Same to you.
And the red in that graph is "injuries", not "deaths". When Hamas attacked Israel a few days ago they butchered over 1300 people, mostly civilians, the most ever killed in a single day in this mess.
Does that excuse the Israeli government's apartheid fascism? Of course not. Does it make appropriate for governments to take a moment to show support? Yes.
You can argue that it's retaliation for decades of oppression, or for the horrible attacks in Palestine in 2014 that killed even more people spread over a month.
That doesn't make it right. It's still terrorism. It's still butchering civilians.
No, it does not make it appropriate for governments to show support for the genocide that Israel is committing. And the fact that you don't understand that says everything I need to know about you.
