I always thought about the public discourse regarding wars in general

Let's say the majority of the population is simply 'anti war' and focus on these people.

Is it not sufficient to support this message?

Does not with with us = against us actually apply to wars (or maybe this particular war)

Wonder what your thoughts on this are.

Firstly, this is not a war, it is a genocide against unarmed civilians. Anyone saying anything else is absolutely evil.

Secondly, if anti-war is a synonym for anti-violence, which I believe it is in this case, then the cold reality is that Palestinians have tried peaceful protest before, and they were simply gunned down by laughing IDF monsters. Some regimes will only be defeated by violence. This Zionist regime seems to be one such.

Lastly, silence in the face of such atrocities is violence, as the cliche has it.
