    No it only sounds stupid when you say that china allows Israeli capitalism to thrive.

    Getting hung up on the descriptor of nato countries being responsible for arming and funding the genocide is a deliberate obfuscation and refusal to acknowledge that these countries coordinate their military intelligence/technology and are connected through nato. Nato isnt like the UN where it’s some separate body from the member states, the member states ARE nato.

    i/e nato is responsible for supplying israel with weapons = america, France, germany, Britain, turkey, etc are supplying israel with weapons.

    If russia, brazil, china, and iran were funding Israeli genocide we would be saying “brics is funding genocide in gaza” and you would unironically accept that framing even though brics is itself an economic pact whereas nato is explicitly a military defense pact. It is a descriptor, used because spelling out all 32 nato nations who are complicit is a waste of time when you can just say “nato is responsible for these weapons being used against palestinians” and it conveys the exact same meaning to anyone who isnt a pedant.
