So this must mean Trump approves of it, right? I mean, we have a 2-party system, so...
Oh, wait. He said Netanyahu needs to "finish the job" and exterminate the Palestinian men, women, and children. But I'm sure this publication plans to mention that, and didn't write this just to help Trump in an election year... Right??
- Trump is not relevant to this story because 1) he's not currently in government, 2) is not being asked to stop the war by many voters in his base, and 3) clearly doesn't give a tinker's fig about the lives of Palestinians anyway.
  
  "Trump is not relevant because he's not the president but in January he could be until at least 2029" is a wild argument.
  Why does what his base wants matter more than the majority will of the country?
  Yeah, that's the point. He doesn't care about Palestinians. Whereas Harris does and is trying to thread the diplomatic needle.
- This fucker is either an anti-american pot-stirrer, or employed by a malicious state actor. Look at their post history.
  
  Liberals have been demonizing Arabs and Muslims since the genocide started. I can’t even post in peace without being attacked.
  If the genocide was happening while a Republican was president you might have opposed it. But because the Democrats are guilty it is far easier to dehumanize the victims and whoever supports them and demands a ceasefire and an end to the unconditional support of Israel.
- Ignoring a politicians genocidal actions bc you prefer their rhetoric over the opposition's rhetoric has historically always gone well
- She will let israel finiah the job just like trump. They are exactly the same. At least trump is honest about hating palestinian while kamala is a hypocrite. Vote for a third option even if they can't win in the short term
  
  No I don't think that's true. I dislike the whole "Palestine is a complex topic" when arguing about helping Palestinians.
  But saying they're exactly the same is not true. The President doesn't run the show despite how it is pitched. They don't control the economy and don't control foreign powers. Kamala and Trump will absolutely handle this bullshit differently, will either one do what will make me happy? No. But saying they'll do the same is so not true.
- Not voting for Trump or Harris. Either one of them gives you president Netanyahu.
  
  Who exactly do you plan on voting for that will prevent that? Remember, candidates that lose elections don't get a say in policy, so if they don't win their positions don't matter.
  
  That’s because you’re not voting for the president of Israel. Tough concept I know
  
  lmfao
We're probably 10-15 years away from having the political will to withhold arms from Israel
Gdi. This is exactly what I feared might happen. It's the best way to deliver a Trump victory. If that happens because of her stance on Israel's genocide, she'll have only herself to blame.
Look, you might not like that Hermann Göring has aided and abetted war crimes and genocide and is planning to continue to do so as Führer, but Reinhardt Heydrich has been more direct and rude about his plans to do the same! We all know that no other candidate will win the election, so if you don't vote for Göring and instead vote for a non-genocidal candidate, you're worse than someone who's voting for Heydrich!
