So? Does that make continuing to enable genocide right? Is that some sort of fucking justification? If not, why bring it up? "Everyone else is doing it" is another shitty excuse, and the fourth I've seen here on lemmy. The other three, summarized:
"That's the way we've always done it;" "We might be called antisemitic by the party that chants 'Jews will not replace us';"
and "Trump loves it so that makes it ok."
This is what I mean about support for genocide on lemmy. Making shit excuses for it instead of condemning it.
Biden said there’s a red line of Rafah is invaded. So Israel does airstrikes in Rafah and says they don’t count as in invasion. Bigger airstrikes with dozens dead and charred victims. Biden says they don’t count. The red line becomes squiggles and dotted line and neither says the line was crossed.
Today Israel sent TANKS into Rafah. Still think this doesn’t count as in invasion?
If you're mad at Biden, why would you vote for someone that promises to be worse?
There's no sense to it. The only message you will be sending is that you approve of even greater atrocities.
Also, in case you're completely blind, Netanyahu wants Trump back in office. He's going to do everything he can to stay in power and convincing rubes to vote for Trump because "genocidin Biden" is part of his strategy.
How would Trump be worse for the Palestinians?
Would Bibi bomb even harder? Because he seems to be ignoring international pressure now. Would Trump give even more bombs to Bibi? Because there doesn't seem to be a handle on the throttle now.
Trump moved the embassy. Did biden move it back?
Trumps despicable. There's lots of reasons to prefer biden come November, but how is biden better on this issue?
So, in other words, you want the Palestinians to just die, huh? I'm impressed. Not only are you throwing vulnerable Americans under the bus, but also those protesting Israel's actions, and the Palestinians themselves.
Be honest with yourself. You don't give a damn about the Palestinians or any brown people. You just want to use them to score political points. And as a brown person myself, I find that utterly despicable.
Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators
Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”
"Israel, Trump argued, needs his help. Street demonstrations for Israel get smaller crowds than his rallies, he said."
So, in other words, you want the Palestinians to just die, huh?
No, I don't. Biden isn't doing anything to stop it anyway. I want something to vote FOR rather than just voting against something I don't want. Biden is not earning my vote right now.
“If it came down to Trump and Joe Biden, I will vote for Trump. Because it doesn’t get worse than Joe Biden,” a man named Salah told me. His friend, Amad, added, “Biden was supposed to be the peacemaker. The comfort-maker. Instead, he became accessory to the biggest genocide in modern history.”

“Imagine thinking it’s a good argument to say to a community that has lost 30,000 people, ‘Watch out for the guy that’s going to ban you.’ You’re really asking me whether I’m going to take a ban or a genocide? I’ll take a ban,” Zahr told me.
“I mean, we’ve literally seen our families and our people being thrown into mass graves. Babies blown to bits. It’s not some far-off thing to us,” he said. “It’s been a struggle to declare our own humanity while mourning for our people being massacred.”

The truth is Ahmed was one of the only Arabs I could find in Dearborn who openly admitted they actually planned to vote for Biden in November.
