Lemmy: bOth PArTiES ARE zIoniSt gEnociDERS!

All these people are convinced that Trump would be worse for Palestinians.

And maybe they're right, maybe Trump will send in straight up death squads. Maybe he'll build vans that pipe the exhaust into the cargo area and ship them to tel Aviv. Maybe he'll start sending the Israelis Zyclon b.

But the fact remains. The last year has been the most deadly for Palestinians. Ever. More Palestinians have been killed in the last year than died during the formation of the state of Israel. More Palestinians have had their homes destroyed in the last year, then ever before in modern history.

At this point, saying Trump would be worse for Palestine is like saying that Himmler would have been worse for the Jews. Possibly technically correct, but also a poor attempted genocide denial.

Trump feels the only thing Israel is doing wrong is not killing Palestinians fast enough.

Worse, if Trump wins, he will bring the worst Israeli policies to the United States.

  1. He will take Israel's policy of illegally invading Lebanon as a "security zone" and apply it to Mexico:

  1. He will set up internment camps in the United States for immigrants and others classed as "undesirable":

  1. He will purge the government of any and all opposition:

  1. He wants to arrest journalists:

To be clear here, if Harris does not win, Trump will. Those are your two choices. You can choose to vote for Harris or you court disaster. There is no viable 3rd choice.

Ok.

More Palestinians killed than in 1948. But, we can't criticize the administration committing a holocaust, we can't say anything negative about Hitler because "Himmler would be even worse"

I still remember when you shitlibs said "WHATABOUTISM" was bad, now you use it unironically to defend ethnic cleansing.

We absolutely can criticize the administration committing a holocaust... The ISRAELI administration.
