Yeah, i know that it's the same D.Trump that wanted to ban Tiktok in 2020.
Now, he also apparently played a major role in ending the israeli genocide(, « Which would mean that everyone who said a Trump win will make things worse for Gaza was objectively wrong, and that Biden-Harris were undeniably the greater evil. »).
Thoughts ?

This is why they call you liberal zionist, huh

but if you think it’s not sell a bunch of weapons to Israel I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Again, I've recognized you not as a Starmerite, but you insist on calling me a Trumpite dumbass (ah well, like you ppl might say, dinnae cannae fash yersel that)

You know, when Oct. 7 hit, I thought a few thousand like 5,000 Gazans (fighter or civilian) would just die, maybe just 10,000.

But instead of leaving it like an 2021 clash, which would be still lopsided in Israel's backside, Biden essentially backed an East Timor-sized genocide

Although these numbers are understood to refer to deaths due to traumatic injury, others have speculated that the indirect effects of the military operations against Gaza could push all-cause excess mortality to 186,000

And if you're wondering why it hasn't went higher than 40,000+, according to the Gazan Health Ministry, you can't record when your demographics and infrastructure are being saturation-bombed

(You cannot tell me one has bombed the most dense ~~ghetto-concentration camps~~ cities like that and expect the 1.2 million inhabitants not be decimated)

If Biden didn't want to lose, he should've HEAVILY pressured Israel, like Reagan, mid war in late 2023, if not early 2024,

At this point, hypothesize whatever you want (like, idk, getting fucked by Starmer), and Idc for the irony of the quote I'm gonna copy and paste (I suppose you'll indicate I'm anti-semitic, due to me being anti-zionist)

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

End of story.

You only thought a few thouand would die? No I thought hundreds of thousands. Or, knew, rather. I didn't know there was an estimate outside the 40k figure so thanks for confirming. This would've happened whether it was Biden in or any of the recent previous presidents.

I didn't call you a Trump supporter at any point, you have repeatedly claimed I support Starmer despite the start of this conversation where I defined my political leanings.

I am anti-zionist, your quote doesn't make sense. My reasons are perfectly rational. I don't fall silent or bend the knee.

Every day Trump's actions will show what I've said is true.
