The fact that you place no blame on Netanyahu and the IDF tells me you aren't serious. It's the same "why didn't the Democrats stop this awful thing someone else is doing" Russian propaganda line we've heard for years now. Enough. What happened in Gaza is a war crime committed by Israel's far right government.

With full and unconditional support from the Biden administration. Who sent them the weapons? Who moved aircraft carriers to defend Israel? Who vetoed ceasefire four times at the UN? Who kept saying that their support of Israel is iron clad?

The only country that actively tried to stop the genocide, i.e. Yemen, ended up being bombed by Biden.

Netanyahu won’t be able to fire a shot without US support.

I’m not sure if you are willfully ignorant or lying.

"Doing" vs "not preventing another country from doing" seems to be subtly different.

Tuvalu, for instance, did nothing to prevent the invasion of Ukraine. Damn them.

Biden wasn’t a passive observer. He supplied the weapons and the political cover at the UN including vetoing ceasefire four times.

People have such little compassion for forging lives in America. Even the "liberals" are still chastising millions of people for choosing to not support any genicidal regime, and not blaming a literal handful of people that knew supporting Israel's genicide would cost them votes. There was no and is no justification for the Democratic party to be pro Isreal. Zionest weren't going to vote blue any ways. So why take a stance that only appeals to only them!? If they really believed Trump was some existential threat to democracy and freedom, (I do believe this and voted blue. Only to watch them throw away millions of votes for no reason!) why didn't they do everything in their power to get every single vote possible? They know that from polling and form left leaning organization that supporting Isreal was a net negative on their chances of winning but told their base to eat rocks or have Trump for president. Whelp. Here we are. This mindset goes for universal health care, free college and college debt forgiveness, wage increase, income inequality, and so much more! But the democrats preferred status quo over actual winning. Dem leadership doesn't care who wins a election because they still get to go home to their ivory towers regardless.

You had two choices and you chose to support trump. This is a fact. Game theory proves this. You have exactly the same culpability as a trump voter.

I voted for the Jewish lady that promised to do something about it. I never voted Republican, I used to vote Democratic. I voted for Biden in 2020 and ended up being complicit in his genocide.

Why do you refuse to understand this simple truth? We were very clear from 2023 that we won’t vote for genocide and the Democratic Party had a year to do something anything about it. What they did was lie, send weapons and veto ceasefire four times at the UN.

Flattening Gaza is one of Biden's accomplishments

Heil Maga. If you have to have to load, or unload, blame the Democrats. You'll love it.

People who think like you are why Harris lost in one of the worst landslides in recent history. Thanks for that, neoliberal

A recent article suggests Trump actually lost when you include rejected ballots. https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won/

Absolutely not a landslide. She lost the popular vote by 1.5%

Although this is one of the few times in recent history a Republican became president while actually winning the popular vote.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Don't forget: 3% of that was vote nullification.

And now you have Trump who wants to force Gaza residents to move to Egypt and similar so Israel can have the land

It's only a reason to keep a presence there, same with South Korea/Taiwan. They don't give a fuck about them or what they do as long as they don't actively harm their interests but they're close to their enemies.
