    Only an American could describe opposition to genocide as “ignorant or arrogant”

      Hey now, that’s not fair.

      Israelis and Boers would say that, too. And some Germans, still, believe it or not.

      There was no opposition to genocide. That would be the ignorant justification.

      The choice was between genocide, and genocide with fascism. Knowing that, and choosing to do nothing so you feel better, is arrogant.

        I know people with disabilities caused by police responses to our fight against genocide.

        Genocide apologist, beg for forgiveness.

        Like hell there wasn’t. Don’t project your own lack of morality onto everyone else.

        The choice was between genocide, and genocide and fascism

        Yeah, nothing fascist about exterminating an entire race in order to expand an authoritarian ethnostate…

          There are two parties that can with a US presidential election. The choices were bad or worse for Palestinians. Voting for anyone other than bad, is permitting worse to take office.

          Welcome to first past the post. It’s a civic duty, not a representation of who you are. Is it fair? Fuck no. That’s how it works for now, and the West Bank will be a billionaire resort thanks to people’s “higher morals.” Way to go. Hope they sleep better at night. The Palestinians sure won’t.

            Trump has been no worse than Democrats on Palestine, and the fact that libs think he has, shows that they’ll only be honest about the situation when Republicans are in charge.

            Hope they sleep better at night. The Palestinians sure won’t.

            It’s disgusting of you to act like you care about Palestinians.

              Are you completely outside of your mind? Trump is shipping massive bulldozers to level the West Bank and turn it into a billionaire resort, with no intention of returning the Palestinians to their land once it’s done.

              Ask yourself this, between Harris and Trump, which one is more likely to withhold munitions and military aid from Israel? Remember, this isn’t “ideal land.” Those are your only two choices.

                Democrats were already providing Israel everything it needed to level West Bank. You only say otherwise because you’re a genocide denier when it’s your team doing it.

                Harris and Trump were both equally unlikely to withhold military aid and munitions from Israel. The fact you think otherwise it’s because you’re a genocide denier when it’s your team doing it.

                  Cool. So you’re in agreement that there was no way to stop the genocide.

                  Then why not vote against the fascist dictator? Oh, because you have superior morals when it comes to the Palestinians, but not the Hispanics and trans people in the US. Got it.

                    So you’re not even pretending to be honest.

                    And yeah, nothing fascist about exterminating an entire country to expand an authoritarian ethnostate
