      “Yes, now that the Democrats are out of office, surely America’s stance on Israel will change for the better!”

        Hamas bad, Netanyahu bad. Hamas did October 7, Netanyahu is currently committing a genocide, racking up about 18.7k kills so far. Biden supports Netanyahu. The wrong thing to do is support a guy trying to eradicate a group of people simply for existing near them. Everyone who thinks Biden is being politically smart about this genocide is delusional.

          Subsidizing their genocide, for one. But that, unfortunately, is a widely popular position both amongst US politicians and the general population, and is unlikely to change in the near-future regardless of who is in office.

                Yes I’m well aware of that. I’m asking whose genocide we are subsidizing. It’s clearly not the Israeli’s since we are giving money to them.

                    Ok so a couple of things.

                    First, when we speak of genocide, generally it is with reference to the victim of the genocide. Using the Holocaust as an example, do you refer to this as the Nazi genocide or the Jewish genocide?

                    Second, we are not funding a genocide against the Palestinians. Israel is fighting Hamas, not the Palestinians. The Palestinians are unfortunate pawns being used by Hamas to shield themselves from Israel. This is an over simplification of the situation, but I don’t think it is fair to say we are funding a genocide against the Palestinians via the Israelis.

            Hamas attacked Israel, murdered thousands of innocent people, they raped grandmother’s and children. That is what your supporting. That’s fucked up.

              These bullshit “If you’re not for Israel, you have to be for Hamas” takes really have to stop

              Where the fuck did I say I supported Hamas?

              Nearly 1% of the population of Gaza is fucking dead, man. In the course of under three months.

      Imagine the entirety of your vote hinging on a candidates policy regarding one single country regardless of their policy of your own.

      Well, it’s better to have a genocide over there than have a genocide over here. Not in my backyard.
