    Everyone will have always been against this, but those damned Leftist who came in during ramp up of the genocide in 2023 and 2024 will still have been unserious and irrational and detrimental to the cause of peace.

    Same with Iraq. What you said was wrong, because you said it at the wrong time and argued with the wrong people. You didn’t know back then what we knew and you didn’t understand what we understood and you were so rude about it when you should have been casual and polite, while tens of thousands of people were being butchered.

    So yes it’s a genocide, but you’re still expelled from Columbia for being anti-semitic. Maybe even deported to a blacksite in El Salvador. And you have only yourself to blame.

        Do you believe that the 6M voters who showed up for Biden in 2020 and walked away from Harris in 2024 were Leftists? Or is this just Schrodinger’s Leftist? The one whose vote never matters when Democrats are winning but always costs the candidate the election when they lose?

            As opposed to the Democratic leaders who chose Genocide over winning an easy election? The same leaders who were brilliantly telling voters to sit down and shut up, who made everything so much better, and doubtless learned a lot?

              The state of the American mind is such that they literally cannot conceive of an outcome that doesn’t massacre 450k people and counting.

                I call it inherent suppremacism. They never considered foreigners as human, they solely comprehended gaza through the lense of their domestic politics. Still do: vylan is a british artisk afaik, blocked by the british governement, for his stance about a genocide that happens in the middle east.

                Still some american idiot WILL take that opportunity to spreas his admin-sanctionned denialist narrative according to which “no the genocide was unavoidable actually you are the scums for not voting for the genocider. Now i have to face my own medecine and it’s so bitter”

                As opposed to a fantasy, yes.

                Ah yes. Nothing is possible, we should accept the scraps that our rulers and industry leaders allow us and be grateful. “The orphan crushing machine is quite tolerable today, thank ye sire for only taking three children”.

                If Biden truly wanted to, he could have curbed Israel in 2023. And not even anything as bold as an immediate and complete arms embargo; there was a lot of US soft power that he and Harris refused to wield, and what was done was largely token optics like sanctioning settlers whilst shipping arms contrary to US regulations, or ‘pausing’ delivery of 2,000lb bombs whilst keeping the 500lb & 1,000lb bombs and artillery shells flowing.

                  Through what means and with what downside? “Because he said so” and “None / Who cares” aren’t options.

                  You’re really sure though, so I’m interested to know.

                    He could have simply said that he wouldn’t be selling them weapons in accordance with the Leahy Law.

                    Whose votes do you think he would lose? Centrists? I thought they were all about “no matter who.”
