    There they are!

    You say I deserve Trump… like I’m the one suffering here. Question: do you honestly think Joe Biden would have permitted the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza? Would that even be a conversation right now? How about turning Gaza into a real estate opportunity for the sitting president?

    I’m not the one suffering the brunt of consequences for your decision to elect Trump over Biden, it’s the Palestinian people who are. All of you made a choice based on principles that you don’t have the political power to support, and the result is one that is far worse for the actual people affected. That makes the choice morally inferior. And, it’s a shame to see what is happening to the people impacted by it.

      We dont have to wonder. Biden proposed moving the Palestinians to Egypt, at Netenyahus suggestion. Egypt rejected the idea and warned it would shut down relations with Israel if they tried, and then Israel backtracked saying they would never have allowed it anyway because it might permit “terrorists” to return and attack someday.

      “You say I deserve Trump… like I’m the one suffering here.”

      If you’re American and not ultra-wealthy you are/will be, just like I will.

      “Question: do you honestly think Joe Biden would have permitted the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza?”

      Yes. Just as he was perfectly fine with them bombing everything from hospitals to schools usimg the weapons he continues to send and using genocidal rhetoric. You would have to be insane to think otherwise.

      “Would that even be a conversation right now?”

      No. It would just be another day of Joe Biden and the Democrats enabling the genocide while “liberals” sit by and let it happen and calling anyone who opposed it a crazy radical. Just like it was during the year long genocidal campaign he DID engage in.

      “I’m not the one suffering the brunt of consequences for your the decision to elect Trump over Biden, it’s the Palestinian people who are.”

      This is the same blatant denialism of Genocide because Joe Biden was the one doing it I just critiqued.
