    I wonder how many of these groups actually give a shit about Palestinians, and which ones are using their dire situation to push some bullshit political agenda… They have to know nothing real will come of this, and I’m sure there are many who just love the timing of this. How convenient for them.

      Even if they have no foreign ties, it makes sense to do this now, as pressuring Biden and the US has the best effect now, as the genocide is still happening and Biden has something (the election) to lose.

      Also, labelling people who are doing things inconvenient to the current mainstream is very much Russia-like. Please be better. Trump is a clear and present threat, but there are ways other than Trump to slide into fascism.

      Many Republicans are feigning support for Gazans because they know that certain Leftists will fall for the ruse and abstain from voting for Biden.
