They always land on ad hominem attacks in the end. Very compelling stuff

No, not the ad hominem!

What do you think happens when the people of the most powerful democracy in the world look the other way when their elected officials commit genocide?

Me: Don’t vote for someone guilty of genocide

You: Burn down your house or you’re a hypocrite

And I’m sure you’ll be cheerleading all along

The pier is just more theater like these air drops. In 2 months when the pier is ready for use, thousands will have already died of starvation.

Nope. Not as long as we can continue our comfortable lives over here. Not as long as it’s people who don’t look like us–who don’t speak our language–doing the dying. Not as long as we can block “Gaza” from our feed when it starts to become a real downer.

You’re right, I guess we need to do nothing while thousands of children slowly starve to death before our eyes. I suppose it’s just a sacrifice we have to make.

This isn’t the trolley problem. We have other options. We could force Biden to step aside and have an open convention. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein or Claudia De la Cruz.

It is literally our shells and bombs which our client state is using to kill children while we are the lone veto in the UN Security Council vote for a ceasefire. Obama and Reagan–yes, Ronald Reagan–withheld weapon shipments to Israel over far less. All Biden has to do is follow his own policy which prohibits providing arms that will likely be used to violate human rights. Instead, he has refused to even place conditions on the weapons he gives to Israel, conditions he has been happy to place on arms transfers to Ukraine.

Biden is not merely complicit. He’s a willful participant. He’s a war criminal.

The entire fucking ship is committing a genocide

I’ll assume you’re arguing in good faith. When I said “wrong side of a genocide” I was clearly referring to Germany as a country, not OP. You do know that Germany has filed in the ICJ on the side of Israel, right?

As to your comment regarding conflation of Palestinians with Hamas, I couldn’t agree more. But it’s Israel who is treating the entire population of Gaza like Hamas by depriving them of food, water, and medicine in a total siege while they indiscriminately bomb them.

Yeah, which ones? IndieWire, The Guardian, The Columbus Dispatch, Al Jazeera, Truthout? Those are the only sites I’ve posted from. Be specific. And when you say middle east, do you mean all of the Middle East or just the murderous ethno-colonial government in Israel?

Oh yeah, I get all my news from random tweets

“Over the top”

Biden thinks this over the top and is going to have a come to Jesus talk with Netanyahu over an ice cream cone

I don’t know. A tweet from @OSINT845254459 is a very reliable source of information. /s

Not as long as Democrat politicians know they can continue to count on our votes while they take money from the Zionist lobby and do their bidding. But don’t you dare suggest not voting for Genocide Joe on here. Anyone who would suggest such a thing must be an astroturfing Trump troll. After all, what’s a little genocide in the big picture?

PS: The Zionist lobby isn’t an antisemitic dog whistle. In the US, the Zionist lobby probably gets more support from rabid fundamentalist Christians who think Israel’s ascendancy will trigger the end times than from Jews. That’s been true since the Blackstone Memorial was circulated in 1891.

I’m convinced the rightward swing is from people leaving. I imagine it’s a self-reinforcing feedback loop, too. I wouldn’t mind sometimes or even often being the underdog in a thread, as long as occasionally you could score a small win here or there. But when every comment is just going to get down voted to Hades, it becomes pointless.

It also just makes sense that people who are temperamentally conservative are both more likely to be politically conservative and be slower to abandon ship from a dying platform.
