Gotta end supporting Israel’s far right genocide as first step

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works -5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Oh, like Trump isn't gleeful at the bombing of Gaza! Mr Muslim Ban, who built his real estate empire on deals with New York Jews and actively courts the Evangelical Right, who believe the rise of Israel is essential to God's Plan.

(To be fair there's a lot of New York Jews who are adamantly against what Israel is doing now, but they don't vote for Trump either)

Not everything that is critical of Biden is in support of trump. People are going to vote 3rd party or just not vote because of Biden’s support for what Israel is doing

As they should. Voters must show that supporting Israel loses elections, otherwise Genocide will continue.

I'll ask an honest question here: What do you think Trump would be doing materially differently from Biden in the handling of this conflict? Israel has essentially been given carte blanche, weapons sales are continuing without congressional approval, and humanitarian aid to Gaza is severely restricted.

What could Trump be doing that's worse than this? Sending in US troops to massacre Palestinians is about the only place you can go, and that doesn't seem like him.

Trump would cut all US humanitarian aid to Gaza and of course also throw Ukraine under the bus, while of course grifting and setting himself up as dictator for life, and continue finding new ways to be horrible that I had never imagined, just like before.
