You didn’t hear the US state dept repeatedly claiming “Israel has a right to defend itself” for 6 straight months after the Hamas attack? They still won’t let corpo media use the term genocide, some high profile reporters have even resigned over it.
I see people agreeing it’s complex, because it is. But the majority of liberals I see, across multiple mediums, are against this. Not all of course, %100 of a group rarely does something, but anyone in these comments both siding this while also just oddly admitting to being liberal are not the majority.
That’s too hard to understand. Just say they support Genocide, it makes it all so easy! Surely, they can’t be deeply dissatisfied while remaining rational about the devastating implications of wavering when Christo-fasistism is looming on the horizon.
Now that I kinda think about it… no no, they love genocide. Ez pz.
You won’t see many of us both side shit regarding this. It’s an attempt to genocide, pretty easy. What you will see are people, often very angry, who immediately make assumptions, claim we are genocide lovers, and refuse to listen to literally anything, including their target agreeing with them. Tbh part of me feels as if Republicans are in the comment sections trying to split hairs and widen divisions at times.
There is no genocide in gaza, If you want to blame someone for dead civilians,blame Hamas for hiding behind said civilians. Israel and hamas are at war and every death is tragic but the IDF is not purposfully eradicating an ethnic group.
No, Israel and Hamas are on the same side. Israeli politicians helped Hamas politicians get into power in Gaza during the last election. Netanyahu knows for a fact that oppression creates resistance, this was inevitable from his government’s actions. Israel chose to oppress Palestinians knowing it would lead to resistance, because Hamas is a convenient excuse for ethnic cleansing.
Hamas has called multiple times for a hostage exchange. Israel has refused. Why doesn’t Israel want its hostages back? Why is it choosing violence when there’s a peaceful solution right there on the table waiting for them to take it? Israel is risking the lives of its own hostages by bombing Gaza where they’re located. Why don’t they want the hostages to survive?
I haven’t heard any liberals trying to “both sides” the issue. I have heard Republicans expressing their support for the genocide though.

Corrupt govt actions does not equal how everyday liberals feel. Come on.

Average citizens didn’t get put on trial. If you knew anything about WW2 you’d know the citizens suffered from the Nazi uprising as well.
You haven’t been to Lemmy.world then, lol.
Reddits r/worldnews sub is probably the worst.
It’s likely that the use of “Western Liberals” here is meant to include both major US political parties.

Some popular streamer called Destiny apparently denied the genocide in a debate.
