    This situation is specific to the US, but because of the election, right now is the exact wrong time to be raising alarm bells

    The genocide is happening now. Now is the time to organize against it. Democrats do land acknowledgments while also doing genocide. You would have everyone stand back so that they can further the genocide unhindered by domestic opposition.

    and turning blame toward the Biden Administration.

    The Biden Administration, in charge of the global superpower and sponsor of Israel, has been making this genocide possible and providing direct aid and support and planning and PR cover and diplomatic cover to it.

    “Don’t criticize the genociders”. That’s you.

    It’s not that they haven’t made mistakes

    The things they would consider a mistake are things like not cracking down on TikTok earlier so that the public would not be aware of how starkly reality contrasts with what Israeli and American media " report". So that the public would not sympathize with those facing genocide.

    The full backing of Israeli genocide, however, is consistent and intentional. The idea that it is accidental is the kind of PR they sell hoping that their uninformed partisan audience (usually old people without media literacy) will just accept it without question.

    it’s that the alternative is so, so much worse.

    The thing happening right now is genocide. This tired and poor lesser evil logic doesn’t even apply.

    What’s happening is a tragedy, but it will only widen in scope and be replicated elsewhere if Trump takes office again.

    It seems you believe your only political role is to cheerlead genociders. You cannot imagine taking an oppositional role to genocide, to act directly against it, or to make demands by building and using leverage. Ask yourself how your logic does not apply to giving the green light to those committing genocide. For there to be zero consequences. Think about the actual logic rather than repeating talking points.

    This “all I can do is cheerlead for my team” is exactly how your masters want you to behave so that they can do things like genocide and still get your vote and openly voiced support (you are not even ashamed!).

    Please stop being complicit in genocide.
