      The US has been green-lighting genocide in the Middle East for decades. Party A only seems to notice when Party B takes over the White House. But this has been an ongoing horror story going back to Operation Ajax and the dismantling of the Egyptian democracy following the death of Gamal Nasser, largely through collaboration between the CIA, MI5, and the Mossad.

      His base supporters don’t really know or care about the details, because they’re too invested in doing white nationalism at home. His opponents only seem to care about the genocide as far as it allows them to express racist sentiments toward Arab-Americans and other Muslim groups for being insufficiently enthusiastically liberal. His bourgeois supporters recognize genocide as a get-rich-quick scheme for their failsons and faildaughters.

      This bloodshed won’t end before the western military occupiers are removed from the region. And I doubt I’ll see that happen in my lifetime.

    I would like ANYONE to stick a camera into the face of these Arab and Muslim leaders who told their followers to help get trump elected because they didn’t think Joe Biden was acting fast enough or giving them the attention they wanted and ask them if their feelings are still hurt with news like this.

    I’m sure the people of Gaza are so pleased with them and their stupidity

        There are far too many people on this earth who can only imagine black and white.

        They can’t imagine you can have bad and you can have much worse and they are not the same thing.

        Edit - in case the downvote wasn’t someone who voted trump to “save Palestine”, my point is you don’t save someone from bad by giving them worse. Which we did.

        And not “voting for bad” while allowing worse is performative privilege.

      Both Trump and Biden/Harris are terrible choices for Palestine. Having said that, count the number of Palestinian casualties under Biden and the number of Palestinian casualties under Trump. I’ll wait.

      Also count the number of weeks of ceasefire brokered by Trump vs Biden.

              Joe Biden presented the deal in May 2024 and Netanyahu quickly rejected it. It’s only when Steve Witkoff, Trump’s envoy, forced Netanyahu to meet during Shabbat and pressured him to take the deal that it the ceasefire actually happened, shortly before Trump’s inauguration.

      There was no chance under biden or harris that the genocide would end without running to completion. None. They’re both centrists, and genocide is the only policy I’ve never seen a centrist abandon.

      Voted harris but refuse to carry water for genocide supporters.

          Because in another recent discussion we had, you called me a russian, had that comment removed by the mods, and then whined about how unfairly you were being treated by the complicit mods for enforcing their rules.

          This sure looks like you’re trying to call me a russian again without saying it outright.

          We should have used all the resources that we wasted supplying the genocide that centrists dearly love in Gaza and used them to shore up Ukraine. Instead, netanyahu got his weapons no questions asked, while Ukraine had to wait for democrats to play stupid games with immigration bills first before getting around to the tiresome obligation of making a token gesture toward preventing putin from steamrolling Europe.

        Unsupporting the red and blue party is the correct thing to do and what will ultimately lead to a positive change. The duopoly party narrative is holding on a really thin line because everyone is unsatisfied on both sides, in europe third parties win plenty of times.

        If you throw your trash out of the window that isn’t going to change world pollution but you don’t do that because we live in a society and everyone is supposed to do his part.

      Biden’s help killed more at this time, but Trump should catch up by late summer or early autumn this year. Then we can say Trump killed more than Biden.

      But Trumps crimes elsewhere will eclipse this grim milestone , and I doubt most commentators here will remark on that when it happens

            I have this idea for a site like a high score thing, where you could (with citations provided) the kill total of world leaders. See how Stalin, Hitler and Mao stack up to Nixon, Bush, Clinton and Trump.

              We’d have to adjust for population growth. Genghis Khan is probably still the reigning genocide champ.

              Where it gets difficult to estimate is when people die many years later from the effects.

              Even hurricanes are only recently understood to be a huge cause of mortality over a decade later. So where does one draw the line? When support structures in a society are destroyed by nature or man things happen years later.

              And then one had to decide how many a leader is directly responsible for, and how many subordinates acting on their own did.

      What a strawman of an argument you’ve created. That was never an argument being made, it was that genocide wouldn’t be any worse because genocide is genocide.

      And how is this at all different from any of the strikes Biden agreed on that resulted in mass deaths?

      Oh and the cake you’re laughing about? Those are children’s lives. Get some perspective and stop reveling in misery.

        because genocide is genocide.

        That’s dumb. Killing more people is worse than killing fewer.

          It’s more dumb to think killing everyone is any different to killing everyone.

          Genocide brings about the death of the whole cultural group.

          There is no little or big genocide, it is all genocide.

        Bullshit. It was absolutely an argument being made. “We kNoW BiDeN sUpPoRtS gEnOcIde; MaYbE tRuMp WiLl Be BeTtEr” (paraphrased) is very much the sort of dumbass rhetoric that was being tossed around and don’t you dare try to gaslight me otherwise!

        Centrists are stubbornly determined to move right from here. Introspection is a threat to that, so they won’t.
