While the president has stood strongly behind Israel since Hamas attacked, he said on “60 Minutes” that a new occupation of Gaza would “be a big mistake.”
I don’t believe in setting bars people are demonstrably unable to reach. You’re basically asking people to start a civil war to protect strangers they’ll never meet, knowing the outcome of such a war is far from certain. Even if you win, the damage to your country could be catastrophic, and the odds of ending up with new leaders who are at least as bad as the old ones are pretty high.
I am listening to what you’re saying, you’re making excuses for Americans who don’t care enough to stop a genocide happening on their dime.
What do you think the most effective way is for an American to try to prevent this genocide? Your whataboutism isn’t wholly wrong, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do beyond writing to my senators demanding that they kill the funding. So, what is your answer?
What makes you think I’m talking about Americans in particular? And when did you go from “people are obligated to stage a coup” to “people should write their senators?” I fail to see the so-called whataboutism you’re accusing me of, and you sure seem to have a hard time deciding what you’re even talking about.

Yes, you should start a civil war to prevent your country doing genocide. Because the alternative is genocide. What exactly is complicated about this?
You’re not listening to what I’m saying.
Also, why are you on the internet and not out overthrowing a genocidal government right now? Shame on you!

Israelis are obliged to stage a coup. Maybe Americans are too, along with all of the countries funding Israeli genocide.
Its whataboutism to say I’m only aloud to be against genocide if I’ve already staged a coup. Its a completely bullshit deflection.
I shouldn’t have taken you in good faith, my apologies. I’ll treat you like an insincere troll if you prefer.
