pfft, remember all those countries telling Israel they better not bomb Rafah?
So anyway they started blastin’
“Whats everyone so upset about? We’ve only killed 1% of the Palestine population. We’re minimizing civilian deaths. Ignore the fact it’s overwhelmingly women and children though.”
30,000 of 2 million is 1.5%.
That’s halfway to the Bosnian genocide levels in less than a year.
I don’t know what makes my head spin more, the rate at which Israel is slaughtering Palestinians not just with the absolutely mental amount of bombs they are dropping on a tiny area but also with the cutting off of basic necessities and the associated starvation and deaths of despair…… or the fact that US media, Joe Biden and US centrists just don’t seem to have a “too far” for Israel slaughtering Palestinians.
According to the UN it may be as much as 6 percent. Nobody has looked under the rubble yet.

Definitely the most moral army💕
But they text people before destroying their lives!?
“Your home and everything you’ve worked for will be completely destroyed in 15 minutes, flee while you can. We are good guys btw”
“Hey guys pick up all your shit and move to this safezone. We won’t bomb it.”
“Lol oops jk”
They did not say that. The safe zone was solely meant to protect people from the bulk of the ground fighting in Gaza city. That’s it. Don’t make up nonsense.
Hahahahaha. Holy fuck. You think it sounds better that there are no safe zones for civilians? That anywhere they go within their state, surrounded at all sides, they can be bombed from the skies?
Fuck right off you IDF goon.
Serious question: Is this your first war? Wars usually don’t have safe zones at all. Even a terrible safe zone is still better than nothing.
Serious question, you think this is a fucking war? You think both sides have equatable forces and that Israel is in significant danger of retaliation? They’ve killed more hostages themselves than Hamas has. This is an extermination by a country with zero moral boundaries.
Lemmy is not the place for truths. People have decided what their truth looks like and it’s the jews’ fault when that clashes with reality. This place is 100% pro “Palestine” and other nonsense.
‘Everywhere you go will be bombed as well LOL’
Name any other army that does this. Homes can be rebuilt, people can not. This is the least terrible option.
Kind of a trick question since a lot of armies aren’t routinely bombing civillian houses in the first place.
Yeah except they lied and decided the bomb everything anyway. They only do this for PR, not because they actually care about Palestinians.
Hot take I know, but they could not destroy a whole region filled with civilians.
I’ve had some ex-girlfriends like that
But Genocide Joe told me that he wouldnt allow it! Especially not now he’s trying to send israel 17 billion in bombs!
Genocide Blind Biden more like. He’s not doing the genocide directly just completely fucking ignoring it. The pool of blood is going to reach his knees soon, I wonder how long he can ignore it before he drowns.
Actively vetoing proposals for a ceasefire isn’t ignoring.
Huh, he is not ignoring anything, you can’t just ignore 30000 deaths, he is actively funding it, just the normal brown and religious hate ya know, nothing new
But don’t forget to let centrist dems know you’ll keep voting for them even if they support a genocide.
Hey, stupid, the other choice is letting Trump win and even if Biden personally grabbed a gun and started murdering Palestinians in the streets he’d do less damage than Trump would.
Please remove your head from your ass or we will, yet again, let that flagrantly fascist psychopath take charge.
Damn thats crazy, maybe the centrist dems should have voted for a candidate in the primary that wouldn’t abandon the critical “anti-genocide” voting bloc. I’ll gladly take a term of trump if it means less shit dem candidates in the future.
Leftists and progressives have 0 leverage against centrist democrats if our votes are unconditional, if supporting a genocide isn’t a line too far then nothing is.
Damn maybe voting democratic even as a centrist is closer to center than how far the right has gone. Damn maybe not voting because you don’t like your choices just allows a candidate that has radically more damaging positions take the position of power.
Maybe not voting like a pretentious little bitch actually fucks over yourself and everyone who has similar principles to you because you want to feel morally superior.
Voting for Trump THE FIRST TIME was supposed to be the “we’ll get less shitty dems” how the fuck did that work out? Oh it didn’t! Stop being so fucking stupid. This logic is so twisted and broken it could serve as the next Republican frontrunner.
You’re not going to shame me into voting for the guy arming a genocide lol. If the centrist dems don’t like losing votes from the left they should stop choosing unviable candidates in the primary.
But even ignoring any long term goals to drag the democrats left kicking and screaming I’m just not going to vote for a guy that armed a genocide. Not holding my nose for that.

Lool and the people who say that shit about Biden think blue maga isnt a thing. Seems pretty apt when Biden voters say shit like that.
Oh that’s a tough one. Maybe. Depends on the time of day I’d reckon.
I, for one, don’t think we should give our elected officials a free pass just because the other guy would be worse.
Who said anything about a free pass? You’re making shit up now. I said we should vote for him, not get on our knees and suck. Critique him. Talk shit about him just as I have. But if you don’t vote for him you’re absolutely letting the other guy have a better chance because of your pretentious indignation.
You implicitly said you would still vote for Biden if he “grabbed a gun and started murdering Palestinians in the streets.” I’d consider that to be giving Biden a free pass because although I’ll vote for Biden, I wouldn’t if he started literally murdering people with his own hands, and I don’t think you would either.
Ah right I forget that when pseudo intellectuals are losing an argument you take hyberbolism as a literal point to poison the well.
The damage Biden is likely to cause is far less than the damage Trump already has and has proudly stated he would do. Even if Biden got considerably worse, he would more than likely still be better than Trump and would still get my vote.
There’s your boring translation of what I said that you can’t easily attack for being hyperbolic.
I don’t know why you didn’t say that the first place. Before, you sounded like a deranged asshole.
Hyperbole is used to better illustrate a point by using extremes. Notice how you say I sounded like a deranged asshole. Bit extreme but I understand that you mean I came off rude because instead of just calling me rude you went much further than what a reasonable person would say to make the point more clear.
You understand what it means to be hyperbolic, understood what I meant when I was being hyperbolic, but still forced me to deconstruct it and make it sound more meek than what I intended.
Now that’s a bit rude, isn’t it?

biden is flagrantly fascist, too, so maybe we should choose someone else, like cornel west or jill stein.
I’m starting to turn around on this. I feel like Trump is corruptable, so some Saudi money can make him change his mind.
Biden is okay with genocide. I don’t know how Trump can be much worse than what Biden is already doing.
Pretty sure Trump has openly supported the IDF and said he’d do worse. Protecting the weak isn’t in the GOP playbook and hopefully we won’t have to see if he can be bribed to change his mind.
Open support is better than what Biden is doing. Gas lighting.
I don’t think it’s possible for Trump to do worse. What can be worse? Sending more money to Israel? Obstructing any ceasefire or mechanisms of international justice? Not recognizing Palestinians sovereignty? Bidens government is already doing these things. What does worse look like? I think what Biden is doing is as bad as it gets, he needs to be shown that he lost the left and we don’t have to vote for him.
Open support is better than what Biden is doing
Alright you’ve lost your fucking mind, out.

“you should shove your thumb up your ass in protest, it’ll do so much good! Really stick it to the genocidal dems” - 🤡
If I vote(solid blue here so not much practical point) I’m doing a write in for president and any pro-israel candidates down ballot. I would not be upset by Biden losing to trump by the margin of votes for “stop the genocide” in swing states. Preferably with a blue congress but whatever it takes to drive the point home for dems that they cannot cross this line and still have electoral viability.

What an incredibly idiotic thing to do. Trump is hell-bent on destroying American democracy and giving both China and Russia all the Lebensraum that they want while enriching himself. And do look up his Israel policy, while you’re at it.
The amount of suffering a Trump victory has a high chance of creating makes the war in Gaza look like a picnic.
So you’ve got like 9 months to figure this out, but it really didn’t work last time to call everyone who didn’t like the centrist democrat option idiotic. Just history rhyming is all. Let’s try a different rhetoric?

Oh boy get ready for the downvotes
Yeah, the left is the problem here, cause republicans are totally anti genocide
“Kill ’Em All,” Republican Congressman Says of Palestinians in Gaza
oh wait…
Meanwhile, the average elected Democrat’s position:
I send you an actual news article, and all you can do is reply with a strawman cartoon, claiming it’s democrats?
You want to cite actual democratic politicians calling for more war or do you just want to live in your fantasy world?
I’d say this is more akin to liberals. There are plenty of Zionist Dems who are fully on the genocide bandwagon.
Libs think it’s complicated and there’s two sides to the story. Wake the fuck up, it’s genocide. There’s only one side to this.
I hope people would just learn to apologise to each other for their mistake instead of fighting to the death like cave mans
