At least the other comment had the decency to provide sources for their statements

They’re not, they are criticizing that and having a more nuanced conversation about the role of capitalism in this situation.

That user is just obsessed with them. Even if they clearly have never been in those communities to see for themselves

I fully accept and recognize 100% of the damage Biden and Harris have done

You actually don’t. And you wrote why yourself later

Why won’t you recognize the objective fact that Trump is worse on almost every issue, especially this issue?

What is “worse” in this genocide? You, just like a lot of average Democrat people on both Lemmy and Reddit, have this idea. There’s no “worse” genocide. All the atrocities that happened under Biden, will sadly simply continue to happen under Trump.

Just because you usually vote for the Democrats, it doesn’t magically make their “genocide lite” more appealing…or exist. It’s not a thing. Try telling someone from Palestine that things are about to get worse after all they’ve witnessed and see what they reply.

You, and everyone else guilty of this, are simply minimizing their experience and policing their voices. “I know you think this is already the end of you, your family and everything else you hold dear, but trust me, this other guy that I hate, is worse than witnessing your dear one being burned alive”

There was a choice between “continue” or “get worse”.

Wrong, the choice in Palestine and Gaza has depressingly always been “continue” or “continue” with the genocide.

And that’s why I felt sick by the comments. Because you (and everyone else in .world) is STILL doing this exact shit, after Palestinian people have been trying to tell you this for far over a year

Spoken like someone who still doesn’t truly understand all the destruction and death that Biden caused and supported.

I guess for you and all the people like you, Palestinian lives are just not worth as much.

With all your genocide apologism, I might as well be back in Reddit…how depressing

Lmao what kind of nonsense is this?

Edit: this instance is WILD. Y’all are always crying about .ml or hexbear or whatever else, but at least they’re not making fun of the literal ongoing genocide that was supported and funded by the Democrats.

Now I see why people talk shit about this instance too. I feel gross after reading such comments and seeing how many upvotes they got

The US, at one point, stated that it would use any and all means necessary to prevent ICC prosecution of US servicemembers…

…including, but not limited too, carrying an offensive attack on a friendly NATO country, to cover up any possible attempts at justice.

Nice effort at jedi mind tricking your way around it lol

to state sponsored assainations of private citizens.

You’re talking about the US’ policy abroad here, right?

Comparing strategic war plans

Or is this your attempt at justifying drafting plans to invade a friendly country?

Either way…whatever you gotta tell yourself

Typical exaggeration by the media then.

The US too drafted a plan to invade the Netherlands “just in case” the International Court decided that the US should follow international law.

I’m guessing a slow news day at Politico

I’ll post my (edited) comment again for all to see since the mods thought it was too uncivil in its previous version.

I think the people of Palestine should implement a state like Kurdistan and abandon their ties with Hamas

And how exactly are they supposed to do any of that while being bombed? Or while Israel doesn’t allow them to leave their internment areas? Or while dismissing any ceasefire proposal? What you’re saying is impossible because Israel doesn’t want it to happen. And I find gross how in all of this you keep putting the blame on Hamas instead of Israel, the one with the money, power and influence in all of this

I support Hamas as much as I support any government who kills innocents in the name of jihad or any other “struggle”

So to you being the victims of a genocide is just another “struggle”. Thanks for making clear to us the kind of person you are. You’re definitely not the victim of Zionist propaganda /s. But sarcasm aside, I’ll stop interacting with you now. There is only so much victim-blaming I can stomach in a day

Removed by mod

Are you aware that Hamas is the only reason people in Palestine have water and electricity?

I’ll say it again, you’re just using Zionist talking points. And it takes a special kind of entitled person to tell a group of people being ethnically cleansed how they should act and how they should be “mOrE pEacEfUl” while being the victims of genocide

What do hamas think of women?

What does Israel think of all the women they raped and killed then? And what does it think of children too, since they killed more children then any other country in 2024?

Gtfo with your Zionist talking points

I might sound like an asshole and I apologize in advance if I do because it’s not about you specifically in this case but, while I’m glad that you had people in your life who were willing to consistently talk to you and help you rethink some things, the problem to me is exactly that like you said, it does not happen overnight. At all. It actually takes a long time and a lot of trust between people to achieve what was achieved with you in this particular case. And while I am certainly glad to have another ally, time is a luxury in some cases.

Using the case of Palestine, a Palestinian village getting bombed because so many liberals simply don’t value their lives enough and don’t pressure their officials to do something about it, doesn’t have the luxury of time.

As another example, the collapse of our ecosystem is happening every single day. And while we let companies continue business as usual, those liberals think that it’s a topic that can always be postponed. But it can’t. And now we’re past the point of no return and yet we waste time in pointless conversations trying to explain to people that what is happening, is happening.

If some people on the left are willing to and have the time to take liberals by the hand and explain to them things they could look up for themselves if only they weren’t so dismissive and disinterested in the suffering of others, great. They surely have my thank. But I don’t think as a general strategy makes sense to wait for such liberal people to suddenly decide that importent issues are finally important enough to them to be acted upon.

Those issues have always been important and worthwhile. Their previous lack of interest about such topics is their own failure.

You’re talking as if for over a year (cough decades cough) Palestinian activists hadn’t tried talking to the liberals about their party’s unshakable support for the ongoing genocide.

What’s left to say to people who are “going to pick the lesser of 2 evils” even when you showed them that their pick is still funding the ethnic cleansing of all Palestinian people?

We should talk to general leftist people. Not the liberals. They still value money and profit over people

By definition, if you live in the US, you live a country from the “first world” bloc (ie. The western bloc)

Please stop using the term “third world” to mean poor country
