I think Trump has been ringing up Netanyahu regularly to argue against Israel agreeing to Biden’s ceasefire plan, like he said he is, so Trump is working to keep the genocide in Gaza going and you can’t bring yourself to admit this or talk about it while Trump felt admits it and even boasts of it in public.
Why can’t both be true? Sure. Trump tells Netanyahu not to accept the ceasefire. And when Netanyahu says no, rather than doing something to further pressure him, like making the munitions we send them conditional on a ceasefire, he just gives up and sends more bombs.
We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of options! We asked him nicely to stop and he told us no. :(
One of two people will be president next: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. It’s very important for the people of Gaza that it’s Kamala, not Trump. It’s a literal binary choice that the country faces. And then there’s the denying healthcare to women of childbearing age, the mass deportations, the plan to be dictator on day one, all of project 2025, the plan to send the military against leftwingers for disagreeing with Trump, all apart from the simping, fawning and sucking up to every dictator Trump can wheedle an appointment with and who has the nous to realise Trump will love them forever just for calling him clever or strong in public. I used to think that Putin had some compromat on Trump that kept him doing his bidding, but it became painfully obvious that that’s not needed, and Putin just needs to whisper in his ear that he’s a great leader and everyone respects him, and Trump is bought, yes, all that cheaply.
I 100% agree with you on everything in this comment. My only point is that regardless of how badly trump wants to finish the job, Harris certainly doesn’t seem to want to stop it. And as such, she isn’t free from criticism. Moreover she needs to hear more criticism to push her into walking back her support of Israel “defending itself” by retaliating in a wildly disproportionate fashion. And the key time to do it was in the lead up to the election, because if she felt like enough people were upset about it that it could cost her the election, it had a higher chance of making a difference.
It’s possible to believe Trump is an evil piece of shit, but also that Harris needs to improve. Just because she’s the better choice doesn’t mean she’s perfect.
I’ll admit it right now. Not that it matters why Netanyahu is refusing to negotiate.
You seem to be under the impression that “negotiation” means “asking nicely and giving up if they say no.” If Netanyahu refuses to cooperate, you stop giving him weapons until he does. Obviously. How bad do you have to be at negotiating to not realize that?
I’d imagine they have enough munitions and suppliers for it not to matter, and doing so will simply deteriorate relations, causing the US to hold less sway with its one ally in the region.
Nah, that’s too nuanced - just don’t give them guns and they’ll stop.
It doesn’t really matter what you imagine. It’s worked before and I bet it’ll work again. And even if it doesn’t and Israel is entirely independent from the US and totally needs nothing from us… Why is that a reason to supply them. Great they don’t need our shit let’s stop giving it to em.
Hold less sway with an ally… What good is that sway of we can’t stop a genocide with it? Or really slow it down even a pinch? I’d rather people doing genocide don’t like us actually… They’re evil.
“I’d imagine” is American parlance for “most likely” not “I believe it therefore its real” dipshit.
You think Israel is using US munitions on a hand-to-mouth basis? What a braindead take.
Same thing with international politics and diplomacy. How the fuck are you more qualified to speak to it when you have no idea what unintended consequences could happen? Professor Dipshit over here solved the problem with Israel everyone, so pack it in and hope he solves world hunger next.
So you admit that Trump is actively working to prolong the genocide in Gaza and then you ignore that and come straight back with your weird logic that the people who are trying to stop him are culpable and the people trying to get him to kill more gets a pass from you, and you want me to believe you care about Gaza?! You do not, you’re just cynically using it as a political football to try and win the election for stupid, senile and angry old man Donald “finish them” “best king of Israel” Trump.
So you believe that Biden should be completely immune to all criticism no matter what he does so long as he’s not Trump? I should just invent a fantasy world where Biden is perfect the way you do because acknowledging reality might hurt Kamala’s chances? If I was interested in doing that, then I would’ve done it with the beliefs I was raised with, and I’d be a religious conservative. Fortunately, I’m willing to think critically and face reality, instead of putting party above truth, as you seem to be suggesting I do right now. I want no part in any group or political ideology that requires me to lie or ignore the truth.
Keep repeating that conspiracy theory to yourself all you want. Ad hominem is the only response you libs can ever muster. You can’t refute what I actually say, so you just focus on trying to paint me as a secret Trump supporter. Weak.
It’s not ad hominem to point out that all of your criticisms are for the Democrats and you can barely muster half a sentence of admission that trump might not be the savior of Gaza you’re implying, and that your whole argument is politically biased against the Democrats and for the republicans.
If you don’t want to be accused of being a trump supporter, at least make some effort towards even a tiny bit of balance. But no, you can’t do it. For you, any factual criticism of trump and the republicans must be countered by a wall of conspiracy theory about how Biden’s attempts to negotiate peace are secretly war mongering and trump’s open and boastful war mongering is swept under the carpet.

I challenge you to find one thing I have said, at any time, anywhere, that implies that. You are simply lying, and again, attempting to discredit me because you know you can’t address my points.
If you don’t want to be accused of being a trump supporter, at least make some effort towards even a tiny bit of balance.
I respond to what I see. Point me to any Trump supporter on here and I will tell them why they’re wrong. It’s just that the vast majority of people on here, myself included, are quite clear in recognizing Trump as an awful candidate who isn’t worthy of serious consideration at all.
For you, any factual criticism of trump and the republicans must be countered by a wall of conspiracy theory about how Biden’s attempts to negotiate peace
Very rich of you to call my position on that a “conspiracy theory,” when mine is backed by actual facts and yours isn’t. If Biden or Kamala cared at all about stopping the genocide, they could do it in four words: “No aid until withdrawal.” It’s ridiculously easy.
You can not provide any explanation for why they don’t do this. The only thing you can do is completely dismiss any and all criticism of your candidate, the exact same way Trump supporters do.
I have zero loyalty to the Democrats or to the Republicans, I’m quite open to that, yet you keep insisting that I have to demonstrate loyalty to your side or I’m automatically a bad actor. It’s ridiculously tribalistic. This sort of behavior, people brainwashing themselves into ignoring reality, automatically dismissing all criticism, and unthinkingly championing every action of absolute ghouls, and sorting every single individual into one of two camps, is one of the reasons I want nothing to do with either of your backwards parties.
I tell you I hate Trump, you tell me I love Trump, and when I tell Trump supporters I hate Biden or Harris, they tell me I love Biden and Harris, for exactly the same reasons. What a boring, small world you all live in together, where those two perspectives are all that exist. I want nothing of it.
Now go ahead and respond to me without answering my criticisms (since you cannot, since they are objectively correct) and keep focusing on who (you think) I am, rather than what I say.
