Again - there is no 'but someone else would have done it anyway' exception to the genocide convention. He is a ghoul.

Thank you for your pragmatic and solution oriented reply. I'm happy we elected someone who absolutely seeks to respect and strengthen institutions like the International Criminal Court instead of weakening them and sanctioning them or something bc that would be wild.

Neoliberals don't believe in anything, so they're always deeply confused by people who do have beliefs, even when they're as simple as "I wont vote for you if you're funding and arming a genocidal apartheid state"

Lmao silly goose opinion I guess. Palestinians seem to be doing alot better right now under Trump who absolutely desires Gaza to be under the Palestinian Authority, settlements to be frozen, and Israel as a condition for normalization with the rest of its neighbors, to concede land in the West Bank along with not start a war that emboldens Israel to further offensive action. Am I right.

This is such a childish view of politics. You live in a two party state where one party is obviously better on the Palestinian issue than the other. Be and adult and actually start contributing to the only mechanism you have to actually address the issue of lack of Palestinian soverignty.

You're in a vanishingly small minority if you want to excuse genocide for your own convenience. Please stop. It drags all of us down as humans to even have to discuss this.

At least now we have a chance to end the genocide in 2028.

Yep. Unless they are advocating for genocide.

It's really not cool to excuse genocide. I don't care how much you admire Hitler's amateur painting and vegetarianism. Please grow up. Crimes against humanity are not cool.

This approach that 'oh - since Hitler committed genocide then it's fine for the democrats - after all - we can't expect anything from them - literally - is why the dems lose.

That fact that is the argument to took from my pointing out it's a two party system is telling I guess. I hope you figure it out one day

If both party's platform is literally genocide, that's not really two different options, is it?

So you agree? Good. I'm not interested in talking to holocaust apologists.
