    you just didn’t care until it went hot

    Exactly this. It’s astonishing how many people would destroy everything based on an extremely old holy war because the US didn’t suddenly reverse their long established policy when the conflict heats up again.

    The Trumpists are ecstatic how easy it was to flip these morons.

      It’s almost as if many of these people are just virtue signaling or falling for the propoganda. I don’t see any of these same commenters so vocally opposed to any of the other handful atrocities happening around the world, and yet they fail to think the next thought of what will the situation be like if Trump wins?

        Yeah, I think a lot of them are just bad actors, faking left leanings. Paid or otherwise. This one guy posts several times every single day about the war and often lays it all at Biden’s feet. If he’s paid, Putin or whoever it is truly does get their money’s worth with so many posts and comments essentially indirectly supporting trump.

        And if you dare to disagree with their bullshit of course the means you love genocide. Literally have had several commenters use those exact words.

          Are you talking about me? Do you seriously think someone pays me to post rather than me just being a person who is horrified about what’s happening?

            Given that your last post was about Bob Dylan and it was 3 weeks ago, I’m kind of struggling to see where you got the idea I was referring to you. Makes me wonder why you thought that…

              Because this comment chain stems from my reply? Not complicated. But yes my apologies for getting the wrong idea.

                Then you must have not read very carefully. I imagine it’s the “they accuse people of ‘loving genocide’” part you were focused on?

      I would never vote Trump. “Morons” for having criticism of a president supplying weapons that have killed over 10k children?

      These centrist democrats are ecstatic how a substantial number of their voters have no standards whatsoever and will defend anything as long as it keeps Trump out.

      Downvote all you want. If you can’t criticise Biden for this you’re a piece of shit

        I don’t need to “criticize Biden”. That isn’t what’s happening anyhow. What’s happening is that people are pretending Biden is the one doing this and threatening to destroy the United States if he doesn’t stop the thing which he is not doing. Sending Israel money is a fuck of a lot older than his presidency.

          Just because it’s been happening for a while doesn’t make it right.

          Why was Rafah a red line until all of a sudden it wasn’t? Because he knows it’s morally wrong and will lead to a lot of death but is too much of a coward to stand up for what he believes.

            Just because it’s been happening for a while doesn’t make it right.

            Just because you care about it now doesn’t suddenly make it more important than every concern, including preventing it from getting far worse.

              I cared the whole time.

              Honestly as someone who isn’t American, this is more important to me than economic policy or whatever. I want Biden to win, Trump winning would be awful for everyone, basically worldwide. But most of all I want the kids to stop dying. I really don’t think this is so unreasonable.

              Trump won’t be convinced. Biden might be. And this “less important” issue could still cost him swing states. I think maybe not supporting a genocide could be a vote winner.

                If you’re going around defending third party votes then you are doing a pretty horrifically bad job of helping Palestinians

                  Well if you’re going around making up what people are saying then you’re doing a pretty horrifically bad job of having a conversation.

                  Where did I defend third party votes? NOWHERE
