Why are you telling me about empty words being said when i am showing you concrete, physical facilitation of the killing Israel has been committing??

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because Democrats are trying to rein in Netanyahu. Republicans are trying to make him go farther. You really don't see the difference?

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

some portion of democrats are telling you they're trying to rein in Netanyahu, because it's going terribly for them politically. In practice, the only things they have actively done is send him more weapons to kill more Gazans with. That's it.

It always comes down to conspiracy theories with you people. "They SAY they want to stop the genocide but what they REALLY want is more genocide". If I throw enough facts that contradict your story, you'll start abandoning facts.

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

this is a new one, I've never seen someone try to argue something someone has said is proof they're not lying about what they're saying. I dont think you care about facts but here's some more to throw on https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/06/us-weapons-israel-gaza/

I'm saying it's impossible to prove they're not lying, that's what makes it a conspiracy theory.

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've been proving they're lying. Jeez even if we didnt live in a cartoon world where democrats are actively sending bombs for Israel to use on more Gaza civilians, they'd still be lying because they are saying they are going to do something, and we can see that they havent done it!

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because your definition of "do something" is always "do more than what you can accomplish with the numbers we give you". That's why it's impossible to prove - how ever much they do, you'll say it's nothing.

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

they've been accomplishing quite a lot! I've been showing you their accomplishments, you've been ignoring all of them.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Ok. Name 3 good things Democrats have done.
