Tankies and MAGA. An unholy alliance that benefits Trump.
Tankies are anyone who prioritizes ending material support for genocide? Call me a tankie if it makes you feel better, then. The thing is, it's not my "single issue", but it is at the top of the fucking list, yes. The bar literally doesn't get any lower.
I'm sure Gaza appreciates the moral superiority instead of votes that can prevent an actual genocidal president. But you do you.
Well, the former US ambassador to Israel recently declared in an interview that killing children is okay, because they are Hamas children and Israel said so.
Also the former Biden team admitted that they deliberately lied about Israel sabotaging any ceasefire attempt and instead lying blamed it on Hamas, all while providing further arms shipments, without which the Genocide would have been over within a few weeks.
They justified this with the claim that it wouldn't have helped Israel, so the goal was always clear. The Democratic presidency under Biden was in full support of the genocide. Unlike Trump they merely cared about creating a slight appearance otherwise, but they have been salivating at the continued slaughter of women and children, the ethnic cleansing, the deliberate starvation, the rape and torture of Palestinians taken hostage by Israel.
By punishing them for supporting Genocide at least there was a chance that the party would reform as it identifies Genocide as a loosing issue. However now we see that supporting Genocide is more important to them even than preventing Trumps full takeover. This only leads to one conclusion. They are not only pro Genocide, they are also pro Fascist dictatorship.
Doesn't change the fact that support of Trump through non voting or protest voting ensured their extinction.
Prevent? I thought the lib line was that "genocide wasn't on the ballot".
You have no moral. Palestinians want a president that will stop sending billions to israel and provide diplomatic cover
Palestinians should want a lot of things. Peace. No Hamas. Israel not participating in genocide. Not trying cause uprisings in Lebanon and Egypt.
Minor things.
They want to end of occupation , an army to defend itself against both hamas and future israeli attemps to take over all their land.
Things that you refuse to acknowledge that both usa cults refuse to grant palestinians their self determination and right to self defence since thw terrorist state creation
You ignored the Egypt and Lebanon part. Or the pro Palestinians sabotaging Ukrainian trucks or recently the pro Palestinians causing the cancellation of an LGBTQ event in Canada.
Yeah. Not helping support here.
That justify supporting a genocidal state for you and deflection democrats complicity? You think all anti palestine occupation hate ukranians? You don't think there is many pro israel ukranians just like there is many pro palestine ukraniains an vice versa? We can all cherry pick stuffs like ukraine absorbing some neo nazis?

Yet i would never justify russian invasion and genocide unlike you deflecting from israel final solution and usa both parties complicity
I also always call out arab countries complicity with israel in posts related to arabs countries involvment in the middle east
Still didn't answer my points.
And it doesn't matter at this point. The chance to do something, even menially, passed on 11/5/24.
I did answer all your points. You just ignored them all become you want to portray all palestinians as pro russia deflecting from the fact that it is israel, russia and the usa the big bad guys not anti genocide anti occupation in palestine people
More like worldwide complicity. I'm not even going to ignore the USA is the bad guy at this point. Netanyahu is only acting big and bad because we allow it. And we allow it because of a bullshit evangelical belief in a big battle at Mt. Meggido causing Jesus to return.
Yeah, genocide for a "prophecy."
There is 3 types of israeli occupation and genocide supporters
Those strictly for personal interests or ego (trump, most aipac politicians)
Those for religious reasons the evangelicals like you mentionned
And those for usa imperialism (biden)
At the end no matter what the person reason to support it , it is bad and condemnable and should be protested
