Lemmy: bOth PArTiES ARE zIoniSt gEnociDERS!
To hear the tankies on Lemmy:
OnLy DEmoCraTs aRe ZiOnisT GeNOCiderS! VotE fOr RepUBLicaNs!
The amount of intellectual dishonesty I hear out of tankies is insane. The second you call them out, they ban you and delete your comments.
Literally anyone holding Harris’s feet to the fire right now of all moments, when the outcome of the election depends on it. You win the election first, you moderate your demands until then, and then you raise the volume on your calls for change.
Because only one of those two candidates has quite literally suggested arresting and deporting ALL protesters. Undermining the only person who can prevent him from getting to the office that would enable that shit is just as bad if not worse than actually just quietly voting for him.
Can you give me an example of this? It’s so ubiquitous it can be generalized, so surely it will be easy!
It’s in nearly every single thread they are present in. They constantly attack Harris, and never mention Trump’s stance.
“if you don’t vote for the good genocider, the bad genocider will get into office. And he is RUDE!”
What fucking tankies are you listening to? Brother I’m tankie as shit and we don’t support Trump, we merely point out the uncomfortable truth that on this issue there is no meaningful difference between the Dems and the Reps, and so anyone voting for them is a genocide supporter.
They both are objectively Zionist genocide supporters. The only difference is the tone of their rhetoric, the children will die all the same.
says who?
Is the only “non zionist genocide supporter” position that israel needs to cease existence tomorrow?
According to tankies, the only “non-zionist genocide supporter” position is actually the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Jews.
Even if that were true, there’s a value proposition to work through here. Like most sane people, I typically prioritize my own children and the children of people I know over people in a country on the other side of the planet I will never interact with and whose fate will never affect in the slightest. That’s just basic triage.
This is not to say I don’t care about them, but looking at it from a purely pragmatic stance, it’s not an issue that’s going to change my position am inch on who to vote for in this election.
All these people are convinced that Trump would be worse for Palestinians.
And maybe they’re right, maybe Trump will send in straight up death squads. Maybe he’ll build vans that pipe the exhaust into the cargo area and ship them to tel Aviv. Maybe he’ll start sending the Israelis Zyclon b.
But the fact remains. The last year has been the most deadly for Palestinians. Ever. More Palestinians have been killed in the last year than died during the formation of the state of Israel. More Palestinians have had their homes destroyed in the last year, then ever before in modern history.
At this point, saying Trump would be worse for Palestine is like saying that Himmler would have been worse for the Jews. Possibly technically correct, but also a poor attempted genocide denial.
Trump feels the only thing Israel is doing wrong is not killing Palestinians fast enough.

Worse, if Trump wins, he will bring the worst Israeli policies to the United States.
- He will take Israel’s policy of illegally invading Lebanon as a “security zone” and apply it to Mexico:

- He will set up internment camps in the United States for immigrants and others classed as “undesirable”:
- He will purge the government of any and all opposition:
- He wants to arrest journalists:

To be clear here, if Harris does not win, Trump will. Those are your two choices. You can choose to vote for Harris or you court disaster. There is no viable 3rd choice.
Ok.
More Palestinians killed than in 1948. But, we can’t criticize the administration committing a holocaust, we can’t say anything negative about Hitler because “Himmler would be even worse”
I still remember when you shitlibs said “WHATABOUTISM” was bad, now you use it unironically to defend ethnic cleansing.
you realize trump genuinely considered using a nuclear bomb during his office term right?
What do you mean “he might be worse”
But the fact remains. The last year has been the most deadly for Palestinians. Ever.
also i feel like there was probably at least one famine that killed significantly more people at one point in history.
Not only considered using a nuke, but wanted to use a nuke to put out a hurricane…

If Donald Trump had the faintest fucking clue what any of that was he would be getting very excited…
Thank goodness it looks like he will lose.
Now, can we talk about the current administration enabling, supporting, and funding the worst ethnic cleansing the middle east has seen in centuries?
Hey, I wonder despite all that if Hamas regrets Oct. 7th?. [checks news] Nope.
Gaza was am open air prison before the October 7th attacks. Prisoners might have a bad time after a prison riot, but such actions dont happen without context.
Al-Aqsa flood was a fully legitimate and legal attack against an occupying force. You might as well ask the Polish Jews if they regret the Warsaw Uprising.
At this point, saying Trump would be worse for Palestine is like saying that Himmler would have been worse for the Jews. Possibly technically correct, but also a poor attempted genocide denial.
More have died and more have been made refugees, in the last year; than during the Nakba. This has been the deadliest year for Palestinians, by an order of magnatude, in modern history.
So take your “Trump would be worse” bullshit. Wrap it in sandpaper. And shove it up your ass.
So we agree: both sides of this election support the ongoing genocide being committed by Israel.
