Right now there is effectively a ban on Palestinians.

In NO sane world is a ban worse then actual genocide

So it’s your honest belief that Trump will just literally, not “defacto,” ban Palestinian refugees and go no further?

The man who said he would illegally exile American Palestinian supporters? The man whose only comment directly on the genocide is that Israel needs to "finish the problem?"

You think the half cocked, more extreme person who has already called for more brutality to Palestine and Americans who support Palenstine, who is clearly playing politics by not stating his exact concept of a plan for Palestine, is the better answer here?

They saw the rhetoric against Haitians in Ohio and were delighted. There’s no point in attempting to reason with them, unless it is fun.

There are only three kinds of lemmy.ml denizens. The first are MAGA and want Donald to start pogroms in the US. The second are “leftists” who love state capitalism like China or straight-up oligarchical kleptocracy Russia, they want the US to fail so China-style authoritarianism can spread. The third signed up for the wrong instance and will eventually leave when they find out the admins are deathly frightened of facts.

They’re both going to be shit to Palestine because they’re both owned by Zionists. And with an amount of money and weapons that the US is providing to Netanyahu, they are allowing him to finish the problem.

Yes they are. Every single thing that Trump will do to these brutalized people is always minimized, ignored or “both sized” in these threads.

Every example of his brutality is hand waved away to somehow say that “nuh uh, he can’t be worse because then I would have to make a pragmatic choice.”

I mean for fuck sake. He just literally a week ago claimed against all evidence that legal Haitian immigrants were eating American cats and dogs in front of the whole fucking nation, and we are still playing this very stupid game? People want to pretend this evil, racist, vindictive fuck is somehow the right option and still want to argue about this?

By saying Biden is “as bad” they’re effectively saying “Trump is better than IRL Trump” which is an objectively false position. Its effectively a campaign to whitewash Trump’s clearly awful positions.

Its not hard to say “Biden is bad and Trump is worse for Palestine”
