Harris, if you’re listening… Your position on this issue is very unpopular.

Yes but money speaks more and louder in politics rather than votes.

There are deeper root causes for the political class’ dedication to Israel to the point of genocide. While I suppose capitalist class dictatorship could be euphemistically referred to as money, the political class true believers in the project like Genocide Joe and by extension his lockstep veep, see a strategic value in Israel’s constant violence as a European settler colony. Biden even had a famous quote about the need for an Israel, it is about American domination of the entire region to control the petrodollar and disrupt a locus of national independence.

These are cynical people, not simply sellouts. They think genocide is worth it. They also want your vote so they do some kabuki, present the half-assed aesthetic that they care about “ceasefire” while maintaining intense material support for the genocide. They are banking on their electorate being accepting of genocide.

No, that’s why people subscribed to the duopoly have no prob. supporting genocide.

Ok, so her stance in the current conflict is not worse than Trump’s?

Effectively making it pointless at best to bring up now, at worst it will stop people voting for her and the world will have to deal with Trump and his lackeys for another 4 years.

Focus on getting Harris in office, then focus on changing her attitude in the conflict.

I am sorry but that is the only way to do it.

I may not be American, but even I can see that while you might sway Harris on the issue, there is zero chance swaying Trump about anything other than being worse:

Yes, I am glad you keep up.

I don’t believe we can afford Trump to win another term, and no, I am not blind to Harris’ issues either, but this is like comparing a fully rotten and moldy apple with a normal apple that happens to have bad bump on it.

““He’s doing a good job,” Trump said about the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that [Netanyahu] decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

I still find it strange and suspicious that everyone here refers to the war in Gaza as genocide.

And that the genocide in Yemen is attributed to US and not to Iran. And that the genocide in Syria by Iran and Russia is never mentioned.

I wonder if you’ll are Iranian Chinese Russian propaganda agents or whether some of you are truly that far gone

You think it’s suspicious to describe the forcible removal of a mostly civilian population from an area as a genocide? Why? Are you stupid???

The intentional killing or displacement of a population is exactly what “genocide” means.

Or you’re just not very smart. That is also a possibility.
