Israel genocide wouldn’t be possible without US unconditional backup.

The US has delivered 90,000 tons of bombs, guns, and other military equipment to Israel since October 7, 2023, to support the genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to numbers from the Israeli Defense Ministry.

The ministry stated that the military equipment has included “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical supplies” and that the US support is “a significant component” in ensuring the Israeli military can continue the slaughter in Gaza.

    We can’t help Ukraine, but we’re determined to help (by contributing to) a literal full blown genocide. I really hate this administration.

    Not only that. Biden violated US and International law to go around Congress to provide some of that…

    Not holding shitty neoliberals accountable for flagrant shit like that only normalizes what trump does and makes idiots think they’re equally bad

    Like. They’re both genocidal assholes, but trump is obviously the worst of the two.

    Giving America the choice between two genocidal assholes tho, almost always results in the worst one winning, because they don’t lose any votes from their base for supporting genocide.

      I’m not disagreeing with the rest of what you said, but I’d not be so sure about this last part

        You think Trump’s voter have an issue with trump supporting the genocide of Palestinians?

        I’m “lucky” to live in a red area, and from what I can see they’re happy anytime someone brown or Muslim is hurt. And ecstatic when they’re killed.

        Their only issue seems to be wanting more death and destruction, not less.

            The “they” refers back to “the worst one”.

            I wasn’t sure if you were trying to say trump wasn’t the worst one, but it seems you just didn’t understand.

            Quick edit:

            The singular “they” has been used since before Shakespeare, unless you’re a highlander it’s older than you are.

          There are some libertarian types who might put up a token objection to medding in foreign conflicts. However, Trump equivocated on foreign policy while Biden and Harris were fully gung ho about getting involved in every conflict everywhere, which allowed Trump to sell himself as more “moderate” on foreign policy (though in reality he’s also a hawk).

          The core of Trump’s base has no problem with it, of course, but they’re always going to vote for him and not every voter Trump replied on to win fits that stereotype.

        And? He actively and gladly hurt/killed hundreds of thousands to quite possibly millions of people in Gaza through the military aid he supplied Israel for their genocide. Biden’s ass cancer can’t kill him fast enough.

        Reagan is also gone now, guess we can’t complain about what he had done either.

        We’ll be dealing with the mess he left for longer than Trump is in office…

        Elections have consequences

        Edit:

        To clarify, are you also just upset at the singular they like the other person was?

        I don’t want to waste any more time on the rightwing pronoun police, so if that’s your problem just say it.

    I cannot — I performatively refuse to — believe that the meaning of « genocide », « fascism » and « nazi » — dogmas that shaped the fundamental beliefs of many generations —would be controversial again.

      I think that the term ‘Nazi’ needs to die.

      These people are not members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, aka Nazis. They are fascists.

      Some of the members of this movement cosplay as Nazis, but they are not Nazis. We call these people, who wear Nazi symbols and glorify the Nazis, neoNazis

      Using the term ‘Nazi’ to describe the fascists taking control of the US Government unnecessarily muddies the discussion on top of being factually incorrect. Words have meaning. Twisting the meaning of words in order to suit your political agenda is irresponsible, at best.

      Call fascists fascists because that’s what they are. Don’t use a term that lets them red herring every conversation by turning it into an argument about the term ‘Nazi’.

        I kinda agree. They are worse than Nazis as they should know better. They soil the memory of their family members that were murdered by Nazis in order to do the same upon others.

          The people of Nazi Germany only halfway understood what was happening, and those who did were thrown in jail if they spoke out. They were told the jews were being rounded up into educational camps.

          We executed the nazis. Wish we could send the neo nazis to 1930 germany.

            I didn’t call them the same thing. It’s very different. They built their home on the suffering of their ancestors. They have claimed absolution and mercy over the suffering they had to endure since the diaspora. They are not Nazi’s, Nazis killed their grandparents. These are Zionist Jews and that nomer should be as foul as nazi.

            So you have misread my comment we are basically in agreement

    Wow it’s almost as though Israel has been our military ally in the region for decades.

    BTW “thanks” for getting Trump elected over Gaza, idiots. Great fucking job - they’re clearly so much better off now, you high-horse riding smug assholes.

      There we another peraon who claim yo care about palestinian while voting for one of the two genocide supporter. I bet you never boycott a single israeli product and didn’t participate to a single protests. I bet you didn’t care about pro palestinian people getting arrested
