    No, what you said was that it doesn’t matter if Palestinians are being genocided only by Israel, or simultaneously by Israel and The USA.

    The latter results in significantly more civilian deaths in Palestine. To you, these lost lives don’t matter, because genocide is apparently equally bad no matter how many people die…

    Which is just to say that “genocide” in your worldview is just a buzzword you use to attack people with, and not an actual atrocity that ought to be opposed.

      That’s what you want me to be saying, not what I’m saying.

      The latter results in significantly more civilian deaths in Palestine.

      This statement keeps being repeated, but it’s simply baseless. Nothing is holding Israel back, they are slaughtering and starving just as many people as they want, right now. And you are arguing for people to accept that.

        No, it’s what you’ve literally actually said. Gaslighting doesn’t work when we have the things you’ve posted in writing.

          Ok, you’ve got to be trolling.

          I’m protesting the slaughter of Palestinians and saying it’s unacceptable and that I’ll never vote for anyone who is pro-genocide. You’re arguing for me to accept it as inevitable that democrats continue supporting genocide. And somehow you think that translates into me holding your pro-genocide position. It’s nonsensical.

          You’re desperate for other people to accept your justification for supporting what’s going on in Gaza, you can’t face how sick that is. You want to believe you’re a moral person, but you’re literally the cowardly towns folk who sees the plumes of smoke from the camps over your village and tells everyone who mentions it to shut up because “it could be worse.”

          Fuck. That. Zero tolerance on genocide.
