Interesting. Most liberals I know already agree with that sentiment without having to be told.
It’s true not all liberals support this, but I’ve certainly seen a fair number hand-waving Biden’s vocal support of this genocidal state as if it’s no big deal.
Edit: “Fascism is good, actually.” -liberals
It’s not that it’s “not a big deal.” It’s that he’s still the better of the two realistic possibilities. No Republican running for president will be harder on Israel than Biden is being (which is, admittedly, in no way hard), and they are all far worse on other metrics important to the left.
I remember Democrats telling me that the strategy was to elect Biden and then “hold his feet to the fire”. When did that happen?
But that’s another hand-waving deflection. When can we discuss the deeply problematic words and actions of our current president without establishment liberals popping out of wells to tell us he’s not as bad as Republicans? He’s still doing and supporting some unacceptably fucked up shit.
We can do that once the threat of right wing extremism is not so imminent. We lashed out at Hillary and got Trump. Now women can’t get abortions without dying first. Corporations have their record profits and record tax breaks. We don’t want another four years of constant stress
Lol. Do you really think that Trump became president because the Left critizized Clinton too much?
It surely didn’t help. At this point I don’t think people can be blamed for being spooked and leery of anything that might help Trump.
You raise a good point, and just as a disclaimer I’m not American, but I feel like there’s space for a) voting and campaigning for the democratic candidate, while also b) decrying your poverty of choice in the matter.
But maybe the stakes are just so existential (clearly), that any disent has to take a backseat to just getting the less shitty party in power.
You mean the threat that he has basically only delayed? That as a party, historically, the democrats have only ever delayed because their shitty centrist candidates do nothing to progress beyond; leading to an America that is on the brink of fascism?
You should probably retire that macro… it’s getting a little musty.
We can do that once the threat of right wing extremism is not so imminent
Is exactly the kind of attitude that results in the kind of right wing democrats that gave the extreme right wing enough leeway to take over the GOP rather than be shunned by society like they were before the DNC and their media arm elevated Trump.
The right wing extremism will always be imminent. It’s like a show that ends every episode on a cliffhanger to try to keep audiences watching. Hillary gave us Trump: https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/
Then she positioned herself as the only solution. It’s funny when people say “OMG HILLARY WAS RIGHT” yeah, of course she could tell the outcome of a situation she was key in creating. She wanted that presidency and she was willing to promote fascists to get there. Vote for her or die. This is basically the only democrat strategy now. I’m going to keep voting for democrats anyway because our system has no real choice, but don’t use this situation to shield democrats from criticism, they deserve plenty of it.
It’s funny when people say “OMG HILLARY WAS RIGHT” yeah, of course she could tell the outcome of a situation she was key in creating.
That’s s stupid comment regardless of which candidate or election you’re taking about. “Hillary warned us about Trump!” Of course she did. She was running against Trump! She would’ve warned us about her opponent regardless of who it was. In fact, if she didn’t do that, she would be a shitty campaigner.
You know who else Hillary warned us about? Bernie Sanders!
This is all 100%.
Criticizing them doesn’t matter though. They’re still happy and rich if they lose.
The fight won’t be small jabs, it will be big and all at once
I’m going to keep voting for democrats anyway because our system has no real choice
Yeah… people are quick to point out that Republicans can’t win elections without massive voter repression - but they never admit that Democrats can’t win without literally threatening everyone with the other side’s fascism, either.
It’s been that way ever since the Obama betrayal - and that’s not something corporate liberalism will ever deserve forgiveness for.
they never admit that Democrats can’t win without literally threatening everyone with the other side’s fascism…
That’s some absurd reasoning. “pointing out how the GOP are literally acting like fascists is the stupid Democrats fault”.
Get the fuck out of here.
It’s been that way ever since the Obama betrayal
It was that way during the 2004 Bush v. Kerry election and probably the 2000 Bush v. Gore election, too. (I don’t remember much about 2000 because I wasn’t really paying attention to politics yet.) And it probably goes back even further than that.
You know all of the rhetoric used against Trump? They were saying all of the same things about W. Bush.
Eat a bag of dicks. I’m not going to shut up about genocide because you’re afraid of losing an election.
It’s coming from a place of privilege to think we can wait until then. It’s coming from a position in which you can stand back and look at everything through the lens of a campaign rather than being deeply hurt by his policies. People in the border camps need to be freed NOW. We need to give the land back NOW. Israel needs to stop committing genocide NOW.
I’m sorry if it causes you “constant stress” to think about this. I’m sure other people’s pain and suffering is so hard for you to bear, but we need to talk about this. We need to somehow stop Biden and his party from continuing to support and bolster these atrocities.
Wow you assume a LOT
Yep, and all based on experience with US liberals
And voting for Trump or DeSantis or Halley is going to do what, exactly, to help?
Here’s another thing you do that really pushes people away: No one said a damn thing about voting Trump, or DeSantis, or anyone else.
In fact, I don’t think I even mentioned voting at all.
Who’s president right now? Let’s talk about him. We need to be able to demand he cease his genocidal actions without having people like you constantly deflecting criticism with this pointless whataboutism. It’s as pointless as it is exhausting.
You are badly confused in your vision of what’s possible.
OK. I’ll be that vs. someone who excuses atrocoties like fascism and genocide. I’ll be that vs. someone who clothes their speech in tolerance while building camps and walls at the border.
That’s still much better than what you are.
Lol, Biden himself has admired that there are 50 other democrats that could also beat trump.
So try again there, bub.
At least 40 of which would probably be more likely to than himself.
Yup.
Liberals: “Jeez this genocide is detestable for what it’s doing to Biden’s polling.”
It’s all a sick game to them. It’s always about the polls and the next election. Sometimes I feel like they’re incapable of any actual genuine empathy.
It’s always about the polls and the next election.
Isn’t that what democracy is supposed to do? The elected leader should follow the will of the people. If the people are saying do X, the leader should do X despite his personal preference.
I’m referring to people who shield the current president from criticism of his genocidal practices by arguing that if we talk about these deeply disturbing things he’s supporting and doing, it will somehow hurt his chances in the next election. Literally no consideration or empathy for the people being harmed by his actions – just “well, he needs to win the next election.” Extremely deranged.
If the people are saying do X, the leader should do X despite his personal preference
No. If the people are calling for genocidal or colonial practices, then no. You are using the same logic people would use to defend the anti-trans and anti-POC laws my own state has passed. The majority here may support them, but this does not mean they are immune to criticism, nor should they be. It’s really anti-human and anti-progress to think otherwise.
Edit: I want people to really read this user’s comments to me right here. This right here is the brainrot that privileged liberals bring to the table. Absolutely appalling behavior by this person.
Shielding biden
Yeah, no ones doing that. Maybe some fringe morons but liberals don’t worship their elected leaders
This doesn’t seem correct. Any criticism of a Democrat immediately elicits defensiveness and wild accusations of supporting Trump. I’m starting to think they’re incapable of actual empathy. Imagine defending something like ICE or Israel.
If the people are calling for genocidal or colonial practices, then no.
A just dictator is the best government. But that’s not democracy. Many people are bad. We can only hope that a majority are good.
While you talk about from a distance in terms of political theory, we have people suffering under Biden’s leadership. It’s people like you who enable these atrocities. It’s all a sick game to you…
I think a lot of people are just frustrated by the religious extremism which drives the conflict.
Yet the guy who says this shit is the liberal choice for president: “Folks, were there no Israel, there wouldn’t be a Jew in the world that was safe.”
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-alludes-disagreements-with-israels-netanyahu-2023-12-12/
That comes with the boldest admission I’ve ever seen, that we as the entire rest of the world are uniformly unwilling to stand by and protect the Jewish people in our communities and countries. Fuck that. No, we must protect our Jewish neighbors, we must be willing to take in Jewish refugees of antisemitism. We must take it upon ourselves be the place where Jews are safe. Saying Israel is the source of Jewish safety is a fucking cop out and it’s a disgusting one at that.
But if past performance is any indication, it’s also true.
There are lots of marginalized groups that do not have the benefit of having a homeland country that are continuing to survive. Maybe we were more barbaric in the past, and there’s certainly still antisemitism to root out, but I don’t agree with the take that countries couldn’t protect their own Jewish populations.
There are no other groups that had 2/3rds of their population in Europe and almost half their worldwide population systemically murdered, while the world refused ships full of Jews and had hard quotas on how many Jews were allowed in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis
Should these countries protect their population? Yes. Did they? Maybe their own. But they sure didn’t protect Jews in the rest of Europe. Did the US have a duty to protect German citizens? Do we today? What has actually changed?
What total horse shit. Mark Zuckerberg’s safety is in no way conditioned on the existence of Israel.
But Biden isn’t a liberal (in conventional US usage anyway) and I doubt he’d describe himself as one. He’s an establishment centrist if there ever was one.
He’s a neoliberal Clintonite. He’s in the most right wing part of even that right wing form of liberalism, but still a neoliberal, which is the DNC default kind of liberalism and has been since 1992.
this is another meme using the European/PolSci definition of Liberals, meaning classic/neoliberal, as in ‘capitalists’. Definitely confusing and generally wrong in a modern US context.
Not necessarily. It’s genocide because they’re being specifically targeted for their race, religion, ethnic group, or other genetic or cultural characteristics. Which they absolutely are. If you lock the doors at rock concerts and kill everyone in attendance it’s just mass murder.
It’s genocide because their culture is slowly getting wiped out. Genocide happens not only in the giant open air concentration camp called Gaza, but also in the West Bank, where the Palestinians are supposedly living in peace with the Israelis. Check out Anna Baltzers documentary about her experience in the West Bank. She went there as a sceptic upon hearing from friends about gruesome stories of how the Israelis treat Palestinians.
Video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_MDC2Gty4I&si=DWDaLQmvkl2Tv27a
“just” feels weird here, idk why
Imo the just feels weird because mass murder shouldn’t be a “just”. It should be somewhat near a penultimate, but compared to genocide…
Genocide = mass murder + the attempt to wipeout a characteristic people.
So “just” mass murder could be considered one step less worse than genocide.
No disagreement at all, still feels like we shouldn’t be applying that word to something so severe.
Religion is just an excuse to get people on board. This is a territory war, religion is just the thing dividing the two sides, but this is not about religion or race, this is about land and power.
Is subculture not a form of culture?
It’s not a genocide because there’s no attempt to eradicate a whole people.
to add further. muslims are not a race.
?!
That’s illegal to say.

Israel I’m sure would love it if all the Palestinians they couldn’t kill were forced into Egypt.
Your point presumes Palestinians SHOULD cede Gaza to Israel to escape being killed.

Not at all. In fact, far from being risky, it’s the received wisdom here on Lemmy. I will get far more downvotes for merely questioning the framing of it as a genocide than will OP.
That’s because genocide denial is usually frowned upon by people with fully functioning brains.
deleted by creator
Israel left Gaza
Not even right-wing shills like the Washington Post tries to peddle this bullcrap any more.
Let’s see how long this works for you, eh?
That is not a genocide.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - I assume you have some?
I can’t believe the Israeli government of all entities drank the fascist Kool-Aid.
They went aggressive defense, after the effects of WW2. They built an impressive machine to both keep themselves safe (by all means necessary) and hunt down Nazis who fled into hiding.
Unfortunately, they ran out of targets, on the nazi front, and really pissed off their neighbours. Rather than risk de-escalating, they’ve gone all-in.
The intergenerational changeover, and the political games that entailed lead to the current situation.
Stare too long into the abyss, and the abyss will stare back into you.
and hunt down Nazis who fled into hiding.
Give it a break. One of Israel’s staunchest allies since the start was West Germany - which enthusiastically co-operated with Israel while Israel was fully aware that it’s intelligence services were jam-packed with nazis. Israel only hunted the nazis that were convenient to hunt.
Birds of a feather and all that.
The ones working for west Germany, as well as America weren’t hiding, they were useful. Their targets were the one who were useless alive for anything other than getting revenge against.
The key is they had a good excuse to build a highly effective surveillance and infiltration system. It also was/is skilled at getting their hands dirty on foreign soil, while keeping the mess contained. At the time, they have a worthy target. As time went on, the number of targets dropped. The system in place was then turned to other uses.
I always see historical fallacy being used to suit their own biases and frankly I am getting tired of it. While many Nazis and collaborators weren’t prosecuted, and they should have been, did West Germany still have laws prosecuting Jews and other minorities after the war? The fact that you will be prosecuted for doing Nazi salutes and symbols in Germany says a lot. Post-war Germany is not the same as Nazi Germany as evidence show, for crying out loud.
I know Lemmy is as left leaning as Reddit, but as a left leaning minority myself, these shoehorning and virtue signaling from the left is cringey af.
did West Germany still have laws prosecuting Jews and other minorities after the war?
Funny you should mention that…
After the war, discrimination against Roma continued all over Europe. The courts in the Federal Republic of Germany determined that all measures taken against Roma before 1943 were legitimate official measures against persons committing criminal acts, not the result of policy driven by racial prejudice. This decision effectively closed the door to restitution for thousands of Roma victims, who had been incarcerated, forcibly sterilized, and deported out of Germany for no specific crime. The postwar police authorities took over the research files of the Nazi regime, including the registry of Roma who had resided in the Greater German Reich, and police harassment and discrimination continued.
Only in late 1965 did the West German compensation law explicitly acknowledge that the acts of persecution that took place before 1943 were racially motivated, creating eligibility for most Roma to apply for compensation for their suffering and loss under the Nazi regime. By this time, many of those who became eligible had already died. In March 1982 Federal Chancellor, Helmut Schmidt, formally stated that German Roma had been victims of genocide.
I guess it’s true what they say… underneath the liberal 1st world pretensions it’s still the same old Europe.
Let’s be clear on one thing… the nazis were not some “aberration” - the predatory and parasitic socio-economic systems that enabled and nurtured them is still very much alive and kicking in (so-called) “western civilization.”
Interesting, I hadn’t realised that. Thanks for sharing. It did take a long time for Germany to come to terms with their past. It was the children and grandchildren of the war generation who fully acknowledges and admit of the atrocities. But even so, that hasn’t really got to do with Germany somehow influencing Israeli state’s policies, unless there is evidence to show for.
It did take a long time for Germany to come to terms with their past.
Have they?
Germany is still controlled by the same kind of capitalists that funded the nazis to protect them from working-class revolt. Germany is still controlled by the same kind of politicians that gave up power to the nazis out of political expediency. Germany went from being a fascist state to enabling another pretty darn obvious one - Israel.
No, I think Germany has no more “come to terms with it’s past” than any other colonizer state.
But even so, that hasn’t really got to do with Germany somehow influencing Israeli
Germany aiding and abetting a genocidal white supremacist settler-colonial state has got nothing to do with this?
Nothing at all, eh?

Another leftist overreaching and attribution bias that make my eyes roll everytime. Just because a society is capitalist it doesn’t mean they’re Nazis. Norway and Denmark are capitalists albeit have very strong social protections and regulations. Germany is similar. Fascism has a specific meaning than just “capitalist”. Just because you don’t like something, you just can’t call it “fascist.” Germany isn’t perfect but by no means they are still Nazis or fascists. They accepted refugees en masse, second to Sweden. How does that sound like Nazi to you?
Germany aiding and abetting a genocidal white supremacist settler-colonial state has got nothing to do with this?
And this is another case of oversimplifying complex issues and requires a lot of unpacking. It’s a chicken or egg scenario. There are those who agreed to the creation of Israeli state, but then there are those who hasn’t-- which led to the conflict as it were now. Israel did not start as a fascist state-- they have been ruled by a left-wing party in the first half of their existence. But tensions and refusal by Arab states to recognise Israel put Israelis into a siege mentality. This created a cycle of violence as Israel turned to become more vengeful and right-wing due to the past conflicts and invasion. Eventually, and at the very least, Arab states came to terms that Israel is here to stay. However, more radical Muslim Arab paramilitary factions are still prodding Israel. The latest of that prodding is from Hamas.
Now, of course, as the UN secretary general said, Hamas violence did not start in a vacuum. Israel had been treating Palestinians as second class citizens. But it’s also because Israel have developed a siege mentality for aforementioned reasons, which they retaliate in return but also makes Palestinians seek vengeance in return as well. And the cycle of revanchism continues. “An eye of an eye makes us all blind”, and that is precisely what is happening. This, however, does not excuse Hamas attack on October 7, nor Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.
However, even with all that, Israel is still far from being a fascist in spite of the military supremacy in the region. Being far-right or right-wing does not mean they’re fascist. They still have election and Netanyahu’s party is actually unpopular and clings dearly to forming coalitions. Israel is still open to negotiations and as a matter of fact-- before the Hamas attack in October 7, there was meant to be a deal to be signed between Saudi and Israel for closer cooperation in exchange to unequivocally giving up occupied settlements in West Bank. But Hamas derailed that at the last minute with their attack. I bet you did not hear that? That being said, Israel is far from being a fascist because they still allow elections and decorum (until debatably recently which I will get to that later). Fascists don’t do that as they would limit free and fair elections. Fascism has more specific criteria than just being capitalist or anything you don’t like. I suggest you read on Umberto Eco’s 14 characteristics of fascism instead of just throwing labels.
While I do not agree with providing Israel more aid (they received more than enough in all these years), attributing Germany as still “nazi” or “fascist” simply because they help Israel does not make Germany “fascist”. And by the way, the FT article you linked is one month and a half old, before Israel’s fascistic behaviour in invading Gaza strip. So, Germany gave aid to Israel before the invasion of Gaza so they could not have known how Israel would do. This does not make Germany fascist. You could accuse these countries too as fascist for supporting Israel for being invaded. Throwing labels willy nilly on something you don’t like and don’t know the meaning, dilutes the meaning and significance of the term. It’s not intellectually productive and is lazy. This is what Slavoj Zizek have railed against with liberals and left just throwing buzzwords.
The trick is to wait until the abyss stares back, and to smile at it.
EDIT: My bad, I thought this was from another Israel Palestine thread I roped myself into.
I feel bad for everyone involved though.
Depressingly, that sums up what the Israeli intelligence/security did.
That tactic, sadly, seems to work. Worked for Russia too. Not a moral prescriptive observation, but a descriptive one.
The whole point of the state of Israel is to have an ethnostate - at the minimum, apartheid, at the maximum, genocide - which is why there is a huge split among Jewish people worldwide as to whether or not be Zionists.
They drank that particular strain of Kool-Aid back in 1949.
Welcome to 1995. You’ll catch up.
Funny. I looked at my calendar and thought it was 1356 with the way you all are talking and acting.
You’ll learn to take a step back and view situations objectively one day, far in the future, when you grow up. Perhaps 2095.
Thou hast a pickled cabbage for a brain, you poxxed simpleton.
Fucking retard. 🤦🤡
Yeah, it’s gonna take a lot longer for you to grow up than I thought.
Have fun inhaling the fumes from your clown makeup though. Goes a long way toward explaining why you think the way you do.
Lol. fucking pedo. You’re such a creepy molester.
Also, liberals… Israel has been doing it since 1949.
This meme was made in Gimp! I’d recognize that centered drop shadow anywhere!
Wait what liberals are saying that it isn’t genocide???
No, lol
I like this red - green allience
They all read they one same damn bookRemoved by mod
It’s not “large numbers of civilian casualties”
It’s “the VAST majority of deaths are innocent civilians”. It’s like if Texas kidnapped 5 random citizens to kill every time someone was given the death sentence. Would you say that’s acceptable because it’s just “collateral damage”?
This is by design on the part of Hamas though. It doesn’t excuse the situation, but it does make it more complicated especially with regard to intent, which has to matter when considering charges of genocide.
Oh yeah, I totally believe that Hamas is planning where Israel drops their thousands of bombs, and not an AI named ‘The Gospel’
It’s all Hamas’ fault. Everything. Israel is totally innocent of their countless of war crimes
I don’t know that one negative makes the other right. They can both be culpable of fabricating this situation to feed larger interests. IDF is reeling in Bibi’s dirty war and Hamas is Iran’s puppet to destabilize the region. They are all shitheads, as history had shown. I don’t know why leftys have coraled around defending Hamas when it’s the Palestinian people suffering the brunt of their actions.
Oh, look… the White Supremacism Fan Brigade is blaming genocide on the victims of genocide again.
Of course, the liberals who run Lemmy.world will ban me if I call you a fascist or a white supremacist… because reasons.
You don’t think two things can be true at the same time? Hamas absolutely are using human shield tactics, and have been for as long as they’ve been in existence. There are articles on the Internet showing how and why they do this years back.
AND at the same time, Israel is using that fact to bomb much more indiscriminately than they could be.
Mate if they orchestrated a complete mass murder in an instant, absolutely no one would be able to defend it. This way, people get to just say “well, it’s war”.
Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
It’s a genocide. Your point is they could probably be more efficient and obvious about the civilian murder. Therefore, it’s not a genocide.
Your point is moronic.
I think their point is that: of course it’s not the intention to wipe them out, because if it was, it would already have been done on Oct 8th. Which isn’t a terrible argument.
Hamas has stated it wants to genocide Israel, and their actions match that. Indiscriminate rocket fire, suicide bombing, invading etc. essentially everything they can do.
By contrast Israel has not (officially) said they want to genocide Palestine, and they aren’t using even a fraction of the weapons at their disposal. Personally, I see their actions more as angry and sloppy. What’s the alternative, that they’re going to kill hundreds of people a day for the next years? That’s ridiculous.
of course it’s not the intention to wipe them out, because if it was, it would already have been done on Oct 8th.
…
Unless they wanted to commit a genocide while maintaining just enough plausible deniability to have people like you and I debating their intentions while it happens.
In which case it would look… exactly how it looks. Crazy, that.
You could say that about literally every war
All of these posts are so weird to me about arguing that Israel is commiting genocide. No one seems to mention or care that over and over again Hamas has admitted and encouraged genocide against Israel. But they’re smaller so I guess it’s okay?
One is a terrorist group. The other famously self-describes as “the only democracy in the Middle East”.
Do you really think we should have equal expectations?
Right. Because if their goal was to wipe out all Palestinians, they would of course put all of their efforts and resources towards that without letting international politics affect what they do and how they do it… /s
“Everyone warcrimes actually” is a pretty weak take.
And Nazi Germany could have used poison gas to clear the western USSR of it’s population so much faster - so I guess there was nothing genocidal about Nazi Germany, eh apologist?
Oooo, now do Ukraine
Aren’t the Ruskies the ones invading them and kidnapping their children and such?
Exactly. “Leftists” refuse to acknowledge that Russia is doing genocide in Ukraine.
We do?
Not necessarily, definitely not generally. But the party “Die Linke” in Germany ( basically translates to the left/leftists) has some strongly russophilic currents. I’d wager that’s the case in more countries than just Germany.
I don’t really think that’s true, lol. It may just be my own bias as a leftist that heavily condemns Russia’s invasion, but the vast majority of leftists condemn Russia invading, with some also condemning NATO’s historical treatment of the Russian Federation, leading to an unjust invasion in the first place.
It’s kind of like people that say the US government caused 9/11 by being an absolute villian on a global stage, especially with respect to the Middle East. That’s not saying 9/11 was justified, but that the US government shouldn’t have held their foreign policy the way they have for centuries in the first place.
Maybe I’m blind, but I really don’t see anyone saying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is justified.
Leftists are anti-Imperialism and Anti-Colonialism as a rule, so being pro-Imperialism is a decidedly not leftist take.
Yup, as a leftist Russia is an imperialist capitalist country doing the terrible things those countries do. These conflicts will always occur until we move on from this system. Every capitalist imperialist hegemon engages in these conflicts. Where I seem to agitate people is I don’t make exception for this for other hegemon countries like the US and alliances like NATO, as if this had no historical context and was inevitable.
I’m just basing this on what I see all over hexbear and lemmygrad in particular. I have, in fact, gotten a ban for “genocide denial” on hexbear for suggesting that Russia is perpetuating genocide against the Ukrainian people. The absolute irony.
I wouldn’t call those people lefties. That’s more like some twisted tankie ideology, based on some absurd notion that Russia is still communist.
Russia has done some truly horrific acts to the people of Ukraine, but isn’t being classified as genocide by human rights groups.
Isn’t the kidnapping of Ukraines children count as a cultural genocide or something?
Certainly a war crime.
I see, I just want to state that there’s an odd use of terminology you’ve used. I’m assuming that you’re referring to marxists, socialist, etc, as the “leftists”, I just wish to point out that they absolutely HATE liberals, like the Democratic Party and such. The liberals actually support Ukraine while those leftists are more “eh” on the subject.
You keep using that word, I don’t think it means what you think it means. https://youtube.com/watch?v=L9n77DPJ7AE
What’s happening in Ukraine, Gaza, as well as countless other places, are frigging tragedies, but it’s not genocides.
There is actually a genocide being perpetrated presently, but as nobody wants to piss of China nobody’s talking about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide
I don’t think it’s pedantic to point out that is saying there is a “risk” of genocide. It’s not saying there is a genocide.
Liberals then: 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Liberals now: 🇵🇸 Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
Liberal’s stock portfolios: Lockheed, Raytheon…
Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
I guess if you don’t support Isreal you’re an antisemite. Does that mean if you don’t support Palestine you’re an antiislamist?
Wat…
Big Lebowski reference I think?
Nope my b it’s American Psycho
You don’t seem to know what antisemitic means.
