I don’t get it

I think it’s weird you’re downplaying these other genocides to defend taking a stronger position on Gaza

The Lancet estimates 2,5% of the Iraq population killed because of the US invasion between 2003-2006. They’re nearing 1,5% in the Gaza strip (but it’s slowing down). So I would think it’s weird to say it’s normal people are protesting the Gaza one so much while not really caring about the Iraq one, back in the day.

(Sorry I hope I’m somewhat exagerating but I also hope you see my point)

As I said: half assed

Retreat, return, repair. Anything less is just trying to excuse and continue to profit off the genocide

That largely depends on how you ask the question. Based on this article:

Support a ceasefire? 64vs13%

Support a unilateral ceasefire (as in: what’s effectively what’s being asked for Biden to threaten to pull support for today)? 28vs44%

I’m sure if you as who supports ‘peace in the Middle East’ you’ll get a large majority, but that decision isn’t really on the table

Bringing justice to those that were genocided would entail ending the occupation, returning all stolen land to their ancestors, and probably transferring all assets to them. Not some half-assed “I’ll strive to create an office to ease the pain”

I’m so very sorry, of course I meant the Rwanda supported genocide in Eastern Congo. Can you explain on why you see this as ‘bad faith’?

“just tear things down”

I read that before, prolly from one of the gradbears or something, on how they didn’t mind Trump winning and going full authoritarian, because that was a chance to “hit the reset button”. Now, even with my best will I can read that as ‘revolution + new constitution’ but I cannot imagine how these people think that shit is going to go down in the USA today.

Of course it’s part of a democracy. But the point everyone’s making is that it’s a very dumb thing to do because it’s likely to reduce your democratic power in the future.

Didn’t you say you were going to vote for Cornel West? What are his thoughts on the genocide of Native Americans and whether the land should be returned to them?

Also: vote in primaries

I think it depends on how people/voters see the particular conflict. When Bush jr put a genocide on the Taliban, he had a lot of support. When Obama put one on ISIS, he had a lot of support. When Biden stopped US support for genocides in Yemen or Rwanda, voters didn’t really seem to care one way or another.

Small thing to consider is that it’s actually Egypt that’s refusing to let though aid

They were cashing 5k/person they let through and I guess that racket done for. Israel is probably happy to let through everyone bar known Hamas members from their side

Or to humiliate your opponent

And for stopping the drinking

Dutch TV just released a statement that he made a ‘threatening gesture’ towards a camerawoman that was filming him when he came off stage after he asked not to be filmed

Whether or not it’s out of proportion would depend on which gesture I guess. But the organisation is claiming a zero tolerance policy so there’s that

Is it too late for him to run for president

No it’s not. They could have learned a ton from this probably fatal experiment

don’t blame the player, blame the game.

Funny detail is that Israel was the one that shipped their weapons to Iran, with the US supplying them with replacements
