    Lmao genocide is not a “highly complex geopolitical issue”

    It is neocolonialism that has been going on for a while (not 1000 years??) and is now ramping up to full on blatant murder, genocide, and devastation for the Palestinian peoples.

    I can think of something US govt can do literally right now to help; STOP GIVING ISRAEL FUCKING WEAPONS!

    But then the poor investors of aero/defense industrial complex will whine and complain that their Raytheon stock went down 5% ☹️. Can’t have that now can we

    Vote third party if you live in a solid state like me, vote red or blue if you are worried about your states outcome.

    Holy shit these comments…

    Guys, I think you have over-saturated your target forum. Too many on the same site, you gotta tell the higher ups to spread it around more so it’s not so obvious.

    Edit: Just for folks who may not understand: Harris has to walk a fine rhetorical line before the election. The reality is, if she comes out strongly about Israel/Palestine in any way whatsoever, she will lose. People here can’t seem to grasp this fact. Maybe they don’t live in the US and understand the political/social climate here? Or perhaps they’re just too young?

    She will lose, and Trump will give Netanyahu carte blanche to expand his ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

    I wish I knew how Harris actually feels about the situation, and I believe her reticence to support Israel in the way Biden has is a good sign. But no, I wish I knew what she’s going to do; all I know is that it’s far better than the only other possible alternative. Anyone who’s gonna say ‘der how you know that,’ is disingenuous as fuck. You know why. I’m not going to explain that shit again.

    This breaks rule 2. “No misinformation” Israel is not a 1000 years old it is less than 100 years old

    “1000 year conflict”

    Year of Israel’s creation: 1948

    Start of Gaza genocide: 2023

    🤔

    Yeah I’m perfectly fine with not being on the same side as people openly embracing Dick Cheney and weird people can’t figure out how being active in genocide is bad.

    This is classic liberal brain worm nonsense.

    Blue maga cultists world rather blame leftists than get your shitty candidate in line with her genocidal policies.

    It’s not a difficult situation to resolve: stop supplying Israel with weapons and support.

    What 1000 year conflict? The nakba was less than a century ago. Plus “please stop giving 2000 pound bombs to Israel to commit a genocide with” is a very far cry from “please end the Israeli apartheid state”.

    Stop killing Palestinians is such a far left position man. I can’t even. Americans are effing weird.

    The multiple typos in Harris’s statement point to the author either being lazy or trying to portray her as an idiot
