I keep wondering why the "Genocide Joe" folk aren't now screeching about "Genocide Donald".

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Let me help you. No one saying Genocide Bibi. Because they are “public” about their goal. Joe on the other hand, “pretend” about stopping them but at the same time allowing them to commit war crime and blocking all votes in the us.

So yes no need to say Genocide Trump because he doesnt even hide.

You are putting way too much effort into explaining people being used for ampliganda.

Regardless of who would get elected, weapons would flow into israel.

Saying Genocide Joe felt good. Because it was designed to feel good. Like every piece of ampliganda.

Get over it.

Either you are blind or don't want to hear it. People have been calling out Trump for this genocide since day one. Heck, there's hundreds of posts doing that right now on Lemmy

Reminder this is only for offensive weapons. Sanders has no problem sending interceptors to defend the Nazis against any repercussions for their crimes.

And Sanders still refuses to call it a genocide.

And Sanders recently voted to block all funding to the Gazan government and do everything possible to overthrow them.

He did call it ethnic cleansing and a war crime:

What was the vote on blocking funding to the Gazan government, could not find it online?

If you pro-palestinian folks could get out of your own way for one second perhaps you could accomplish something beyond helping republicans win and then getting arrested and/or deported.

I mean I'm just saying, you're getting your ass kicked and yet you're acting like you get to demand adherence to a utopian vision of what American policy should look like. You understand you have no power right? Maybe try helping your allies that do.

If your politicians do not care about brown people getting genocided then they will not care about you either.

Nice username by the way.
