"Tim Walz admits to being a person"

[–] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

He is correct in regards to Trump, but lets not forget, Walz was also a big supporter of the Zionist actions.

In reality, though, Walz has never diverged from the party line of unconditionally supporting Israel, a position illustrated by his comments earlier this year at an event held by the Jewish Community Relations Council.

“The ability of Jewish people to self-determine themselves is foundational … The failure to recognize the state of Israel is taking away that self-determination. So it is anti-Semitic,” he said.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

I see what you did there. I don't forgive those that support those causing a genocide.

which genocide ? The Jewish ? The Armenian ? The Native American ?

Which one is so much more important than the other ?

[–] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Who said one was more important than the others?

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i do feel like people have forgotten at least two more ongoing genocides and by the nature of being forgotten they are implied to be less important

Yes, agree. The ugly side of history.

The one currently going on, that Walz is supporting ?

And if you want to try that again but listing current genocides - Are you aware of any US politicians in favour of say the Uyghur genocide? Which other ones could they possibly be concerned about their politicians supporting?

In general, these types of discussions ignore the start of the Hispanic genocide comments like these help to trigger.
