Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

It's the part where he actively committed the felonies to increase his chances of winning the 2016 election, that's what seems egregious to some.

He literally engaged in election fraud, the thing he screams about. He's been convicted of it.

Standard boilerplate election fraud, committed stupidly < an actual straight up genocide

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The Israel vs Palestine genocide has been ongoing for 75+ years. I do not approve, and my approval has never been sought. Election fraud is something that trump claimed was happening in our jurisdiction while committing (and attempting) it in 2016 & 2020.

If we're talking about war crimes aka continuing the genocide supplies, trump promised to cause more and seek retribution, not peace.

THE ISRAEL VS PALESTINE GENOCIDE? FUCKING EXCUSE YOU?

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

liberals and both-sidesing genocide. name a better combo

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago

Ad hominem attacks? How is trump a better option? How do you propose to fix the situation? I'm being a realist. There are two options, one is worse than what we have.

If it's revolution you desire, put your neck in the guillotine first.

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Israel and Palestine have been involved in conflicts for an extended period, yes. Much longer than you've been alive.

Excuse you, your keyboard seems broken.

You can't be both evil and condescending, pick one.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Both sidesing genocide, now I've seen it all. Anyway since you don't approve, I can assume you're not going to vote for Biden then?

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Would you argue that I vote for trump? There are two options. Trump is ready to accelerate the genocide and give Israel more weapons.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Answer my question

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

No, you shouldn't vote for Trump, you should probably walk into traffic.

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 0 points 11 months ago (3 children)

By pointing out one problem, we're not ignoring another. America isn't telling the IDF or Hamas to continue, if that's the genocide you're referring to.

Sadly there's a litany of genocide in the history of every society.

[–] Storm@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lol Biden is literally able to cease weapon shipments to Israel. That's a tacit endorsement of the IDF's genocide.

Get your priorities together.

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's a nice point. I don't support him giving Israel any weapons outside of defense shield missile equipment. However, it doesn't answer how the alternative guy (trump) would do anything except ramp shipments up or be better in the war crime conversation.

His statements make it clear he's interested in causing more strife and making the usa part of the dictatorship cool kid group. He wants to acceelerate Israel's actions according to his statements. Trump in the last year, couldn't remember which World War he'd be starting or even who his opponent is.

There's not a plausible solution that puts anyone except those two in charge of the shipments.

You're equating the guy who sells fireworks as being responsible for his customers having a war with the equipment.

I can't get either one to stop the shipments. We can't get Hamas or IDF to stop. The Palestinians are caught in the middle. Zionists seem to be taking advantage of the situation. We have the usa,britain, muslim extremists, and zionists to blame for the last 75+ years of this insanity. Escalating the fighting doesn't solve a thing, it breeds more fighting.

It needs to stop. Israel doesn't have to fire the bombs because they have them. Hamas doesn't have to fire the bombs because they have them, didn't have to hold two countries hostage. Israeli forces didn't have to hold Palestine hostage.

If you vote for Biden then you support what Biden is doing.
Do you think he's going to come to your house and whisper-wheeze "Hey fat, I just want to know, was your vote for me a real vote or a 'not-Trump' vote? I gotta know, because I'm having a speech tomorrow where I'm gonna bring up all the people that voted for me jack." brandon

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

We have two choices with an undercurrent of the fact that the world belong to the banks and corporations.

Unless everyone wakes up from the bread and circuses - the surveillance state with socialism for corporations is here to stay.

I can't pick anything but one of two choices in the current system. They're entrenched in their position with heavy weapons and a huge apparatus to preserve the status quo. A. Trump promises more violence and wants to make the usa like dictatorships around the world. He also wants to accelerate the genocide that you blame one person for. Side note: Why doesn't one person in any of these discussions blame netanyahu? Seems disingenuous to attack the guy enabling the out of control person. Benny netanyahuhu could stop this now. He could end the bombing and slaughter at once. If america didn't sell israel bombs, there are suppliers on the market. I want the genocide to stop. israel won't stop even with us asking.

I can't stop the sales of these items. The corporations that make them desire the profits to keep going up.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

You're not answering my question. Anyway you guys keep trotting out the same talking points. It's so repetitive I don't even need to write new responses

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm not writing professionally and don't want to edit the last comment - B. voting doesn't mean I agree with everything they do.

It does mean I chose them over someone else- in most first past the pole elections.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm not writing professionally.

Yeah, I can tell

I thought they were paid by the word with how much garbage they spewed without saying anything

America isn't telling the IDF or Hamas to continue

By supporting Israel’s occupation of Palestine with billions of dollars, Biden routinely shipping off weapons to slaughter Palestinians and allowing weapons sales, the U.S. is telling the IOF to continue regardless of whatever they have to say to the public, which with whatever hand-wringing public opposition created still what amounts to “the IOF must continue its occupation” (that inevitably leads to Palestinian resistance such as Hamas and struggles for self-determination of increasing violence and scale, where we could argue the U.S. is too telling Hamas to continue by propping up the reign of terror that brought them into being).

You're a fleabitten dogbrain.
"Hurh we almost exterminated native Americans in the past, so that means it's fine to genocide Palestinians now"

America is giving aid to Israel, large amounts of it. Money, arms, training and so much more. Not to mention running defence in the ICC. America is an active participant in the genocide of palestinians.
