    The Biden years were pretty chill too until every leftist in the country decided that carrying water for a terrorist organization was more important than keeping a fascist out of the most powerful office on earth.

    What’s more important? Giving a voice to 2 million Palestinians who are always going to hate us anyway, or defending the entire free world from creeping authoritarianism?

    Do you feel the trade-off was worth it? Do the Palestinians?

        The situation was still salvageable when Israel’s fascist government was being restricted by American diplomatic pressure. Is the situation better now? How about in another 4 years?

          It wasn’t being restricted by American diplomatic pressure; the only thing American diplomatic pressure was being used for was to quash opposition to the genocide.

          The genocide was every bit as unrestrained under Biden, and the only reason you think otherwise is because you were a genocide denier and apologist when it was your team doing it. In that sense, the situation is better now, because at least liberals are actually acknowledging what is happening, rather than engaging in endless denial and apologia.

              Mate, that was literally you under the Biden administration. Talk about projection.

                No, that’s accelerationists anytime someone suggests taking the better of two bad options. No amount of protesting is going to make Palestinians and Israelis not want to kill each other, but some paths can limit the damage.

                This conflict isn’t going to end in our lifetimes.

                    Likud won’t be forced out of power as long as maga is supporting their agenda, and vice versa. Dictators recognize they’re all on the same team. Look at trumps new bff bukele.

                    Giving France to the Nazis isn’t going to make the English fight that much harder. It’s just shooting ourselves in the foot.
