      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.

                    Yeah, and it won’t be forced out of power as long as blueMAGA is supporting their agenda either, and it wouldn’t matter if they were because support for genocide is unanimous in the Israeli government.

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

                    America is Nazi Germany in this analogy: you’re the ones perpetrating genocide. This is more like you complaining that Hitler is party leader instead of Himmler.
