I’m sure this won’t end up just like the GOP immigrant caravans of ms-13 and disappear right after the election.

    While I don’t disagree that the issue is used hypocritically, Israel’s genocide has been going on a long damn time at this point.

      I agree on that.

      I’m not speaking to the underlying principles, but how this is being used as this election’s migrant caravan emergency that’s the only thing we can think about this close to the election, but will vanish again in mid-november.

      I’ve had many .mls explain why Gaza is innocent and letting America support genocide is intolerable, but Ukraine should have surrendered to Russia to preserve the peace.

      There’s princjple, then there’s obvious astroturfing.

      Yeah, it would be much more accurate to flip the two as centrists and right wing people have ignored Israel’s countless crimes against humanity for 75 years!
