Nope. And the conservatives are all in on Israel. Gaza is a genocide under the UN definition. Specifically they are corralling people into an area the size of a major airport and dropping enough bombs to make an area ten times the size shudder. They created that situation by not allowing people to evacuate through their lines. Which is also a war crime. Now that they've created it, everyone from retired European military officers to the UN is shouting that it's impossible to drop bombs in there without causing massive civilian casualties.

Furthermore they're restricting food aid into the entire area. Refusing to allow enough in for people to survive. They've actually reduced the amount they're letting in since the ICC ruling that they immediately take steps to allow more aid in.

This is what a genocide looks like. It looked like this in Rwanda, in Sudan, in Myanmar, and on and on.

As I said, BIDEN is not committing genocide. That is what you’re suggesting. I’m refuting THAT and that alone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh so it's okay then. He didn't murder them, he just gave them the bombs to do it, knowing what was happening. Why didn't you say so? It's all okay now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn’t say it’s okay. I said it’s not genocide. Do you under this simple concept?

The problem here is that you all seem to think just because you move the goalposts around, everyone else will have to play by your new rules.

It doesn’t work like that. So stop with the genocide Joe bullshit. It’s trying and old and we’re all sick of correcting you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Which is it? Because I laid out the genocide and you said but that's not Biden doing it and now you're back to its not genocide. Are you trying to work your way down the narcissist's prayer? Because if you are, you're doing it badly.

For the record you've tried -

  • That's not a crime.

  • And if it is a crime Biden didn't do it.

You should be here -

  • And if he did it's okay because it's not actually that big of a deal.

ROFL… this is why no one takes you seriously.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Says the one who thinks Biden's responsibility in the Gaza genocide is a pick and choose menu.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No matter where you move the goalposts to, the argument remains the same. You just look foolish and desperate now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bud my goalposts have been the same this whole time. The IDF is commiting a genocide and Biden is responsible because he's knowingly supplying it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Again, genocide would be attempted regardless of Biden’s involvement. You’re incredibly ignorant and naive if you even begin to think otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even if that were true, he could at the very least not give them the bombs to do it with. But in reality Israel has stopped bombing at his behest before. And the IDF publicly said they could not operate like this without American bombs.

You're twisting yourself pretty hard to defend Biden, but this really is indefensible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, you admit Biden is not committing genocide?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you even come to that conclusion? It's this a translation error or something?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look up the definition of genocide, come back here and post it as a response- then explain to me how Biden is guilty of it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You keep trying to go to Biden is innocent because he's not actively committing the genocide.

So here it is again.

Bud my goalposts have been the same this whole time. The IDF is commiting a genocide and Biden is responsible because he’s knowingly supplying it.

And the UN definition with the bits Israel is doing highlighted.

Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

A. Killing members of the group;

B. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

C. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

D. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

E. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Yawn… I made my point. You’re wrong. Move along now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure you have. And the sky is actually green. I'm just not playing your games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Again, I made my point- you’re wrong. And be thankful that right now you have the freedom to BE wrong. Because while the rest of us are going to bust out asses trying to ensure you continue to have the right to speak against the administration, if we lose because of your little temper tantrums, the next one won’t allow it.

Take cake kiddo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do I though? Have you actually looked at what happens if you hold up a sign on the wrong street corner and the cops get mad at you? It's not pretty, and it's a lot more like Russia than you want to think.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you even know what you’re talking about?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is moving the goalposts around so much that the topic of discussion isn’t even remotely in the same wheelhouse as it started really the only way you think you can make a point?

My god this is incredibly embarrassing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao you're the one who talked about the election and losing the first amendment. You went there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Again, do you even know what you’re talking about?

By the way, I checked your comment history, and as predicted- you didn’t give a rats ass about Palestine 5 months ago.

Not a single word on the subject.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

was MSNBC talking about it 7 months ago? what about Fox News? you get a lot of Israel news coming out of the CBS evening news 6 months ago? this is such a disingenuous accusation you should be ashamed.
