"Both parties are the same."

"A vote for Harris is a vote for genocide."

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Considering she stated she would do nothing different than Biden, yes it is another vote for genocide. The only difference offered between the 2 political parties on this issue is, lip service and ‘another month to leave’. To say the dems were seriously offering a different stance here is cope

Trump is literally doing something different than Biden. He literally wants Palestine cleared of Palestinians. Biden never even approached saying something like that.

No one is claiming Biden or Harris would be good for Palestine. This is far, far worse.

Or is this is one of these "what are you going to believe, me or your own eyes" things?

If you really think Harris would have done anything significant to restrain Israel I envy your optimism. Voters' only realistic choices for Palestine this election were for furrowed brows or enthusiastic cheerleading, but Israel was getting weapons and political cover for whatever it wanted to do either way.

If you really think Harris would have called for a total ethnic cleansing of Palestine, you paid zero attention to anything she ever said.

How many Palestinians did you ask about who to vote for? Because the Palestinians I talked to before the election were not fans of Harris, but rightfully far more terrified of Trump. I actually go out of my way to talk to Palestinians, and so many people berating me for not caring about genocide or whatever, when I ask them how often they talk to Palestinians, they don't answer.

But .ml was telling us that Trump would stop the genocide not supercharge it. How can this be? /s

Tbd, it is one way to stop a genocide. Literally the worst one, but it would stop.

Wasn’t it literally plan A for the Nazis?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (6 children)

The Nazis had a few ideas for the "Final Solution" of the Jews. The end goal being get them out of the Reich. They tried to send them to Palestine (then under British control) which is a big part of why were stuck with Israel and its fuckery today. Seriously, there was some cooperation between the Jewish militant groups in Palestine and the Nazis. It is seriously a fucked up situation. But, forcing the Jews out of the country didn't work very well so the Nazis started rounding up and killing them.

Seriously, there was some cooperation between the Jewish militant groups in Palestine and the Nazis.

Guess who was in a Jewish militant group in British-occupied Palestine?

Netanyahu's parents. They changed their name from something Polish to the much more semitic Netanyahu and emigrated in Palestine in the 1920s with the express idea of creating a Jewish state.

Netanyahu and his family did not suffer from the Holocaust, they benefited from it.

No, fucking stop. Ethnic cleansing is genocide. Period.

Or was the Naqba not genocidal?

You're indistinguishable from a nazi but you will never internalize why.

I like asking people like this what they specifically are doing about the genocide since I spend hours a week on email and phone campaigns but still agree with people like jeffw up there.

Somehow, none of them ever tell me what they do. Probably because what they do is berate others on the internet and that's as far as it goes.

Must be all those sending my heart gestures and roman salutes I do on a daily basis because I'm autistic and awkward.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Weird, I've never seen a person directly address themselves in a Lemmy comment like this... I can appreciate that you've recognized your errors though.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago (5 children)

And there we go, exactly as expected because trump literally said he would do this.

To all those "genocide Joe" assholes who thought that somehow not getting Harris elected would be a good thing: you've just murdered millions.

I think this is a sensible plan. Next after Gaza, Ukrainians should be resettled in Poland, and then Americans in Europe.
