Apologies that this is the first you’re hearing about Israel/Palestine

I find it deeply disturbing that when I opened the comment section of a post discussing 400 (now over 700) dead people, mostly innocent children, men, and women, in less than 48 hours, the first reaction was to blame “Arabs,” “Muslims,” “Tankies,” “Leftists,” and “Pro-Palestinians,” using these minority communities as tokens.

Tankies are not "minority groups"...

This is a glaring display f hypocrisy, these groups are portrayed in a positive light only when it benefits politically, only to be thrown under the bus when they are no longer useful…

There is no hypocrisy. Arabs and Muslims are portrayed in a positive light to counter the American far right's frothing hatred of them, that was the core reason.

Any human capable of experiencing empathy would have first reacted with disgust and indignation at the unfolding genocide, rather than resorting to scapegoating and divisive rhetoric, but it may also not be organic comments, what do I know…

"divisive rhetoric" you sound like a fucking centrist.

The US has been green-lighting genocide in the Middle East for decades. Party A only seems to notice when Party B takes over the White House. But this has been an ongoing horror story going back to Operation Ajax and the dismantling of the Egyptian democracy following the death of Gamal Nasser, largely through collaboration between the CIA, MI5, and the Mossad.

His base supporters don't really know or care about the details, because they're too invested in doing white nationalism at home. His opponents only seem to care about the genocide as far as it allows them to express racist sentiments toward Arab-Americans and other Muslim groups for being insufficiently enthusiastically liberal. His bourgeois supporters recognize genocide as a get-rich-quick scheme for their failsons and faildaughters.

This bloodshed won't end before the western military occupiers are removed from the region. And I doubt I'll see that happen in my lifetime.

When focusing on the Middle East, it isn't a "Trump" issue… by only looking at the last 30 years, it becomes exceptionally obvious that it's an American problem.

Harris would have said not to do it while continuing to supply them with weapons.

And you would understand why if you had any kind of human decency.

People are mourning their dead and you come with your petty domestic political argument? How tone deaf can you be?

I have to believe the pro-Palestine crazies who call Harris voters Nazis are either Russian trolls or still too ashamed to admit they were conned into voting for Palestine's complete destruction.

Whatever they call themselves they are not pro-Palestine. I don't buy it. Maybe they're anti-Israel, but they ain't pro-Palestine.

My friend in lebannon got widowed last year.

Who was in power in the US then?

Americana trying to defend thair country and leaders are making my blood boil. We know, you guys can do even worse, it does not excuse the bad.

And the trump admin wants to build seaside resorts in the purged Gaza then told us to STFu about eggs while the price more than doubled.

America chose bald faced fascism and genocide, over the chance to end genocide and not-fascism.

There was no chance under biden or harris that the genocide would end without running to completion. None. They're both centrists, and genocide is the only policy I've never seen a centrist abandon.

Voted harris but refuse to carry water for genocide supporters.
