      The intended implication that Republicans would somehow be different.

      Republicans don’t pretend to advocate for a ceasefire.

      The Obama administration dropped an average of 60 bombs every single day, on the middle east and north africa, during his presidency.

      Has there been any reckoning or reflection on that atrocity, within the democratic party?

      This argument is hilarious with the intended implication that Republicans would somehow be different.

      There is no such implication.

      Both Dem and Repub support Israel and the arms deals.

      Correct, liberals are pretending otherwise.

          Yes there lmao. Otherwise the meme would have “US GOVT” at the bottom, but by only calling out Dems its trying to imply that the only other viable party is somehow different.

          Wrong, it’s highlighting to liberals and dems that their party is also complicit in genocide, which they are currently firmly denying.

          And liberals/dems/the left know this. They either support Israel too or are outspoken against it, hence the protests that are ignored or demonized by the media.

          Why are you grouping in the Left with liberals and dems?

                  I agree, that is the reality, but by only calling out Dems its implying Repubs are different. To me that is the apparent purpose of this meme.

                  You’re on a Communist community, you aren’t going to find fans of the GOP.

                  “Oh, Dems turn a blind eye to genocide in Palestine” true, but Repubs do as well. Its almost the whole of US Congress that is complicit.

                  Correct, but this statement is bannable on Lemmy.world.
