President Donald Trump says he’d like to see Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “clean out” the area to create a virtual clean slate.
…
“Something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.” He added: “So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
So Biden was the bad person who allowed Netanyahu to kill all those people? No. Trump will allow Israel to completely take over all Palestinian areas and either kill them all off or forcefully remove them. Netty’s plan was always to take that land back for Israel.
I don’t think you realize that pointing out Trump will be worse for Palestinians (which is tragic and true) doesn’t absolve Biden for failing reprehensibly to use his power in the US-Israel relationship to stem the mass killing and genocide of Palestinians.
It doesn’t have to. Biden and Harris being significantly less bad is enough to make them a better choice
Trolley problem etc

I have always been careful to criticize conservatives for being worse, so has the vast majority of people who are upset about the Palestinian Genocide and having their leaders betray their basic values.
This feels like being attacked for being a “Bernie Bro” when EVERY leftist I knew especially in swingstates voted for Hillary despite despising her.
It seems like a lot of moderates have decided every dead Palestinian will be another opportunity to tell the world about how they were right about everything forever but the unstoppably powerful American leftist movement ruined everything and any counter-arguments or inconvenient facts will just be ignored while they repost the same four or five talking points and memes
I think on some level they feel guilty about how everything has turned out and this is their way of processing that, so, like, there’s some humanity in this still deep down at least
Yeah it honestly has got to suck, that is why you have to pull the emergency alarm connected to the massive bright red blinking TURN BACK NOW sign as soon as direct moral and ethical complicity in genocide begins to enter the picture.
If you don’t shit gets overwhelmingly complicated fast and inveitably nuanced narratives collapse into a white dwarf of simple stories, us vs them attitudes and blinding complacency.
It also means that any coalition you build is full of members that violated their beliefs and values (secular or religious) for the chance to work with you… which means they are either desperate or they don’t have integrity.
…and you know what at the end of the day that is bargaining from a position of extreme weakness and even the checked out uninformed voter who puts very little intellectual pursuit into deciding who they will vote for can sense that and they will coldly see it for the weakness it is.
Turn back to what? There is no political party in America capable of winning a nationwide election that isn’t complicit. I just tried to keep every conversation I had with people about why they should vote for Harris focused on what an idiot Trump was and how bad his response to COVID was and I just didn’t talk about Palestine at all because I honestly think Harris was a genocide accommodating piece of shit on this (and on immigration issues) and had to focus on how she was going to be better about LGBT and disability issues to keep myself motivated to vote for her at all.
I have supported political coalitions of people who I think would let me and my friends be killed if there were enough votes or dollars in it my entire life because I’ll take their apathy over Republicans’ hostility, but I’m not going to lie about who they are, especially not when I think it’s a big part of the problems they’ve been having problems beating Republicans.
