    I understand I’ll get downvoted for this but Harris said herself, as did Biden this week at the DNC that the protesters have a point, and that Harris wants a 2-state solution, ceasefire, hostages returned. Donald Trump wants Bibi to hold off and kill the ceasefire, to “finish the job”.

    Harris is the best route to ensuring that Palestine continues to receive US based aid as well as support for the end of the war.

    It is NEVER about getting EVERYTHING or NOTHING. If you set yourself on all or nothing, you will almost always end up with nothing.

    I’m voting Harris because I believe she is the best chance Palestine has right now.

      Our entire government has failed to respond to the challenge of standing up to Israel and has even provided the tools for them to continue their horrific campaign against the Palestinian people. We are all complicit in what has happened and history will not be kind to us.

      I also believe that Trump would be objectively worse.

        That’s honestly unfair as fuck to say “we are all complicit” as Americans, like maybe look at the globe. This was created and allowed to exist for a lot of reasons. It’s a monstrosity. But don’t let these fucks trick you into believing you should shoulder this like some white guilt nonsense

          Apparently dissent on Lemmy is marked as “genocide” and censored. Between this and all Israel news outlets being censored, it’s pretty clear this is just a pro-terrorism platform. Goodbye.

            Your modlog is fully visible for anyone who cares to look:

            https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=5723532

            “I’m voting for Trump because I want Israel to finish off the terrorists in Gaza.”

            There are two problems with this:

            1. Israel isn’t killing terrorists.

            https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war

            1. Israel says there are no innocent Palestinians.

            https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/israel-posts-video-saying-are-no-innocent-civilians-gaza-rcna157111

            So, yeah, backing Trump’s statement that Israel needs to “get it over with fast”? That’s advocating genocide.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
