I don’t understand this logic. You claim that the US is supporting by all means a genocide because it’s election year and out of fear of being called antisemites by the republicans? Therefore, after the elections this genocide will not be supported by the democrats anymore?

I’m sorry, this doesn’t make any sense to me.

I think that if the democrats win this election there is a decent chance the US could start slowly pulling support.

Why do you think that? Did I miss something perhaps? I haven’t seen a hint from democrats during the past year up to now to support this claim. On the contrary, they actively send Israel tones of bombs and money to genocide Palestinians, and no matter what “red lines” the Biden administration puts on the matter, soon after they forget about them. And Harris (if I remember correctly) she said she will continue the same policy.

We must face the hard truth in Gaza: Israel has lost its moral authority - The Hill - 07/18/24

I reviewed thousands of incident reports and tens of thousands of individual data points from several dozen credible organizations, as well as the Israeli military itself, as a part of a nonpartisan task force analyzing Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

Our report, submitted to the Biden administration and briefed to Congress, establishes compelling and credible evidence of Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and U.S. military best practices, utilizing U.S.-provided munitions. It shows how the Israeli military has demonstrated a “systematic disregard for fundamental principles of international law, including recurrent attacks launched despite foreseeably disproportionate harm to civilians.”

It’s the Zionists who are killing children, and what you say is totally antisemitic.

It seems to me you are missing the point.

This is a political suicide. I cannot say that I am for this approach but what I see is a form of protest (and maybe what I think about it is another topic). What is striking to me is that this US-backed Genocide is taking place for almost a year, and due to despair americans are even killing themselves as a form of protest.

And of course there are other forms of protesting. People try to influence politicians in so many ways so the US stops providing guns and arguments attempting to justify it.

Ok, tbh the understanding I got from rule 3 is that it was more flexible, in the sense that it says “may be removed”, not “will be removed”, but thank you for taking the time to clarify this.

I understand what you say about the difference of posts and comments.

Reported as a copy/paste of a Mondoweiss article

Not too sure I understand to which rule this report would be based on anyway. And btw Mondoweiss is mentioned at the very top of the article. It’s the same author, different outlets. Not a secret.

I think I see what you mean. Still, I believe the priority is for this Genocide to be stopped and Israeli people have the duty I would say, to act towards this direction. General strikes that last long can be a great tool for political pressure.

It looks like it’s a one-day strike.

I hope many people participate, so that it goes on until a permanent ceasefire is achieved.

As I briefly explained above, I don’t see a point to this hypothetical question and I was not convinced by your arguments, so I will not engage to answering it.

It looks like we see things quite differently. For me all Genocides are evil. I believe it is important to study their differences so they do not reoccur in any way, shape or form. Obviously as humans we haven’t worked on this properly (for many of reasons) and one more is currently happening to Palestinians. In that sense comparing randomly any two of them as to see which one is worst, it honestly doesn’t make sense to me.

Do you regard the Soviets and the Nazis as equally evil?

I’m not too sure how constructive this question is. They have different characteristics for sure and this is enough for me, in terms of analysis.

Hagai El Ad: Israel’s sham investigations cannot whitewash horrific abuse of Palestinian prisoners

That is my understanding as well and it is more of less what the article says.

It takes two to make peace.

I think in the case of the Gaza bombings of civilians (I cannot call this a war) the two parts needed for peace are the US and Israel.

Israel has been killing hundreds of Palestinians civilians in refugee centers, schools and hospitals

Just to note that actually, it’s tens of thousands by now. Even during October Israel had already killed many thousands of Palestinian civilians.

I like your clarification, totally on board with that.
