WASHINGTON, D.C. – After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

        I’m mocking lemmy’s pro-genocide centrists who immediately call anyone who opposes Netanyahu’s genocide a Russian shill, yes.

            Good for you. The centrists who love that the US is supporting the genocide they’ve always wanted scream “Russian” when anyone suggests that the US should stop supporting genocide.

            If you’ve never seen it, try being critical of the US’ support for Netanyahu.

              I’ve never been accused of being Russian over my criticism of Nazrael. Did you read the article? It’s about how demographically, the statistical centrists have flipped against the Israelis.

            They’re against Israel but when you say you’ll vote third party or sit out the vote you get people jumping at your throat and trying to deny reality by telling you to fall in like or we’ll get another Trump term. I don’t see it as much now but it was pretty common even just a couple of weeks ago.

              No. They assume without evidence that opposition to genocide is advocacy for voting third party or staying home or voting for Trump.

              I see it constantly in this community.

              “Biden should stop supporting Netanyahu’s genocide.”

              “You think Trump would be better? Russian Chinese Republican nazi tankie child shill bot!!!”

                This is not reality.

                The reality is that if you oppose genocide you get yelled at for continuing to show any support for the Biden campaign despite the fact that his opponent is the genocide-accelerationist candidate.

                And I’m someone who thinks we should defund Israel and then look away for a year or 5.

                Stop trying to have abstract parasocial arguments with entire demographics at once, you’re driving yourself nuts.

                  I’ve been called a russian in this very thread for saying that Biden should stop supporting genocide.

                    I suppose that’s good enough for you to throw everything else I said out the window. Good morning.

                    Edit: that or those comments were deleted by a moderator, I would invite you to reconsider throwing everything else I said out the window.
