It seems to me that Republicans and the Christian Nationalists they are in bed with are going to be immovably pro-Israel. How do we prevent our government from participating in this genocide as these new politicians take power?

    Do you really think that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump would be equally bad on this issue? Why?

      You can’t get worse than the Biden Harris stance. And there is no way Donald Trump is going to be better. So yeah equally bad.

        Why don’t you save this comment and revisit it in a year.

        This is so fucking naive and ahistoric. Read a fucking book.

          I’ve been reading books about the region for about 20 years. Where have you been? There is no difference between the parties when it comes to that conflict. They have other differences but not about Israel Palestine. Israel is the major Middle East foothold for American empire and policy has been consistent there for 50 years. Biden/Harris are currently committing genocide there, escalating the terror there to the worst levels in the history of the conflict. It does not get worse than genocide, nothing republicans can do is worse than genocide, there are hundreds of thousands dead. Fuck Harris, Biden, and Trump for this. Don’t come to a thread about what to do about ending the genocide and defend a comment that says voting for Harris (SECOND IN COMMAND OF SAID GENOCIDE) would have stopped it.

        You absolutely can. You can send the US military directly in to finish the job. Or private military contractors. Or stop giving what aid is currently being sent. What doctors are currently there. It can and will get worse with direct involvement.

          You want the US to lose another war?

        Lol, I keep joking to people that my side is dumb enough to believe the two are equal on that and every day one of y’all proves me right.
