    I was told by liberals that I should stop worrying about Gazan children for more than a year while Biden and Democrats happily gave Israel the money and guns to kill them

    Now they tell me Trump is bad for his support of Israel

      Democrat voters were the only ones denouncing Israel.

      The choice was made clear in all social media and publicly by all Democrat and Republican politicians.

      Vote Democrat if you want to support Palestinians and condemn Israel while continuing to allow Israel to buy weapons.

      Vote Republican if you want to exterminate all Palestinians. Trump promised in speeches to wipe out all Palestinians.

      You might not like either choice but the two sides were not the same.

        Wha?

        Any time I criticized Biden admin for giving arms to Israel, I was told “he’s trying to end it” or “just vote Harris”

        I criticized Harris for not making herself meaningfully different from Biden on the genocide issue. People here told me to shut up and stop complaining about it. People here even said I was in a minority for caring so much about Gaza and that it didn’t matter that much

          As I said, he was trying to end it but without stopping the sale of arms. It’s not like Israel even needs any those weapons to starve Palestine.

          And when the alternative is Trump who promised to exterminate all Palestinians, yes you should shut up because it made fence sitters not vote for Harris.

                So the Biden administration just gave them stuff they didn’t need??? For what???

                “Hey guys, please stop killing Gazan children. Pretty please? Oh, if you don’t stop, I’ll have to keep sending you weapons and billions in cash right up to my last week in office. Don’t worry, I have an army of idiots on the internet who will defend me even when it makes no sense.”

                  Biden didn’t give anything. Israel bought it. Biden only allowed the sale to go through. Congress appropriates funds, not the President.

                  And again you are only reaffirming my statement.

                  Democrats: We support Palestine and will try to stop Israel but won’t stop weapon sales to do it.

                  Republicans: We will exterminate all Palestinians.

                  That’s not, “Both sides are the same.”

                    “Biden didn’t give anything” is not true. You just said it yourself l: “he allowed sale to go through”

                    Yes, money is approved by Congress. That’s the point. The administration and the Congress, both parties, are bought and paid for by AIPAC.

                    No other country gets no-strings-attached cash and weapons from the US.

                    Republicans didn’t exterminate Gazan children; a Democratic administration enabled Israel and tried to ban the only social media platform that allowed people to honestly talk about it. Joe Biden and the Democrat leadership have children’s blood on their hands

                    You’re actually just lying. Fuck off with this bullshit.

      That’s not the equivalent at all. That’s pro-Zionism, and has been the US party line for decades. Biden even admitted that back in the 1980s.

      How on Earth are you equating that to MAGA?
