      No, but in 2020 I didn’t vote for Trump.

      Ok. I guess you maybe voted Biden? Did he explicitly stand on not supporting Israel?

      Why did I get a genocide?

      You got a genocide?

      In the short term, genocide is happening because Hamas pissed Israel off one time too many and one time too much. In the long term, the genocide is happening because of historical and deep-rooted emnity between Israel and its neighbouring Arab states. It sucks. There are extremist arseholes on both sides who profit from continued conflict and violence against ‘the other’.

      Regardless, America doesn’t have absolute fiat in the region. Who you vote for makes little difference to what Netanyahu and Haniyeh will choose to do. But Trump is no less an ally of Israel than Biden is.

        More genocide apologia and bad history. We are clearly on different teams.

        I’m not sure what’s the end goal of denying the genocide or giving the excuse that Israel is a geopolitical ally. Am I supposed to say “oh that makes the genocide okay, I will vote for Biden”? It is just more cruelty and dehumanization.

          I’m not sure what ‘team’ you think I’m on.

          I agree that a one-sided genocidal war seems to be going on right now and I’m against it.

          What’s your solution?

          That’s funny. I ask because you have expressed zero understanding of how the US government works multiple times recently. Yet you have no problem screaming the same bs everywhere you can.

            Are you talking about First Past the Post and Winner Take All?

            I’m still not voting for the lesser evil. I think we are overdue to seriously consider a 3rd party, instead of choosing between two flavours of genocide.

              I’m talking about you not understanding how the US government and elections work, and also you acknowledging Trump is worse than Biden. Yet you keep pushing bullshit 24/7 in every post you possibly can.

              I didn’t know the US had geopolitical relations with Israel.

              You also have some strange notion that the US has a separate religious court system.

              Sit down and shut up.
