If you have to commit genocide to win an election, fuck you, fuck your election, fuck your presidency, fuck your so-called democracy, and, quite frankly, fuck your whole damn country.

@aral Kamala? she committed to ending the Gaza bombing in the speech.

And she committed to releasing hostages.

@Deixis9 @aral
The Biden administration has said the same things while still providing weapons to Israel that are directly used against Palestinians, all the while providing them with political cover in the UN, so i hope you won't mind if that doesn't convince many people that things will improve.

@RnDanger @aral What do you think should happen?

What would be the result?

Pull the weapons, Israel is attacked again.

Then what?

Ideally, Netanyahu has to go, yes, but he was democratically elected.

So... what now?

@Deixis9 @RnDanger @aral your total lack of concern for the lifes of 180,000 human beings and counting is simply frightening.

@RnDanger @aral you're wrong @FelisCatus

It's more complicated than we know.

@Deixis9 @RnDanger @aral Not sending 20 billions of arms to a genocide state is not complicated.

You know who else was "democratically elected"? FW de Klerk, and all his predecessors, were.

Did that prevent you from supporting boycott of apartheid South Africa? Did you also think that the situation was "complicated" back then?

@Deixis9 @RnDanger @aral @FelisCatus

It's not complicated my friend.

What's complicated about :

* genocide and apartheid (ICJ, Amnesty, HRW)

* ethnic cleansing

* environmental vandalism

* targeting children, journalists and using human shields

* .. provably lying about it

* violating decades of UN resolutions

* bombing and assassination in other's territory

* $$billions and US weapons to Israel

* near total destruction of Palestinian territory (see map)

@Deixis9 @RnDanger @aral @FelisCatus

All conflict is complicated; but that doesn't mean right and wrong cease to exist.

It doesn't mean that a shrug of the shoulders is ever an appropriate response to mass murder, torture and genocide facilitated by one's own government.
