    Just because it’s been happening for a while doesn’t make it right.

    Why was Rafah a red line until all of a sudden it wasn’t? Because he knows it’s morally wrong and will lead to a lot of death but is too much of a coward to stand up for what he believes.

      Just because it’s been happening for a while doesn’t make it right.

      Just because you care about it now doesn’t suddenly make it more important than every concern, including preventing it from getting far worse.

        I cared the whole time.

        Honestly as someone who isn’t American, this is more important to me than economic policy or whatever. I want Biden to win, Trump winning would be awful for everyone, basically worldwide. But most of all I want the kids to stop dying. I really don’t think this is so unreasonable.

        Trump won’t be convinced. Biden might be. And this “less important” issue could still cost him swing states. I think maybe not supporting a genocide could be a vote winner.

          If you’re going around defending third party votes then you are doing a pretty horrifically bad job of helping Palestinians

            Well if you’re going around making up what people are saying then you’re doing a pretty horrifically bad job of having a conversation.

            Where did I defend third party votes? NOWHERE

                No worries. Mistakes happen. I won’t be a prick about it.

                But not anti Biden. Anti genocide. I can see why you might get those two confused, lol
