    You’ve got one side sending food and clean water while the other side advocates Netanyahu “finish the job”, but sure “both sides bad” about it all you want.

              I mean, you’re clearly not willing to be rational on this, or you would never have brought it up.

              What do you want me to do, waste my time researching the daily operating costs? Spend hours hunting sources you’ll just tl;Dr?

              What’s the point? Even if you’re right, it’s irrelevant.

              What costs more, a bullet, or the medical care to recover from being shot? How much credit do you want to give someone for killing a hundred people while forcing a thousand out of their homes just because they only almost let the thousand starve to death in a refugee camp run by rapists?

      you can talk around it with all the mental gymnastics you like, but ultimately voting for biden is a signal to the democratic party that their base doesn’t care about genocide enough to not vote for him, which is all they care about

        And not voting for Biden resulting in a Trump victory signals an immediate end to Palestinians, among many other horrible atrocities to come as the US declines into a mix of Plutocracy and Evangelical Theocracy.

          implying palestine will last until january

          oh ho ho

          if you’re fine with the trade off, make the trade off and vote biden

          just don’t pretend the trade off isn’t happening

            There is urgency for every single life at risk in this conflict, but it’s not debateable that Palestine absolutely will exist in January and that the differences in US Admin could very well be the difference of hundreds of thousands of lives following the election.

              i don’t think the current round of genocide will last until january, no, whether or not a state called palestine is left standing or not

              you’re trading in the lives of the next palestine
