      Harris is not pro-Genocide. Trump is.

      “Let me be very clear: I am unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself, and that’s not going to change,”

      vs.

      “They have to get it done. Get it over with and get it over with fast because we have to – you have to get back to normalcy and peace.”

      One of those two people is going to be the next President.

      Harris believes, rightly, that Israel has the right to defend itself the same as any other country.

      The problem is, they haven’t actually been engaging in defense for some time now. That’s the fault with Israel and Bibi, not Harris.

      Trump believes Gaza needs to be exterminated fast and would bring the worst Israeli policies here.

        Harris is just as much pro genocide as Trump is. Out of one side of their mouth, they talk ceasefire, as they have just completed their 500th military weapons drop to Israel. That’s why Democrats cannot be trusted. We have listened to what they said and then watched what they do.

          It’s not genocide denial. Historically, Israel has been attacked from all sides and the position of the US government, since Israel’s creation, is that they have the right to exist and the right to defend themselves.

          The problem is, under the Likud party, in Gaza and other territory, Israel moved from defense to offense. We supply them in good faith and they use those supplies in bad faith.

          That is NOT the same thing as “ZOMG! You support genocide!”

          If Iran decides to legit attack Israel, they will, and should, defend themselves with our weapons.

          The problem is that’s not what they are using them for, and that’s on THEM. Not Harris.

      “I care about Palestinians so much that I’m willing to sacrifice their future well being for my poorly formed but intractable political ideals.”

      Ok.

      You will however allow the most pro genocide voter to decide the election for you.

      Good for you.

          No I don’t. I recognize reality and refuse to allow the most genocidal candidate to win.

          How about you? Do you just accuse people on the internet of stupid shit, desperate to make enemies…

          Or do you try to build a coalition to prevent the most genocidal candidate from winning?

          Sounds like you just talk shit…

          Do you deny Trump is worse, and has absolutely zero scruples about Israel obliterating Gaza?
