        No, they are not all being killed. There are about 2 million innocent people in the entire Strip. Death figures according to the Gazan Health Ministry are around 30,000 currently.

        It’s not impossible though, it’s been attempted before in history, by ethno-nationalist asshats just like Netanyahu’s supporters.

        This can get much worse. Many zealots want it worse.

          “They’re not all dead yet it’s not a genocide.”

          You. That’s you. Stop literally excusing an ongoing genocide. Fucking pathetic.

          Just because we’re not yet at MegaGenocide™ package doesn’t mean much, most of Gaza is rubble now. That two million people have pretty much nowhere to return to. Israel wanted ethnic cleansing (as they have explicitly stated time and time again, Zionism is a fascist ideology) and they’re getting it

    … everybody in Hamas".

    The fact that the newspaper, twitter and all the people here are ignoring what they heard themselves,

    that is the clearest and escariest example of an echo chamber.

      It should be illegal in any country.

      Sadly, in the U.S., “freedom of speech” has become almost totally meaningless. Our supreme court decided that money is speech, which is why we now have things called political action committees (PACs) which aren’t supposed to work with campaigns *wink wink, nudge nudge* and can raise unlimited funds from anyone anywhere in the world legally. Unsurprisingly, Trump’s PAC has been paying his legal bills.

        Freedom of speech in America means the freedom to call for, advocate for, and organize violence against anyone you like so long as they aren’t white and/or Christian.

        If you say violence is bad, or call for violence against those Advocating for and organizing violence though - THEN it’s hate speech.

      When I hear things like Dearborn MI is voting for Trump, there’s a sick part of me that wants to see what would happen if the Arab community was the reason Trump got into power.

      Like, I understand that you’re very angry with the current situation but are you actually going to ruin your life and that of millions of your supposed brothers in the middle east to express that anger? Do people forget what Trump did as soon as he was in office last time?

        If both parties are going to genocide Arabs while they’re in charge, the blood is on their hands and no one else’s. Only assholes and morons will blame Arabs in the US for the massacre of Palestinians.

    I love all the comments like “Biden isn’t being tough enough on Israel! Biden isn’t stopping the genocide!”

    Besides the fact that people are asking Biden to do something that directly hurts US foreign policy interests…

    Do they REALLY think that the Republican party is on the side of stopping brown people dying? Biden in office is probably the most gentle response Palestine is going to get for 10/7. Republicans are frothing at the mouth to boost JDAM and Paveway kit sales.

      If preventing a genocide is hurting “foreign policy interests”, then those interests are shite.

        exactly what i was thinking.

        if this is the lesser of two evils, you probably have reached evil long ago.

          Yep they keep saying lesser of two evils while the options get more and more evil despite claiming “incremental progress”. Moderates are completely disconnected from reality or they’re just too afraid to actually push for something better.

            The problem is with Trump, particularly, there’s good reason to be afraid.

            “We want to punish the democrats for supporting Israel, so we are going to let Trump win”

            GOP proceeds to double down on oppressive wars, no improvement for Gaza. Further, you get a government full of leaders that, in the wake of losing in 2020, openly pondered ways of just rigging the election so they don’t have to get votes to win anymore. You had laws proposed in GOP states to declare the legislature could pick whatever electors they wanted ignoring their voters. You had people running for non-partisan election administration positions promising they’ll make sure Republicans win, no matter what. They actively tried to send fake electors that particular cycle, even without any legal backing.

            So, in at least one scenario, congratulations, you successfully admonished Biden for his misbehavior, and now, we have at least as bad misbehavior, and maybe some unwinding of democracy to make sure we never get to influence foreign policy ever again.
