Trump asked Bibi to CONTINUE THE GENOCIDE FOR HIS POLITICAL GAIN but you're not concerned by that unfortunate tidbit. No siree.
Here you go, dum dum.
Yeah, that's because Linkerbaan actively wants Palestinians to suffer.
It is known.
I thought you guys hate whataboutism.
I thought we're all anti genocide. Guess I'm wrong.
Then why are you defending the people perpetrating a genocide?
I'd love for you to cite where I've defended genocide.
You're changing the subject when people bring up Democrats doing it by bringing up Trump even though Biden has been the one enabling it for the last 10 months. And you're arguing with other people trying to criticize the enablers of the genocide elsewhere in this thread.
So, no example then. Just don't like what I'm sayin'? Texas-sized 10.4 lil buddy.
P.S. Dems aren't torpedoing the talks. Trump is.
Only when used for dnc/dems criticism apparently
I say Trump is a horrible piece of shit interfering in peace talks, and y'all hear a defense of Biden. Sad and weird.
Because it's a whataboutism in response to the current un ambassador.
The whataboutism was bringing up the UN ambassador in the first place. My original comment that they replied to had no mention of the UN or ambassadors.
You're saying ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield in this post works for Trump?
No they're accurately calling out your fraudulency.
You going to back that up or…?
They start very early in the morning (around 9am in Eastern Europe) every day posting, always about Palestine, half the time about how it's all Democrats' fault. They have never called out Republicans for anything. Almost a year of post history doing this. See modlog for their many bans for posting misinformation.
First of all, what the fuck? And second of all, i don’t see why republicans should be brought up when democrats do something wrong. You are using whataboutism to justify… checks notes vetoing an investigation into war crimes and genocide. I don’t see any call to action to vote Republican here. If democrat actors don’t want to be called out for hypocritical evil, then they should not do evil and be hypocritical about it.
I was calling for Biden to step down from the election over how he handled Israel/Palestine, and i was right to do so! You don’t get a free pass to genocide because someone else would have done it harder, or because it happened to some ancestor.
The thing is that the Dems are in power right now. I don't have to criticise the AfD everytime the SPD or FDP say that the lives of refugees don't matter to them because everyone knows that they want the same thing but worse and they aren't in power yet.
Just because someone else is worse doesn't mean that you can't be criticised for your own actions.
Damn, Trump isn't even elected but got to decide UN security council vetoes.
Damn, Trump is a private citizen that's interfering with peace negotiations for personal gain.
"Here's some bombs. Please, try real fucking hard to not use them on civilians" is somehow worse than "KEEP THE KILLING GOING! I NEED IT TO FUCK WITH THE BLUE GUYS!"
Are you actually arguing that giving weapons that you know have been used to bomb kids before while asking not to do it is somehow different than just giving them anyway?
Are you arguing that continuing a tenuous political relationship with a longtime ally is somehow worse than encouraging said ally to continue killing civilians?
They already are bombing children l. How exactly could it get any worse because red team is in charge?
Jeez, that's a train of thought I'd rather not consider.
But this is bombing children with the pretext of guardrails. If the R's take it, then even the illusion of brakes are out the window. Gaza is bye bye then.
