  • maybe theres something we dont know that justifies it, so its justified

    I’m not saying genocide is justified. I’m saying there is a lot we don’t know about the situation. We don’t have the intel, we don’t know what was said in private conversations between Biden and Netanyahu. Consider the fact that Hamas was using a hospital to store weapons. That means the hospital loses its protected status and bombing it isn’t a war crime according to the Geneva conventions. There is also inevitably a lot of propaganda. Maybe you are correct and Biden fully supports the genocide. I highly doubt that. It doesn’t negate my point that there is a lot about the situation that we don’t really know. Hamas sucks. Israel sucks. It’s a dumpster fire.


  • Am I the only one who believes we shouldn’t pin foreign policy

    We don’t have access to the same information they do, so we can’t easily judge their decision. The POTUS gets to have conversations with world leaders. These conversations convey attitudes, view points, and information we don’t have. They have the CIA, am ambassadors that are experts in the respective culture and country, and DIA that they get information from.

    For all we know, Israel was going to nuke Gaza and Biden talked them down. Also, I can all but guarantee Hamas would be doing worse if the roles were reversed:

  • Trump will go along with whatever Israel wants to do. If Hamas was in power, I can all but guarantee they would be doing the same shit, if not worse.

    ETA: I’m not advocating for what is going. I’m just rather pissed that so many people keep doing the counterproductive thing of using this as a reason to vote trump or sit this out. Considering that Trump is worse in this regard and with global warming, humanities only chance is to ramp up efforts like the US is a lost cause, because for the next 2 years at least, we are.
