I mean what do you call someone who supports right wing policies and does war crimes then?
How did Harris "do war crimes"? Did she give orders to the IDF? Is she a member of the Israeli government?
It took a while before the international community sort of acknowledged this war was a genocide. Israel always has been great at playing the victim, and has always been under the protection of the US. In this context, the US government under Biden provided support, as it often does. Many other states did, and still do.
My point is, the whole fucking world is complicit. Is everyone a war criminal now? Should we be using this to drive yet another wedge among the left?
how?
SHE SUPPORTED AMERICA’S INVOLVEMENT FROM HER POSITION OF POWER. Stop being a bootlicking piece of shit for one second and you’ll realize it’s OK to call her what she is: a goddamned criminal.
You'll do anything to justify the genocide all centrists dearly love.
Sure she did. BeHiNd ThE sCeNeS.
No it isn't. Do you also support sending weapons and money to Russia? Would you have supported it for Nazi Germany? Do you really not appreciate the insanity of saying "it's possible to oppose the holocaust while also supporting sending troops to guard the death camp!"
no. it is not. to support israel is to support genocide. from its inception it’s been genocide the entire time. it is ok for things to feel uncomfortable but that’s how you progress. genocide bad. ok?
KHAMAAS!!!
Israel created hamas, trough hundred years of genocide and occupation. It is a Zionist settler colonial project created in image of the USA. Hamas are a reaction to exactly that, it is a resistance shaped by generations of genocide, discrimination and persecution. Israel stole the land of Palestine and now wishes to expand towards Lebanon and Syria. And they won't stop, they are the stronghold of the US interests in the region, they are supported by both parties.
Not only Harris supported defensive weapons but also offensive weapon. Don't you think giving gaza defensive arms would also save palestinian lives too? Would you also have supported Nazi getting weapons from your country while they comited genocide? The occupying forces and grnocidal state shouldn't have sny right to self defence
It sounds so simple, it must really be simple.
It is
It is simple to not go to an aipac event and not to promise uncondtional support.
Simple or not is beside the point anyway
It is not. She accepted a position of power that require to fix complex issues so people has the right to critisize just like a parent can critisize a terrible teachers that not do her job correctly
People who accept a position knowing full well its complexity should be held accountable if they fail to perform. Your logic is like when a parent complains about a terrible teacher, and the teacher—or their supporters—responds, “If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you try being a teacher yourself?”
Your logic is so dumb and pathetic
You sound so simple.
