Okay, but, abandon her for whom exactly? Just not vote? Vote 3rd party? I am not going to say Harris is perfect, but this is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Third Party, tyically, that's what most anti-genocide groups are advocating for.

Many of the candidates from alternative parties are anti-genocide.

The article says Trump directly. Read the interviews and about his new campaign office in hamtramck.

At this point (3 weeks before elections) if she comes out against the genocide, it's obvious it's just a career move and not her actual feelings. It will be business as usual afterward.

Apparently this is what her supporters want. As long as they can convince themselves to FEEL like she didn't want to aid in genocide, that's all that matters.

People here are already claiming that she's secretly against Israel and will flip once she wins, they're in for a surprise (if they're even being genuine).

Both parties are beholden to Israel and the power of AIPAC

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 day ago

Other way around. Both parties support Israel because Israel helps secure the Petro-Dollar, by which the US dominates the Global South with predatory IMF loans.

And it's the cork on land migration out of Africa into West Asia and eventually Europe.

And it's strategically important for the Red Sea trade route connecting Asia to the Mediterranean (although they're having a little trouble with this one lol)

And it's the laboratory for surveillance and detainment and border walls, where they can live test technology and strategies that get exported to prisons and borders and cities around the West.

And it's a place for antisemitic governments to send all their Jewish citizens.

And, of course, there's a large apocalyptic cult of Christians that believe we need to immanentize the eschaton so Jesus can return.

Israel serves so many functions!
