The genocide in Gaza was enabled by the Biden administration and continues with Trump. Deceptive of you to pretend that the Democratic Party is better on this. The Biden administration vetoed ceasefire multiple times at the UN.
I didn't suggest that the dems are better on this. Just that trumps regime doing the same thing is more accepted here. Are you suggesting that the situation would be better if a different US president was in place at that time?
No, it is not accepted here.
No, and that's the point everyone here is trying to make. Both parties are the same except for rhetoric and optics.
After winning the Nobel peace prize, Obama dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.
Not meaningfully, and that's precisely the point. You're arguing for contradictory stances from one comment to the next because to believe Democrats aren't fascists too is logically inconsistent.
We do not accept the genocide, whether Trump, Biden, or Harris is in office. The situation would not be better with any of those 3 in office, because the genocide isn't a personal preference of whoever sits in the White House but instead a systemic aspect of Israel's settler-colonial project.
