What 1000 year conflict? The nakba was less than a century ago. Plus "please stop giving 2000 pound bombs to Israel to commit a genocide with" is a very far cry from "please end the Israeli apartheid state".

Stop killing Palestinians is such a far left position man. I can't even. Americans are effing weird.
I really can't understand why people fail to get this.
I'm not one of the withhold-voting, or vote 3rd party people, but I think it's probably driven by deep moral disgust of both parties preventing people from being able to willingly vote for Hitler 1 over Hitler 2. As an extreme example (which probably is the case for some Americans, but not "significant electorally"), if I was a Palestinian-American, and had many family members killed by weapons supplied under Biden's orders, I probably wouldn't be able to bring myself to vote for his number-2, even if I thought it was the lesser-evil. People have different levels of emotional empathy, and different principles and philosophies. Refusing to participate in an unjust system is a valid stance.
I'd say "Russian trolls", but there's no saying they are Russian. The view on Lemmy a few months ago was pretty homogenous - whatever happens, Kamala is lightyears ahead of Trump on anything related to sanity. Then suddenly the "Jill Stein is a russian shill" narrative came, followed by "A vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide" (while everything points to the fact that Kamala is the best option for deescalation as far as the US ballot box options go).
The multiple typos in Harris's statement point to the author either being lazy or trying to portray her as an idiot
what typos? only thing i noticed is them using "excerpt" instead of "exert".
or did you forget the /s ?
"hotbead"
What is a hotbead, exactly?
Or did you forget the /s?
No reason to get snarky, I was genuinely asking.
Fair enough, I didn't catch that one. Okay so that's a grand total of 2, which imo is still neither as plentiful nor as bad as your comment made them out to be - but I suppose that is subjective.
If you found my comment snarky, look at your own for a minute.
the israeli declaration of independence was 76 years ago
The conflict between ethnic groups is much older though.
Ah yes, opposing genocide is a radical far-left position. Of course.
Sadly in American politics it is, if you support anti-imperialism or the end of capitalism tyranny that makes you a radical leftist (according to the shit libs). I say we wear that as a bage of honor, I am a proud radical leftist.
