No more Islamophobia if there aren’t Islamic people any more 🤷‍♂️ /s

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

This is Peak Liberalism. Saying this while genociding them.

"we SEE you, we HEAR you, but Israel needs money . . ."

[–] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 57 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If you aren't anti-arab a nice gesture might be to stop murdering them.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

But there is a lot of water in Lebanon. Israel wants that.

[–] machinin@lemmy.world 97 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

Stop enabling the genocide? Please?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 51 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law....

Israel won't comply, which means we legally can't provide arms. Kamala doesn't even have to be "the bad guy", she can just say she's choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.

It's really as easy as saying:

If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.

Boom, election locked up.

How many voters would she lose if she declared intent to stop assisting Isreal?

She might possibly gain a few, but would she lose any?

[–] antimurikan@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 hour ago

Genosiders should not be allowed to vote.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

Is not about voters, it's about money. Both parties are bribed to keep it going.

[–] cecinestpasunbot@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 hours ago

She would likely gain voters because she would be distinguishing herself from Biden who remains deeply unpopular.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

This is THE potential problem with this

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, I would hope there are more anti-genocide voters but i doubt it, honestly.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 8 hours ago

She'd gain more than she'd lose, even before counting in the electoral college. Conditioning Israeli aid is supported by the majority of people of Democrats, Republicans and independents, and the people who don't want it don't care too much either way. Definitely not more than left wingers who want the genocide to stop. In terms of votes it's a no brainer.

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

Not those islams!

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Best they can do is thoughts and prayers. Oh wait, that was school shootings. Never mind then.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

School bombings don't qualify.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 12 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Israelis don't have the guts to even look the children in their eyes as they slaughter them. Cowards.

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

When they actually face real soldiers like in Southern Lebanon they get their arses handed to them.

All they know is blow up pager, burn refugee camp, bomb hospitals, shoot pregnant women in belly, rape men to death, and sniper bullets in kid’s heads.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz -4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

It's much more respectable to mob a peace music festival and kill the kids there.

[–] antimurikan@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

That is what happens when you put people in a litteral reserve / ghetto. They get desperate and murdery. Fuck around find out as they say lmao

When the indians were taking scalps, they were defending their territory against a foreign invasion that severely outgunned them (thanks to usury / capitalism that the protestant broke out from the church for).

The same thing happened here. Fuck the colonizers. Ship them back west.

[–] Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago

Implying that the only two options are supporting Israel committing genocide or Hamas committing terrorism is like straight out of of the Israeli regime's playbook.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

machinin was thrown out of a window

Anybody? Any solution will do, cmon people

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Peak liberalism

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Setting aside the hypocrisy, is it just me or is it infuriating how the whole article is a whole lot of nothing?

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Did you even read it? It states literally 20 bullets on how the Executive Branch will combat racism.

[–] antimurikan@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 hour ago

Fight racism for arab-americans. If you are a normal arab, well enjoy your white phosphorus.

Americans are a disgusting bunch.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 25 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, good luck with that. Islamophobia is one of Trump's tentpoles.

[–] basmati@lemmus.org 1 points 9 hours ago

It also happens to be one of Harris' tent poles.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

wtf is wrong with these people!

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 hours ago

Fucking pathetic.

This is pure Liberal brainrot, sometimes reality feels like a parody of itself. I dont even have much to say tbh, im too tired for this bs.
