    Are you going to start Muslim-bashing as well if they don’t turn out in huge numbers to vote for Joenicide?

    I don’t do the muslim bashing thing, but I do think the TikTok influencers convincing impressionable youth that A) there’s a genocide happening (it’s not) and B) not voting will make things better.

    Foreign policy is foreign policy. Global interests don’t change on a dime. The main difference between Biden and Trump is that Trump would be cheerleading Netanyahu and telling him he shouldn’t be doing targetted airstrikes but instead carpet bomb entire neighborhoods. The US woulb be making zero effort in negotiating a ceasefire and there would not be a pier built to help distribute food.

    Only an idiot would think that demanding the faculty of a university to do someone the bring about the end of a foreign conflict will accomplish anything. But the point of these pro-palestinian movements isn’t to accomplish anything, it’s all performative. It’s just a reason to hang out in a tent with some friends and get social media clout.

    Anyone with half a brain that actually cared about Palestinians would be voting for Biden and doing everything they could to get him re-elected because it’s obvious how much worse things will be for Palestinians with Trump as President. Like how much do you think Trump will do to help in reconstruction of Gaza after the war is over?

    But the Pro-Palestinian movement is mostly performative and they don’t really care about Palestinians. If more Palestinians die, it’ll be a good reason to have more fun get-togethers to “protest”, more money to be made for TikTok influencers, and more donations to terrorist factions in Palestine. The suffering of Palestinians is very profitable for a lot of people.

    Joe Biden cares more about Palestinians than you do.
