    I’m rejecting your notion that the genocide can be made worse as baseless. You can’t fill a bucket that’s already full, regardless of how much more water you pour into it.

    It’s full scale genocide. Nothing is inhibiting Israel, Biden is giving them everything they want already.

    They have enough guns, they have enough bombs, they have enough soldiers, they completely control every entrance into Gaza. They control the water, the food, the stopping of aid. They are shooting people indiscriminately in the streets, in hospitals, bombing them in safe zones, pushing them into mass graves.

    They have destroyed all the hospitals, all the schools, all the homes, all the infrastructure. They’ve killed all the press, they’ve bulldozed all the cemetaries. Children who’ve lost their entire families areliterally laying down, hoping to get run over by a car or killed.

    That’s how hopeless the genocide is in Gaza right now. Don’t talk to me about vague “worse” options, as if that will give me a reason to ignore what’s being done.

    You can’t actually offer up anything except “Maybe the American-made and delivered bullet that kills a Palestinian will be shot out of a gun held by a US soldier instead of and IDF soldier”. That means nothing to me, it’s immaterial to the real concern.

      So if the hundreds of thousands of Jews that lived in the UK were also put in the ovens, that wouldn’t have been as worse as the six million who already were.

      That is what you are saying?

            Palestinians, apparently, yes. That’s the whole problem.

            You want me to believe it’s ok to off-shore the consequences of our political failings, I just don’t accept that as a viable way towards changing the problem of zionism in the Democratic party.

              You just told me saving one life in the holocaust wasn’t worth it. Is saving one Palestinian life worth it? Is one Palestinian life in 2024 worth more than one Jewish life in 1939?
