The worst part is the helplessness the electorate has to stop it. Can we get some democratic candidates who are anti-genocide?
there is no such thing as an anti-genocide politician. getting elected in the first place implies giving up your moral objection to state violence
This is an absurd take. Under this “logic” there is literally no way to be anti-genocide. If you are elected, you cannot be anti-genocide because of some convoluted imputed condoning of state violence, so that leaves it to violent revolutionary change to fix the state, which is intrinsically a testament to “state violence” of it succeeds. Your urge to be cynical and lazy has lead you into a nihilist paradox and serves no value to anyone, including yourself.
this is the problem with liberal propaganda. it brainwashes people into thinking electoralism is where change happens. literally every single anti-genocide movement happened because people took direct action against the state. events like the Haitian revolution, the black power movement, queer liberation. politicians co-opt the discourse on the ground and then whitewash history into making people believe they’re the ones who gave people their rights out of the kindness of their hearts or something
US president in the past picked up the phone and said to israel “Stop” when it becomes too obvious. There are candidate who are ant genocide such as Bernie Sanders
Bernie is a liberal Zionist. he still supports the existence of Israel after seeing all these decades of genocide

Israel itself is relatively democratic
No. It’s literally an apartheid ethnostate where Jewish people having more rights than anyone else is enforced by laws and by military force.
even at the best of times the country’s been rather aggressive towards its non-Jewish neighbors/cohabitants.
That’s the understatement of the century! Minimize heinous crimes against humanity much?
I guess they’ll just have to wait for the next election
It’s been almost 80 years of non stop oppression, ethnic cleansing and genocide. The next government isn’t going to stop doing what Israel was founded to do.
Not just neighbours, Israel has always been funding terrorist organisations in different countries across the map.
Relatively democratic, if you’re Jewish.

The abomination that is Israel and the United States of America fills me with pity for the contemptible fate of humanity.
“Again.”
Israel does not care - for them, any dead Palestinian is a success. If an actual Hamas member is among the dead, it is a bonus, nothing more.
Fucking horrific.
