    You keep changing the subject away from Nikki Haley’s call to genocide. But I’ll bite again. The key question for American voters who care about Gaza is whether Trump or Biden are going to be worse for the Palestinians, because the election is on a knife edge according to the polls. Which do you think would be worse?

      Biden and Netanyahu are currently perpetrating genocide. Haley is not.

      What did Never Again mean after the Holocaust? Did it mean nothing?

          Biden is currently committing genocide. Which is the worst crime there is.

          Trump would also commit genocide.

          Biden needs to change his policy on this drastically. Why won’t he? If he doesn’t, he loses.

            Personally, I think it’s the Israelis who are committing the genocide with America’s support from pretty much all of the Republicans and most of the Democrats, but you didn’t answer the question: Up to now, Trump has a slight lead in the polls. Who would be worse for the people of Gaza, Biden or Trump?

                You don’t admit any moral difference between trying to slow the killing down and trying to speed it up, and the reason is that you’re only pretending to care about Gaza what you really care about is discouraging left leaning voters from voting so that your guy Trump can win.

                You’ll deny it, I’m reasonably sure, but that’s the effect of your outright condemnation of Biden and your extreme head in the sand refusal to admit that the Republicans in general, and Trump in particular, are far more committed to the Israeli military and its aims, always have been and likely will be for decades to come.

                  Biden is not trying to slow the genocide down. He is funding it and arming it.

                  He is better than Trump on every other issue. There is no difference here on the issue of genocide

                    Factually incorrect:

                    Biden: Don’t bomb Rafah.
                    Trump: …

                    Biden: Cancels some of the armament shipments
                    Republicans: object loudly to Biden cancelling armament shipments

                    Biden: We should have a permanent ceasefire
                    Trump: PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas, his most definitive position on the conflict since the terror group killed 1,200 Israelis and took more than 200 hostages on Oct. 7.

                    The Republicans would accelerate it all. The Republicans share Israel’s aim to “finish them”.
