Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says victory in Gaza will mean the enclave being "entirely destroyed," Palestinians leaving for other countries.
What a joke. At the start of this genocide in late 2023 Blinken was floating the idea of “evacuating” the population of Gaza into Sinai. He distanced himself when it was clear Mahmoud Abbas would not agree to it.
There was a recent report that In 15 months Biden did precisely nothing to pressure Israel into a ceasefire to the extent that the Israelis “thanked god” for having such an obsequious President.
You and everyone who repeats the “I hope you’re happy now” really are not helping. You’re mad, I’m mad, but please please get your fill of catharsis/smug self righteousness elsewhere please, blaming non/voters isn’t going to rebuild the Obama coalition that delivered a supermajority in Congress. The Democrats lost the youth turnout, Palestine (Russian/astroturf bots or no) were not the sole factor but a sharp tipping point that laid out reality bare.
Im not at all surprised that young voters who became politically aware during the Obama era or later were gradually disenchanted and sat this round out; when you look at it from their timeline they did all the right democracy things and got shit on over and over
Organic enthusiasm for Bernie in the primary, sabotaged by superdelegates - your vote doesn’t matter, we pick not you plebs and in their mind that action brought Trump 2016
George Floyd’s livestreamed murder and BLM protests - no structural change or even federal police reform passed
The kids yet again come out and do the right thing by voting Biden in 2020, and watch more politicking and focus-tested soft liberalism rule the day. Rail strike busted. East Palestine spill without serious investigation or reform. Debt ceiling negotiations and kowtowing - everything will stay the same
Oct 7 happens, then the Israeli bombing campaign begins and Biden openly castigates activists and doubles down on supplying the IDF - how dare you plebs question your leader
Protests persist, organize and clearly make their demands known, even send a warning shot in the primary… receiving only empty words from leadership - they are not going to do what you want
The DNC platforms two Jewish parents of a Hamas hostage at the convention, but refuses to allow a Dem Rep to speak with pre-vetted remarks - we don’t even want to hear from you
And nothing substantial happened that might change their mind. Kamala rode that same trajectory through her campaign, even as VP she had a harder stance on Israel that suddenly evaporated once she was appointed the nominee.
Its genocide - the crime of all crimes - and the Democratic Party refused to seriously discuss the topic in public. I cannot seriously blame them for giving up on a party that refused to listen to them in good faith, and disappointed them time after time. That’s on the DNC for throwing that demographic away, and we need to recognize that. They’re not voting for Republicans ffs but they’ve received the message that they and their vote, isn’t important to the Democrats.
Anyone denying the clear signals of despair from young voters is coping. Idk why anyone is getting mad at people demanding progress from dems at a time when there’s no risk of electoral losses - makes me think those people are actually just carrying water for ani-reform neoliberal fascists.
Fucking yes. I cannot believe we’re even having this argument. Nothing comes close.
Or the genocide starting in America of people with skin the same color as I have
I am absolutely not trying to downplay the barbarity and wanton cruelty of the Trump administration’s policies, but what we’ve seen so fardoesn’t match the definition. Extrajudicial disappearances and zero due process for perceived or actual migrants is not the same thing as genocide. There’s no forced sterilization, rote murder, mass displacement, or deliberate attempt to destroy a collective people. CECOT is an overseas concentration camp, not a death camp - yet.
? I’ve seen plenty of talk about the situation in Ukraine, Sudan and Kenia. Maybe your instance doesn’t federate with the instances where those discussions happen?
Palestine is a notable one because it’s perpetrated by our “ally” and it’s also very high in civilian casualties. And I really don’t say that to minimise any of the other atrocities going on.
I’ve seen a lot of mentions of other genocides on my instance, but what’s notable about the Palestinian genocide is that the US and the western world is directly involved in it.
Typically when I see this complaint it’s paired with a general vibe of wanting to deflect attention away from western atrocities. Not that I know enough to accuse you of that, but still.
Dude. I can name from memory the list of war crimes and genocidal acts that Russia has done, they’re on a speed run in their aggressive war of conquest. Bucha, Mariupol, perferdy, executing PoWs, torture, the kidnapped children being raised as Russian, deliberate bombing of civilians, Russification of the Donbas, chemical weapons use, the list goes on.
But the severity is not the same. Gazans can’t seek safety in western Ukraine, they have no missile defenses, they’re being deliberately starved to death as collective punishment, and are being kept inside a war zone by complete military encirclement and occupation.
They are, I got them out of the country when the redneck filth took over.
I voted against Genocide, 2 genocides, sorry I don’t give a shit about the specific one you seem obsessed about, but I’m also pretty sure the ones I care about are a hell of a lot bigger.
Also, I knew a lot of the people I voted to stop the genocide of, which is why I care so much.
^ This is what forum sliding looks like disguised as progressive concern. Block and move on
edit: I’m pointing out right wing propaganda and I get downvoted? Fuck every one of you and I’m not putting in any more effort to keep the shit out of lemmy
I literally cannot find anything about “forum sliding” that isn’t re-re-re-reposts of the same text - and they’re almost universally tinfoil hat or ‘freethinker’ faux intellectual dross. If you’re that paranoid go read my comment history, it’s all public lol
If you want to live in a hugboxed information bubble where your ideas never get challenged, you can do that. But reality will come crashing through eventually.
Maybe people wouldn’t call him “Genocide Joe” if he hadn’t backed a genocide. I always find it amazing that people blame the voters, instead of blaming the people with the power, the platform, and the money, who chose genocide over winning the election.
I always find it amazing that people blame the voters
I think people are blaming the people who didn’t vote. They thought they were sending the message “I don’t like genocide”, but that was ignorant of them.
The message they sent was “Eh, either is fine. I’m fine with Trump or Harris. Whatever”. And then they took the moral high ground for doing so.
Which I also find understandable. I disagree with non-voters, but if both choices are terrible, and fight against what you want, I understand why people wouldn’t want to vote.
The proper way to communicate an opinion that “both choices are terrible” is to make your way to the polling station and either vote for something other than those two bad choices, or to decline or spoil your ballot.
Not voting says “I can’t be bothered to make the effort; anything is fine”.
People think it means “Give me something other than these two”, but it takes more effort to communicate that message.
Political activism requires effort, and it requires effort the right way. Not voting is political inaction.
I mostly agree with you, which is why I voted 3rd party, and I still recommend that others vote. But voting can take a lot of time and effort, which most people are short on. I think a lot of people would vote, if they thought their vote counted, but with the two major parties we have, it clearly doesn’t.
I see it as less of “I can’t be bothered to make the effort; anything is fine”, and more of “Both of you fight against what I want, why would I bother”
I’m not sure thats true. Many people had legitimate concerns that Biden was backing a genocide. I’ve never seen any stats showing that they were right-wing posts. Plenty of left-wing people were mad about that as well.
Hillary won the popular vote when she ran. I think most people abstained because Harris was a terrible candidate, who ran on terrible policies that went against what the voter-base wanted.
Americans of every race made their choice in 2024 and there’s no point in speculating what the losing party would have done.
The reality is what it is and we’re under Trump now.
As long as those Americans understand what their vote was for and can live with it, that’s what matters and I’m 100% okay with my vote and I can live with it.
More importantly, as a non-white American watching a genocide start at home, it very much matters who and what people voted (or didn’t vote) for.
What really pisses me off is people saying democrats would have been just as bad, while we watch people drug off by thugs in black body armor to El Salvador to die without due process.
I think it’s safe to speculate that that wouldn’t have happened under the alternative.
Yeah as a brown immigrant also in the US…get over it. This was inevitable; were just speedrunning it. I know you’re hurting and want to expel that pain, but you really need to figure out how to channel it into something constructive instead of whining on the Internet.
I’m trying to understand where you are coming from. In the general elections, I voted for Harris and Clinton after voting against them in primaries. The thing about voting and elections is that there are hundreds of variables involved, and focusing on one to pin blame on a sliver of the electorate doesn’t seem like thoughtful analysis or productive to an oppositional cause.
You can point to turnouts and results from specific counties until your finger dries up and falls off, but that only highlights a neglect regarding myriad other factors that contribute to results. My opinion is that the Harris campaign ran the race the way they thought best and they lost. They lost. Sure, in sense we all lost, but they were the ones driving the bus.
We aren’t children without agency, they aren’t singers on American idol.
They had policy manifestos, they were explicit about them.
And the voices screaming to ignore everything else and focus only on Palestine as the only variable that mattered, in unison, with almost perfect resonance with Russian troll farms (curious given Russia’s close ties with both Iran and hamas in the lead up to october 7, and their use of Gaza to distract the west from support for Ukraine).
We’re being played like puppets, and nobody is willing to admit there are malicious actors at work who benefit.
Or… It could be that people have lost faith in the Democratic party. Look at their current approval rating. Look at Biden’s terrible presidency. Look at Biden and Harris’ terible campaigns. Look at the issues and policies that they ran on. All of that pushed people away from them based on the polling.
It’s easy to blame foreign influence, but it’s more productive to figure out why the supposedly left party ran to the right, and alienated their voting base. Did the Russian try to influence the election? Of course, I’d be surprised if they didn’t. But from what I saw, the Demcrats did more damage to themselves than the Russians could have hoped for.
This is about America, you’re trying to make American politics all about Palestine, to the point you literally sacrificed America for Palestine.
The party knew genocide was unpopular and went ahead with their support anyway. They sacrificed America for netanyahu and cannot imagine ever doing anything else.
I sent my family to civilization when I saw this shit coming miles away.
I’m not scared.
I’m pissed and in the mood to start shit.
I’m empathetic for the other millions of brown people who aren’t as fortunate, who you seem fine with watching get exterminated like the monster you are.
We won’t even have real elections by then. your moral high ground is fucking worthless, when it garuntees minorities are just going to die. The “I’m gonna stand here and make sure you don’t win in protest” only works when the other answer isn’t straight up facism. Sure Democrats aren’t and won’t ever be progressive, but that’s because this country lacks a progressive party. And the time to create one was many years ago.
The reason people like you can unironically think this fine is because the fascists won’t come for you. You can fucking sit there with your goofy ass smirk while I’m sure I’ll be right after immigrants on my way to some camp.
You honestly act like what’s happening in Gaza would be worse with her. And as a result you really feel like just letting as many atrocities as possible happen is for the benefit of everyone globally. I can’t take yall seriously
The only people I’m deeply frustrated by are the ones hand wringing about why people didn’t vote the way they wanted, and hand wave how dogshit Kamala was.
If there isn’t a choice in whether the genocide support happens, I prefer the US to weaken and isolate itself globally by kneecaping its relations with other western nations.
If I said, I prefer Nazi Germany to not have allies while they are committing the final solution, I think you would understand why I have this position.
The genocide in America (of course, mostly of brown people, so don’t let that trouble you, it’s more of a concern for people like me and my family), the genocide in Ukraine, again, not your problem…
Glad you’ve decided only 1 genocide matters, the rest, meh, not worth your time.
To all those who stood up against “Genocide Joe”:
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
Know that your internet slacktivism has made a lasting difference in the world, and the JIDF thanks you for your service.
What a joke. At the start of this genocide in late 2023 Blinken was floating the idea of “evacuating” the population of Gaza into Sinai. He distanced himself when it was clear Mahmoud Abbas would not agree to it.
There was a recent report that In 15 months Biden did precisely nothing to pressure Israel into a ceasefire to the extent that the Israelis “thanked god” for having such an obsequious President.
https://israelpalestinenews.org/biden-officials-admit-they-never-pressured-israel-for-ceasefire/
He did however give them everything they needed for the extermination campaign and blocked every Security Council resolution.
He also set the stage for demonising students. 4 university heads were removed for tolerating Palestine protestors.
The only difference between Trump and Biden with respect to the genocide is that Trump isnt hiding behind crocodile tears.
Stop trying to memory hole Biden. We haven’t forgotten.

…
Dodged right around the mass graves?
The kidnapped children?
The destruction of culture through russification?
I don’t quite understand your argument here, all of those crimes fall under the umbrella term of genocide as well.
Yet the only ‘genocide’ lemmy will talk about is palestine.
? I’ve seen plenty of talk about the situation in Ukraine, Sudan and Kenia. Maybe your instance doesn’t federate with the instances where those discussions happen?

The cope of liberals thinking that Kamela ‘most lethal military’ Harris was going to be any different on foreign policy are brain dead.
I didn’t expect her to be any different on this. My voting was based on differences in domestic policy.
I respect that stance.
The only people I’m deeply frustrated by are the ones hand wringing about why people didn’t vote the way they wanted, and hand wave how dogshit Kamala was.
Compared to the 5d megabrain who thinks she would have threatened to invade Greenland and Canada while making friends with Russia.
Honestly I prefer that. Isolating the empire and getting the rest of the world against the country facilitating genocide is good to me.
Accelerationism has historically never ended well.
So wait, you want the US to oppose genocide, or you want them to commit more so everyone hates them?
You have to pick one.
If there isn’t a choice in whether the genocide support happens, I prefer the US to weaken and isolate itself globally by kneecaping its relations with other western nations.
If I said, I prefer Nazi Germany to not have allies while they are committing the final solution, I think you would understand why I have this position.
