Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine?

  I’m not a kid and I’m not wrong in saying the genocide is currently underway with full support of the Biden administration and the overall Democratic party.

    Both claims are debatable.

    Do you think things won’t get worse under trump? Or do you think some 50,000 dead a year is the worst Israel can do?

      The claim that Isrsel is currently performing a genocide on the Palestinians is not debatable. They have cut off the entirety of Northern Gaza and started executing everyone they see on site. They besieged the only remaining hospital there several times and imprisoned all but a couple of the staff. They are deliberately trying to starve the population and even went so far as banning the UNRWA, which is the only agency capable of keeping the Palestinians alive. And do you think that once they finish there they’ll stop? They will continue with the rest of Gaza once they are done. They’ve even started attacking and demolishing homes in the West Bank as well. And they’re trying to invade Lebanon as well like they have tried to in the past.

      Saying things will get worse under Trump is pointless. The genocide is underway, and it’s been blessed by the Biden administration as well as the Democratic party. Harris has made it clear she doesn’t plan on deviating from this course. So I stand by previous statement, Harris would not have saved them. Either one as president, the Palestinians die.

        That’s a wildly privileged set of statements. Declaring that a bad thing id happening and it doesn’t matter if it gets worse, goddamn kid.

  Don’t tell other people to read anything when it’s perfectly clear you don’t know what the fuck you are gibbering about.

  You should read a few good books as well. Might I suggest:

  On Palestine by Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappé, and Frank Barat

  The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates

  A Dying Colonialism by Frantz Fanon

  Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman

  Actual journalists like Mehdi Hasan at Zeteo and Amy Goodman at Democracy Now! are doing excellent work on this issue.

    Manufacturing consent is one of my favourites!
