Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine?
Lauchs@lemmy.world 4 days agoThat’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.

It’s privilege to say “Trust me it can get worse even as an extermination campaign is underway and other countries are being invaded”.
The escalations that are coming in the next few months would have happened with Harris as well. Both political parties have made it abundantly clear that Israel can do whatever it wants. There are no red lines for them.

It’s not even privilege, just wildly ignorant or childish to see something horrible and decide “yup, can’t get worse than that!”
If you literally don’t understand that trump and Harris will have very different red lines, you don’t know enough to talk about this.

Buddy what part of the genocide of the Palestinians is already happening do you not understand? You want to sit there and say that Trump will genocide them even harder? The delusion of saying “Trust me, Harris will save the Palestinians” when she vocalized nothing but staunch support of Israel is what led the Democrats to lose all the Arab voters. The genocide of the Palestinians is already underway and Harris has made jt clear she doesn’t intend on stopping it.

The older you get, the more you’ll realize it’s okay and even a good idea to just say “I don’t really know about this.”
To say that Harris and trump mean the same thing for the Palestinians is outright nonsensical. Some of the Israeli ministers (notably Smotrich) have been very explicit about the fact that trump’s win, among other things, makes annexation of the West Bank much more likely.
There’s a lot of background that you kind of really have to be in the weeds to catch but if you’ve been reading Foreign Policy and others, you’d know that while the Biden administration ought to have done more, there were still some red lines (annexation, hitting Iranian oil/nuclear facilities etc.) With trump in charge, it’s unclear which if any red lines still exist.
It’s a humanitarian crisis but to claim that Harris and trump mean the same thing is as downright silly as you can get. Saying things that are patenly nonsensical makes you look pretty danged silly.
