Genocide.

I haven’t voted on 118 yet. It’s the only bit unfilled. Not sure which way I’ll go. Probably no, and then walk the ballot to a Dropbox in my neighborhoods library.

No, they aren’t. That literally is nowhere in their post.

You either didn’t read it all, or you’re lying, or you have poor reading comprehension skills.

I doubt it’s the latter for a mod on a text based platform.

P.S. I’m an admin on a fairly large platform for a fairly large group. When the group took off, I started interacting on it a LOT less because my moderation responsibilities (which also increased with the groups growth, why are so many people just blatant assholes or trolls?) required that people view me as impartial and unbiased.

Choosing to engage frequently in controversial topics and using straw man arguments against posts that literally don’t say anything related to what you say they say is certainly… a choice… for a mod to make.

Don’t get me wrong, I miss my ability to interact with the group I admin like a normal person, but my duties to the group take precedence. I understand the desire, but there are other options.

Responding to multiple unprovoked acts of war from Israel is not aggression.

Bombing a countries embassy in a third party nation is an act of war.

Assassinating a visiting ambassador in Iran’s capital is an act of war.

The only reason Iran didn’t respond to the first is because the US promised them a peace deal.

Edit:

No, they can’t, because they aren’t engaging in the genocide and Israel doesn’t need our help to commit it.

American support is essential to the Israeli state, in response to aggression from Iran and other sources which is why we continue to provide it, it’s NOT essential to the genocide, which Israel is fully capable and willing to commit with their own resources.

Which is it? Are they committing a genocide or not?

Israel absolutely can’t do this without our weapons.

This is an objective provable fact.

Why do you believe that Israel ended every other war of aggression when there US forced them to end it.

Where do you think their money for weapons comes from?

Where do you think their weapons comes from?

I can’t tell it you’re lying intentionally to justify genocide, lying unintentionally because you are just fantastically uninformed about the regions history, or just flat out delusional.

Whatever the reason, you’re wrong. Biden could end this with a single phone call. You know, like has happened multiple times in the past. Because even if you don’t want to acknowledge the truth, Israel is aware of its absolute dependence on America.

Now onto the genocide bit. Actually, I can’t. At this point it is so blindingly obvious it is it’s like trying to argue with someone claiming the sun doesn’t exist.

I’m revising my opinion about your choice to lie about how much control the US has over Israeli adventurism.

I’d bet money you voted against measure 117.

This is provably a lie.

They can end the genocide right now. Implying that they can’t is trying (and failing) to provide them cover for committing a genocide. And yes, continuing to provide weapons to the grunts doing the work doesn’t absolve them of the moral responsibility for it, nor does it provide them enough cover to pretend that genocide isn’t the outcome they want.

So… Both parties then?

Edit: both parties support this genocide 100%.

If you want to differentiate between Trump and Harris, you need to use a different policy position to do so. Gaza isn’t it.

This isn’t ‘A cousin’ situation.

I have multiple friends who’ve lost the entirety of their extended families.

Aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and grandparents gone in a day.

The jackasses going around calling people ‘entitled’ for not supporting the party directly responsible for erasing their entire families from existence are entitled to be able to go through life with absolutely no empathy or imagination.

No, it isn’t.

The only gymnastics someone is doing here is trying to tie a stupid domestic politician to a much greater foreign policy evil THAT HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH. He also didn’t have anything to do with the Armenian genocide, and bringing him up in that context would be as relevant as bringing him up in this context.

Again, this isn’t hard to understand.

…

RFK Jr. Is a crazy fuck. He also isn’t relevant to this topic at all.

Bringing him up in this context is literally providing cover to the people responsible for this moral failure, and tying it to someone who, while bad and crazy, has no particular relationship to this topic.

This isn’t hard to understand.

Most people that claim they will move haven’t actually looked at what is required from other countries and wouldn’t be accepted If they tried to move.

I think you meant CIA, as mentioned by others.

Are the tankies in the room with us right now?

Do you know what a tankie is other than ‘someone to the left of genocide’?

The OP literally posted only two other posts and they’re both about the lies Israel published about the ‘command center’ underneath Al-Shifa.

Good job not addressing the main important point of the post you’re responding to, namely the absolute reliability of the Gaza Health Ministries numbers.

You try and throw uncertainty about the death toll by linking the Health Ministry to …Hezbollah… to try and discredit the numbers. The numbers that basically EVERYONE at this point (except for people who are biased to the point of any unwillingness to believe, you know, fucking reality) accepts as rock solid.

Actually address that point. It’s the basis for all of your comments in this thread. The foundation, if you will.

Someone that confuses two entirely different governments, with two different armies , and two different fucking religions knows nothing about the region and doesn’t deserves words in any replies.

Correcting hezbollah/hamas after the fact still indicates your awareness or knowledge of the situation, regardless of any “I don’t know what I was thinking” you add in an edit.

Just a reminder that Voice of America is literally a paid for propaganda outlet of the US.

Given what I’ve seen you moderate in news on Lemmy.world, I wouldn’t be so quick to accuse others of letting their biases impact how they treat things that go against their world view.
