This is completely unrelated, but now is a good time to get into shooting paintball guns at pieces of circular glass about 2 cm in diameter.

So let me get this straight… Your position is that instead of being a pawn of the Democrats who are at least pushing back against Israel
That is not what is happening. It is the exact opposite: Democratic politicians presided over and supported this genocide with near-unanimous agreemeny with one another. Israel, again, receives unconditional material and diplomatic support from the Biden-Harris regime.
I think I was clear on this, so you are really juat revealing your own lack of familiarity.
I should instead be a pawn of the Republicans
Am I telling you to use Republicans’ thought-terminating clichés? Am I telling you to vote for Republicans as if they are a lesser evil?
Maybe you should ask me more about what I am saying because you are taking serious liberties.
Israel knows if they just cut loose, they would face repercussions from the rest of the world,
Israel already cut loose. They are ethnically cleansing Gaza, reinvading and bombing parts of the West Bank, invadjng and bombing entire neighborhoods in Lebanon, and trying to pick a fight with Iran. The “rest of the world” is nearly unanimously against Israel on paper, with the process held up by the US and some of its lapdogs, though of course Europe also wants in on the imperialist action.
You are already seeing what the rest of the world can do when Israel cuts loose. It is shamefully little, but we should also take inspiration from those who do stand up. From the Palestinian resistance. From allied grouos in Syria and Iraq. From Iran. From Hezbollah. From Yemen. And from South Africa for doing nearly all of the work re: the ICJ.
The US is the dominant superpower and it supports Israel to the hilt. Work to undermine it so that the scakes can be tipped.
What do you think will happen to Palestine as a country
Palestine is not internationally recognized as a country. Palestine is an invaded and occupied regikn, with its people facing settler colonial genocide by ethnic supremacists.
if Trump succeeds in removing all the guardrails
What guardrails? Again, Isrsel has unconditional material support from the US. They recently murdered an American in thr West Bank and the US is giving is the “investigation pending” slow walk. None of “the rules”, even the unwritten American exceptionalist ones, apply.
and gets to fulfill his wet dream of being a dictator?
lol that’s not going to happen. I will bet you any amount of money.
Why not ask this on lemmy.ml, with which your instance is federated? And what do you mean by “support”?
Palestine already faces an Israel with full material support from the US. Dems just feign concern about it and tell you they are going to look into it and hey look a bird! The “worse” would simply be a continuation of the status quo but withouy a veneer of respectability to bring Dem voters on board.
Your position is neither moral nor strategic. Morally, I don’t think anyone should need to be told to not tolerate genocide, let alone normalize it, let alone support those committing it. The moral question is not really up for discussion. Strategically, well, there is nothing strategic about individuals telling each other to tolerate anything and everything, including genocide, and to guarantee your votes with no demands. That’s just being a good pawn for the Democratic Party that, with incentives provided through your consent, would rather lose than reverse course on genocide. You are essentially making yourself a political non-entity.
Please go and actually do something worthwhile to help people and stop letting genocidal ghouls control your political thoughts.
Liberals are scratched
The right should be Hitler
You should organize against genocide, not support its perpetrators.
A nationalist “tough on crime” anti-socialist with a deep appreciation for cops-for-capitalism pining for a return to “glory days” for a subset of residents while scapegoating others via racist and xenophobic policies? While pushing a genocide? Whose supporters can’t even name the parts of her platform that appeal to them, instead trying to build a cult of personality and identify through who they reject?
To the extent anyone is fascist any longer she’s right up there. But she uses rhetoric that is normalized for liberals and flies under the radar because the oppression she supports is sanitized and “politely” obfuscated.
Don’t worry, Biden and Harris are working tireleasly on a ceasefire!
