I am...off the loop with US politics. Could someone explain please? :(
some people in the US whose politics otherwise align with Biden don't plan to vote for him because he has supported Israel in their war on Gaza. but the likely outcome of people not voting for Biden is Trump winning a second presidential term, which would be disastrous in a lot of ways.
ie, saving Palestine by sacrificing everything else. we saved Palestine, but everything else is on fire.
Except there's no way a Trump presidency would "save" Palestine. So people would be saying they saved Gaza, even as Gaza continues to burn. So only in their own minds will a Biden loss mean anything good for Palestinians.
With Trump who knows. Might turn into US being actively involved instead of being passively involved selling weapons.
agreed.
its not saving palestine either. Trump loves a genocide.
Vote for one guy for "less fascism." Yeah democracy.
Propaganda campaigns by Hezbollah and Hamas on Social media supported by Russia has exponentially increased antisemitism amongst GenZ in an effort to take the focus away from Ukraine and undermine the election.
Thankfully, they just get pissy on Twitter and march around for Instagram but don't vote, so it won't have much of an impact.
Being critical of Israel != Antisemitism
Please define "antisemitism" as you are using it in your above post. Then please explain how it relates to the situation in Ukraine.
Okay so if talking up Hamas is bad, is material support of Hamas also bad?
Because the Netanyahu government has given Hamas a significant amount of material support prior to october 7th. Do you condemn the Netanyahu governments prior support of Hamas?
