Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
Death to fascists
still dont disagree with you, and still dont support genocide, but hey we seem to be getting closer!
I find your method of communicating your position ineffective and confrontational in a way that is reminiscent of fascism. Using hostility and anger to try to bludgeon people into your perspective is not the most productive way to change minds.
Im stuck living with people who think anyone that is a shade of brown is less than human and that having an immigration policy is silly when we have guns and ammo. I cant reach these people and help them see that it cant be simplified in to black and white by calling them stupid and being dismissive of their feelings and now their identity has been tied into their "political" team.
So maybe instead of replying with so much hostility to a person who also wants to end genocide we can have a better discussion of what can be done, what could Bernie say.
Just a thought... maybe we move the ball rather than arguing over if the ball is being moved.

Silence is complicity. From your own descriptions you are coddling people who would kill anybody who’s not white and you want to come in here, handwringing and taking up all the oxygen in the discussion because your feelings were hurt because you respect Bernie.
I guess someone who’s too afraid to call a racist a racist WOULD look up to Bernie.
What makes you think I sit here in silence? I just use a different tactic to try to win over my neighbors and help them see that were all one people on a single small bit of rock in a big universe that does not care if we live or die.
Inclusion is more powerful than exclusion, and exclusion is exactly what makes genocide possible in Israel. Netanyahu needs a them so people wont question his clinging to power.
“What makes you think I sit here in silence?“

Considering you are still living with them, still describing them as racists, but are too afraid to call them racist…
“ I just use a different tactic to try to win over my neighbors”
And we can see how well that’s working out for you
