The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is “trying to hold” Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

    Nor am I. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people on lemmy who are so pro-genocide that they cannot abide any criticism of it, no matter how mild. These people immediately assume that anyone who has any misgivings at all about Democrats supporting Netanyahu’s genocide must be a trump supporter.

    I’m looking forward to October 21, when early voting opens in Texas, so I can vote for Harris. That doesn’t mean I must remain silent about genocide.

      No one here is pro-genocide. It’s all in your head as a defense mechanism to use against people that disagree with you.

          Hey bud, genocide denial isn’t genocide support. And while I truly believe genocide is happening, (mods- take note that I said this as I’m certain they’re reporting me for genocide denial)…

          there will always be other people out there who try and define things by their own terms. This doesn’t make them right- but we all know your false equivalence has no filter, or ability to discern the difference between the two.

          If someone says “I don’t have cancer” when they have cancer, that doesn’t make them pro cancer. It’s just makes them in denial.

          In short- saying that it is’t genocide isn’t saying they would support it if it were. And it’s well known that you constantly accuse everyone that calls you out as a genocide supporter. So since we’re handing our advice….

          Maybe don’t do that.

              I’m not going to argue this with you. Just call me a “gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtEr” and begone.

                  Did you purposefully ignore that I said in my comment that I absolutely agree that it’s happening?

                  See?

                  It’s so easy to get you to prove the accusations against you. You know I didn’t deny shit and anyone that can read can see that, yet you accuse anyway in an obvious display of bad faith trolling.

                    Genocide denial is genocide support. Particularly in cases where an obvious genocide is taking place. Not all genocide support is genocide denial.
