    Several genocides are going on right now, and have been for decades, almost like it’s got nothing to do with who’s in charge in the US or something.

      We send billions to israel every year and have only greatly ramped up the support as israel has ramped up the genocide. If the US simply stopped that support, it would go a long way. Following your logic, people get murdered all the time, so we shouldn’t do anything about murder, even if we’re the ones directly enabling the murderers.

      What kind of sociopathic hand waving is this? This is like if a strawman had a child with whataboutism and all it ate was apathy.

        No, it’s a European telling you to stop believing your own hype.

        The US is not the center of the universe, your support matters but you alone are not the factor that is going to save or doom Palestine.

        Vote based on what’s best for your own country and realise that we neither expect you nor want you to solve everything you deem to be an issue.

          Vote based on what’s best for your own country

          I mean this emphatically: if you’re not an american, you do not want americans to vote for what is best for their country.

          Literally nothing good (or maybe almost nothing good, depending on who’s asking) has come from America pursuing its interests abroad.
