This seems like an opportunity for you to explain why the points being made are invalid, rather than just mocking them via meme.

It’s a brute fact that either Harris or Trump is going to be inaugurated as POTUS next January, and it’s also a fact that Trump would be worse for Gaza’s cause than maintaining the status quo. If I’m guaranteed an evil outcome in both cases, why shouldn’t I try to sway the course of history towards the lesser of the two possible evils?

You should vote for Harris if you want. I will. But, what I won’t do is go on the internet and justify a genocide.

According to modern international criminal law, there can be no excuse for genocide.
