You should be fighting against genocide, not advocating for lesser evil genocide.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago (20 children)

We are advocating against Genocide. What do you think repeatedly calling for a cease fire is?

"Let’s get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war. Let’s bring the hostages home, and let’s provide much-needed relief to the Palestinian people."

That is NOT a "pro genocide" position.

For that, you have to look at Trump:

“They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

Harris - We need a cease fire to save the Palestinian people.

Trump - They just aren't killing people fast enough.

One of these two people will be the next President. If enough people reject Harris, we get Trump.

If you believe Harris is advocating for a ceasefire you deserve Trump

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Harris is repeatedly saying that and advocating for it, including when she met with Bibi, so what's your evidence to not believe it?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/25/politics/harris-netanyahu-israel-hamas-ceasefire/index.html

“it is time for this war to end and end in a way where Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity and self-determination.”

The vice president said there has been “hopeful movement” in the talks and that she pushed the prime minister to bring the conflict to a close.

“As I just told Prime Minister Netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done,” she said. “So to everyone who has been calling for a ceasefire, and to everyone who yearns for peace, I see you and I hear you.”

And Putin says he wants Harris elected instead of Trump.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Putin is not an honest broker and is known for being a master manipulator.

And Harris words are reliable?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Pretty much, yes.
