Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You have no way of knowing that.

She did say she supports Bidens stance on Israel and that israel has the right to ~~murder innocent children~~ protect itself.

To be fair I think most people think it (and other countries) should be able to defend itself… it’s just that they went from defense to all out genocide like a year ago.

The current party doesn’t know where that line is while the other party wants them to “finish the job”.

The president is supposed to be smarter than "most people" not more genocidal.

There was never any "defense" in zionism. It's always been theft, apartheid, and genocide.

Lastly the vast majority of countries at the UN are strongly opposed to this aggression and they have repeatedly passed resolutions that the zionists should reverse their nonstop aggression.

Of the two she's the one whose had statements about Israel needing to respect international law. So there's no evidence she believes Israel should be allowed to conduct a genocide.

Didn't she just say the other week there's nothing she wouldn't do differently from Biden?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which to this point has been attempts at a cease fire and offshore missile defense help. Putting troops under Iranian missiles is a massive departure from the past year.

No, up to this point it has been billions of dollars and weapons to Israel with the occasional finger wag to them. Troops on the ground is the natural next step of his policy up to now, and congruent with Kamala's statements that "Iran is the number one enemy".

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely not. She has never endorsed that.

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago

Oh I'm sure she'll speak against it any minute now, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You should check out her speeches and interviews sometime.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I have. She generally tries to walk a line between fully pro Israel and neutrality.
