The only opinion I can come to about the conflict is "God this is all so fucked that it shuts me down mentally"
It's weird that all the "genocide Joe" posters I've seen lately have all been coming from lemmnsfw.com.
Anyway. Let's reframe this like a trolley problem.
Imagine you are Biden, you have zionists in your party in both houses, zionists in the DNC, zionists among your donors as well as an array of people with vested interests in the military industry.
Now you can either try and hard line aid to Israel, get completely dicked on by the entire party, lose donors to the Trump campaign and make an already uncomfortablely tight race even worse for yourself and potentially hand Trump the presidency who in turn gives Israel the go ahead to wipe Palestine off the map. Knowing that even if you don't give Trump the win Israel won't stop their genocide.
Or you can just work in soft pressure, keep your keys to power happy and make what difference you can by doing stuff like sending aid that doesn't piss off the zionists and maybe save the Palestinians from a Trump backed Israel?
Fuck the keys to power.
I'm still waiting for the trolley to show up
The hell it doesn't. You're being spoiled children, so we talk to you like you're being spoiled children.
There is no morally defensible position at all. That's fucking life sometimes.
You would understand this if you weren't a spoiled child.
You have blood on your hands no matter what choice you make. Thinking you can sit it out and have your conscience be clean is what's childish. If Trump is elected, and kills more Gazans even faster, and sanctions the killing of more gay and trans people, that blood is on your hands for standing by and letting it happen.
Grow the fuck up and choose the option for less blood.
