let’s gooo
The ICJ disagrees. They believe it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide right now and they have issued preliminary orders to prevent further deaths. Do you think you know more about Israel’s responsibilities under international law to prevent genocide than 17 judges sitting on the the ICJ? Do you believe that you know more than them? Or do you just take Israel at they’re word.
Israel is committing genocide now under Biden. They will still be committing genocide under Trump. The difference is the number of people who will be killed.
Currently 26453 Palestinians have been killed. The Gaza Strip being completely ethnically cleansed would result in over 2 million deaths.
Although both are genocide. Allowing Trump to create a fascist dictatorship and green light the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians would a worse outcome. Netanyahu’s cabinet members have made it clear his administration wants to remove all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. It is in the interests of the Palestinians to prevent a fascist like Trump from taking office who will allow Israel to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip. edit: typo
Biden has shown himself to be either unwilling or unable to reign in or stop Israel. They don’t believe the US will do anything to stop them, and so far, they have been proven correct. The rhetoric under Biden will be different than under Trump. But the outcome will be the same. Sorry that I’m not appeased by a milquetoast centrist urging Israel to take it easy.
The change to a fascist dictatorship is not simply a shift in rhetoric. Millions more people dying under Trump is not the same outcome.
If the Republicans complete their fascist takeover in 2025, that’s it. There won’t be another election. There won’t be any opportunities to get progressive candidates. Without democracy the public will have no peaceful recourse to improve anything anywhere. Throwing our democracy away by not voting doesn’t help anyone. If we want better candidates in election years then we need to be politically active in the four years leading up to the election.
