The white house won’t even admit it’s a genocide. There is no red line and never will be.

I think you might be missing a few. Eg Nicaragua, Maldives.

In terms of the West, Ireland, Spain, and Norway are probably close to openly calling it a genocide.

It’s getting so bad that even white heads of state are considering calling it the genocide it is.

So? Does that make continuing to enable genocide right? Is that some sort of fucking justification? If not, why bring it up? “Everyone else is doing it” is another shitty excuse, and the fourth I’ve seen here on lemmy. The other three, summarized:

“That’s the way we’ve always done it;” “We might be called antisemitic by the party that chants ‘Jews will not replace us’;” and “Trump loves it so that makes it ok.”

This is what I mean about support for genocide on lemmy. Making shit excuses for it instead of condemning it.

No. Just stop. You see something you don’t like and you make up a bunch of other subtext.

What we need LESS of is people acting like the US is the only country with power.

My comment is a lot more educational than you want to admit. A lot of people probably needed to know that the list of countries is small. Not because “genocide good,” but because those people probably thought the list was a lot longer—and they should be concerned about it.

I guarantee you couldn’t rattle off that list. All you know is USA USA USA USA.

That’s the problem with social media. You’re not here to fight genocide, you’re here to abuse people, and chase them into the far right wing with your false accusations.

Biden said there’s a red line of Rafah is invaded. So Israel does airstrikes in Rafah and says they don’t count as in invasion. Bigger airstrikes with dozens dead and charred victims. Biden says they don’t count. The red line becomes squiggles and dotted line and neither says the line was crossed.

Today Israel sent TANKS into Rafah. Still think this doesn’t count as in invasion?

“Netanyahu spits in Biden’s face and rubs feces in his hair. White house is assessing if this crosses the line.”

Biden is the guy democracy’s fate rests on then we are screwed. Netanyahu continues to dog walk him and Biden can only smile and do nothing.

Doing nothing would be an improvement over selling weapons, going to bat for Netanyahu at the UN, and genocide denial.

EDIT: removed ambiguity.
