    It blows your mind because you’re living in a bubble and believe things you read on the internet without questioning them enough.

    First Israel is not committing genocide. The casualties are consistent with combat operations in an urban environment. Death toll numbers are flattening as Hamas is eliminated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel–Hamas_war#/media/File:Gaza_death_graph.png

    If it were a genocide the numbers would be increasing.

    Second, you’re in a very small group of unreliable voters. It is not good strategy to ignore the majority to appease a small group of people that have been influenced by a foreign propaganda campaign. Most people understand that Hamas is a terrorist group, doesn’t wear uniforms so therefore civilian casualties will be high when there’s combat operations against them. Most people understand what happened on October 7, and understand that a nation should not abandon it’s people when they’re being held hostage. And nations shouldn’t abandon their allies simply because their allies are fighting an enemy that has a propaganda campaign that’s effective on a small portion of their population.

    You likely weren’t going to vote anyway. You’d probably find some other excuse to not vote even if Harris was saying everything the propaganda tells you she should. And, I can’t stress this enough, you’re part of a very small group of people. What you’re saying isn’t all that different from someone saying they can’t understand why Harris wouldn’t say the Earth is flat because she’s losing the flat earther vote if she doesn’t.

    She’s not saying the things you want her to say because you are wrong. Surrounding yourself only with people that agree with you doesn’t change that.

      It’s a genocide, and your boss needs to retrain you, you’re using ancient debunked versions of your propaganda.

        Nobody outside your internet bubble agrees with you. You’re unable to gain any influence outside of a few impressionable youths because you’re constantly making claims that are obviously false. We all see you try to redefine the word genocide to mean “whatever Israel is doing”. Using a word like genocide in this way is disgusting to rational people which is why you’re becoming pariahs.

          ICJ and UN agree it’s a genocide. More than 120 countries call it a genocide.

          It’s just the US (former performer of genocide), UK (former performer of Genocide), and Israel (largest performer of genocide since the Holocaust) that deny the genocide.

            ICJ and UN agree it’s a genocide.

            That’s a lie. They expressed concerns over a potential genocide six months ago and haven’t said anything since. A rational person would conclude that the potential genocide that they were worried about didn’t actually happen.

              Listen, your generic propaganda barely worked on the most right leaning people a year ago. It does not work on anyone with a brain and does not work on a left leaning site like lemmy. Go back to reddit and other right wing hug boxes with your genocide denying bullshit. Trump’s going to lose, US troops will not be sent to aide your genocide, you’ll have to live with unlimited funding to kill kids with, and history will look on at Israel’s ashes the same way it does Nazi germany. You racist, evil, genocide denying hog.
