    But feel free to quote me

    Its at the top of the thread buddy.

    Democrats won’t deport millions of brown people and force my child and those like her into conversion therapy. So yes, Republicans will be worse.

    And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.

    Lets take this statement apart again. Its a defense of Democrats. It makes the claim that Republicans will deport millions, they’ll force your child into therapy, and that Republicans will “be worse”, and that the genocide of Gazans isn’t important because its tiring and there are other genocides.

    Israel doesn’t need Republicans to “be worse”. Democrats are bad enough that Israel has had carte blanc to ethnically cleanse the northern half of the Gaza strip. Israel has everything they need: they don’t need Republcians to “be worse”. Israel has gotten every single thing that it has needed to conduct this genocide, and it has come entirely from the US Administrations defense of their genocidal policies. And by making this effort that you are making, to shield Democrats from criticism, you are giving them all the cover they need to continue supporting this genocide.

    The other part of your claim which is relevant is

    And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.

    That is such an interesting way of trivializing the extermination of a people. I don’t even know that I have commentary for that statement, because its so disgusting and abhorent at face value. Like, you are mad that people aren’t just calmly going along with your para-social cheer-leading of an objectively pro-genocide candidate (instead of being crticial of her to try to get her to change). And you are just “annoyed” that you have to keep hearing about the ethnic cleansing of a people. Like its so annoying these people are getting murdered and you are just mad because its making your candidate look bad.

    So yeah. These are the statements I take issue with. They are deeply problematic.

      Cool, so I never said that I supported Israel’s genocide, and, in fact, suggested that not only was that genocide terrible, so are the other two.

      And at this point, you’ve convinced me that this is just some bigoted nonsense about my ethnicity.

          Yes, you quoted me saying three genocides were even worse than one genocide, which is already terrible.

          Which is the opposite of supporting a genocide.

          You lied, and now it’s clear to me that you’ve been lying because you think a Jew automatically supports Israel.

          I’m guessing this is also queerphobic.

              I get it. You think all Jews support Israel.

              And you hate queer people. You hate Jews and queer people. You’ve said so repeatedly.

                  You made it very clear that you don’t care about the genocide if queer people and you refused to answer multiple times when I suggested you think Jews all support Israel.

                  Therefore you hate Jews and queer people.

                  I’m using your logic.

                  Of course, I’ll be happy to say you don’t hate Jews and queer people if you admit I don’t support Israeli genocide.

                  And you’ve literally been harassing me this entire time by repeatedly lying that I support Israel.

                  How about you stop harassing me?

                    You said:

                    Democrats won’t deport millions of brown people and force my child and those like her into conversion therapy. So yes, Republicans will be worse.

                    And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.

                    You told me “feel free to quote me”, and so I have.

                    For you, this genocide doesn’t matter and is “getting old”. Your words. Not mine, not anyone else’s. You are responsible for them, and try as you might, you wont be able to make this conversation about something it isn’t.
