Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The options appears to have been

Get bombed but afterwards the survivors get to stay in their homeland.

Or

Get bombed and afterwards the survivors are ethnically cleansed and their homeland becomes a US/Israel resort.

So slow genocide with open air prison vs quicker genocide?

Surviving until another more friendly politician comes around is certainly a much better option.

The best way to ensure a politician who supports a cause comes along is to support politicians unconditionally whether they support it or not.

And the people who think that genuinely think it's the rest of us who are stupid lmao

It's like you're addicted to misrepresenting people's argument

[–] [email protected] 0 points 15 hours ago

My apologies, I must have misunderstood.

In that case, the best way to ensure a politician who supports a certain cause comes along is to conditionally support politicians only when they support said cause.

Do you want the genocide that will take a century, or the genocide that will take a few weeks to months.

The lefts goal is to stop the genocide, in either scenario, but it seems like a much harder thing to do under the latter option.

Yea I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be that ok with the "slow genocide" option if your family was there, dumbass. There is something really scary thinking any human being could be that comfortable with losing every morale compass in the name of pragmatism.

An important part of my response that you seem to have missed.

Essentially, stopping the genocide is multi-stage process, but that's (apparently) a very complicated thing for you to understand, so instead you just gave up and accepted defeat.

And not just accepted defeat, but used that defeat to feel morally superior to those that didn't stop fighting, that recognized that Palestinian liberation would require more than just voting in the presidential election. That voting was the just the bare minimum requirement of the task at hand.

People like you are idiots and will always share some of the responsibility for what this white-christo facist regime inflicts on the world.

How is it my fault if your country turned fascist? If my country offered me the choice between genocide and genocide I would at least hide in the wood.

People like you are the reason why everybody hates americans lmao

Your favorite genocider Biden pushed for Gazauis to be relocated last year. You don't give a shit about Gaza at all you hypocritical fuck

A Western diplomat in Cairo, also speaking anonymously because the discussions have not been made public, confirmed receiving Egypt’s message of its strong opposition through multiple channels. The diplomat said Egypt was very serious and viewed the plan as a threat to its national security.

The diplomat said Egypt rejected similar proposals from the Biden administration and European countries early in the war, which was sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack into southern Israel. The earlier proposals were broached privately, while Trump announced his plan at a White House press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Sorry your fav genocider lost, genapo

Stopping the genocide isn't a multi-stage process you denialist scum. You people could have just stopped supporting a genocidal regime. Quit gaslighting people, it's not that hard not to send bombs to a country. We don't sell bombs to north korea.

Slower means more people are alive. More time for change.
