Goddammit, THIS is why I said that supporting the genocide in Palestine was a line I couldn't cross to vote for Biden. Always stand with the oppressed, and never, ever, ever throw anybody under the bus, no matter how politically expedient. Evil is a cancer which will metastisize around the world, and now where's our moral clarity? Instead of a simple, powerful "ethnic cleansing is bad" to move people, it's, "ethnic cleansing is bad here, but okay there because reasons."

The reason it was okay there was "brown people," and now the regime is going after also brown people, too.

If I were a dictator I would also make cleanses. But on intellectual/erudition criteria.

Imagine a country with only a negligible number of stupid people? Wouldn't it be beautiful?
