So let me get this straight... Your position is that instead of being a pawn of the Democrats who are at least pushing back against Israel

That is not what is happening. It is the exact opposite: Democratic politicians presided over and supported this genocide with near-unanimous agreemeny with one another. Israel, again, receives unconditional material and diplomatic support from the Biden-Harris regime.

I think I was clear on this, so you are really juat revealing your own lack of familiarity.

I should instead be a pawn of the Republicans

Am I telling you to use Republicans' thought-terminating clichés? Am I telling you to vote for Republicans as if they are a lesser evil?

Maybe you should ask me more about what I am saying because you are taking serious liberties.

Israel knows if they just cut loose, they would face repercussions from the rest of the world,

Israel already cut loose. They are ethnically cleansing Gaza, reinvading and bombing parts of the West Bank, invadjng and bombing entire neighborhoods in Lebanon, and trying to pick a fight with Iran. The "rest of the world" is nearly unanimously against Israel on paper, with the process held up by the US and some of its lapdogs, though of course Europe also wants in on the imperialist action.

You are already seeing what the rest of the world can do when Israel cuts loose. It is shamefully little, but we should also take inspiration from those who do stand up. From the Palestinian resistance. From allied grouos in Syria and Iraq. From Iran. From Hezbollah. From Yemen. And from South Africa for doing nearly all of the work re: the ICJ.

The US is the dominant superpower and it supports Israel to the hilt. Work to undermine it so that the scakes can be tipped.

What do you think will happen to Palestine as a country

Palestine is not internationally recognized as a country. Palestine is an invaded and occupied regikn, with its people facing settler colonial genocide by ethnic supremacists.

if Trump succeeds in removing all the guardrails

What guardrails? Again, Isrsel has unconditional material support from the US. They recently murdered an American in thr West Bank and the US is giving is the "investigation pending" slow walk. None of "the rules", even the unwritten American exceptionalist ones, apply.

and gets to fulfill his wet dream of being a dictator?

lol that's not going to happen. I will bet you any amount of money.

Oh my, my type? Goodness, you know, I didn't see your type either now that I think about it! When I went to protests and meetings in my community

Speaking about this as if they are over and not something ongoing says a lot. I'm leaning towards this just being a lie.

, I'm afraid I didn't see you there, I only saw people who we trying to actually help people, you know, the ones that knew they were between and rock and a hard place, but actually tried to not hand the government over to a blood thirsty racist, while making sure the community was informed in what steps to take should he win and are now continuing to rally and make their voices heard instead of "not VoTiNg fOr GeNoCiDe" which, you know, kind of got us here.

I have never seen a pro-Palestinian protest with that message. That just sounds like you projecting your armchair liberal takes onto other people.

The people who organize pro-Palestinian protests are socialists and allied Palestinian groups, occasionally JVP. And while JVP is milquetoast and weak, even they aren't that mealy-mouthed.

But perhaps it's scary to stand for a belief off of the internet, but I'm unfamiliar with the feeling because my mom didn't raise a removed.

I wonder what slur you used while calling yourseld a good person.

Don't worry, we'll handle it, sport. You just stay safe inside, okay? ♥️

It id also telling that this is the only part of my comment that you replied to.

Yes, liberals have been scratched and, as I predicted, they have split into two minds:

  1. Disbelief and resignation, a depression that can sometimes be broken through with reminders that they shouldn't have supported genocide.
  2. "We've gotta get a whole lot more racist"

No? Why are you making things up?

Name a "certain weapon" and how it is an enforced policy change.

I ask because I already know that there are no real restrictions, Israel has received constant deliveries of the weaoons it uses to commit this genocide.

[–] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 day ago

No there aren't. Biden even bypassed Congress to get them more weapons faster.

It is, of course. Matginslization is created and maintained to suit ruling class interests, to ensure you blame the marginslized rather than the capitalist.

Why do you think immigrants are being scapegoated? Did they close the factories or fire the workers?
