Hamas could have not done that attack or given up the hostages when it was clear what a strategic blunder said attack was… Hezbolla figured it out real quick and didn’t join the attack as they had promised. Meanwhile, US protests have virtually disappeared since Election Day, as if the point was about disenfranchising Democrats and little to do with Gaza. To this day, people who are so concerned about “genocide” don’t say shit about Sudan.. Anyway, you can carry on all day about what Democrats should have done and it’ll still be true that Biden or Harris was Gaza’s best case scenario in terms of practical action vs Trump and his goons.

I don't think you understand the point of the protests. People don't want their government funding and supplying the weapons for a genocide.

What would a protest about Sudan achieve if your country has no involvement in it?

Israel could have decided to not occupy palestine in 67.

No, the protests have not stopped. You can stop with the whataboutism though. Not even gonna bring up the Uyghurs, sheesh

[-] ModestMeme@lemm.ee 0 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes, whataboutism as the answer to any uncomfortable comment. So tell me where and when these protests are occurring. I used to see them weekly in my city, block-long marches down popular streets. They used to block freeways and bridges and college administration buildings were occupied. Did the pre-election protests ever once target a Trump rally? Or any Republican?

Will people take to the streets now to protest Trump and his Republican Congress’s stance on Gaza? Will the people do anything now that the Democrats have lost?

With a simple resesrch you could find protests supporting palestinian but you just another person pretending that you care about gaza and even sudan https://uscpr.org/pro-palestine-protests

You obviously don’t organize or show up for protests. You’re asking will people show up? lol we’ve been showing up, I suggest trying it, because this is written like someone who’s never been
