The number of Israel apologists on the Fediverse is very small.

You should check my comment history to see how many people cannot give an answer.

Are you sure they're understanding the question you're asking? Because I'm seeing a lot of confusion in the replies to your comments.

In this hypothetical situation you only get to choose one.

  1. Sending weapons to Israel.
  2. Joe Biden wins the 2024 election.

Refusing to answer, coming up with a third option or saying the question is stupid defaults to option 1. Weapons are shipped to Israel and Biden loses the 2024 election.

Seems like I've explained it pretty well.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

People would probably parse it better if you put the two options as

"1. Joe Biden sends weapons to Israel

  1. Joe Biden wins the 2024 election

Choose one."

That brings the contrast you're trying to communicate more clearly, I think, connecting the loss of the election with the continuation of option 1.

Whereas phrased as it is now, many are interpreting it as "I know you want both of these things, but you can only pick one".

I love sending weapons to Israel, if only Joe Biden would also send weapons to Israel this choice would be so much easier!

many are interpreting it as “I know you want both of these things, but you can only pick one”.

... Then they're interpreting it correctly.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Most of the people you're asking don't want both. At least not the people you're asking here on the Fediverse.

Then they shouldn't have any trouble answering. Just like you didn't.

Can you answer your own question? 🤔

Yes I would choose Biden wins the 2024 election and stops sending weapons to Israel.
