Wait, you think Israel is the aggressor?

You're aware that the UN voted to create Israel from the rubble of the Ottoman empire, and 5 neighboring countries disagreed and violently invaded them literally the day after they declared independence right?

Some of those same countries (and others now) are still supporting the Palestinians with money and weapons to continue to attack Israel.

You must not have scrolled down far enough, there's one that's been going on for 20+ years in Sudan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)

The forcibly separated kids one isn't even listed there, because China has done everything it can to scrub it from public knowledge, it's linked to an older one in there though. The Uyghurs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

I'm happy to argue the merits here, the same as I did in the Vance thread. I haven't changed my mind on it.

Currently your country (and mine) have disenfranchised a massive group of citizens, anyone under 18.

You seem to think this is right. Why is it okay to disenfranchise any citizen in a democracy?

Hitler disenfranchised an entire group of people, and that was clearly a bad policy.

Trump likes McDonalds, I like McDonalds, that doesn't make me a Trump supporter either. So why do you think that I'm a Vance supporter for agreeing with him on one thing?

Yes it does.

You could demand your government quit funding what they're doing themselves kills people too... but I don't see you doing that.

Did you demand they stop funding attacks after the half million middle eastern civilians were killed by allied forces during the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq?

Do you demand they stop funding Ukraine because it's now invading Russia? The government is even thinking of now approving even more use of US military aid and technologies to hit further into Russia.

Yes it does.

It's why the US killed a half million middle eastern people after 9/11

It's why people are praising Ukraine for invading Russia back

It's why nobody cries about all the dead Nazi's

Retaliation is very frequently justified, even when the level of killing amounts to hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

It's right there in every single history book you've ever read, over and over and over and over.

When was the last time you posted about the other genocides going on? Do you even know which ones I'm talking about?

Or are you just following the social context around the Israel-Palestine conflict and ignoring the fact that there are multiple other major genocides occurring right now? One of them has had a few hundred thousand kids forcibly separated from their parents and sent to special boarding schools, the other is at almost a half million deaths, both dwarfing the scale of the Israeli-Palestine conflict by almost an order of magnitude.

How about them? Where's the university protests? Where's the demands for divestment? You haven't even made a single comment or post about any of them from what I can see.

Nah, this one is the fad genocide to be all upset about right now.

I think you may have got your order muddled up.

"supported JD Vance"

"I understood how a single statement he made might make sense"

These two things are the same to you?

Even Hitler had a few good policies, and I sure as hell don't support him.

The IDF wouldn't have said anything when they found the documents if they benefit from it not being known.

The Muslim population isn't a single voting bloc, and a good chunk are still voting Democrat.

On the flip side, the Jewish population is almost twice the size of the Muslim population, so pissing them off is probably worse.

1.34% of the American population, the third largest religion in the US behind Christianity and Judaism.

I'm also going to point out that voting based on what's happening to people who share your religion in a foreign country is a TERRIBLE idea. If you make that your voting priority, it will bite you in the face in other aspects of your life because someone will exploit you for their own ends. The same is pretty much true for any single issue voter.

We're all free to be stupid, but it probably won't end well.
