Either he's making too much money from AIPAC to stop now. Or he's bitter about being pushed out of the race for president this election. Or both.

They know all that about Trump. They just don't care anymore.

And Harris is not saying anything Biden isn't saying either. And Israel is still going full throttle. So to them, there's no change.

They know all that. These people all rallied around Biden and voted for him in 2020 because they knew how bad Trump would be. But like I said, they just stopped caring.

They're already being treated like second class citizens. Their entire demographic is being treated like a group that can be written off for the sake of political convenience and lobbying money.

And what are Democrats even doing to stop Israel to make them seem better on this topic?

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

I don't think they care about any of that anymore.

So what's the math here that you're applying? Given how Netanyahu is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths from this year alone, would you consider it proportional to level Tel Aviv just to kill him? What's your cut-off for acceptable civilian casualties based on the persons history and role? How many days of headlines should there be of civilians getting massacred, most of which didn't even have an enemy combatant in the casualty list, before we deem that this excuse can no longer be used by Israel for you? At what point do you consider these attacks disproportionate by a foreign invading army who started an unprovoked war?

One example in the face of hundreds of thousands,or even millions, over decades is not enough to convince me that this due process works. You may as well try to sell me that African-Americans are treated well by cops based on one incident where they convicted a cop of shooting a black kid for no good reason.

Oh sorry. I completely missed that last sentence you added. You're right. Headline is still correct. Please ignore me lol.

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Don't you feel like it should be changed? People just browsing their feed will be misinformed.

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Does Lemmy allow you to change the headline as well?

If it's true to the character the I don't see a problem with it. The whole issue with things like blackface is more of an issue with stereotypes and racial profiling that are typically associated with it. This isn't a race thing, so I don't see that being a problem here. You're just cosplaying a character you like.

There's been some progress on addressing these issues, especially when it's targeted towards children. But until we actually really go after the perpetrators and the enablers, it will continue. No more normalizing these actions or dismissing it for the sake of the persons "career" or some other bullshit. This should not be ok, under any circumstances.
