Less evil for whom? The Arabs who lost family and friends to this war? Once you cross the threshold of genocide, does it even matter anymore? From an Arab's perspective, it's like asking what is worse, the Tasmanian genocide (which killed every full-blooded Tasmanian by 1876) or the Armenian genocide? What does it matter when both were literally the most evil you can get?

I don't fault American women/minorities for voting in their self interest. Abortion and queer rights was an issue for many people and they voted in for their rights. That's a fault of the state. But when you lose family, friends, neighbours and country to a genocide, what does it matter? Family is the most important, after food and water. Death of family is extremely traumatic. And then telling those grieving people to go vote for a butcher against their own raging conscience and blaming them for Democrat incompetence is just evil. You voted for your self interest. They for theirs.

people like you would probably be saying how Trump would have fucked it up so hard that there’d have been no choice but to ceasefire or some such dumb ass mental gymnastics

I sincerely doubt it.

Arundhati Roy mentioned! I love her books!

Yes, but the ready excuse for the genocides of the past is, 'That was a barbaric age, everyone was awful. We are enlightened now. See, we gave gay people rights!' Well clearly, nothing has changed. They are still barbarously cruel. But since you're from lemmy.ml, I imagine you already know.

The poem is beautiful. This is truly the greatest moral stain of this generation upon the West; to have supported genocide, and not any genocide but the clearest case of genocide in this supposed era of 'progress' and 'open-mindedness' There is no progress, people are clearly just as racist, imperialistic and backward as they were in the 100s of years ago. A genocide unfolded and the 'enlightened West' watched on. How will you get the blood off your hands?

Why would US Arabs vote for Harris? They have nothing to lose. Both parties are unwavering in their pro-genocide foreign policy, what difference does it make to the relatives they lost? A person is most concerned with their immediate relations; their family, community and homeland. After so much death and destruction, personal loss and gaslighting by the media, why would they even give a shit? When you lose family, you lose everything.

It is strange you decide to criticise the powerless Arab voters instead of the Democrats who had all the power, money and influence to stop the genocide if they wanted to. But they didn't; they didn't care when Rafah was bombed and they don't care now, because they never cared about Palestinians. This would have happened even if the Dems had won. Punching down instead of punching up won't help; it simply makes you look like a selfish person who is only concerned with their issues. Criticise those in power, who had it coming because they had all the means to prevent this.

Madagascar plan. Isn'treal is recycling Nazi strategies.
