Trump asked Bibi to CONTINUE THE GENOCIDE FOR HIS POLITICAL GAIN but you’re not concerned by that unfortunate tidbit. No siree.

“Here’s some bombs. Please, try real fucking hard to not use them on civilians” is somehow worse than “KEEP THE KILLING GOING! I NEED IT TO FUCK WITH THE BLUE GUYS!”

Are you actually arguing that giving weapons that you know have been used to bomb kids before while asking not to do it is somehow different than just giving them anyway?

You’re acting like that was her personal decision and not an order she had to follow rather than her personal view

Could she have resigned instead?

Sure. And just like when people did it in the trump admin, the people you disagree with would just appoint someone who agrees with them.

She wasn’t working at a concentration camp…

Would you rather have someone as pro-Iseael as Biden?

How do you think that would have actually helped anything?

Legitimately, spell it out for me how her being replaced would have benefited anyone.

She’s literally getting paid to cover up repercussions for a concentration camp.

If enough people don’t follow orders the orders cannot be followed.

The moral fallacy is the assumption that if she rejects the orders the system can continue turning. If a few people reject orders they can be replaced. If enough people reject orders the system falls apart. Just like a worker strike.

Bidens replacement is all the evidence needed that I’m right. He got trashed in the polls and then trashed IRL.

If she had a problem with it, she wouldn’t have been put into that role. If your boss wants you to do something unethical, you should either resign or speak up against it. Anything else is full complicity.

You don’t remember the last admin?

Shit got worse when people resigned and were replaced by worse people…

Did you miss all of that?

If everyone that wants to do the right thing resigns and are replaced by people willing to do anything, the net result is the admin gets worse while retaining all the same power.

Sometimes you have to do all the good you can do, or choose to do nothing at all.

That’s just life…

So you think that Biden will replace her with someone who will be in more in favor of genocide? Why do you insist on holding the Democrats to such a low bar, rather than getting them to do something beyond just “not be Republicans”?

Or did trump replace them with worse people and do worse shit?

Your reusing of the exact same argument with different wording doesn’t magically make it a better argument - an honest person judges others on the quality of their actions, and such moral judgment is wholly independent of their tribe.

The “what about those people of that other tribe” is not an argument about the quality of the actions of this person because there is no chain of causality linking them - she is not doing it because the past actions of those others forced her to act like this now. Pulling such unrelated events up is morally dishonest and means you’re a Tribalist first and foremost, hence you are also unethical and immoral as you put tribe-membership above Ethics and Moral when judging such actions.

There is no such thing as being Honest, Ethical or Moral if a person’s Tribe changes your judgement of their actions: the supporting of Genocide by a member of the Democratic Party is not made any less or any more deserving of condemnation by their membership of the Democratic party or by there being members of the Republican party who did or would do the same or worse - the actions speak for themselves, PERIOD.

Yours is the kind of excusing of Evil that makes Zionists go around mass murdering Palestinian children or supporting those who do: they do the Evil they do with such gusto and intensity that it amounts to Genocide and then claim it’s only because of what Hamas did before: i.e. the greater evil done by “my side” they justify with the evil done by “the other side” even though causally the latter does not cause the former - there really is no need to kill tends of thousands of children to get at Hamas.

No matter what their tribe, any person commiting such actions whilst saying such things as this lady deserves exactly the same opprobrium, and that includes this lady. Her tribe and those other people’s tribe is irrelevant for anybody who is an Ethical, Moral and Honest person.

What’s happening over there sucks, it is just fucking awful and noone seems to want tondo anything about. People here arguing that democrats are bad because of this, people trying to call other people hypocrits, arguing that every argument is a fallacy.

The point at the end of the day is genocide is awful, and shame on those supporting it. I’ll take these democrats to task come election time when there’s a better democrat or successful new progressive liberal to take their place. That’s what we do instead of blindly following a party, but this change is gradually and the only way it happens is if trump loses.

The best shot we have is a mixed bag of democrats and there’s no shame in working with what we have. To abstain from voting while waiting for perfection now instead of voting to begin the changes for the future is shortsighted and foolish.

Calling people bad because they’re complicit in Genocide is not a fallacy. It’s the definition of evil. Stop trying to pretend it’s a minor thing.

Crocodile tears indeed. It’s interesting that you seem to care so much about the genocide in Gaza, but can’t quite bring yourself to express the slightest concern about the illegal and vicious Russian invasion of Ukraine. Are innocent Palestinians worth caring about, but not innocent Ukrainians? According to your post history, you are in fact generally supportive of Putin’s actions in Ukraine. If you only oppose genocidal acts in which the US supplies weapons, but handwave away a literal direct invasion by Russia, then you’re just engaged in partisan propaganda. I don’t think you can be taken seriously as someone who is anti-genocide if you think that it all depends on who is committing the genocide, and/or who is the target.

Hmm… weird how yesterday trump reportedly called Netanyahu to ask him to keep blocking any ceasefire until after the election but, and this is the darndest thing, you were completely silent on that. Bombshell story, not a concern for you for some reason.

I’m sure you will be posting about that any second because you’re looking to spread the “truth” right? Just so happens the “truth” normally only ever concerns American politicians if they happen to be Democrats. WHOOPS!

Weird how as the election draws nigh, your attacks on Democrats increase daily and, again, the darndest thing, start every day around 9am in eastern Europe.

Edit: he totally addresses that story below though, guys. Because he totally wants to help Palestinians and definitely doesn’t want them all dead with Trump’s help.
