Biden and Trump are two sides of the same coin on this matter.

The lobby has check-mated us.

"on this matter" is key. Other people matter. People in Sudan who are starving matter. Undocumented and documented immigrants who are being ripped from their families with no notice. Being a one issue voter and ignoring any other issues is dumb and immoral. You're a POS

The problem is it isn’t just this matter. Partisans are tearing this country apart. You are the POS that created the monster we have now. The next dem administration will rectify tbings and make things worse by upping the issues. Which in turn tbings up more with the GOP.

About the only thing that will save us is the armed civil war that you so desperately want. It will take out the extremists. Then people can clean up the mess and rebuild.

What makes you think anything will be better after a civil war? Some magical thinking there.

There appears to be more coverage about Israelis protesting and bringing attention to Palestinian suffering: “Veronika Cohen, 80, a Holocaust survivor who was born in the ghetto in Budapest, said she had come to protest outside Yad Vashem on the day of remembrance because: “I don’t think we can remember our suffering without acknowledging the suffering of Gaza, the deaths of tens of thousands of children, the starvation that’s going on this minute, for which we are partially responsible. It occupies the same place in my heart.””

Anybody who thought Donald Trump was dangerous enough to vote for Democrats even though they aren't perfect is a partisan? Gmafb. I'm a POS because I'm telling you that voting is not a out you expressing your personal opinions about one issue, it's about you deciding who is best to lead the country on all kinds of issues, makes me a POS? Something tells me you know deep down you can't justify your actions.

Not OP but here it is:

Israel has banned the press, so doctors are reporting on the genocide.

Israel will start murdering the volunteer doctors now that they are reporting Israel’s atrocities.

The funny thing being, that the Nazis are largely considered monsters because of the testimony of these people.

Well, there's quite a few similarities to Zionism. Both are racist, xenophobic, genocidal and antisemitic ideologies - remember that the indigenous Palestinians are semitic and not the European Zionists. Both espouse settler colonialism and European superiority.

Trying to frame Europe as uniquely supremacist is a racist statement in and of itself. Especially considering the fact that Asia is the origin of the most fervent colonialist movements of today.

These two feeble minded leaders are not strong enough to rise above the influence of money in politics.

They've already murdered plenty of volunteer healthcare workers. There have been numerous reports of American doctors being very close to getting bombed including the ones in this podcast.

Yes, they have destroyed every hospital in Gaza and actively destroyed medical machines.

Killing one doctor is like killing 20 civilians. Destroying one hospital is like tens of thousands. It's all part of the plan of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

I believe that Biden was incapable of believing that a strong ally, who shares a common set of democratic values, could treat others so badly. I think he felt that the protestors were disingenuous or naive and didn’t understand the broader context of our support of Israel.

Honestly I don’t think Trump cares even a little bit about Israel, Gaza or anything over there. He will flex his muscle when he feels like it and is completely unmoved by accounts of Gazan suffering. He probably feels on some level that they deserved it. Anyone who voted for him expecting things to go better for Palestinians was delusional.

We’ve been told NPR and mainstream media are RW. Which is it?

I don't think they voted for Trump. I think they sat at home sh$t posting about Biden and Harris and feeling superior to those of us who voted for Harris. I think a lot of their thinking is guided by Russian propaganda. This notion that we need to destroy our country to make it better, that is the language of extremists. That is what Netanyahu, Trump, Putin, and Hamas all want. They want war. They hate progress, especially incremental progress. They can only reverse the progress of the last century by destroying everything.
