It seems to me that Republicans and the Christian Nationalists they are in bed with are going to be immovably pro-Israel. How do we prevent our government from participating in this genocide as these new politicians take power?

    How do we prevent our government

    It’s really simple. You start getting your head around the idea of actually OPPOSING your own government.

    Don’t pretend you don’t know how to do this. Antifa and BLM have already shown you how to do this.

    We’re sick and tired of political opinions masquerading as questions - take it to a political audience - please leave us. This is not the place.

      Side question. Which communities can I do that? I have some questions I want to ask, but haven’t found a place. The politics community requires a link to an article, which is practically what I want to ask for.

    You could vote for the candidate least likely to Genocide. I think Kamala was her name…

    No seriously, I hope Palestine gets the policies that all the Genocide Joes here voted for. You earned it for them! 🫡

    I am stealing someone else’s idea (can’t remember whose), but just make non-stop memes about Trump being Netanyahu’s pet, and let the narcissism run wild. If everyone one on social media was sharing memes about Trump being Netanyahu’s bitch especially after Netanyahu said Biden was better than Trump, I believe there would be ton of budget cuts to Israel.

    It’s probably worth asking “what are the next steps for citizens of Portugal to stop the destruction of Palestine?”

    Or Honduras or Australia or South Korea or Madagascar.

    Because it’s now the same answer. You can do whatever you as a private citizen can do. Our friend’s dad travelled to Palestine and rode in on a boat loaded with construction supplies, sort of “throwing his body” in the path of the IDF to directly physically help Palestinians (he’s Jewish, btw).

    Of course this was before this full scale war. I wouldn’t recommend this action now. Send money to aid groups. Whatever you could do from the suburbs of Cartegena, that’s what you can do as an American.

    You can’t do anything about the policy from the top now. That’s a sealed envelope.

    this genocide is The conclusion of a 50-year crusade by the Israelis, and Trump said he’s fully on board with Netanyahu finishing his attack on Palestine.

    and dumps is going to be in charge of The US military in a couple months.

    so there isn’t much you can do

    this will be one more concluded genocide in the books.

    There are none. This is game over for Palestinians, Ukranians, and 99% of Americans. Mango Hitler controls all branches of the government, and every check and balance has been removed.

    Even if there was evidence of massive voter fraud on Trump’s part, it wouldn’t matter. Anyone who could do anything about it is on his team.

    The US democracy is dead.

    Lol.

    Too late.

    Palestine will cease to exist.

    Why?

    Because Donald Trump only helps those who he can directly benefit from. Palestine cannot benefit him. Israel can.

    If you want to help Palestine, build a time machine, go back in time, and tell every liberal/independent fool who voted 3rd party or abstained from voting over the whole Palestine thing to do the smart thing instead.

    Elections have consequences, and every last American is about to find that out the real hard way.

      You mean Israel has been trying, and failing, to do since 1948?

      You sure do give white supremacists a lot of credit, don’t you?

        Have they tried as hard as they’re trying right now? Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them, or at least entirely getting out of their way while they do it, instead of putting up some form of resistance to the idea of them wiping Palestine out?

        You sure do give white supremacists a lot of credit, don’t you?

        I wouldn’t call it credit. I’d call it reading a history book and undestanding how far white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.

          Nope. They have never been this desperate.

          Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them

          The (so-called) “west” has been interested in helping them since 1948. That’s why they have the kind of firepower now they could only have dreamt of in 1948 - and they are failing nonetheless.

          or at least entirely getting out of their way

          The US isn’t standing in their way. Palestinians with RPG-7s are standing in their way.

          white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.

          White supremacism gave itself all the power it wanted all over the world. And yet, despite this power, one by one the colonialist chickens was forced to come home to roost after the failure of white supremacism to remain dominant in the colonized world. It’s now the US’s turn to experience that failure.

            If you think Palestine is going to survive for much longer, then you have an optimism I can only dream of. Even if Trump simply stands out of the way. Which is unlikely, because Donald Trump only helps those who can benefit him and Israel can benefit him. So expect more of our BOOM BOOMs to end up there in the near future.

            Palestine is done.

            one by one the colonialist chickens was forced to come home to roost after the failure of white supremacism

            Yes, and the last time they got REAL power it took millions of lives and an unquantifiable amount of money/resources to put them back down.

              The literal ex-commander of the Gaza division doesn’t share your denialism. about Israel’s chances.

              Like I said… you give white supremacism a lot of credit.

              Yes, and the last time they got REAL power it took millions of lives

              Oh no… they were costing millions of lives looooong before Mussolini gave it a name. And western liberal society was perfectly fine with it both before and after as long as it remained in the colonized world.

              It’s almost as if liberalism simply accepts that a bit of fascism every now and then is simply the cost of doing business.

                Gonna need more than the opinion of an ex-commander. I’ve heard a lot of ex-military say things. Look at Michael Flynn. Not exactly an icon of honesty and trustworthyness.

                Like I said… you give white supremacism a lot of credit.

                That’s because history has taught me to be very, very concerned with the capabilities of organized white supremacism.

                It’s almost as if liberalism simply accepts that a bit of fascism every now and then is simply the cost of doing business.

                This seems like an emotional opinion.
