      The US government is not committing genocide, it’s the Israelis. I’m telling you these protests don’t do shit becuase it’s literally another government doing it and do not give a fuck about college kids in a completely different country.

      TikTok is spreading this shit. These protests do nothing and only increase civil unrest.

        Seeing someone posting sense and reason. From the heart of a disingenuous, hyperbolic propaganda storm is rare and appreciated.

        Asserting that Biden is committing genocide. Really downplays and belittles what genocide actually is. It’s a despicable thing to do. And everyone involved should be ashamed.

        Biden can still be wrong, and also not committing genocide. And he is. His reluctance to distance himself from Bibi the Butcher. Has absolutely left him enabling it. Even as he tries in vain to reach out diplomatically to stop the slaughter. We’re long beyond the point of diplomacy. And Biden must start acting like it.

        Thank you for being a rational voice.

      • The US government provides weapons for the genocide.

        One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.

        Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.

        Of course Israel isn’t going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don’t like it. But that doesn’t mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.

        Funded by Amerikan money. The government you uplift, and everyone who still supports them after eight months of unmitigated genocide, is complicit. Is a collaborator.
