I guess I'm glad that the genocide that is being perpetrated on the Palestinian people (and has been for several decades) is finally getting attention, but I just wish it wasn't like this; To be used as a political pawn by useful idiots and paid agents provocateur. I honestly don't know why I continue to engage with people who simply refuse to understand the reality of the situation that we are in. Or at least pretend to not understand it. It's hard to tell anymore.

But I'll type it out for the 10,000th fucking time:

If you give a single shit about the lives of Palestinians (which I'm honestly skeptical about), you will vote for Harris. That is the only choice. Any choice besides that is a choice for a man who will "end" this genocide in the worst way possible. Do you understand what I mean by this? I'm saying that Trump winning means Netanyahu will carry out his "final solution to the Palestinian problem" unmolested. This is not an exaggeration.

Harris literally cannot even tell us what she really thinks about the Israel/Palestine situation until after the election, because no matter what she'd say, it would make her lose. Shitty thing, but reality.

That's an empty talk. How many Palestinians have you helped? The undercover reality of war has taught me one thing: a lot of people do give a fuck, especially on social media; but in reality only a few would help to distribute blankets or medicine. No, I don't care about Palestinians simply because there aren't a lot of them in my area. Neither do you.

And the rage I feel is not towards Harris, if I were an American, I'd vote for her exactly because the predicament y'all have depicted. The rage is about infantilism in the world

I actually go out of my way to shop from Palestinian owned businesses and donate to Palestinian causes. Don't question people like that, it's not up to people to disclose private donation to a cause. It can also lead to persecution down the line. Lots of non-jews died in the Holocaust for helping Jews too.

Keep it up. Love to see that someone is not as shallow as I initially thought.

Don't question people like that, it's not up to people to disclose private donation to a cause.

Why exactly is it my responsibility to regulate what people share and what not?
