Stop enabling the genocide? Please?
- All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law....
  Israel won't comply, which means we legally can't provide arms. Kamala doesn't even have to be "the bad guy", she can just say she's choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.
  It's really as easy as saying:
  If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.
  Boom, election locked up.
  
  How many voters would she lose if she declared intent to stop assisting Isreal?
  She might possibly gain a few, but would she lose any?
  
  You people really have a massively inflated concept of how many voting progressives that there are. Get off the internet for a while...
  Harris would 100% lose the election if she said that.
- Best they can do is thoughts and prayers. Oh wait, that was school shootings. Never mind then.
  
  School bombings don't qualify.
- machinin was thrown out of a window
  Anybody? Any solution will do, cmon people
- Not those islams!
- Okay, now let us know how you plan to keep Hamas and Hezbollah from continuing to attack Israel. Or does it not count when Jews are being genocided?
  
  After burning those kids alive, honestly, I've given up caring what happens to the people in Israel.
  
  The current extremist government in Israel knows exactly what they need to do to stop Hamas and Hezbollah from continuing to attack Israel, they just don't want to. They'd rather continue to create the conditions for extremism so that these attacks can be used as justification to finish their genocide.
  At this point we know that if you keep an entire group of people poor and oppressed with no prospect of economic opportunity or achieving a viable state, they become easier to recruit into a terrorist group. What have they got left to lose? Why NOT grab a rocket and attack your oppressors? This is why international law doesn't allow the creation of stateless persons...
  Israel could STOP settlement expansion into the West Bank, first and foremost. They could start complying with international law and internationally recognized borders. They could stop working AGAINST a two state solution.
  Maybe the Israelis could stop assassinating their own leaders when they work towards peaceful solutions. They could also stop radicalizing their own youth and defense forces to believe that the only solution is to exterminate the Palestinians.
  There is a whole range of things that they could do... I wonder why they don't?
  
  You aren't allowed to criticize Hamas and Hezbollah on here. Only IDF. Or actually all of Israel. Unless you are some Iranian-backing anti-Zionist, you get downvoted. It's too bad what has happened to discourse on Lemmy that people aren't even willing to contemplate the actions of all parties involved.

If you aren't anti-arab a nice gesture might be to stop murdering them.
- But there is a lot of water in Lebanon. Israel wants that.

Yeah, good luck with that. Islamophobia is one of Trump's tentpoles.
- It also happens to be one of Harris' tent poles.

This is Peak Liberalism. Saying this while genociding them.
- "we SEE you, we HEAR you, but Israel needs money . . ."
- And what about the U.S. casualties, should we not care about them?

Peak liberalism

No more Islamophobia if there aren’t Islamic people any more 🤷‍♂️ /s

This is pure Liberal brainrot, sometimes reality feels like a parody of itself. I dont even have much to say tbh, im too tired for this bs.

Setting aside the hypocrisy, is it just me or is it infuriating how the whole article is a whole lot of nothing?
- Did you even read it? It states literally 20 bullets on how the Executive Branch will combat racism.
  
  I just read that list. As near as I can tell they put a lot of words in that don't actually promise anything helpful. Maybe I'm wrong.
  Let's make it as easy as possible to show this plan in a good light. Instead of finding one bad bullet point in that list and tearing it up, let's see if we can find one good one.
  Out of that entire list, which bullet point do you think has the best chance to actually "counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate?"
  edit: grammar
  
  I didn't see any bullet points about no longer genociding arabs.

Not only hypocrisy, but also not true at all lol.
Biden pretty much okay'd Universities arresting their students to stop protests because his lobbyists threatened to withhold funding for both the party and each respective university.
Of course he didn't care about the zionist mob that attacked UCLA students, so it's pretty clear where he stands.
