   Joe Biden could still turn this around and not lose to Trump by defunding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. If he doesn’t, there will be only person to blame for Joe Biden losing to Trump in six months and that’s Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden.

     @StillIRise1963 Yes, Trump winning will fuck everyone over. And if Trump wins, the only person to blame is the one who knows exactly what to do to win and steadfastly refuses to do it because he will not stop enabling a genocide.

     If someone is torturing a puppy on live television and you tell to him to stop if he wants to be elected and he doesn’t and he loses, he’s the only one to blame for losing whether or not the other guy will shoot the puppy dead when he wins.

     @aral Yeah, we’ll fuck Joe by fucking the entire nation and world. That’ll show him.

     @StillIRise1963 I’m not white. I’m from the part of the world that Americans of all skin colours have historically shown no reticence in bombing. The part of the world where a genocide is being carried out right now using American bombs.

     And yes, if it comes down to whether an American should vote for Biden or Trump in six months then, yes, vote for Biden.

     But the third way is to make Biden see he will lose unless he stops funding this genocide and, y’know, stop a damn genocide.

     @aral I see you only know how to solve problems one way. The way that makes THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SENSE unless you’re a white guy.

     @StillIRise1963 America being the world’s arms dealer and bombing Brown people whenever it feels like it is what’s extremely offensive. At least to those Brown people who keep getting the shit bombed out of them. Heck, I know it’s hard to see non-Americans as human beings but I can guarantee that we very much are.

     @StillIRise1963 Ok, goodbye. I don’t really have anything to say if you cannot see that the world is not America and that people in the Middle East are people too. We’re not just cannon fodder for your domestic comfort.

     @aral It's the GOP that are zionists, they're the dominionists and ones that want the apocalpyse to start there. But you go ahead and keep showing that you understand nothing of international or domestic politics.

     @aral I don't know that he's a Zionist, but here's what I do know.

     (1) Palestinians don't have a fiscal lobby of note, whereas Israelis do.

     (2) Campaign donations are considered 'free speech'. 👀

     (3) No one seems have demanded that Democrats 'divest'. In fact, quite the opposite, they'll crawl out of the woodwork and tell you, "If Trump wins..."

     If the campaign is about fear, we're seeing Hillary all over again. Fleetingly.

     @lxo If only we had some way of knowing… a hint or something… like if he was selling arms and funding a genocide in Palestine.

     But yes, sure, it’s my statement in all of this that reeks of injustice.

     if we're to believe wikipedia and a friend of mine who is familiar with the matter, being zionist means just supporting the existence of the state of Israel, and the self-determination of the jewish people. nevermind that supporting a racist and non-laïc state isn't such a great idea IMHO, but it doesn't follow (and here's the key point I'm trying to make) being or claiming to be zionist doesn't make one a supporter of genocide, or of jewish supremacy. that's an undercurrent of zionism, and assigning it to all zionists is probably a mistake. I don't know where biden stands there, it may very well be that he is among the proponents of jewish supremacy, but I see injustice in your statement in the implication that being zionist is in itself a horribly reproachable thing.
