Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto News@lemmy.world•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish01·2 months agoRight here. Biden’s policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without PalestiniansEnglish01·3 months agoMany opposed Harris because she continued very active support to the Israeli genocide. Very few believed Trump would be better.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•AOC votes to back Israel lobby's bogus "anti-Semitism" definitionEnglish01·5 months agoYeah, that sounds like the line of the Communist Party of Germany in the 1930’s. Didn’t end up too well. Read Trotsky on that.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•"We warned you," Muslim voters tell Kamala Harris after she goes down in flamesEnglish1·6 months agoNo, there is no “right” choice here, if you mean something that is going to benefit Palestine and Gaza in the short term. The vast majority of those who voted against Harris knew that Trump won’t be better, but they could not go along with a candidate actively involved in genocide. Plus, they wanted to let the Democrats know that they would pay a price for their treachery. As it turned out, the pro-Palestine vote against Harris had a very clear effect in Michigan and Wisconsin, but it can’t be blamed for her defeat.
OK, thanks for the heads-up.
