    Don’t pull a Mehdi Hasan please :(

    Neither party is doing this for “racism”, they’re doing it for American supremacy. The Democratic Party also murdered more Palestinians than the Republican Party; and they continue to support Israel, just with controlled “opposition”.

      I think I’ve seen you pop up a couple of times saying “The Democratic Party also murdered more Palestinians than the Republican Party”. What do you mean by that and what are the sources?

      I didn’t think the US was really all that directly involved in the Palestinian conflict, but more tacitly responsible for arming Israel and not trying to rein them in.

      Additionally, if you’re talking about Biden vs Trump admins as your timeline for dem/repub, that’s really just different phases of the conflict rather than one admin doing anything more/less. If anything, the real relief that Palestine has gotten is Israel dragging the US into war with Iran. Can’t really expend resources on Palestine when fighting a country that’s equally capable.

        You probably saw u/geneva_convenience say it before, not me.

        The figures I’ll provide here will be a severe undercount, because they’ll be from the Gaza Health Ministry’s verified numbers and thus will not include for example bodies trapped under rubble. It also will not include “non-violent” causes of death such as starvation and sickness.

        January 2025 - At least 47,354 Palestinians murdered. (This is when Biden left office)
        October 2026 - At least 74,494 Palestinians murdered. (27,140 killed since Trump took office)

        I didn’t think the US was really all that directly involved in the Palestinian conflict

        Then you should really educate yourself. You’re both calling the genocide a conflict and denying American involvement in it. It’s been three fucking years.

          Do you seriously think these numbers prove anything? All these numbers say is that initial stages of the genocide were more intense and as Israel achieved more of its ethnic cleansing goals it slowed down. If Trump was in office before 2025, those numbers would not decrease. One would have to be really delusional to think Trump might have possibly slowed down the genocide in Gaza. He is a guy who makes AI videos of himself bombing Gaza and building resorts there. The fact remains previous democrat governments and Trump have supported Israel in this genocide just as much. There is atleast internally more people in democrats who oppose supporting Israel than there is in Republicans. But ofcourse if the issue is that Democrats are more willing to aid Ukraine than Trump, that should perhaps be your talking point rather than trying to prove Trump is better for Gaza which is funny.

              This is just another form of racism and extremism. Don’t expect people to prefer your extremism over other forms of extremism like western nationalism. They are one and the same and don’t deserve to exist in this world. Sucking up to billionaires or sucking up to dictators or sucking up to “omnipotent” leaders are just different faces of the same cringe.

                  You are not anti-fascists don’t flatter yourselves. Anti fascists are people organizing and participating in rallies against Trump. Not people who drool over him because of the possibility of bringing down US and turning a blind eye to all the atrocities he commits everywhere just because he is not supporting Ukraine as much as democrats. What you are doing is supporting fascism but in a hypocritical way.

            “The actual numbers of dead Palestinians don’t matter to the question of who killed more, what matters is Drumpfs twitter posts!”

            You don’t care about Palestinian lives, you just care about decorum

              You either can’t comprehend what you read or are just here for agitation:

              If Trump was in office before 2025, those numbers would not decrease.

      They are both shit. Under the Republicans, the genocide expanded into Lebanon and Iran. We’re bombing school girls without even getting a Congressional rubber stamp for expanding the war. There was not a good choice on the ballot with respect to the genocide.

        Didn’t Harris say Iran was the biggest adversary or some shit? It’s crazy you believe it’d have been different under the democrats when historically they’re the same outside of your borders. Even AOC is shit at foreign affairs, and Mamdani did his part in legitimizing the shit they did to Venezuela and Cuba. So no, you’re wrong, and if you see us as humans you gotta be better and do better so we have a world tomorrow, and so our neighbors don’t get disappeared or bombed in the meantime.
