    The IDF position is that people died because of a stampede.

    Okay, fine.

    What caused the stampede?

    According to the IDF: the crowd started looting trucks that had arrived in the area with aid.

    I love how the IDF conveniently ignores that people are starving because Israel is preventing aid trucks from getting in. Starving people will 1000% swarm a truck with food when it arrives. We have seen it happen in practically every recent famine. Hell, we even saw Jews (the ones who could still move) swarm allied troops when they liberated Nazi concentration camps.

    Dehumanizing the Palestinians even more isn’t going to work.

      You missed a step. The stampede was caused by the IDF shooting the Palestinians (because of alleged looting).

    Biden is really testing how far the “but Trump is worse” argument is going to go. I’m normally pretty pragmatic, but with Isreal setting new records of inhumanity everyday, it’s hard to feel excited or even compelled to vote when my choices are old guy who is arming a rogue genocidal state and literally hugs it’s leader and old guy who wants to end American democracy. Stretching the “lessor of two evils” voting strategy to it’s absolute absurd limit here guys.

      I’m gonna vote for him, but only the fact that his opponent is merely 1 degree removed from being the literal devil is ensuring that.

        Biden can stop this any day. The faster he sees his polling numbers drop the faster Biden will be forced to stop this.

        Stop telling people to keep voting for the lesser evil until Biden stops this Genocide. Then the issue is gone and Biden can actually start campaigning again.

        If Biden keeps this Genocide up thinking people will just lesser-evil him he will lose in november 100%.

          Thing is, I don’t think he’s going to be forced to do anything. The Democratic party knows their voters don’t have another option in this election but to not vote, and that would just make it easier for Trump to win.
