WASHINGTON, D.C. – After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

    They’re against Israel but when you say you’ll vote third party or sit out the vote

    No. They assume without evidence that opposition to genocide is advocacy for voting third party or staying home or voting for Trump.

    I see it constantly in this community.

    “Biden should stop supporting Netanyahu’s genocide.”

    “You think Trump would be better? Russian Chinese Republican nazi tankie child shill bot!!!”

      This is not reality.

      The reality is that if you oppose genocide you get yelled at for continuing to show any support for the Biden campaign despite the fact that his opponent is the genocide-accelerationist candidate.

      And I’m someone who thinks we should defund Israel and then look away for a year or 5.

      Stop trying to have abstract parasocial arguments with entire demographics at once, you’re driving yourself nuts.

        I’ve been called a russian in this very thread for saying that Biden should stop supporting genocide.

          I suppose that’s good enough for you to throw everything else I said out the window. Good morning.

          Edit: that or those comments were deleted by a moderator, I would invite you to reconsider throwing everything else I said out the window.

            Don’t say I’m lying about recent lived experience and I won’t point out how you’re wrong.
