In your example, their solution is absolutely being a murderer. They didn't pull the trigger, but they condemned those people to death. They know that refusing is killing those people, that their refusal is the cause for those peoples deaths. I'm not saying that I don't think Gaza is important, or that it's not worth fighting for, but I extend that same importance to my countrymen as well. I think the woman who may need an abortion is important, even if I never get one. I think that my neighbor's kids should have a save school, and not be laden I'm debt, even thought I don't plan to have children.

I cannot stop what's going on in Gaza. It's a horrible, terribly bitter pill to swallow, but it is the truth. However, I'm not going to set everyone else on fire so we can all burn together in solidarity. Too many other people's lives are at stake. And I'm not saying their lives are more important than those in Gaza, I'm saying they're just as important. Kill one person, or kill everyone. I would rather save someone than no one.

Exactly, you think being a murderer is okay.

That is the core philosophical difference.

You are completely okay with killing innocent people. These people are not, normal people are not.

This difference cannot be reconciled. These people will never think the way you do, and thank every God ever imagined for that, as someone needs to be the moral party if only as an example of how normalized and justified pure evil is.

Fucking ridiculous.

A vote for anyone OTHER than Harris directly results in MORE Gazan suffering.

Trump will not restrain Israel. On the contrary, he will encourage them to 'end it' and achieve "peace" by ACTUALLY genociding all remaining Palestine resistance.

There already has been no restraint from Biden. Genocide is genocide, and Harris supports genocide.

I'm not voting for genocide, there is no moral argument to do so.
