Genocide is only inevitable because a huge swath of people like you agree that it is something that isn't too important to fundamentally change.
Incorrect, it needs to change. I didn't have the power to change it in the moment. There was only one of two outcomes my vote could influence that day. The good option was nonexistent
That's why I said "huge swath of people like you". In groups, we have the power to solve these issues, but instead, you would rather make a choice between murderers and blame those who don't want murderers in charge at all
It's happening in another country on the other side of the planet, champ. Contrary to what you may believe, the U.S. isn't world police. We don't stop genocides in other countries with the wave of a hand or cast of a vote.
The genocide was happening with Kamala or Trump. Trump gives it two big thumbs up. Those who didn't vote or voted 3rd party gave Trump the permission to make an already bad situation way worse for Palestinians.
Without US money and US bombs, the genocide couldn't continue.
Contrary to what you believe, the US is in fact trying to be world police and are succeeding in that mission. 128 military bases in 55 countries. Russia has military bases in 12 other countries and China has 3. The UK has 13.
Lolz.
