For decades, we have been in the streets in defense of the Palestinian people, and will continue to fight until the total liberation of Palestine!

    So you don’t actually agree with them regarding Palestinian lives, you agree with Harris. Simply saying “ideas sound good” doesn’t mean you agree with them, even if you think they would be better. If your actions prevent ideas you think were good, like cessation of Palestinian genocide, then you don’t actually support said ideas.

      I’m not sure how I can be more clear. I disagree with Harris on most issues. I will vote for Harris because Trump would be much worse.

      There are no actions available to me that will end the Palestinian genocide.

        1. You are currently complicit in the genocide by advocating for genociders and normalizing genocide as just another “lesser evil” policy plsnk.

        2. You and I both know you haven’t even tried to find anything to do. If you had, you would have found it easily and would be listing it for credit. You can join socialist groups such as PSL (though they would not take you until you became more educated) or FRSO. You could help the ANSWER Coalition or other groups present at protests. You could promote BDS programs that turn up the pressure on Israel. You could dedicate your time to opposing genocide apologetics. You could normalize support for the axis of resistance. There is a reason Kamala named Iran as the her idea if the biggest adversary, they are the state that is most strongly opposing this genocide. You could raise money for direct assistance to Palestinians (not NGOs) so they better survive.

        Stop making excuses.

          See, the cool thing about this is you already know everything about me, what organizations I have joined and support, what political and civil programs I participate in, so it’s extremely easy for me to recognize that you’re simply a liar. If you were just wrong, we could continue to debate, but you’ve chosen to deliberately misrepresent who I am, which means I can ignore anything else you say because you’ve proven to be dishonest.

            It is a common tsctic of deflection to exaggerate a perceived opponent’s claims so that you can talk about the exaggeration instead of what was actually said.

            I know some things about you based on your behavior. Not everything. And the things said I knew? You have not contradicted them.

            what organizations I have joined and support

            Certainly none that support Palestine and oppose the genocide because they would kick you out for these sentiments. See how I know things?

            what political and civil programs I participate in

            This is just repeating yourself.

            so it’s extremely easy for me to recognize that you’re simply a liar.

            Tell me about your great organizing for Palestine and against this genocide, O Kamala Harris genocide vote shamer.

          Cool. So now that they have ended the Palestinian genocide, I guess we don’t have to worry about it anymore?

            Okay so you’re not willing to do anything unless you, through your personal actions, can stop an entire genocide? Or are you trying to make a different point?
