I don’t know who is driving the Gaza protest rhetoric. It’s a question that should be answered. Because the absolute anti-Democrats narrative while simultaneously getting extraordinarily butthurt if anyone points out the Trump/Republican stance (and the fact it’s Congress that votes the Israeli aid) is indicative of foreign-based propaganda that cares NOT AT ALL about Gaza. It’s about getting Trump re-elected. Either that or the people posting here and across social media calling this war a genocide are just plain stupid or really, really feel self-fulfilled by their own anger.

You wanna complain about an actual genocide, look up what’s happening in Sudan as we speak.

Actual genocode as in "what is happening in Gaza is not genocide? This place really lives up to its reputation.

But if you really want to go there, Biden recently named the perpetrators of the genocide in Sudan (The UAE) as a major defense partner to ship them advanced weapons.

American blaming Russia for Trump. Trump is your own creation, deal with it

We all know who is.

It's basically the right whingers

It all started at the same time and seemed fairly coordinated with right wing media

You know it's right wing bullocks, because the people don't care that Trump is raping women and breaking laws on a daily basis. But a country I guarantee 90% of them couldn't find on a map apparently should determine the next election (forget the strong evidence Trump tried to start a civil war and plans a dictatorship)

It's an anomaly. If it feels weird, it's propaganda.

Kamala is even trying to push for a ceasefire. So it's not even a valid argument at this point.

Right wingers think it is because they are used to Trumps tantrums world leaders ignored and his sabotaging of relationships with allies.

He even had one of his late night hissy fits with Australia's ex prime Minister and tried to force him to stop being an international delegate . That's not normal, and it's not diplomacy.

Ding ding ding. It's definitely troll farms. It'll disappear the second the election is over. Majority of people will go back to not caring about Palestinians again. Which sucks.

Sadly I think a majority of it is just basic brain-rot stupidity. I went through this heartbreak already when Covid hit and I saw the scale of people's brainlessness on full display.

The right is excessively stupid, but even people who think they're on the left have a huge problem with mental faculties. I'm sure there are Russians capitalizing on it, but people on the left are really, really vulnerable to a specific set of emotional triggers and talking points and it doesn't take much to make a whole ass mob of people start screaming how they can't let Harris into office because... and I'm being dead serious, the latest "controversy" is because she promises a cabinet position to a republican, or an advisory board that has republicans.

Literally, one of the most common fixtures of politics, and there are leftists seething and screaming that she's going to "allow them in."

Like it's the fucking Thing, and anything a republican touches will become like them. Or that the White House is a tiny little clubhouse with a secret handshake, or that politics is like a literal combat zone. I just can't wrap my head around how dense people claiming to be on my side are.

So yeah, it's no surprise that for a very real, and very complicated issue like Israel, people are going to behave like absolute primates.

Anybody who wants Trump to win. Which likely includes Israel.

Former Seattle city council member actually wants to see Harris lose to trump. It's wild: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/at-seattle-rally-sawant-says-harris-deserves-to-lose-1000-times/

The best part is the same people say the other genocide in Ukraine doesn't matter, and its their fault for not surrendering to Russia for peace.

So it really is curious where it's coming from.

If the US cares about democracy and human rights, they should support Palestine and Ukraine.
