Fascism is bad for everyone. This is not a choice between two minority groups. This is a choice between democracy and fascism.
The only way to help the Palestinians is to vote for Kamala. Kamala wants a ceasefire. Trump has made it clear he wants Israel to finish what he started.

This is what accelerationism gets us. A bunch of people who are willing to let every group of people burn, because they have been fooled into thinking that things can only get better by making them worse. Things can always get worse. We have to make things better for them to get better.
If tankies and accelerationists cared about Palestinians or trans people or anyone they would vote for Kamala without a second thought. Many of these people are from the US. They can't handle that they're from a country that isn't morally perfect, so rather than try to fix, they want to see it burn to the ground. It's a kind of state of unhappy consciousness where their country's misdeeds make them feel as if they have blood on their hands by association.
Most people recognize that beyond our vote and activism we have very little say in the day to day operations of our country. We can sleep at night by acting in a way that is useful to accomplish our goals. Tankies and accelerationists cannot. So the course of action they propose, doing nothing to impact the election out of protest, is not useful to us.
