Israel genocide wouldn’t be possible without US unconditional backup.

The US has delivered 90,000 tons of bombs, guns, and other military equipment to Israel since October 7, 2023, to support the genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to numbers from the Israeli Defense Ministry.

The ministry stated that the military equipment has included “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical supplies” and that the US support is “a significant component” in ensuring the Israeli military can continue the slaughter in Gaza.

    You think Trump’s voter have an issue with trump supporting the genocide of Palestinians?

    I’m “lucky” to live in a red area, and from what I can see they’re happy anytime someone brown or Muslim is hurt. And ecstatic when they’re killed.

    Their only issue seems to be wanting more death and destruction, not less.

      There are some libertarian types who might put up a token objection to medding in foreign conflicts. However, Trump equivocated on foreign policy while Biden and Harris were fully gung ho about getting involved in every conflict everywhere, which allowed Trump to sell himself as more “moderate” on foreign policy (though in reality he’s also a hawk).

      The core of Trump’s base has no problem with it, of course, but they’re always going to vote for him and not every voter Trump replied on to win fits that stereotype.

        Giving America the choice between two genocidal assholes tho, almost always results in the worst one winning, because they don’t lose any votes from their base for supporting genocide.

        The “they” refers back to “the worst one”.

        I wasn’t sure if you were trying to say trump wasn’t the worst one, but it seems you just didn’t understand.

        Quick edit:

        The singular “they” has been used since before Shakespeare, unless you’re a highlander it’s older than you are.
