You don't admit any moral difference between trying to slow the killing down and trying to speed it up, and the reason is that you're only pretending to care about Gaza what you really care about is discouraging left leaning voters from voting so that your guy Trump can win.
You'll deny it, I'm reasonably sure, but that's the effect of your outright condemnation of Biden and your extreme head in the sand refusal to admit that the Republicans in general, and Trump in particular, are far more committed to the Israeli military and its aims, always have been and likely will be for decades to come.
Biden is not trying to slow the genocide down. He is funding it and arming it.
He is better than Trump on every other issue. There is no difference here on the issue of genocide
Factually incorrect:
Biden: Don't bomb Rafah.
Trump: ....
Biden: Cancels some of the armament shipments
Republicans: object loudly to Biden cancelling armament shipments
Biden: We should have a permanent ceasefire
Trump: PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas, his most definitive position on the conflict since the terror group killed 1,200 Israelis and took more than 200 hostages on Oct. 7.
The Republicans would accelerate it all. The Republicans share Israel's aim to "finish them".
Israel bombed Rafah and Biden did nothing.
Biden has consistently given Israel all of the military aid it asks for. The "pause" lasted only a few days. And then Israel bombed Rafah
There will not be a permanent ceasefire. This is purely optics to make it look like Biden is doing something. And will be used to blame Hamas and justify additional murder when the negotiations inevitably collapse. It is only for optics
The Republicans are identical to the Dems in terms of policy on the Gazan Genocide. The Dems just use softer language when they exterminate Gazans than the Republicans would.
I don't care what language is used. I don't care about aesthetics. I care about stopping the United States and Israel's extermination of the Gazans. Biden needs to do that, and to enact systemic regime change in Israel to prevent this from ever happening again
Well, I'm not going to get you to admit that Trump and the Republicans plan on being far, far worse for Palestine, and I think that if you really did care about Gaza you'd do whatever you could to keep Trump out of the White House, but you really, really, really don't want to hear it.
I warned you, though. I warned you as best as I could.
Do you think you're good at being persuasive?
