Thanks, I dislike that, too. The difference between this genocide and others, is that the US is directly involved in this one. Palestinian children are being killed by our bombs, dropped by equipment based on our technology, from deals we've given them, and ordered by politicians we are supporting. If the US wasn't involved, I wouldn't care as much. But they are. Blinken runs interference for them, defending Israel at every opportunity. We block resolutions against them in the UN. The press uses loaded language with Hamas and the passive voice with Israel caused tragedies and massacres. We promise retribution against the ICC if they prosecute Netanyahu (if you ever need proof we're the baddies, look at that. Threatening vengeance against international court when they are trying to punish a genocide). Biden has gone around Congress to give stuff to Israel multiple times. They avoid applying any pressure to Israel to let in aid, instead using the vastly inefficient and more expensive failure of a pier. He keeps saying it's not a genocide despite a bunch of other countries saying it is. They block news of bad things Israel does and actively lie about it. People in his administration have left over these things. I agree with you that the US should be less involved and not be the World Police. But you seem to think this means I want us to go in. If we were not involved, that would be a VAST improvement over the status of quo, of being involved in purely bad ways. At least if we weren't involved, I wouldn't feel responsible as an American in a democracy to use my vote to affect change in some way, to do good, agonizing over whether to vote for a "Hitler" because his holocaust is abroad and he's got better domestic policies. I hate the DNC for putting those of us with a conscience in this position.

Now, this doesn't mean I think people should vote for Trump. Maybe I should've emphasized that more. He's obviously worse. But he's not causing this right now, Biden is. So he's a bad President. I can acknowledge he's better than Trump on this and all other issues, and still criticize him for that.

I agree some explanation would be nice at least.
