Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave Gaza

Well, since this discussion is about solidarity in the anti-genocide movement, as I’ve said many times, I would suggest everyone (and, excuse me if I mislabeled you as being against my initial point, but I’m having a discussion with a bunch of people) that you all stop trying to scapegoat other people who don’t want to see a genocide happen. Do all you want personally, that’s all great. But my entire point was that you all say, “I’m the real anti-genocider! And all these people are wrong!” No matter that they want what you supposedly want.
Stop driving a wedge in the movement by high roading people who want the same thing you do. There’s a huge rash of this behavior, and that’s what I’m trying to call out. You can do all the good you want, but if you then go into the community to salt the earth behind you for all those who want what you do, you’re negating any good you’ve done.

I said no such thing, nor did I even imply such a thing.
If you want to tell people to stop things, tell yourself stop including me in the things you're saying about other people.
I do a shitload to try to stop this genocide with what is in my extremely limited power and I have never even implied either of the things you have put in quotes.

If you cared about queers and minorities, you would be demanding the opposition take popular positions in order to win, right?

It's right to be angry. I don't have an answer. I think few people realize that most genocides are actually successful and forgotten.

The mods on Lemmy are not good. They help incite shouting matches at different communities for fun including ones that have the developers for Lemmy itself, let basic bait for profiling others exist because they proclaim to let the other side speak up if they wanted to after bashing them down.
They will turn around and unironically claim to be just janitors with no power while ignoring the very position of mod gives them a lead role in how discussions are held.Lemmy is just 4chan for neo liberals and the mods act like it.

Everything was at stake, so Democrats brought out Dick Cheney, Mark Cuban & continued spewed anti-Palestinian messaging to help Trump win. Got it.

I agree. But you'll get attacked for saying things like that. Look at all the downvotes from people that are pro-genocide.

Netanyahu was smirking the whole time. No one is going to stop him.

Yeah, I've blocked them. I can tell, at minimally, they were not interested in any good faith discussion.

As long as trump gets a new golf course and hotel, I don't think he really cares.

Yeah I try not to block since it lets people still comment on your stuff unheeded and without response but it is far better for mental health to just block and not deal with it. They do not handle conversation well and a lot of the louder Lemmings view conversations as a winner takes all brawl for superiority through mob support of upvotes.
Just so you know FlyingSquid is also one of the largest posters on lemmy.world and you may see less if you stick to .world communities.

Remove both sides from power, and stop thinking in the box of "we are given the choice of two evils and choose the lesser one." No! Break the box and remove the people from power who only offer evils as choice.
If people didn't fall over backwards to defend the Democrats and pushed for a third party instead, if there had been more protests, if there had been direct actions against arms manufacturer and other complicit companies, the US might had reevaluated its support for the genocide. And these things still need to be done. The solution does not come from either the Republicans or Democrats, who both supported and still support the genocide of Palestinians, like they both supported the mass slaughter of Iraqis and Afghanis, like they both supported the mass slaughter of Vietnamese, like they both supported the genocide of native Americans...
