the “real ongoing genocide” will be made worse by Trump.
Why are you putting this in quotes? It's an on-going genocide.
And there's nothing Trump can do to make what's hapoening in Gaza any worse. Israel is doing exactly as they please. There us no more room to push the needle. The fact that you think there's room for "worse" makes me think you don't actually understand what's happening there.
Even if Trump sent troops to help with the killing it wouldn't do anything, because it's a full-blown genocide already and the only thing Israel needs to continue it is what we've bern giving them.
I put it in quotes because I was quoting you. That is why those are called quotation marks.
Again, I am cishet and white, so how is this self-interest?

What the fuck.
You understand the implication of putting something in quotes. It's not my subjective opinion what's happening in Gaza. It's real. No quotes are necessary, same as if we're talking about cars you don't need to put "car" in quotes when you talk about them as if it's some controversial term.
Again, I am cishet and white, so how is this self-interest?
Because Project 2025 will effect you too. The groups you're talking about (lgbt people, brown and black Americans) have already been suffering the consequences of right-wing oppression and neoliberal negligence. The difference now is that those consequences are threatening to bleed over into the comfortable bubbles of neoliberal middle class and it's freaking them out. Suddenly it's this big priority that we all must pitch in together, while for the last 40 years those minorities gave been told they need to accept "slow progress" and "generational change" so that the corporate status quo can continue on without disruption.
What the fuck.
Do you think a Palestinian child cares if it's an American pulling the trigger or an Israeli? Does it make a difference in the result?
I used quotation marks because that is how punctuation works.
Also, the groups I'm talking about have not yet been marched into concentration camps like Project 2025 has planned for one and implies similar issues for the other.
U.S. troops on the ground would make the genocide worse.
You don't seem to understand the concept of a bad thing being made worse. As if Britain aiding the Nazis in the Holocaust by killing all of their own Jews would somehow been equally as bad as what actually happened. Either that, or you're fine with the Gaza genocide being worse and more genocides planned in the U.S., one of them explicitly stated by Project 2025 is a good thing so you can say you told us so.
So which is it- more genocide isn't bad because lots more dead people doesn't make genocide worse or you don't care if there's more genocide because you can gloat afterward?
I'm rejecting your notion that the genocide can be made worse as baseless. You can't fill a bucket that's already full, regardless of how much more water you pour into it.
It's full scale genocide. Nothing is inhibiting Israel, Biden is giving them everything they want already.
They have enough guns, they have enough bombs, they have enough soldiers, they completely control every entrance into Gaza. They control the water, the food, the stopping of aid. They are shooting people indiscriminately in the streets, in hospitals, bombing them in safe zones, pushing them into mass graves.
They have destroyed all the hospitals, all the schools, all the homes, all the infrastructure. They've killed all the press, they've bulldozed all the cemetaries. Children who've lost their entire families areliterally laying down, hoping to get run over by a car or killed.
That's how hopeless the genocide is in Gaza right now. Don't talk to me about vague "worse" options, as if that will give me a reason to ignore what's being done.
You can't actually offer up anything except "Maybe the American-made and delivered bullet that kills a Palestinian will be shot out of a gun held by a US soldier instead of and IDF soldier". That means nothing to me, it's immaterial to the real concern.
So if the hundreds of thousands of Jews that lived in the UK were also put in the ovens, that wouldn't have been as worse as the six million who already were.
That is what you are saying?
So six million and one is your limit then. Mine is lower.
I see, some people's lives aren't worth saving. So much for equality.
Palestinians, apparently, yes. That's the whole problem.
You want me to believe it's ok to off-shore the consequences of our political failings, I just don't accept that as a viable way towards changing the problem of zionism in the Democratic party.
You just told me saving one life in the holocaust wasn't worth it. Is saving one Palestinian life worth it? Is one Palestinian life in 2024 worth more than one Jewish life in 1939?
