I recently commented on the KamalaHarris subreddit pointing out that maybe supporting a genocide was a losing strategy, and was told that the genocide wasn't real.

When I pointed out I know people who have had family killed in Palestine, I got downvoted.

The people at the heart of the democratic party genuinely believe that the Palestinian genocide is a myth. It's wild.

It's incredible. They've not learnt any lessons. Their base wants them to go left. They instead try to court right wing votes. Of course they lose.

These Palestinian Americans had the same opportunity for evacuation as Israeli Americans. All they had to do was was present themselves at either the US Embassy or consulate in ....(checks notes).... Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.

Exactly, they just needed to approach IDF soldiers and ask for directions to Israel. They’d be more than happy to help and wouldn’t shoot at all!
