I haven't heard any liberals trying to "both sides" the issue. I have heard Republicans expressing their support for the genocide though.
You didn’t hear the US state dept repeatedly claiming “Israel has a right to defend itself” for 6 straight months after the Hamas attack? They still won’t let corpo media use the term genocide, some high profile reporters have even resigned over it.
Corrupt govt actions does not equal how everyday liberals feel. Come on.
I see people agreeing it's complex, because it is. But the majority of liberals I see, across multiple mediums, are against this. Not all of course, %100 of a group rarely does something, but anyone in these comments both siding this while also just oddly admitting to being liberal are not the majority.
That's too hard to understand. Just say they support Genocide, it makes it all so easy! Surely, they can't be deeply dissatisfied while remaining rational about the devastating implications of wavering when christo-fascism is looming on the horizon.
Now that I kinda think about it.... no no, they love genocide. Ez pz.
Average citizens didn't get put on trial. If you knew anything about WW2 you'd know the citizens suffered from the Nazi uprising as well.
So now america is preforming the genocide in palestine? Or you talking another genocide in america?
Edit:
Please I'm just looking for a single coherent thought.
So this is analogous to Germeny in WWII? An exact 1:1
... sure
Nah, prob tired of your bad faith "all genocides are the same" stance. Using WW2 to justify all your points as if the two are the same.
That's not even the argument. The argument was I would be treated like a post WWII german.
... sure
Jfc dude, you've lost the plot
And how do you know they're liberals?
Do you believe everything you see on the internet? It explains a lot about you.
I'm giving you exactly what you're putting out there.
You haven't been to Lemmy.world then, lol.
Reddits r/worldnews sub is probably the worst.
My brother in Christ, our president is literally Joedolf "if there wasn't an Israel, we would have to invent an Israel to secure our interests in the region" Bidler.
It's likely that the use of "Western Liberals" here is meant to include both major US political parties.
You won't see many of us both side shit regarding this. It's an attempt to genocide, pretty easy. What you will see are people, often very angry, who immediately make assumptions, claim we are genocide lovers, and refuse to listen to literally anything, including their target agreeing with them. Tbh part of me feels as if Republicans are in the comment sections trying to split hairs and widen divisions at times.
People are going to argue with you, probably post the one video link in existence
