    Harris was campaigning and bibi knew he had leverage, because the worse it got, the more anti-israel pro-palestine vote she’d lose. Lose-lose-lose situation for Harris, Palestine, anti-israel voters. That the left was not more strategic about this (e.g. Bernie’s stance, which was strategic), I blame on great russian disinfo and agitators, not just shit intrinsic takes from the left.

      Yup. And she let him play her like a fiddle. And there are like, 3 anti-Israel voters in the US. Harris lost because of anti-genocide voters, not because of anti-Israeli voters. You seem to be implying that anti-genocide = anti-Israeli.

      If you believe that the only way a person can be an Israeli is if they support the massacre of innocent civilians, then you are racist anti-Semitic trash that doesn’t deserve to live. If that is the case, please chain yourself to a large rock, and throw the rock in the ocean.

        you really didn’t get the point, did you? Anti-bibi, anti-genocide, anti-whatever-israel-is-doing. Nitpicking about words and trying to own the moral high ground instead of focusing on the only path that gave you a little leverage. But again, it is not your fault, it was mostly a successful two-pronged campaign by disinformation centrals coming from the left and the right.
