    You know the West Bank isn’t Gaza, right? And that it’s much, much larger, no? You’re seriously now arguing that more and faster genocide is better? You sick duck.

      palestine in 1948 was larger but that didn’t stop anything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre even today hundreds of palestinian in wb have their home taken away by settlers at gun point, sometimes just grenades are thrown into the homes with children.

      You’re seriously now arguing that more and faster genocide is better? You sick duck.

      am i wrong? and what else i am supposed to do ? we call ourselves a democracy but in elections we don’t even get an option of not having a genocide even when 70% americans are against it and 90% democrats. the irony that our “democratic” party can just tell its entire voter base to stfu on such issues.
