They are not stupid; they are deliberately misunderstanding.
I feel a little bit silly even trying to “explain” this like there will be anyone who’s informed by it, but no one here is pro genocide. I would be surprised if you could find 5 people on Lemmy ever who said that genocide is good if done by Democrats, or at any other time.
Here is where to find a protest; go there and meet some new friends, do what you can to stop the genocide. How to do it, I don’t really know, but posting on Lemmy about not voting for Biden will not accomplish it for a couple of different reasons.

Lot of column A, little of column B.
“Go to this place and keep your protest away from my peaceful politics-free community.”
It is certainly not the case that people here need any encouragement to be louder about not wanting their candidate supporting genocide.
I edited it for the both of you to make if more fair, hopefully you don’t still take issue with the framing
You claim that I think genocide is fine, and then hope I don’t take issue with the framing?
This is a very bizarre conversation
I’m not saying you think it’s fine, i’m saying you need to convince no-genocide voters that it’s at least acceptable.
It’s not acceptable. There are a lot of people arguing that it is not genocide, but there are zero people arguing that any genocide is acceptable.
Acceptable in exchange for less of it?
I’m really trying to work with you here. You are all here spending time on communicating something, what is it you’re trying to do by it?
If it isn’t to convince people on the fence about Biden because of his support of Israel, what is it exactly?
