“I never defended Democrats. Nor do I think Democrats are even relevant anymore. My whole point in this thread is a bunch of people are arguing over Democrats and Republicans and not giving a shit about Palestinians, just using them as pawns to argue about American politics.”
Ok, judging by the quote from another post of yours it seems we’re mis-interpreting each others intervention by reading more into them that what’s actually there.
As I’ve explained in this I’ll use my soapbox to point out the hypocrisy of any Genocide supported in American politics because by all indications only a change in American politics can stop what Israel is doing and stop it happenning again in the future. I don’t care about American politics per-se, I care about the most efficient means to change things in Palestine to a fair situation and that passes by either a change of American politics or America removing itself entirelly from playing kingmaker in that area (which itself is also a change in American politics)
As for love of Palestinians, I have no love for Palestinians, or Israelis, or Americans or even my countrymen, the Portuguese. I don’t operate at the emotional tribalist level.
My emotions are abhorrence of pain, suffering and oppression being inflicted to others and empathising with those who are Oppressed, treated unfairly, made to suffer or even killed and from that comes anger against those doing it and those who support them. I will and have literally sacrificed myself to avoid that others are hurt even when they’re not close friends or family.
The other side of the very same empathy that genuinelly makes me feel good that you got your daughter out of Trumps America before she was made to hurt because of the gender or those she naturally loves, is what makes me rage against the people who would support directly or indirectly the extreme pain, suffering, misery, trauma, ruined lives and desth being infliced on millions in Palestine.
My support has nothing at all to do with their nationality or ethnicity and all to do with them being human beings who are being made to suffer undescribable pain through no fault of their own by people for whom not even the innocence and powerlessness of childhood in their victims will limit their violence.

That much is clear since you apparently aren’t even interested in asking them what they need.
