Either you are blind or don’t want to hear it. People have been calling out Trump for this genocide since day one. Heck, there’s hundreds of posts doing that right now on Lemmy
Exactly. Genocide Joe became an ampliganda slogan during the election. It’s completely justified to criticize Biden’s support for Israel. The problem is that wasn’t a valid distinction between him and Trump, given Trump’s prior support for Netanyahu.
In his first term, Trump removed restrictions on Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory. Netanyahu was so grateful, he named a settlement after Trump in Golan Heights. Trump also stated that “Israel should just finish the job, and stop recording videos” of their atrocities, saying they’re losing the PR war.
No one is defending Biden’s support of Israel. We’re saying that moniker was used to disengage voters, leading to Trump’s win, and ultimately the eradication of the West Bank in favor of a billionaire resort.
You’re making a lot of assumptions about me matey.
It’s more of an observation. A few months ago it was all Genocide Joe this, Genocide Joe that, Genocide Joe the other, and now that the war has resumed with the USA having released more powerful bombs that Joe was holding back it’s somewhat surprising that there apparently hasn’t been a peep from anyone. But as you say, if you are seeing it then maybe my feed is too well filtered.
I’m confused. Why does seeing “Genocide Joe” and not seeing “Genocide Don” mean there’s a problem with my moral compass? How exactly am I at fault for other people not posting stuff?

Neither of those assumptions are true. Perhaps I’m just too good at blocking this stuff. The only “genocide Don” stuff I’ve seen is in my own posts.
So your grudge isn’t about people calling out the genocide? It is specifically about the “genocide joe” moniker?
