    To use your analogy of the holocaust, we are Japan in this situation. While we can do something its so little as to be borderline fuck all. Best we could do is arrange an accident with Netanyahu, but yet again that could make it worse.

      When something is wrong, taking a stand against it isn’t only about it being effective. It’s about showing publicly that something is wrong.

      I don’t kidnap people and force them to live in my compost bin. When I hear of others acting in this way, I condemn it. Me not doing this does not effectively stop others from doing it. But I still do it, as it is my moral duty.

      I believe that killing innocent people by bombing schools and hospitals is at least as bad as the action I just described.

        Hard agree, but that doesn’t change the fact that voting for Harris is a better choice that either voting for Trump or not voting at all.

      Okay this is nothing more than American copium. Israel survives off American aid and trade, and threatening to cut either off would get them to back off faster than you could say genocide. This isn’t theory; it’s been done before.

        The openly fascist granddaughter of Mussolini, Italian PM of Italy Meloni has now cut off weapons to Israel. Biden is to the right of an open fascist.

      So Reagan was able to do something, Thatcher was able to do something, Baby Bush was able to do something. But Biden can’t?
