This speaks volumes, and you probably have no idea why. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group Genocide implies intention. Israel's intention is not to eradicate Arabs or Muslims, it is defense against a hostile enemy and return of the people they kidnapped. 20% of Israeli citizens are Arab Muslim and they are not being attacked like Gaza is. Just because Israel just happens to be attacked by a belligerent enemy territory that is monoethnic does not make defending themselves genocide. Trump, however, does target people with his racist policies specifically because they are Arab Muslim. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world [S] -1 points 2 years ago* (1 child) You do realize forcing people to vote for Biden may lead to the Streisand effect. And result in voters having such disdain for Biden and his supporters that they refuse to vote at all. Also: Raz Segal is an associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University and the endowed professor in the study of modern genocide Maybe rethink your whole process. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Forcing them? I'm pointing out that not doing so works against said people's interests. Not voting for Biden is choosing the greater evil and it will lead to the opposite of what they want. It's like refusing to buy property when playing monopoly then complaining about losing the game. I fail to see how the Streisand effect is relevant here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world [S] -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Me. You’re persuading me not to vote. And the more you whine about “interests,” the more it makes me dislike Biden. So, yeah, it applies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Did I force you to be politically stupid by intentionally ignoring the realities of our political system? No, that's all you bud.
