"How do you feel now that Trump is calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians"
that question only makes sense on the premise that Biden didn't call for and commit ethnic cleansing!

Nov 4th is the 4th anniversary of the declaration of war, a horrible war that would killed half a million people in two years, mostly Tigrayan civilians, victims of crimes against humanity & a humanitarian siege. Tigrayan communities are commemorating genocide memorial day.

The only way to deal with institutions commuting crime is the same way you deal with people who commit crimes: you either impose costs on them so they reverse course (crippling or seizing their resources), or forcefully apprehend them. No amount of appealing to words on paper is going to stop them

Left-sympathizers are still informed by a hierarchical morality that is deliberately constructed to serve the state, where violence committed by the state is seen as legitimate or justified, whereas violence committed by regular folk against the state is barbaric and unjustified.
