Trump asked Bibi to CONTINUE THE GENOCIDE FOR HIS POLITICAL GAIN but you're not concerned by that unfortunate tidbit. No siree.

They are owner-class puppets pushing for more forever wars for natural resources and profits, while the working class continues to die.

You're acting like that was her personal decision and not an order she had to follow rather than her personal view

Could she have resigned instead?

Sure. And just like when people did it in the trump admin, the people you disagree with would just appoint someone who agrees with them.

If she had a problem with it, she wouldn't have been put into that role. If your boss wants you to do something unethical, you should either resign or speak up against it. Anything else is full complicity.

Then let those people be the piece of shit. This isn't an excuse.

So she was just following orders? I wonder where that defense was tried before...

"Some other people are even more Evil" isn't the great excuse for evildoing that you seem to think it is.

How did it work when people resigned under trump?

Did it make his admin better?

Or did trump replace them with worse people and do worse shit?

This ain't a hypothetical, we literally just saw how it plays out...

What's happening over there sucks, it is just fucking awful and noone seems to want tondo anything about. People here arguing that democrats are bad because of this, people trying to call other people hypocrits, arguing that every argument is a fallacy.

The point at the end of the day is genocide is awful, and shame on those supporting it. I'll take these democrats to task come election time when there's a better democrat or successful new progressive liberal to take their place. That's what we do instead of blindly following a party, but this change is gradually and the only way it happens is if trump loses.

The best shot we have is a mixed bag of democrats and there's no shame in working with what we have. To abstain from voting while waiting for perfection now instead of voting to begin the changes for the future is shortsighted and foolish.
