      Yeah apparently there was something going on where USSR and Jews had an amicable relationship because of the history of Jewish people always existing in Russia, and them saving them from nazi Germany

            So my history on Eastern Europe is quite lacking and this might be completely wrong but from what I recall Russia conquered a few countries like Poland and Ukraine and suddenly they had Jews living in Russian territory. Then Russia started doing Pogroms (The word Pogrom was invented in Russia). Knowing that, I would assume that German Jews at that time would not be very warm to Russian conquest but I really don’t have enough historical knowledge on the subject.

              Me neither. 😁

              But yeah, that’s kind of my take on it too. Thanks for your reply. 🙂

      Yeah Biden absolutely could’ve withheld aid and ended the genocide with 1 phone call but he loves genocide too much

        I think it’s indifference rather than love, but yeah, he could have done so much with so little to stop it, with little risk of the Democrats losing the White House in 2024. Ditto Harris. (Ditto Trump—health concerns aside, he still has 45 months to at least try to redeem himself a bit.)

        I sometimes think of this when leftists, particularly tankies, attack (presumably all) non-far-right non-leftists for dithering, or allegedly dithering, on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict;

        but yeah, Joe Biden was/is bad for supporting Israel. Ditto Harris, Bill Maher, and Fetterman.

          And just to be clear, we’re not attacking them for “dithering” on the Palestine genocide (not “conflict”, genocide); we’re attacking them for actively and consistently supporting the genocide. The idea that they’re just “dithering” is a lie liberals tell themselves so they can keep supporting genocidal fascists without feeling bad about themselves.

              You know somebody has completely run out of arguments when they start doing the “So according to you , [something that in no way resembles anything say said]” thing.

                  OK. I can’t stop you from ignoring what I said and making up your own unrelated statement in your imagination.

                    I’ll put it in question form.

                    Do you believe that there are no non-leftists who oppose the genocide of Palestinians?

                    Do you believe that there are liberals who oppose the genocide of Palestinians?
