    I know that I’m not.

    I wonder if Palestinians, whose situation is way worse with Trump at the helm, give a flying fuck about your “clear” conscience.

    Give me what I want (ending the mass slaughter of innocents) or we all go down together.

    Spoken like a true selfish little bitch.

      I created an account just to say this: I am Palestinian, believe it or not, and to me and everyone I know, American presidents are all the same.

      I don’t think that Trump is in any way better than any other candidate would have been, but I don’t care if you’re polite about committing genocide like the democrats want it to be or if you’re full on honest about committing genocide. The outcome is the same to me, I just want it to stop, "less bad“ isn’t enough.

      Please don’t use Palestinians as a token for your agenda, because we don’t support it.

      And now I’ll abandon this account again even though I’m very proud of the name

      selfish

      I’d say this is a revealing word, except that you already openly admitted that you think American lives are inherently more valuable than those of foreigners.

      But it’s revealing because it shows that you are fundamentally incapable of seeing Palestinians as human beings. You are therefore only able to conceive of my position as some kind of “pet cause,” that is exclusively about me and my feelings. The reality is that my position comes from a place of selflessness, of placing the lives of the marginalized victims of my country above my own concerns and interests. But in your mind, the lives of Palestinians have no value except insofar as an American, a human, cares about them.

      You are a disgusting fascist that has no value to contribute to the discussion, you are my enemy and our goals are fundamentally opposite. Unlike you, I believe that all people are created equal. The only problem you have with Trump is that he doesn’t respect decorum, on every other point his actions are completely consistent with your chauvinistic values.

      I only have three more words to say to scum like you: Follow Your Leader.
