The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is "trying to hold" Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

      Hey bud, genocide denial isn’t genocide support. And while I truly believe genocide is happening, (mods- take note that I said this as I’m certain they’re reporting me for genocide denial) there will always be other people out there who try and define things by their own terms. This doesn’t make them right- but we all know your false equivalence has no filter, or ability to reason.

      If someone says “I don’t have cancer” when they have cancer, that doesn’t make them pro cancer. It’s just makes them in denial.

      In short- saying that it is’t genocide isn’t saying they would support it if it were. And it’s well known that you constantly accuse everyone that calls you out as a genocide supporter. So since we’re handing our advice….

      Maybe don’t do that.

          So you admit then, that Palestinians committed an act of genocide against Israel on Oct. 7.

          And don’t deny it’s a genocide, cause you know what that means.

          And I should specify that no, I don’t seriously take that position. I’m really just here to be an asshole about faulty logic.

          I’m not going to argue this with you. Just call me a “gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtEr” and begone.

            Would you prefer a genocide denier, since you’re pretending they’re not the same thing?

              Did you purposefully ignore that I said in my comment that I absolutely agree that it’s happening?

              See?

              It’s so easy to get you to prove the accusations against you. You know I didn’t deny shit and anyone that can read can see that, yet you accuse anyway in an obvious display of bad faith trolling.

                Genocide denial is genocide support. Particularly in cases where an obvious genocide is taking place. Not all genocide support is genocide denial.

                  Also… it’s amazing how quickly your comments are upvoted after you post. In a discussion chain that began 12 hours ago and was only recently updated. Seems it’s perfect timing for your support to swoop in. Also, it’s uncanny how often this happens to you.

                  Hmm.

                    You’re whining that I get meaningless upvotes now.

                    Keep pretending that no one on lemmy supports genocide in the face of evidence to the contrary.
