Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.
So you’re saying if the Democrat party doesn’t achieve the level of purity you desire, then you’re fine allowing a party demonstrably worse (in every conceivable way) to maintain control of our lives and our futures?
Pardon me, but that sounds unbelievably stupid.
What other populations are you willing to sacrifice? Why stop at “just” Palestinians? Should I also make allowances for transphobia and homophobia? What if they promise to just keep helping me as a white man, but decide we can sacrifice other minority communities on the altar of liberalism? No. Either equality for all, or for none.
So your answer is to do nothing to prevent the party that’s embracing transphobia, homophobia, and xenophobia from taking power? You should try thinking a little harder about the consequences of your actions next time.
