    Travel bans don’t do a damn thing for people that can’t leave the area they’re being genocide in.

    Gaza’s borders are forcibly closed by Israel.

    So, that argument is meaningless.

    Secondly, the US could end Israel’s genocide with a single phone call, just like has been done EVERY OTHER SINGLE FUCKING TIME BEFORE!

    That argument “but we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” is either ignorant beyond belief or made in bad faith to argue for continuing the genocide.

      First off, you are using many strawman fallacies and this is where this conversation always breaks down. I never claimed any of this shit you are claiming.

      Secondly, the US could end Israel’s genocide with a single phone call, just like has been done EVERY OTHER SINGLE FUCKING TIME BEFORE!

      I would like for you to elaborate on this, I have not heard the argument we can actually stop the war, I would love for you to back that up. I was under the impression we have been and are still trying to get a ceasefire. That has been the written goal for the state department for a while now.

      That argument “but we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas”

      Strawman, never made this claim.

      or made in bad faith to argue for continuing the genocide.

      Oooh strawman within a strawman. When did I advocate for genocide? When did I say I even support the Democrats ffs? You’re making a lot of assumptions here.
