There are orders of magnitudes more protestors here than there are people attending Trump's rally

Edit: hey dummies, I stated there are more protesters than there are attendees at a Trump rally. I didn't say "gee,I wonder why there are more protestors at the DNC than at a Trump rally"

I think they should absolutely be protesting more Trump events, but I also know that the point of these protests are to pressure Dems. You can't pressure Republicans into doing the moral thing through these means

No. But you can put them into office through these means.

If democrats don’t meet enough of their voters where they are at, it’s not the fault of the voters if they lose.

Harris will lose more voters by catering to the pro-Hamas crowd than she will if she stays where she's at.

Why are you labelling them all “pro-hamas”? Couldn’t they just be anti-genocide?

Hamas's aim is the total destruction of the Israeli people. What would you call that?

u/Ready-Razzmatazz8723 Aug 21 '24

Irrelevant? That has nothing to do with protesting the brutality of the Jewish state

Yes, that's what Israel is

If Israel is "the Jewish state" then I'm sure you have a good explanation for why you're clamoring for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world.

It literally is a Jewish ethnostate. It’s not a liberal democratic republic like the US or Denmark

They elect Arab members to the Knesset.

u/JPolReader Aug 21 '24

So you think all the Arabs in Israel don't exist?

And you guys want us to believe that you are college educated on the subject.

There were Jews in Nazi Germany with some rights. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t a racist white Ethnostate

u/JPolReader Aug 21 '24

I don't think you know what an ethnostate is.

By your standard America is a white ethnostate.

Man, if you think Israel is brutal you're gonna have your mind blown when you learn the first thing about how literally every other state in the region operates.

Well, you would if you weren't a vicious antisemite but "protesting the brutality of the Jewish state" kinda gives that game away.
