Never saw a single protest when Obama was dropping a bomb every 20 seconds in 2016. I guess the noble peace prize made it okay.

- explaininjs 3y ago“I don’t think people should care about government funded genocide now, after all they didn’t care before” isn’t really the dunk you think it is.
- vuln 3y agoHow many civilians died in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan? Where were the protests? Israeli leadership is seen as right wing. If they were seen as left no one would even blink an eye. Obama was wholesale slaughtering people in 7 countries.
- explaininjs 3y agoWhat’s your point?
- op00to 3y agoIs there something specific about Israel/Palestine that isn’t present in those other conflicts? Something about the religion of one of the belligerents, perhaps?
- explaininjs 3y agoAgain, what’s your point? Don’t beat around the bush. Make a claim and provide a rational argument to support it. If you aren’t willing/able to do that, there’s no point debating you.
- catlover76 3y ago> How many civilians died in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan? Where were the protests? There definitely fucking were protests against the Iraq war o_O Really, for all of the examples you provided, the situation is either that a) our government wasn't among the bad actors or allied therewith (e.g. Syria--do you want people to protest ISIS or the Asad regime or something? What would be the point?); b) there were protests, and there was criticism, and there was condemnation, and you seem to be ignorant of them so you assume nobody else cared either
- serf 3y agoare you suggesting there has been a year in US history devoid of protests -- or that people were unanimously happy with Obama and every one of his strategies? neither are true.
- dmoy 3y agoThere were definitely Syria war protests here in Seattle, 10 years ago. Substantial enough for ~1k people or so to block 2nd Ave
- comte7092 3y agoHow dare these teenagers not protest against war 7 years ago! Sure they care now, but where were they when they were 8???
