No, I thought I might get you to see it more clearly if you imagined it happening to you. Less abstract that wa. Guess I didn't account for you having zero empathy AND no imagination/understanding.
The US has supported Isreal since there was one
Holy sunk cost fallacy, Batman! Just because the US government has had a long history of defending Netanyahu and other far right warn criminals doesn't mean that continuing to do so is a good idea or even not reprehensible. You know that they're denying the millions of Palestinians in Gaza food, water and medicine too, now? Does that sound like a good thing to support to you? Something we need to make sure someone gets away with?
if you think you, as a regular government employee will change that policy
That's not what anyone except you is saying, though. They're not asking to dictate policy. They're just not overly thrilled by being censored and met with hostility for not seeing eye to eye with it.
If you don't get that by now
then you may not be smart enough
for this conversation to be worth any more time and effort. Have the day you deserve.
Imagine it was YOUR people, even FAMILY members of yours being systematically slaughtered and displaced in what amounts to ethnic cleansing. Imagine that your employer is actively siding with the government trying to eradicate your people and you're not even allowed to criticise that stance.
Would YOU be fine with just meekly resigning from what might otherwise be your dream job, not certain where your next rent check would come from? Or would you speak up and, failing that, want others to speak up for you?
Well you're sure as shit not conceding that it's a bad thing to support genocide and then freeze out anyone who disagrees and you ARE deflecting blame onto the abused government employees so yeah, I'd say that amounts to a defence.
They actually can't. Afair they literally aren't allowed to vote on anything substantive until they have a speaker. Of course, that suits most of the GOP just fine.
Not everyone can afford to just change jobs because their current employer is committing and/or supporting human rights abuses. You're sounding very "free" market libertarian right now.
More like one of those "we're gonna pretend to listen and then we're gonna keep providing financing and political cover for the atrocities no matter what they say" things.
Before getting a phone with GPS, I'd be late for everything because I always got hopelessly lost, sometimes more than an hour of just desperately trying to find somewhere that was easy for most people to find.
I'm never trying to find my way without GPS and mass transit apps again if I can help it!
Also, she's not even a moderate like the Dem leadership is pretending. She's a paleoconservative like her dad who only appears moderate in the company of fascists and lunatics, which is the vast majority of GOP politicians in Washington DC and most states now 😮💨
Must be a politician.
