Yeah Trump and co have been speaking about it for months that's what we were saying.
Maybe when someone tells you who they are, listen.

Less Palestinians are dying, less bombs are being dropped, people are returning to Northern Gaza
What planet are you on, have you read the OP?
The well being of the Palestinians hinged on the unhingedness of bad orange man.
Yes an actual leftist not a useful idiot for conservatives. Soak it in.
It's not relevant, explain simply why any of what you posted means letting Trump get in was the better choice.
Brother I am not reading that it is not relevant to my point, and I'm not a liberal. Anarchist and not American.
Would have happened either way no matter who was in charge. US was always going to back Israel at first. If Trump had won they’d already have hotels up and the mass graves would be pushing up daisies.
No, the Zionist propaganda that convinced you both sides are the same.
All those things are horrific, but there’s always something worse.
Most western cultures think that they've experienced moral progress over time. These aren't mere intuitions, however, as these observations often admit of some deep analysis. For example, some argue that our modern liberal intuitions (e.g. everyone is born free, etc.) are grounded in the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes was responding to earlier moral philosophy and was responded to himself in turn. Kant distilled these intuitions into a rigorous metaphysics of moral philosophy, which was still used quite actively well into the 70s.
Now, philosophers don't think that 'views have changed, therefore there is no truth.' Instead, they realize that good analysis of these earlier arguments reveals that they're close to right but skate around some important moral issues that can be unpacked with analysis. There's truth that can be found. It appears to all the relevant experts that moral thought is developing in a way that's strongly analogous to mathematical or natural scientific thought.
These are some of the reasons that subjectivism and relativism are extremely unpopular among experts.
Although we can observe and say that although there are people who have different moral systems than us, such as psychopaths and Spartans; we can actually scientifically evaluate the merits of the competing moral systems and their objective performance in the long run and historically. Historically, evolution has shown that altruistic humans are indeed "fitter" and objectively, game theory has shown that cooperative strategies are objectively better than selfish strategies in the long run.
You don't need examples or have to worry about cherry-picking. They're not ours to use. You can't humanely take a life of something that doesn't want to die.
