They both are objectively Zionist genocide supporters. The only difference is the tone of their rhetoric, the children will die all the same.
says who?
Is the only "non zionist genocide supporter" position that israel needs to cease existence tomorrow?
According to tankies, the only "non-zionist genocide supporter" position is actually the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Jews.
they engage in binary extremism, anything short of THIS particular outcome is unacceptable by any amount, and anything that isn't this is quite literally fascist nazi genocide of an entire group of people (who arguably might not even exist in significant capacity) granted i don't know much about the middle east, but i'd have to guess Palestinians are pretty similar to the average arab. But i could be completely wrong lol.
Even if that were true, there's a value proposition to work through here. Like most sane people, I typically prioritize my own children and the children of people I know over people in a country on the other side of the planet I will never interact with and whose fate will never affect in the slightest. That's just basic triage.
This is not to say I don't care about them, but looking at it from a purely pragmatic stance, it's not an issue that's going to change my position am inch on who to vote for in this election.
