This is why I take all the free Palestine talking points with a grain of salt.

"if I don't like someone, everything they say is wrong"
Did you know water is wet? Or are you going to disagree with that one too?

So why do you agree with the US who has openly stated if Trump wins they'll invade Mexico?

*Edit: I'm really hoping you'll resort to whataboutism. Since your entire argument is a whataboutism. You're saying you won't believe genocide victims because what about China doing stuff that has nothing to do with Gaza.
Your article says some cherry picked Republicans who are following Trump may want to invade Mexico.
That’s not the “US”.
Gee I wonder why you would lie about what the article says.
Besides Trump is Putins biggest fanboy so obviously Trump is going to try to be like Putin.
Lol the leader of the election polls to be the next president is literally saying he'll invade Mexico. Sure Mexico has no worries. It's just the likely leader of USA saying it.
Your article doesn’t say he will invade Mexico. It says Trump wants to go after the cartel in Mexico that are causing the fentanyl crisis in the US.
Trump says stupid shit that’s why he lost the 2020 election.
Polls predicted Hillary Clinton to win in 2016. How accurate were those polls?
Also, the US isn’t a dictatorship so the president doesn’t have the power to invade countries.
Do any of these facts change your stance on the subject? No because you’re arguing in bad faith and pushing Chinese/Russian whataboutisms.
Gotcha! Yes it is whataboutism. Just like what you're doing with China and their calls for peace in Gaza. Everything you said about China is arguing in bad faith and pushing US whataboutisms.
*Edit I love it I knew you were going to do this. Look at my comments above I'll quote myself

So I'm assuming you must take all Ukraine's talking points with a grain of salt too right?

After all China's calling for a ceasefire there too.
[deleted]
That's literally not the article I linked. Also we are talking about a call to a ceasefire, which China has called for on both conflicts.
*Edit: Also
Beijing supporting the Kremlin’s plans economically rather than openly amid international pressure.
China is also the US's second largest trade partner. Your article is just repeating that yes, China will sell to countries that commit war crimes. They never said they would stop and your article is loudly proclaiming it. That's nice, but irrelevant.
You assume wrong
Lol, of course. I knew you were a hypocrite. The post isn't for you but for everyone else to see that.
Russia is a vassal state of China. If China wanted to stop the invasion of Ukraine they could. Instead they are funding the invasion of Ukraine by buying Russian oil.
Also, US intelligence warned the world that Russia was invading Ukraine before it happened. That means US intelligence knows things the rest of the world doesn’t. So if US intelligence says it’s important to support Israel then they have earned my trust.
Israel is a vassal state of USA. If USA wanted to stop the invasion of Palestine they could. Instead they are funding the invasion of Palestine by SENDING LITERAL WEAPONS OF DEATH.
Also, Chinese intelligence warned the world that USA was causing havoc in the middle east before it happened. That means Chinese intelligence knows things the rest of the world doesn’t. So if Chinese intelligence says it’s important to be neutral and continue business with Russia then they have earned my trust.

Donbas and Luhansk was constantly attacked by Ukraine. That's what caused Russia to enter Ukraine.
The same can't be said about Palestine.
But keep pushing American propaganda like you care, even while USA is openly talking about bombing TMSC to the ground if China invades Taiwan.
*Edit: Or how America openly talks about invading Mexico, assassinates Iranian people, refuses to remove bases from Iraq and Syria in opposition to their sovereign government wishes. I could go on.

I did not claim that. Clearly your reading comprehension skills is in question.
Donbas and Luhansk was constantly attacked by Ukraine. That's what caused Russia to enter Ukraine.
This is what you said. If you’re not claiming that then how is it relevant to this conversation?
Which is correct. Ukraine constantly attacked Donbas and Luhansk. I didn't say they attacked first. Just like Hamas didn't attack first. Israel was killing Palestinians before the Oct 7th attack. But of course, you didn't know that.
