Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.
Um… what does any of that have to do with the subject of the post though? The OP stated:
I said I don’t know that “War Criminals” is the right way to frame what they did. I do not disagree with your point that:
It’s a valid point, but I didn’t suggest not holding them accountable, I suggested being precise in how we frame what they did wrong. We devalue the term “War Crime” if we use it too loosely.
Dude, what are you even talking about? We’re talking about the (prospective) candidates. That’s what this whole conversation has been about. My point was about how to frame the way we talk about it. I never suggested they shouldn’t be thoroughly vetted by the voter and people shouldn’t be held accountable for their bad decisions. Who are you arguing with? Because it doesn’t sound like anything I said.
