This would be a powerful and cogent piece in other circumstances. But in order to view it as such, it is necessary to pretend that an intentional, and intentionally barbaric genocide such as we have not seen since the Holocaust is not taking place. Is not funded and enabled by Biden and Harris and would not be continued by Trump. Political discourse is, more often than not, predicated on a game of 'let's pretend' with respect to those issues that detract from the argument for or against a political candidate, party or philosophy. Let's pretend that there is not some glaring hole, some serious crime, some horrific history or consequence shadowing the person, policy or agenda to which we subscribe. Let's look at the 'other guy' for those demerits instead.
This time, what you are doing here is unconscionable. You are not alone but that changes the gravity of your crime - and it is a crime in international law - not at all. To draw a veil cross participation in genocide is to enable it. Any media is as much bound by the imperative *not* to enable genocide as state officials and individuals. So for those who require it to be simple:
The evidence of deliberate, intentional, intensely cruel genocide against the Palestinian people is problematic only in that there is too much it to permit a full hearing of each of its component crimes;
The evidence of crimes against humanity and of violations of humanitarian law is on public display, every day.
The requirement of the peremptory norms of international law and specifically those established from Nuremberg to the UN Charter are beyond dispute and available for you to reference yourself.
This election is not, as others may have been, a matter of personal opinion. You may not endorse genocide or any candidate who endorses, is participating in or has committed to participating in genocide. OR who is likely to meet those criteria.
The responsibility we all have at this moment is to do whatever is in our power to halt the mass murder taking place in Palestine. That is internationals law. If you normalise those who are participating in and enabling those crimes, if you assist them to continue to participate by cloaking their crimes, you become an accomplice.
AS it turns out, the 'numbing election' is precisely the right title - you and are others writing in the vein are numbing the electorate to the immediate and only test of our humanity, of 'the rules based order' and of our future as people of conscience. You can and must address this.
I agree with much of your your narrative and commend you for the sincere expressions. It shows how deeply the genocide has affected each life and its emotional base. I have addressed the genocide in many articles. This article discusses the anomalies in the electoral process and does not address the issues. Would be too confusing to do both.
