    Sounds like Nikki Haley is supposed to be fined half a million dollars in that there anti genocide law you linked to:

    Whoever directly and publicly incites another to violate subsection (a) shall be fined not more than $500,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

    I don’t think you can interpret Nikki Haley writing “finish them” on an Israeli bomb as anything other than a call to genocide.

    Sorry if that interrupts your attempt to make this news article not about Nikki Haley writing “finish them” on an Israeli bomb.

      But she obviously will never be charged. Ever.

      Genocide is bad because it’s evil, not because it’s illegal. Idk why you’re fixated on laws here

        Which would make Nikki Haley writing “finish them” on an Israeli bomb when Israel is already bombing vast numbers of civilians in Gaza about the most obvious, public and and direct call to completed genocide you could make, I think.

        Do you think she did it to make it more likely she’d be picked as Trump’s running mate/Secretary of State, or do you think she’s just pitching early to be the post-Trump leader, or is she just a run of the mill genocidal maniac?

          Who cares? Biden sent the bombs and Netanyahu is using them. She has no power here - they do.

          She’s evil as a general matter. But Biden and Netanyahu are worse regarding the current genocide

            You keep changing the subject away from Nikki Haley’s call to genocide. But I’ll bite again. The key question for American voters who care about Gaza is whether Trump or Biden are going to be worse for the Palestinians, because the election is on a knife edge according to the polls. Which do you think would be worse?

              Biden and Netanyahu are currently perpetrating genocide. Haley is not.

              What did Never Again mean after the Holocaust? Did it mean nothing?

                You’re avoiding the question: The key question for American voters who care about Gaza is whether Trump or Biden are going to be worse for the Palestinians, because the election is on a knife edge according to the polls. Which do you think would be worse?

                  Biden is currently committing genocide. Which is the worst crime there is.

                  Trump would also commit genocide.

                  Biden needs to change his policy on this drastically. Why won’t he? If he doesn’t, he loses.

                    Personally, I think it’s the Israelis who are committing the genocide with America’s support from pretty much all of the Republicans and most of the Democrats, but you didn’t answer the question: Up to now, Trump has a slight lead in the polls. Who would be worse for the people of Gaza, Biden or Trump?
