    Off course they are busy with such issue.

    How much of an issue would it be if it was you running away with your family from place to another, starving and getting bombed, to realize the next morning, that you have lost your mom and have to burry your sister, your kids are under the rubble, one is limpless for life now, another is dead, another still missing.

    How would you feel if the people selling and enabling your genocide, or the people who have the power to step in and help, are discussing school lunch and economy issues, while yours are non-existant. I bet you cannot afford to give half a fuck about the economy, or college tuition, or housing affordability, or nothing else.

    War and genocide cannot simply be dissmissed as another issue. This issue is literally life and death, pain and torture, and every decision that causes it to happen is everything of someone’s life.

      Both parties support Israel. Voting will not prevent the genocide regardless of who you vote for or if you don’t vote at all. But a whole host of other issues that affect peoples’ lives WILL be affected by that choice. So rather than focus on what you have zero control over as far as voting goes, focus on what you do.
