The “global south” doesn’t give a flying fuck about the Palestinians or imperialism. If they did care, they would send weaponry to the Palestinians and blacklist Israel and Israeli companies. They will never do that.

I wonder why they can't? I wonder which country has promised an ironclad protection of Israel and moved its aircraft carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea?

Have you missed the US and other European countries' support for Israel? This is the hypocrisy everyone is pointing out including the G7 diplomat.

The US has sent at least 14,000 of its massive, highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs to Israel since October 7, report says

NATO countries don't care about the human rights that they pretend to care about, they care about their geopolitical interests, but sometimes it is just racism and they say it honestly on TV.

You are clearly lost. The following quote is all that needs to be said. Your inability to understand is not my problem.

“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added.

Here's the archived link https://archive.ph/TxkRb

Author wants more Ukrainians to be killed and less support to be provided for Ukrainians fighting for the freedom of their country.

Palestinians are also fighting for their country. You clearly don't like seeing Western hypocrisy pointed out, but perhaps you will change your mind if you read the hypocrisy being pointed out by Westerners?

If anything the “global south’s” attitude to russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine suggests that it’s time to take a critical look at their arguments around imperialism.

Your racist colonialist mentality is showing. The 19th century is over and 15% of the world cannot control 85% of world forever.

If the “global south” supports a genocidal imperialist invasion

What Global South country supports Israel?

It is not hate to point out obvious hypocrisy, and it is not just people in the Global South pointing out. Many Western leaders have been aware of the hypocrisy for months.

Here's one article from the Financial Times:

Rush by west to back Israel erodes developing countries’ support for Ukraine

“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”

Just four weeks before the Hamas assault on Israel, leaders from the US, EU and western allies attended the G20 summit in New Delhi and asked developing nations to condemn Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians in order to uphold respect for the UN charter and international law.

Since last Sunday, many of those officials told the Financial Times they have had the same argument read back at them in demands for condemnation of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, and of its decision to restrict water, electricity and gas supplies there.

I recommend reading the FT article, if you can't stomach a non-western perspective.

The line is a bit more blurry on the East side than the West but this might just be my own bias coming from Lebanon.

I always thought Urban Hejaz and the Levant [and Egypt] share in a dialect continuum or at least a sprachbund, I don't know a lot of dialects that say مرق to mean pass except those two. Urban Hejazi dialects also drop the use of interdentals like in Lebanese. In the same way Bahrani dialect Bahrain/Eastern Saudi Arabia shares with Mesopotamia in having Akkadian and Aramaic influences.

Here's a fun comparison between Hejazi and Najdi dialects https://youtube.com/shorts/Fi9_bNiazOA

More aggressive in tone on average.

Only the Bedouin and Najdi dialects which happen to be over represented. Jeddawi in particular and other Urban Hejazi dialects are seen as effeminate https://youtu.be/AHWbA0b9bK4

1. Arabs at the rise of Islam already were speaking different dialects and so they took those differences with them.
2. Different regions have had different influences, e.g. Coptic and Greek in Egypt, Punic, Latin and Amazigh in North Africa, Nubian in Sudan, and so on.
3. 1400 years of divergent history, including different foreign rule in different regions.

I'm simply stating the facts as they are, it is not my fault that the Democratic Party lost Arab and Muslim American voters.

but I am absolutely willing to put off Palestine

How would this argument win over Arab and Muslim Americans? You are basically saying: "I don't care if you get genocided but you have to care about me". On the upside as the polls show, Trump is even more unpopular than Biden so you can't blame us if Trump wins, blame those who voted for him.

so I dont get shot

Arab and Muslim Americans are already getting shot. My personal recommendation is start exercising your 2nd amendment rights:

so you dont get deported

So be it but only if Darrell Issa is deported first

Biden perhaps shouldn't have enabled a genocide, just saying.

Also the correct term is Arab Americans

How Arab American voters' backlash could imperil Biden's 2024 campaign

In Michigan, for example, Biden won in 2020 by 154,000 votes. Census estimates put the state's Arab American population around at least 278,000.

Biden won Arizona by 10,500 votes. The Arab American population in the Grand Canyon State is estimated to be 60,000.

Biden took Georgia by 11,800 votes. The Arab American population there is at least 57,000.

‘The man broke my heart’: Biden’s Arab-American boosters begin to leave his side

The fact that liberals would rather strawperson Arab and Muslim Americans and anyone else repulsed by the genocide than acknowledge the reality and try to stop it is hard to understand beyond it being based in racism and chauvinism. What group of people would vote for the person enabling their own genocide?

Edit: While Marxist-Leninists, i.e. Tankies, do exist in the US they never constituted a significant voting bloc that can sway elections, they always opposed the Democratic Party even before the genocide. Minorities such as Arab Americans -mostly Christian- and Muslim Americans do constitute a significant voting bloc that can sway elections and they used to be a consistent voter base for the Democratic Party in past elections.

An overlooked and undercounted group of Arab American and Muslim voters may have outsized impact on 2024 presidential election

In Michigan, Muslim and Arab American Voters Reconsider Support for Biden

The dismissive racism and genocide apologia by liberals is going to cost you Arab and Muslim Americans for more than one election cycle. I wish you had some self awareness and empathy to realize it.

Final Note: This is not meant to elicit debate and I don't need an explanation on how elections work in the US or why the US will support Israel no matter what it does regardless of who is president. I am just sharing another side of the story that seem to be purposefully ignored.

I cited agreeable news source and articles and yet this comment is getting downvoted. I guess liberals would rather invent a strawperson they can easily take down than acknowledge they are losing among minorities in swing states.

Just look at the number of voters considering third party candidates:
