Genocide Joe is his legacy.
Bush: Iraq and Afghanistan… Obama: Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya Joe: Palestine
Then USA media be like: Why there are terrorists in the Middle East and why they attack the Uniyed States…
Just adding to this as a reminder. Hamas kidnapped American citizens as part of the 200+ hostages.
History began on October 7th and not one day before.
Yes they obviously hate our way of life. The way that includes selling weapons to the colonial state blockading them.
And providing billions unconditionally. Like seriously, unconditionally? Like they could kill tens, hundreds of thousands, a million, and you’d still fund that? Biden deserves a shit stain or ten on his name.
Providing billions on condition it’s spent at US military companies is not the definition of unconditionally.
I wonder why so many foreign citizens got caught up in this… certainly not because there’s so many settlers who came to help colonize. Couldn’t be it.
The land immediately outside Gaza has been recognized as Israel proper since the 40s, and it has never been included as part of any proposal for a Palestinian state.
So, unless your actual aim is the complete eradication of Israel entirely, there’s no real grounds for criticism there. And if your aim is indeed the forced elimination of all Israelis, don’t bother pretending to care about peace.
Palestinians gave up on the land inside Israel’s 1949 borders, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t ethnically cleansed as part of Israel’s colonial project. See: The Nakba. Politically pursuing them is impossible, but that doesn’t mean the people who “settled” them aren’t complicit in Israel’s genocide.
I don’t think any of the people involved in the Nakba are alive anymore, beyond perhaps a few dinosaurs in nursing homes.
I’ll be the first to admit that the founding of Israel was a disastrously messy process that, frankly, probably shouldn’t have happened, and certainly shouldn’t have happened the way it did. But the fact of the matter is that it happened, Israel is here now, and there are generations of Israelis that have known no other home (most of whom are not of European heritage, it should be said).
I’d agree that there were very real historical wrongs that need to be accounted for, but that won’t happen with the Israeli right dreaming of eliminating all Palestinians or Palestinians hoping to eliminate all Jews and destroy Israel. A random Israeli civilian living near Gaza is no more responsible for the Nakba than a random American today is for the ethnic cleaning of the Americas, and there is absolutely no pretense for random violence against them (just as there is zero pretense for West Bank settler violence against Palestinians).
I don’t think any of the people involved in the Nakba are alive anymore
Yet you’re using arbitrary lines drawn after WW2…
I don’t think any of the people involved in the Nakba are alive anymore, beyond perhaps a few dinosaurs in nursing homes.
Yet the effects continue to this day, in the form of an overpopulated Gaza and 6 million Palestinian exiles.
I don’t think any of the people involved in the Nakba are alive anymore, beyond perhaps a few dinosaurs in nursing homes.

No, because the Nakba continued. People continued to be expelled from their lands after 1949. It’s like someone moving to live on ancestral Native land that was taken three decades ago. I’m not saying all of them are criminals, but anyone who wasn’t born there is the same as West Bank settlers.
Ah yes, since the 40’s. That makes it legitimate and completely justified. My bad.

Maybe they were at a party when Hamas murdered and kidnapped them?
And Hamas actually wants to return them, but Netanyahu doesn’t want to negotiate and would rather flood the tunnels and kill them all.
Kinda… hamas wants to exchange for people for some known terrorists, some are just kids throwing rocks but some are hamas main line terrorists
Not just “some” are kids throwing rocks. Setting aside the Israeli justice system’s ability to fairly judge Palestinians, there are thousands of Palestinians being held without trial.
Sorry but what? If Hamas wants to return them, why did they take them in the first place?
Because hostages are one of the few ways Hamas has to get concessions out of Israel. Those usually include freeing Palestinian political prisoners and loosening the blockade.
Don’t bother these people don’t even read news and will go through hoops to justify the IDF report of killing people at the rave party to not be taking hostage.
Really? Hamas wants to return them? Is that why they couldn’t produce any more hostages that weren’t raped, beaten, or dead?
Huh, that’s weird given that this article showed up in my Google News feed the other day: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israeli-hostage-handshake-hamas-rcna121852
I guess you can choose to selectively ignore it because it doesn’t match your worldview. If that’s what you want to do.
“I went through hell,” Lifshitz said at a hospital in Tel Aviv early Tuesday.
Her captors beat her in the ribs with sticks, she said, making it difficult to breathe. She was visibly exhausted and physically worn. But she told reporters that she offered the handshake because the Hamas militants “were gentle with us” while she was imprisoned in the “spiderweb” of tunnels under the Gaza Strip.
Stockholm Syndrome textbook example right there. Kidnapped and beaten by Hamas, but thanked them afterwards.
I don’t know where you’re getting anything from that article that says Hamas wants to return hostages. This was part of the ceasfire agreement Hamas broke.
And the US is supporting Israel’s effort to get all of them killed.

Yet Reagan stopped the bombing of West Beirut with a phone call. If America isn’t in charge of Israel they shouldn’t unconditionally support them.
How many did ksa kill on 9/11? How many Saudis did we kill when we invaded ksa? See how that works?
Same for the migrants from all the south American countries we destroyed or made unstable.
we make their home unlivable why are they coming here

That’s still a lot
“Kill 'em all; let God sort 'em out!”
“Civilian deaths have never made us doubt ourselves before. Why change now?”
The fact that we send our tax dollars to Israel is crazy to me.
Fuck Israel
