And in America’s next election, we get to pick between a guy who has spent 50 years saying nothing will change his unwavering loyalty to Israel and has been calling himself a Zionist …
Or a crazy criminal that will support Israel just as hard because Palestinians are just a shade more brown and his daughter he wants to fuck asked him too.
There’s literally zero option for an American who doesn’t want to support one of the worst genocides in modern history.
Because even the lesser evil will go around Congress to “sell” the weapons used to do this, for our own taxpayers money he just gave them.
And before anyone says it’ll stimulate the economy, it would even more if we spent it on social programs, with the added benefit of not funding a genocide.
And you just discovered the simple fact that you don’t really have democracy in the US, or at least not a healthy one. How a two-parties political system is called democracy boggles my mind.
Stimulating the economy is a nebulous pie in the sky. Does stimulating the economy improve the lives of everyday people? Not really.
Cheap public transportation would be good for the people, but everyone buying a new EV would “stimulate the economy.” How much is it going to take before people understand that their wellbeing is, at best, only weakly tied to the economy?
Don’t forget Joe signed over more land for oil and gas than trump did. Y’all never had a chance
The CIA won’t tolerate another Trump presidency, not while Biden happily bends over for them.
Article 2 of the Convention defines genocide as
… any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2
Mission accomplished
Not yet, Palestinians are still alive. Genocide Joe, probably.
If Republicans really wanted to go after Biden, they could be howling about his complicity in the Gazan genocide. They could use that as a reason for impeachment and even be calling for a Hague trial.
If they had half a brain, they could enjoy the genocide they proudly support all while (accurately) blaming Biden for much of it.
This admission is to create an avenue for deniability when South Africa’s case starts to really ramp up.
These guys are experts in who, us, never.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The UN humanitarian chief has described Gaza as “uninhabitable” three months into Israel’s war with Hamas, warning that famine was looming and a public health disaster unfolding.
In a grim assessment of the devastating impact of Israel’s military response to the horrific Hamas attacks on 7 October, Martin Griffiths said that Gaza’s 2.3 million people face “daily threats to their very existence” while the world just watches.
He said tens of thousands of people, mostly women and children, have been killed or injured, families are sleeping in the open as temperatures plummet and areas where Palestinians were told to relocate have been bombed.
The few partly functioning hospitals are overwhelmed and critically short of supplies, medical facilities are under relentless attack, infectious diseases are spreading and amid the chaos about 180 Palestinian women are giving birth every day.
He said the humanitarian community is facing an “impossible mission” – trying to help more than 2 million people while UN staff and aid workers from partner organisations are killed, communications blackouts continue, roads are damaged, truck convoys are shot at and vital commercial supplies “are almost nonexistent”.
Israel’s air, ground and sea assault in Gaza, aimed at obliterating Hamas, has killed more than 22,400 people, two-thirds of them women and children, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory.
The original article contains 639 words, the summary contains 219 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Honestly Hamas needs to surrender. Let this end.
How many Palestinians are they content with dying while fighting a war they could never win.
Palestinian quality of life has already been shit for decades. Most of their water is poisoned, they’re allowed barely enough calories, the sky is so filled with spy drones they can’t sleep, they don’t control their own power, water, sky, trade, freedom of movement, etc. They fight because they have no other choice. They’re not going to give up or lose Hamas members while their quality of life sucks and they stay oppressed.
Unless Israel goes the genocide route…
Hamas surrender would only “end this” for Israel. Palestinians would still be living in the same apartheid state they’ve been living in for decades.
Ok let’s make this maths easy:
Have things got better for Palestinians since the war started?
If the war continues are things going to get better or worse for Palestinians?
I guess you didn’t read my answer.
“Stop fighting and let us genocide you in peace”
“Ukraine should just give up, their situation is not that good right now”
It’s so sad to see you guys warmongering. Let the fighting continue!
You know this will hurt the Palestinians more but you try to pretend that more war is going to magically help them somehow.
The minute Hamas surrenders or is crushed the UN can pour in aid and the rest of the world will pour in money too to rebuild.
Can’t have that can we - you guys want as much pain and suffering as possible to push extremism in the area. Sickening to see people pushing for war and suffering!
