As much as I hated the Biden admin being pro Israel, too - at least they exercised some oversight. This is now gone and Netanyahu and his ilk can finally live out their darkest dreams.
That this sort of activity comes from the Jewish of all people, in the 21st century, is appalling.
But let’s not forget Trumplon’s part in all this. He is the big enabler here. Come judgement day (and I mean that very secularly) he will sit with Netanyahu. Well they might both be dead by then, but I have no doubt that history will not look kindly upon them.
Protest voting the Democratic Party over Palestine was and remains utterly baffling to me.
What do you mean, Kamala would have done the same thing!
- absolute fucking morons
Produce any media where she even hinted at having a different Gaza policy.
Israel started the genocide early after Oct 7, it’s not escalated. They’re already leveled over 80% of Gaza and destroyed every hospital and piece of infrastructure under Biden.
Tell me, how is that at all different from Trump’s current policy?
Edit: for the down voters, I don’t care. My point is made by you not being able to do anything other than down vote. You know I’m right and that makes you mad. No media exists which will absolve Kamala on Israel.
Here’s one of her staffers explaining the difference, since the difference is so fucking hard for certain people to comprehend. It wasn’t going to be fantastic, but I stand by my statement that only absolute fucking morons think they would have been the same. Because those people can’t understand there are shades of awful or the difference between bad, and fucking gone.
That mentality is the textbook definition of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Voting for Kamala was attempting stem the bleeding, and people decided to cut a limb off instead. It’s a shame that so many more people are going to suffer for their choice. And I really hope the naked fascism that these people directly contributed to via tacit support (thanks non voters!) isn’t as bad as it will be, all because they wanted to play purity politics.

From the article, since you didn’t bother to read.
Harris has not been the candidate many of us wanted. Her candidacy is historic, but she and the Democratic Party have failed to champion a truly progressive agenda — one needed not only to motivate her base, but to take on the right wing’s increasingly fascist policies and rhetoric. It has been devastating to see Harris refuse to break with Biden on Israel, adopt xenophobic talking points about immigration policy, and campaign alongside hawkish, pro-war Republicans.
And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you’d bother to read the article, you’d see she even supported the uncommitted movement, which guess who the protest voters were?
You are struggling to square away that I have empathy and understand why people couldn’t stomach Harris. Stop calling people “morons” because they can’t as easily justify genocide as you can.
Also do note that rather than addressing my challenge, you proved my point. Harris had identical Gaza policies to Biden and the only reason to vote for her was the fact that there were some pro Palestinian Democrats. You vote for her not because she’s better in Gaza, but out of the hope that members of her caucus could moderate her position.
Stop calling people “morons” because they can’t as easily justify genocide as you can.
I think it’s more regarding their lack of ability to see nuance. If your choices are genocide and genocide lite, yeah, they’re both fucking bad, but maybe with lite, we can have more time to effect real change vs Trump, under whom we are guaranteed to see absolutely no change in a positive direction. I’d rather take 1% over 0%.
There is no genocide lite. It’s just genocide with better marketing.
damn, hopefully saudi arabia, qatar, dubai, oman, egypt, or any other trillion dollar petro states can step up and help out
maybe egypt needs to open the gates so they can let aid in?
What a dump take, instead of saying “we have to stop the war criminal, genocide entity” you saying “why no one taking them” like wtf at least read about the history or look over the map instead of making bland useless and irresponsible comments.
what are your thoughts on the sudan war?
They don’t give a shit. Anyone who shows any kind of help or sympathy will be pressured to take on what? 1.5 million people? No one in that area wants that kind injection of foreigners.
what’s stopping them from supplying aid through the Egyptian border?
Israel controls it? In case you weren’t aware
Egypt could open its border for refugees though.
How are the refugees supposed to make it across the occupied Philadelphi corridor when the IDF is known to shoot on sight, and recklessly?
If the border was open, the IDF would let them pass through. There were periods of this war, when the IDF didn’t control Philadelphi.
Egypt has let a limited number of Gazans through the border.
i’m like why would egypt let israel control it
Egypt tightly restricts the opening of the Rafah crossing, and has kept it shut during previous Israeli bombardments of Gaza in 2021, 2014, and 2008. Since a period of heightened conflict between the Egyptian military and jihadists in the Sinai peninsula began in 2013, Egypt has vastly curtailed movement through the crossing, and banned the entry of aid organisations and journalists into northern Sinai. Palestinians accuse Egypt of bolstering Israel’s 16-year blockade by essentially closing their one exit route out of Gaza.
yep sounds about right
The Philadelphi corridor, which is the border separating Egypt and Gaza is currently controlled by and occupied by Israel, as they refused to withdraw from it as stipulated in the previous ceasefire agreement that they largely ignored.
And what is Egypt doing about that?
you think egypt is not a dictatorahip that was installed by the US and other Gulf’s dictatorships who all work under Israel’s and US’s shoes?
I call bs
