        Just because Hitler gassed the Jews doesn’t mean it’s genocide

        That’s what you sound like

        And Israel doesn’t give a fuck about those hostages, IDF forces have flat out murdered a few themselves.

        Also, why is Israel bombing the West Bank if they’re just fighting Hamas? That’s the wrong side of the country, unless the goal is ethnic cleansing.

        Hostage (from Merriam-Webster)

        A : a person held by one party in a conflict as a pledge pending the fulfillment of an agreement

        B : a person taken by force to secure the taker’s demands

    No nation helping

    No stopping the killings in either case

    No religious nonsense to help

    It’s only a matter of time until people in Gaza start forming their own fighters and killing innocent people in Israel. It’s only a matter of time until such events happen.

      At this point can we really say any Israelis are innocent? This is an outright slaughter and genocide. If you’re not staunchly standing against it, then you’re at least complicit.

      What do you think Hamas, PIJ and crew are?

      It was a matter of time 50 years ago.

    Hope they (the settlers and occupiers) realize that means the opposite to be true.

    Biden says that if there was no Israel then Jews would not be safe anywhere in the world. That implies that they are not safe in the US but ol’ genocide Joe doesn’t seem at all concerned with militantly combatting actual antisemitism in the US in the form of the resurgence of far right politics in the US in the form of Trump, the tea party, or MAGA.

    Instead the moderate wing of the unscratched fascist party is more concerned with reaching across the isle and embracing a nonexistent center than actually fighting for colonized people, abortion rights, LGBTQ people, immigrants, etc.

      I still hate that if he doesn’t win, then the GoP IE Modern Nazi Party wins. It’s absolute bullshit that the choices are Monsters or Not Quite As Bad Monsters

      Voting for a third party/not voting at all doesn’t work in the states, the two big parties get enough votes that not voting/voting third party is a vote for the other party, especially when the GoP will almost certainly do a Russian style take down of democracy if they win, effectively making voting pointless from then on. So can’t even count not voting/voting third party as a protest vote in this case when normally it at least has that going for it

      At least Israel is half made up of local people (gathering there from the Ottoman Empire). ‘Genocide’ Joe is literally presiding over a nation that has the last remnants of the natives living in some tiny reservations

    Should probably give up those hostages or their bodies already. The Arab League is starting to push for it, with hope they’ll push Hamas out of the strip and the effort to rebuild can start. Ain’t nothing good gonna happen as long as Hamas is still in control there. The people deserve leadership that doesn’t openly say they dgaf about the people.
