He’s a lifelong real estate developer. The man is stupid enough to look at a Mercator projection map and say look at this massive island that’s undeveloped!

It’s reported he offered to trade Puerto Rico for it.

Absolutely. This should not have been difficult; “we grieve the loss of these children and something needs to be done to force both sides into a ceasefire” was too controversial for the mega donors of Biden/Harris. Any talk at all of nudging the rightwing Israeli government was too unpalatable even though Chuck Schumer himself was publicly criticizing Netanyahu.

A little, but they lost many many votes by shutting out any pro-Palestinian voices from the DNC. They wouldn’t even let Palestinian-Americans endorse Harris at the convention, let alone talk about Palestinians suffering (but they stacked the convention with Israeli-Americans and families of hostages).

Is there any way to defend Biden’s failed policies without mentioning Trump?

That’s not the same as spying. Apple famously doesn’t hand over user data to ad companies.

Oh the calendar? Man that must have been embarrassing.

Remember when Israel claimed that there was a multi-story Hamas command center under the Al-Shifa hospital, even sharing an animated rendering of it, and Biden said he believed it “no question in my mind?” The Israelis destroyed the hospital and found nothing but bragged that they found proof in the form of a gun in one of the rooms.

Hahahaha me tooooooo!

That’s not necessarily love for Palestinians, it’s more like anger against the Israeli far right.

I believe there was one departing from Turkey and the Turkish government stopped them.

If I criticize the government of Venezuela it doesn’t mean I hate all Latinos.

Oh you mean like Israel contacting civilians in Rafah and telling them to flee to the designated “safe area” in Tal al-Sultan and the bombing the tent city on May 26 without warning and killing dozens in a horrifically brutal manner, beheading babies and burning children alive? That?

Johnson, the guy who puts a specific rightwing Christianity over America’s sovereignty?

Imagine if we held Israel to the same standard. There’s whole IDF divisions involved in war crimes. There’s tens of thousands of IDF soldiers working with illegal settlers to break international law. If you want the same standard, the IDF should be sanctioned for terrorism and war crimes, and even more so for failing to investigate or discipline those involved despite being caught on video or bragging on social media about their crimes.

What would that accomplish other than blowing the dust around?

I remember an Israeli pundit once complained that the UN creating Israel was “the mortgage that never ends” because the Israeli government absolutely loves to demonize the UN but still depends on it.

That’s Poe’s Law of the internet. Without an /s tag we don’t know if you’re sarcastic or exteme.

“We absolutely need to have the last word!”

There’s 7 year olds on military bases? Or is that an Israeli “human shield” since the Israeli bases are literally in residential areas? (And according to Israel that makes them fair targets)

Israel is talking about retaliating.

Basically it’s like they want to have the last word.
