This news has me worried that Gaza will be the new camp for "undesirables" that we're struggling to deport. I sure hope I am wrong.
I bet someone in that shitty Trump family will be first to build and exploit.
Yes Kushner.
the geniuses who said "im not voting for Harris because of Palestine" must be feeling really smart right now
They still blame it on Biden and Harris.
One argument I see a lot is that it's somehow Kamala's fault by not trying hard enough to win their votes.
They will tell you that this result was inevitable and to look at the positive side of things (what ever this may be). Which is easy to do or say since they are not Palestinians
Which means their protest votes were meaningless. So it's a weird excuse that they're making.
No, their protest votes were not meaningless
They actively put trump in the whitehouse.
The American electoral system gives a voter the choice of potentially improving things (Dem) or actively making things worse (Rep). Given FPTP and the heavy use of propaganda, all other options (spoiling, abstaining, third party voting) equate to a republican vote, there is no other reality.
If an American did not vote Democrat in the election that just passed, they voted for complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the gutting of human rights in the USA—they didn't even try to hide what they were going to do this time. There is zero excuse.
Sorry, to clarify, I mean they were meaningless in terms of doing anything about stopping any genocide.
And now we can add more genocide in the U.S. to what is going on in Palestine.
Well in some twisted way. They might get a free out of open air jail card and start a new life somewhere else. So it was beneficiary for them after all.
Well, those who were payed to got their pay and don't care, and those dumb enough to fall for their logic and regurgitate it will just pick up on whatever The Next Big argument being regurgitated is. Something something this only server to support my argument something something was needed to show how flawed the system was something something.
This guy is an evil cunt. Prove me wrong.
Challenge rating: Impossible
To be clear, Trump is now openly promoting genocide. I considered this administration fascist up until now. Now, they full ass Nazis. Any American not going to the protests tomorrow and participating in a full on general strike is complicit with Nazis.
I agree with your first two sentences, but not with your last one. You have to take into consideration that many people are in different situations. If you have trouble making ends meet, if you need your job to feed your family, you might not be inclined to risk your job to protest. What I'm trying to say is, not all people that don't protest are Nazis. Stating they are creates another layer of polarization that isn't bringing us anywhere near a solution. And yes: Us. even though I'm not a US citizen, it unfortunately affects the world.
I'm certain this was exactly Kamala's plan. She never said the magic combination of words that means she believes exactly what I want her to believe, so obviously this would have happened either way.
She said she would do nothing different. The genocide was obvious for months prior. Why would you continue defending this at this point? It’s been gross for over a year. Dems lost for many reasons, and on this issue it is fucking inexcusable.
You've got four years to learn why you're wrong. Hopefully it'll only be four years.
Harris's plan: Gazans continue to suffer with constant bombardments and crumbling infrastructure. The US offers minor humanitarian aid and pays lip service to their plight.
Trump's plan: Extermination of all Gazans in a massive US-backed and Israeli-executed ethnic cleansing campaign in order to turn Gaza into a vacation spot for rich Israelis. Possible location for the next Trump hotel and casino.
Trump's plan sounds a lot like what reality has been. Was he in the Biden administration?
I don't remember child-skull paved roads leading to the POTUS-branded casino and resort spa that Biden built, gotta link?
Guess those 20 thousand children killed themselves.
She said she would do nothing different from Biden.
This is different from Biden. Very different.
Believe it or not, things can get worse even if they were bad before and pretending this was Harris' plan as well is just silly.
But have you considered that she was brat?
I want to see the convoluted logic the mental gymnasts who pushed forth against voting for Biden so Trump wouldn't get elected on issues like Palestine come up with. It's an art.
Anyone who voted for Biden is an absolute moron.
~…he wasn’t the candidate~
They starting pushing forth against voting for him long before Kamala became the candidate, and they still call him genocide Biden. Kamala and Biden where on the same ticket regarding criticism of their handling in their Middle East.
Is this it, though? Just a one off quip that's almost irrelevant and a few downvotes? Now I'm disappointed.
It’s an art.
It's a standard and often-used propaganda tactic, popular with the Russians, among others.
"The world is getting fucked anyway, might as well join in doing the fucking."
