On my 2025 bingo card I did not have "Ethnic Clean-" wait, no, there it is. I did, we all kinda did.

It was on 2024's bingo card silly!

Is there any year that hasn't had ethnic cleansing?

Can't wait for the "I'm not voting for Harris because she's the same as Trump" Americans to be suspiciously absent from this thread

They're over in c/Palestine still blaming Biden for everything that's going wrong.

I'm pretty sure a lot of those people don't even care about Palestine, it's just an excuse to hate the centre-left. As another example, in the UK, the Labour party have been the ones receiving all of the hostility for not being pro-Palestine enough, despite the Conservatives being even less supportive, even when the Conservatives were the ones in power for half of the war.

As any resonable person could see that he would.

How many US troops and Palestinians does he expect to lose in this operation?

How many US civilians does he expect to lose in the next decade of retaliatory terrorist attacks on the US?

That’s only to his advantage, more “brown terrorists” to blame.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

Why? Do you think he cares?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, because overseas occupation is a known cost cutting method...
