On Sunday, the Washington Post published a 38-page plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, drawn up with the collusion of the Boston Consulting Group and the staff of former UK prime minister Tony Blair, and actively discussed at the White House.

    It’s heartbreaking to see what’s happening and sickening just how many people and governments are complicit.

      It’s like the villain from book one coming back as a genocidal lich in book five.

      These vageposts 🙄 I assume the implication is that this would never have happened under Biden, when it literally happened under Biden. It’s a nonfalsifiable claim that has (1) no supporting evidence and (2) historical evidence that suggests otherwise.

      Unless Poe’s law has struck again, in which case carry on.

      rather, damn the democrats who stayed home, and damn the ones in congress who are helping republicans and trump facilitate this.

      when the history books are written, they will remember liberal collaboration in this holocaust.

        They said they couldn’t imagine how Trump could even be any worse than Biden. Gaza was the big issue that led them to stay home. Well, now we know how. And they’re still safe in their air conditioned homes right now, not starving with no dead children, probably still convinced they were striking a blow for truth and justice and feeling aggressively proud of how right they were and still are.

            There was a guarantee that things would get horrifyingly worse if Trump won.

            There was a chance of things getting worse if whatever Democrat won, and also a small chance that strong vocal protest would produce an improvement in US policy producing some improvement for the Palestinians.

            With Trump, they had no chance at all.

              No there was equal chance of getting worse no matter who won. Biden claimed to have redlines but everytime israel ignored them he thanked israel with more diplomatic support and more billions of your money. Harris said she will not change anything in the middle east. They didn’t even allow palestinians to talk in the DNC.

              As long as you american keep voting for the same two cults they will never listen to you and you will see your country collapsing.

              I never see you hypocrites condemining israel terrorism always yeah but Biden . Where is Harris now? Not only about palestine but also about being vocal against trump?

                You must not be looking real hard. At one point I was a moderator of palestine@lemm.ee, I think because one of the existing moderators watched me [ yelling at / trying to talk sense into ] someone who was talking about October 7th in a particular type of way, and generally trying to put home to them what a fucking catastrophe is going on in Gaza right now. (That was a while ago, it’s gotten worse.)

                I can dig up screenshots about me yelling about Palestine, if you want me to find them. Do you want me to?

                No there was equal chance of getting worse no matter who won.

                Get the fuck out, man. You know that’s not true. Like I say, you’re safe in the air conditioning, you can say stuff like that with a straight face, no one around you hasn’t eaten for a week so you can use this stuff as a little crutch to make your political point.

                  Dems gives billions to israel , republicans gives billions to israel. Dems provide diplomatic cover to israel , republicans gives diplomatic cover to israel. Obama signed to biggest aid package to isrsel. So why would iarael ever stop? Just because republicans are more vocal about their hate of palestinians and full support for israel doesn’t mean thst it wouldn’t be worse no matter who won.

                  Trump winning because of palestine is also complete bs. Only 2% had foreign policies as top priority, it was ranked 7 of 8 issues. In those 2% yes palestine/israel was a top priority and it was fairly split between dems and republicans but we don’t even know how many was siding with palestine and who was sided with the genocide. So people who voted for trump was really a small minority.

                  Instead of crying about trump we all need to realize teump is right now the president so he should be fought and qe should continue boycotting

                  While westerners was sleeping sbout the occupation for decades, we tunisians we never stopped protesting. We where protesting israel since we was teen so i don’t want to hear lessons and bs for you defending one of the two genocide enablers while attacking someone who defend neither

                  That’s some sophistry. Do you also have a thought-terminating guilt trip for the Palestinian-Americans who tried to pressure the Biden/Harris administration into at least not actively supportting their relatives’ genocide?
