I remember a shitty N64 game called Rampage in which you would crush cities with your fists until you were bored with the game and move on to a better one. This “war” has been like watching an entitled shitty kid play Rampage, but he’s not bored yet.

Unrelated, but it's actually crazy how many ports that game had:

Thats one definition of genocide
I’m guessing allowing an annexation of the West Bank and financial and militarily supporting it is what America “gave up” to get the ceasefire agreement.
America was never preventing the annexation of West Bank, and it was already providing financial and military support. It got the ceasefire by threatening to stop.
This is like when you take a glass away from a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and they grab a bowl and smash it on the ground instead. Israel is a spoiled child who thinks the world owes them everything.
I get they just do what they want but like, how is this possible if they agreed to a ceasefire? Was the agreement in bad faith?
Its as though they are going for the genocide highscore or something??
Not that Israel doesn't violate ceasefires all the time, but in this case, West Bank is not Gaza.
Thanks, I didnt realise there were terms on location, I thought it was just all together.
Yeah, Israel has stolen so much land from Palestine that it's now two different, unconnected areas run by different groups. West Bank is under permanent Israeli military occupation, and is being slowly ethnically cleansed by Israel moving in settlers and driving out the locals. A full 10% of the Israeli population lives in illegal settlements in West Bank, and they regularly commit pograms against the Palestinians living there with the support of the IDF.
Gaza managed to push Israel and it's settler colonies out, but in retaliation it's been under permanent blockade, and subject to a policy of "mowing the lawn" where Israel performed regular bombing runs against its civilian infrastructure to stop Gaza getting too developed. Of course, after October 7th they took the excuse to try and exterminate Gaza outright. While they didn't achieve that before the ceasefire, they did level basically every building and killed somewhere between 1 in 10 and 1 in 4 people living there.
They used to be the same in 1948. After the nakba, the land of Palestine shrunk into two distinct, unconnected areas.
Where's all the people calling out "Genocide Trump" on Twitter?
Waiting for Trump to send Israel $8Billion in weapons for free probably. Biden made sure to stock Israel up before he got booted from the White House.
God, you blueAnon libs are so angry about the ceasefire.
Looks like Israel isn't abiding by the ceasefire.

Give it time. When, not if, when Trump gives billions to fund Israel's genocide then people will be just as furious with him as they were when Biden did it.

Xhitter is full of bots and Nazis now so you won't see much criticism of Trump on Nazi Musk's shitty Nazi platform.
Probably those people get banned by twitter? Check mastodon
Yeah, I wonder why everyone isn't on the Nazi website calling out Trump. 🤔
Trump is quite clearly a monster. Theres never been a question in anyone's mind (other than idiots) that Trump would commit attrocities. What is striking is that Biden would act similarly to Trump, which is why people who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 were especially angry.
Had you libs actually taken this genocide seriously for the past year rather than spit in the face of anyone who had a conscience, your question would be irrelevant.
No point in feeding his ego.
