lol. I commented on a post saying that Harris would likely be handling the situation better right now, and I got told by one of the pro-Palestine crazies that they hope my family gets murdered…
Whatever they call themselves they are not pro-Palestine. I don't buy it. Maybe they're anti-Israel, but they ain't pro-Palestine.
Harris would have said not to do it while continuing to supply them with weapons.
Harris would have said she's doing everything she can to stop this whole breaking federal laws to keep it happening.
I have to believe the pro-Palestine crazies who call Harris voters Nazis are either Russian trolls or still too ashamed to admit they were conned into voting for Palestine's complete destruction.
I had conversations with many an accelerationist who supported Trump over Harris on Gaza. Pretty sure they were just full of shit and spreading misinformation.
Trump is greenlighting genocide. And somehow his supporters will say this is a good thing.
The US has been green-lighting genocide in the Middle East for decades. Party A only seems to notice when Party B takes over the White House. But this has been an ongoing horror story going back to Operation Ajax and the dismantling of the Egyptian democracy following the death of Gamal Nasser, largely through collaboration between the CIA, MI5, and the Mossad.
His base supporters don't really know or care about the details, because they're too invested in doing white nationalism at home. His opponents only seem to care about the genocide as far as it allows them to express racist sentiments toward Arab-Americans and other Muslim groups for being insufficiently enthusiastically liberal. His bourgeois supporters recognize genocide as a get-rich-quick scheme for their failsons and faildaughters.
This bloodshed won't end before the western military occupiers are removed from the region. And I doubt I'll see that happen in my lifetime.
I would like ANYONE to stick a camera into the face of these Arab and Muslim leaders who told their followers to help get trump elected because they didn't think Joe Biden was acting fast enough or giving them the attention they wanted and ask them if their feelings are still hurt with news like this.
I'm sure the people of Gaza are so pleased with them and their stupidity
BuT dOn’T vOtE fOr GeNoCiDe JoE!!1!1! ThE PrIcE Of EgGS!1!1!
And the trump admin wants to build seaside resorts in the purged Gaza then told us to STFu about eggs while the price more than doubled.
There are far too many people on this earth who can only imagine black and white.
They can't imagine you can have bad and you can have much worse and they are not the same thing.
Edit - in case the downvote wasn't someone who voted trump to "save Palestine", my point is you don't save someone from bad by giving them worse. Which we did.
And not "voting for bad" while allowing worse is performative privilege.
I sure hope everyone who said “Genocide Joe” and “Kamala is a cop” sleeps well every night. Also those 100,000 Dem protest voters in Michigan.
You did it guys, you saved Gaza.
I’m sure those astroturfed, troll farm tools absolutely sleep fine.

They have always wait for US green light to do it and they have always had it
Wow, the Gazan civilians must have done something really serious to merit being attacked like this, ending the cease fire...
Right? Um... right? /s
if the brave hamas freedom fighters weren't hiding behind them with the hostages using the gazans as human shields it would be easier
It's absolutely giving horrible what's happened and also absolutely predictable this type of behavior from Trump happened.
It's just so extremely frustrating and sad.

And exactly zero people are shocked by this.
They've been waiting for our permission each time?
The ceasefire was the only positive thing going on during these past two months. This is fucked up!
