ISRAEL DOES NOT NEED TO SUPPLY GAZA WITH THESE RESOURCES
Actually they do under international law! Interesting how Israel supporters seem to think following international law is optional for their favourite genocidal apartheid state!
asking the UN: "do I really have to supply water and electricity to my concentration camp?"
I guarantee you she just straight up doesn't know that Israel controls Gaza by land, sea, and air, and controls all of its resources. the moron actually thinks Israel gives Gaza all this stuff out of the goodness of their hearts or something.
If the people in Dachau didn't like Zyklon B, why didn't they provide their own showers? 
Israel legally prohibits Gaza from building any water infrastructure without a permit, which must be granted by Israel and almost never is. Additionally, the IDF routinely destroys infrastructure of all kinds in Gaza as a matter of deliberate policy.
It sure would be cool if these obvious, clearly written out facts ever came up in the discussion from the "reasonable practical adults in the room" instead of Palestinians just being a bunch of genetic terrorists.
Like how the idf stated they were going to bomb that hospital right before the hospital got bombed that now liberals are trying to claim never got bombed.
If it meant avoiding uncomfortable thoughts these ghouls would torture us to death for no reason while lecturing us and never even consider the possibility they weren't perfect moralists.
Hamas, famous billionaires.
Hamas Congress sitting around a big table with charts and graphs, trying to allocate for next years budget. There's a pie chart that's like "Water: 0%, Electricity 0%, Food: 0%, Government: 0%, Terrorism: 100%".
"someone help me budget, my people are starving, etc etc"
Part of becoming an adult has been realizing nearly every celebrity is a horrible person
Some of them are good. Wallace Shawn and Danny DeVito have good politics, and Steve Buscemi was a volunteer firefighter who responded to 9/11. So the short and ugly ones maybe. Got that hobbit energy.
So the short and ugly ones maybe.
oh that's why I have good politics
Tim Heidecker seems like a good egg. Mark Ruffalo seems ok as well.
Also weirdly Seth MacFarlane seems ok politically even though his shows are full of racism and transphobia and etc
Part of this realization goes in hand with the recognition that, overwhelmingly, nearly anyone who is anyone in media is related to someone rich and powerful.
I don't even mean kids of movie stars or record producers cause that's just the standard nepotism everyone knows about. I mean like a ton of famous people are at most one familial step removed from an influential political actor or business magnate who helped fund their career pursuit in some fashion. There's definitely exceptions and you can find some with good politics regardless but it's pretty wild to realize how much of our media is created by rich failsons.
'Spend billions of dollars on terrorism' is such a weird and funny sentence, like Palestinians are budgeting for and paying a Terrorism tax instead of supporting local business. Libs really can't understand how anything gets done outside the framework of money within a capitalist state.
Every time I hear this claim about Hamas spending all of Palestine's money on... uh... jerry-rigged hang gliders and scrap rockets... all I can think of is Felix coming back again and again to Israeli's policy of counting how many calories they let into Gaza, explicitly for the purpose of gradually starving the region's residents
Israel said the blockade was necessary to weaken Hamas. But critics say the blockade constituted collective punishment against Gaza's population of more than 1.5 million.
A US diplomatic cable revealed by WikiLeaks last year quoted Israeli diplomats as saying they wanted to "keep Gaza's economy on the brink of collapse".
Gisha said: "The official goal of the policy was to wage 'economic warfare' which would paralyse Gaza's economy and, according to the defence ministry, create pressure on the Hamas government."
"Why didn't the Palestinians use all that time and energy to do X?" is always stated from this blind - seemingly deliberately blind - refusal to acknowledge how much of Gaza is kept running by the continued miraculous blood and sweet and genius engineering skills of Palestinian prisoners.
If not for these folks working night and day to keep their families and neighbors alive, Gaza would have succumbed to the brutality of the Israeli occupation decades ago. What Sarah is ultimately criticizing isn't Palestine's refusal to build and innovate and capitalize in the face of adversity. What she casually dismisses is their refusal to die. Their refusal not to preserver. Their refusal to surrender to the tanks and the snipers and the bulldozers.
Sarah Silverman wouldn't last five fucking days behind the fences of Gaza. She'd be starving inside of a week, while her neighbors were hustling to enact the kind of IRL prison break her washed up ass would have fucking loved to get a cameo in the epic movie retelling of. She watches Palestinians spin straw into gold and bemoans their lack of entrepreneurship? Absolutely shameless.
"babe, i saw that you were doing the budgeting last night, what do we have in our Terrorism sleeve? billions? Hell yes, i can buy that 4090 founders to play minecraft and then treat myself to terrorism, thanks bae"
To be fair theyre just assuming every other country has a slush fund for terrorists in countries that try to elect leaders they don't agree with like we do.
Hold 2 million people hostage for decades: I sleep.
Take a couple hundred people who are flagrantly violating international law so you can stop being held hostage yourself: real shit.
The people that I have quarantined in a zone which I have complete control over (water, food, passage, electricity) have taken hostages with their terror group so I responded by cutting off resources and bombing them to the stone age, AITA?
Ed: I also may have taken the land around them to make a settlement originally, which contributed to mass exodus and the terror group forming
Ed 2: I may also have been killing innocent people there indiscriminately for decades, including UN correspondents, Red Cross members, and diplomats
Ed 3: I may also have been calling them dehumanizing terms while encouraging inhabitants of my land to steal theirs

Isreal made it pretty simple: If you all just die, we won't have to kill you anymore.
I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand.
Sarah Silverman has done blackface. Being racist is not a new hat for her.
She's female bill Maher.
She's a "pregoresive" that makes herself unique and interesting by always reverting back to right wing talking points whenever push cones to shove.
Aka a liberal.
Does Sarah not know that the Israeli hostages have to drink water too?
Seriously, what are the babies you pretend to care about going to drink Sarah?
Unfortunately for said hostages, the Israeli military as a formal policy (Hannibal doctrine? Or something) which they denied, then leaked verification, considers all captured personnel K.I.A. and has even tried to preemptively kill their own units if it looks like they're going to be taken or overrun.
Kinda paints Adam Sandler's role in You Don't Mess With The Zohan in a very different light
GAZA: Builds power plant Israel: bombs power plant until it can't function
Libs: I just.dont understand why Gaza isn't just building more power plants.
This is the dumbest take from a celebrity I’ve seen yet
Here is the tweet with all the factually incorrect bits removed:
it's inhumane that Israel is cutting off water/electricity to Gaza.
Israel made it pretty simple -
Israel inhumane.
Hamas didn't
spend billions of dollars on terrorismRussia simultaneously so powerful they can cause an undersea pipeline in the most heavily surveiled strech of ocean in the world without a shred of evidence, use Ukrainian missiles to crash into their own high priority targets like civilian residences, completely control the entire internet and all of U.S. politics for the last decade or more, but also is so weak, stupid, poor and inept 50 Russian soldiers charge into tank fire while all sharing the same trench coat and empty rifle with a single rusty bayonet split between them, etc etc etc etc
...but it's everybody else that's brainwashed
You know it's bad when senior democrats and cable TV news lapdogs are like yo wtf why does Biden looks and sounds like a can of brain damaged dogshit? Oh I don't fucking know maybe you cleared the field for the candidate that has already had two hemorrhagic strokes back in the fucking 90s, probably from the nut he bust after the three strikes law he authored passed and then again when he filibuster cheerlead us into Iraq 2.0. No stutter during that fucking speech, warmongering piece of shit
I'm just out here hoping I recognize the nuclear flash in time to enjoy a single moment of pure, unburdened bliss immediately before the electrons flay all the fucking neutrons off my atoms or whatever, you know?
Just once

that half second where you can relax and think "no work tomorrow!"
The person who called Chinese people the slur that starts with C and rhymes with "rink" on TV is racist? No waaaaaayyy...
She’s right. Israel doesn’t need to supply those resources. Palestine should be administering those resources to themselves, but they cannot because a foreign occupying force is blockading them. This is no different than Anglos thinking they’re nice because they provide their slaves with rationed water for free
"Israel made it pretty simple: The collective punishment of Gaza which falls very cleanly under the definition of a war crime will end once the only leverage Palestinians have to deter even more brutal aggression is released."
What day is she hosting the Daily Show again? I say we do a little trolling, seats to the show are free and there's a bunch of people who I'd love to bring along 
AOC is voting lockstep with the rest of the Democratic ghouls and she's still catching strays, lmao
The wages of a coward
Hamas has never had "billions" at all, let alone to spend just on terrorism.
Go ahead and invest in infrastructure for concentration camp. It'd be a shame if it got damaged somehow.
Wow she sucks shit.
So if kidnappers take hostages in an apartment we can bomb the entire building because, well, you know, those people weren't demanding hard enough from the kidnapper who leaves. Ok, I'll take note in case it happens to her.
theres been a lot of this rhetoric as if palestine is a separate state entirely. A lot of people like sarah silverman here making some bold claims that palestinians could supply their own food and water if they werent so insistent on doing terrorism instead. A lot of people claiming that israel was attacked by foreign terrorists. Have they been tacitly admitting that there ought to be two state solution and that israel is illegally encroaching on a foreign states territory? Obviously not, these are liberal hypocrites after all. Unbothered by facts and consistency they just say what feels right to make their point.
yes but have you tankies considered how kind it is of israel to let their prisoners not starve to death? they totally don't have to! they can just liquidate them when they want; the Palestinian people are israel's ~~slaves~~ prisoners
You know who also needs food and water? Hostages. I wonder who will be prioritized as the entire city's remaining supplies dwindle? Probably not them. Also, isn't it a bit risky to be bombing the hell out of a city when you don't even know where said hostages could be? These people don't even care for the lives of the hostages, and actively crave the blood of Palestinians.
all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.
Ok, well that's another opinion discarded for the trashcan of ideology. Zero respect for genocidal idiots like this.
