sadly, nothing new-- the last administration was directly funding and covering for israel's extermination campaign- well over 200 journalists killed in the last year.. but yes, this is more of the same in a more domestic and less murderous sense.

yes, isn't that funny, they're both corrupt parties run by criminals! imagine that, some agreement here.

We were all telling you that one of them would be worse for Palestine than the other. And that’s the dude giving Israel bigger bombs.

Let me ask who you voted for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i'll be the guy to admit it since you're all cowards about your obvious support for the neoliberal war agenda, i voted third party.. i voted jill stein- please spend your energy attacking jill stein, now, you muppet.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So you voted Jill Stein taking votes away from the democrats which in turn gave the presidency to the republicans who are factually going to be worse for Palestinians.

I’m not even American I have nothing to be a coward about. My own government is also complicit in surrporting Isreal (UK).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

see, i have a different take-- the democrats lost my vote. period.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing your different take. 😞

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

well, we do live in a society.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you a bot?

Because you didn’t share your take or try to engage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

no, i'm not a bot. i left my 'take' and that's why we're in this mess. we're all victims of some kind of programming, though.. so there's a shred if truth in your incredulity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"bigger bombs" gaza is completely destroyed.. as well as the innocent civilians they targeted.. that happened during biden's presidency... biden the self-proclaimed zionist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please do tell all the Palestinians still in Gaza that their lives are so meaningless to you that they do not exist.

Because that is what you're saying right now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

according to your warped interpretation. i know what i'm saying and i don't have the memory of a goldfish, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your words:

“bigger bombs” gaza is completely destroyed… as well as the innocent civilians they targeted…

Is it completely destroyed along with all the civilians or not?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you don't need my word, go and find some images to look at.. there's ample photo and video evidence... the civilians they targeted died, yes. the official numbers are as low as 40k or thereabouts -- that was within 3 months of the campaign's start.. please, go look and confirm for yourself

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It sure still sounds like you're saying the Palestinians currently living in Gaza do not exist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

well again, that's not what i'm saying.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I see, you're just saying they don't matter. Gotcha.
