Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects of that are not immediately clear, but the territory’s desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.

Sunday’s announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people. It has sought to press Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.

Hamas has pressed to start negotiations on the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase instead, which would see the release of remaining hostages from Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and a lasting peace. Hamas is believed to have 24 living hostages and the bodies of 35 others.

Thank god all the lefites stayed home on election day or this would have happened.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago

It’s almost as nothing happened between October 7th 2023 and November 5th 2024…

If you don't think this would've happened under Harris, I've got a great opportunity for you to make some money on crypto.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sure, sure. Things under Harris would have been just as chaotic, incompetent, and bad for the Palestinians and Ukranians.

Ya got me.

Their moral convictions stayed intact thank god. Well worth...checks notes...literal human lives.

What of the tens of thousands of dead and mutilated Palestinians at the hands of American bombs, jets, and funding from October '23 to January '25? If those deaths don't matter to you then why do these deaths matter to you? Or could it be that you don't really care either way and just want to use it as a political football?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Im not even American. Dont rope me in your weird-ass political posturing.

Obviously it was bad before but now its even worse and its worse for the rest of the world too.

Dont lecture me.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You roped yourself into "political posturing" with your previous comment doing exactly that.

I don't know how genocide becomes "even worse." Care to explain that or is it that "its worse for the rest of the world too" and now that you're personally affected it, it's suddenly an issue.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.

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

You lost because you commented without thinking. You thought your instinctual response was good enough, it wasn't.

Get used to it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I wasnt aware it was a game to lose. Thats the problem with you Americans. You treat everything like a football game.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

If you're replying to a comment with weak ass arguments you have to expect a slap back or just stfu.

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

If you're not American then you should learn to mind your own business

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Or could it be that you don’t really care either way and just want to use it as a political football?

I think we've found the answer!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Why don't you ever blame the people voting for establishment politicians?

They're also sticking to their moral convictions at the cost of human lives since it's becoming clear that the "fall in line crowd" actually isn't falling in line.

Perhaps the people voting for establishment politicians should take their turn "falling in line" if they care so much about human lives? They'd have to sacrifice some of their greed and entitlement though! I don't think it will happen in my lifetime.

The election was stolen. This was going to happen regardless.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're half right

This was going to happen regardless (Harris is a supporter of Israel's actions), but the election was not stolen.

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

The evidence is out there. You don't have to believe it, but it 100% was stolen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Blueanon confirmed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Give some semblance of proof or you're no better than the election deniers from 4 years ago. Hell, without even a theory you're even worse.

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

I'm not here to convince anyone, just here to comment. You're free to do your own research. There's tons of evidence and its going to be even more obvious come midterms.

Also, why do you think they were so vocal about pushing that narrative last go around? Because they knew with what they were planning, people wouldn't want to speak up for fear of precisely what you're doing. Fuck that noise.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You're free to do your own research

And now you're taking a page from the anti-vax movement. No. I don't prove your points, you do that yourself. Should be pretty easy if it's so clearly happening.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I'm not trying to prove a point. I commented on a post and now you're harassing me. Step off.

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

You wont get anywhere with these guys.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Which is why im not bothering. Nobody wants to believe bad actors at the top are solely responsible for this because they're too invested in this culture war bullshit, that's literally solely meant to keep us apart and keep those at the top in power. They'll all see soon enough. Its gonna be so much worse.
