Wow, the Gazan civilians must have done something really serious to merit being attacked like this, ending the cease fire...
Right? Um... right? /s
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.
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.
The ceasefire was the only positive thing going on during these past two months. This is fucked up!
I don't care who gets bitchy over this;
America chose bald faced fascism and genocide, over the chance to end genocide and not-fascism.
Suck eggs, whenever you can save up for them. The stay-at-homes are just as guilty.
Sorry your blue team proto-fascists couldn't contain their disgusting bloodthirst enough to win the election from the red team fascists. Think outside of this bullshit electoralist thinking for just a second.
I'll vote so hard for the 3rd party next time! Just your wait and see
There was no chance to end genocide.
Grater than this 0% ? Sure was.
It was always 0% because genocide is bipartisan.
America chose bald faced fascism and genocide, over the chance to end genocide and not-fascism.
There was no chance under biden or harris that the genocide would end without running to completion. None. They're both centrists, and genocide is the only policy I've never seen a centrist abandon.
Voted harris but refuse to carry water for genocide supporters.
Suck eggs = children are dying and I’m gloating over it.
Anything to own the lefties though, eh.
Stopping the genocide was never a choice in the table with the red and blue party
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.
Both Trump and Biden/Harris are terrible choices for Palestine. Having said that, count the number of Palestinian casualties under Biden and the number of Palestinian casualties under Trump. I’ll wait.
Also count the number of weeks of ceasefire brokered by Trump vs Biden.
My friend in lebannon got widowed last year.
Who was in power in the US then?
Americana trying to defend thair country and leaders are making my blood boil. We know, you guys can do even worse, it does not excuse the bad.
...yet i was told that the biden genocide was somehow worse...cake and eat it shit.....
I was told that protest voting would save Gaza, is Gaza saved? /s
I was told that protest voting would save Gaza
Nothing was going to save Gaza. That didn't mean we needed to continue being complicit. But at least centrists didn't have to consider abandoning netanyahu.
What a strawman of an argument you’ve created. That was never an argument being made, it was that genocide wouldn’t be any worse because genocide is genocide.
And how is this at all different from any of the strikes Biden agreed on that resulted in mass deaths?
Oh and the cake you’re laughing about? Those are children’s lives. Get some perspective and stop reveling in misery.
That was never an argument being made
Bullshit. It was absolutely an argument being made. "We kNoW BiDeN sUpPoRtS gEnOcIde; MaYbE tRuMp WiLl Be BeTtEr" (paraphrased) is very much the sort of dumbass rhetoric that was being tossed around and don't you dare try to gaslight me otherwise!
Biden’s help killed more at this time, but Trump should catch up by late summer or early autumn this year. Then we can say Trump killed more than Biden.
But Trumps crimes elsewhere will eclipse this grim milestone , and I doubt most commentators here will remark on that when it happens
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…
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.
And you would understand why if you had any kind of human decency.
People are mourning their dead and you come with your petty domestic political argument? How tone deaf can you be?
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.
The problem with you yanks is that you're too far up your own asses. How predictable is it that the whole discussion under this post is about your last election. Nobody cares any more. Your country is lead by a fascist doing fascist things to you and abroad. And all you do is bicker about what happened half a year ago. Your country is wading in the waters of Rubicon, what are you going to do NOW about it?
They've been waiting for our permission each time?
They have always wait for US green light to do it and they have always had it
so long as trump, bibi, putin, and their sycophants are in power, pretty much every man woman and child in gaza is living on borrowed time.
