All it would take is threatening an arms embargo. Presidents have stopped Israel via a single phone call before, and they need our billions of dollars worth of bombs to continue. Don’t act like we’re powerless small beans here.
Worst case, they keep going but not on our dime and not with our support.
Sorry Kamala ran a dogshit campaign and failed. If you can’t extract any concessions from our representatives in a democracy, what the fuck is the point? Not doing genocide should be bare fucking minimum.
Well, liberalism is the moderate wing of fascism. Ya’ll are so fucking smarmy while being propagandized stooges for the status quo. At least the rank and file conservatives are so bat shit insane they’re at least funny usually. They also have the capacity to reckon with the fact that real material problems exist, even though their solutions are so misdirected.
No, but I understand the people not wanting to cosign the genocide and not voting or voting 3rd party. I can even forgive the low information voter that was hopeful toward Trump’s vague allusion toward stopping the wars (even though obviously this is incorrect).
The least scratched liberal over here.
Are you imaging a world where Kamala wasn’t full throatedly supporting the genocide as well? Kamala “Most lethal military”, “Israel has a right to defend itself”, “No arms embargo”, “I’m basically Joe Biden but I want Republicans in my cabinet” Harris?
If they aren’t occupiers…
Why doesn’t Gaza have an airport? (it was destroyed in 2002 and not allowed to rebuild)
What happens when Gazan’s go too far off the coast? (they get shot)
What happens when they go past the border wall? (they get shot)
But sure, maybe you like the term “under seige” better? Is that more accurate for you?
Social media, not western news agencies. The news is highly biased toward Israel even if the people generally aren’t falling for it.
Please tell me you think it’s justified to hold a child in prison for years for throwing a rock at a tank. Oh, or maybe they illegally walked on the wrong side of the road in the west bank. I really want to hear this.
They act as a mediator for Israel to fund Hamas.
Not saying they’ve never given any of their own money to the governing body of a destitute open air prison, but that wouldn’t be unique to them.
The hostage deal was negotiated by Qatar, the Hamas leadership is living in luxury in Qatar
You’re spelling out how they’re acting like a neutral party here.
Qatar is seeking to gain more influence in the future of Gaza.
It’s a destitute open air prison. Come on now.
Is this really the right moment to blindly trust the Qatar state owned news source with its reporting about a Qatar negotiated deal related to a conflict that Qatar has a vested interest in?
I don’t blindly trust their reporting. It was one search result. Most of the details on Israeli actions and policy come straight from Israeli sources like B’Tselem.
Is it not true? You could tell me that with something backing it instead of complaining about a reputable source.
Recognized as a non-member observer state, and the countries actively oppressing them currently do not.
The same ones that hand-wring endlessly about a “two state solution”.
Why not? They’re a great source unless they’re reporting on something related to Qatar’s own government / interests.
Palestinians would love to be recognized as a state. Why aren’t they?
Many Palestinian prisoners aren’t charged with crimes and have “secret evidence” held against them. Given Israel’s track record of lying and colonialist activity, I’ll leave you to decide if they actually do have that evidence. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/5/2/more-than-600-palestinians-held-by-israel-without-charge-or-trial
On top of that, the vast majority of the actual crimes are incredibly minor like rock throwing, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a child. The conditions and treatment in Israel prisons for Palestinians is incredibly grim as well.
There’s a thin vaneer of an unjust legal framework, and the aims of Israel aren’t as explicit to hold them for trade, but they’re a whole lot closer to being hostages than most people care to admit.
You’re aware of the existence of lying, right?
Split between 4 charities. I’d have to assume the lion’s share would go toward Gaza.
I mean, the US does have access to the money and weapons faucet Israel relies on.
I can’t ever know what’s in people’s hearts and minds, but I see their output clear as day.
And to be fair, the above comment was referencing the quote “Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds”. I was calling them a fascist for telling the anti genocide folks to fuck off because his blue team lost.
