The UN statistics on deaths in Gaza have not been updated in months. Do you know why? Because israel has killed everyone that can count the dead and israel is not counting the dead.

Israel does not have numbers on how many people they’ve killed because they frankly do not care.

To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem’s death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn’t allowed any 3rd party verification.

Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem’s death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.

You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.

But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?

I once saw a hamas at a wendy’s. I was so ascared that the hamas was going to get me. Then the hamas just told me to stop starring at them. When I ever so politely yelled at them for hamasing around me, they just kept saying “Fuck off, I’m Mexican”, which I think is a new hamas antisemitic slur.

You did not answer my questions.

But I’ll answer yours. Hamas is not in the west bank you dolt. There is no “pretending” about it. You actually have to be mentally ill to think that somehow “Hamas” has spread out of one of the most heavily guarded regions through Israel and into the next most heavily guarded regions, the west bank.

I guess if you’ve now taken israel’s definition of “hamas” which is all arabs, then yeah, hamas is literally everywhere in the region.

Now, explain why fighting “hamas” involves desecrating bodies and bulldozing homes? How is that counter terrorism? Oh wait, you don’t think arabs are human so I guess that makes it ok, right?

Cool… and how many hostages are in the west bank? What did the west bank do to justify this invasion? Yeah…

The engine has hundreds of parts but really only a couple of them are moving. That’s the beauty of electric motors.

We have an ally next door, Jordan.

We’d probably have more allies if we dropped support.

What we are doing is equivalent to us deciding to support North Korea and being shocked that all of a sudden we lose regional support from just about everyone.

Israel, especially with an ongoing genocide, is toxic to stability and alliances. It isolates more than it gives strategic advantage.

If you’re interested, here’s a pretty good podcast episode that sat down with Dr. Janale Schmidt, a history professor who ultimately got the Robert e Lee statue melted down.

[It Could Happen Here] Melting Charlottesville’s Robert E Lee Statue #itCouldHappenHere https://podcastaddict.com/it-could-happen-here/episode/171742565 via @PodcastAddict

What I find fascinating about the whole story is she did not start with the goal of melting down the statue. In fact, this whole controversy was kicked off because the city of Charlottesville wanted to move the statue to a less prominent park, rather than having it in the center of the city.

She talks about the journey of the statue and why ultimately they came to the conclusion that destruction was the right decision (including the fact that they observed these statues turning into racist shrines after the initial incident).

But hey, he called you an asshole and said you need a come to Jesus moment. So that makes him cool right?

I believe that we should take the statues and move them into museums dedicated to history. We can’t change what happened before we got here, but we can clean up leftover shit and make the future a better place to live.

Let me share 2 practical real reasons why that’s a bad idea.

1. there are a LOT of these statues and these things are HEAVY. A responsible museum won’t accept this stuff because there’s simply not the room for it.

2. The people that will accept it end up being the last people that should. Like stone mountain Park, which enshrines and worships these racist assholes.

The very real problem is by having and concentrating this “artwork”, you create meeting spaces for white supremacists. Because ask yourself, WHO is going to and wants to experience the confederacy memorials?

Exactly, I demand better of him and I will probably vote for him. I really wonder though how someone that’s a Muslim or Palestinian can stomach voting for him. His policies around Israel are pretty much identical to what Trump would do which is a big deal for a lot of people. He’s basically saying “Forget that I let Israel murder and starve to death your loved ones, I’ve been pretty good when it comes to monopolies right?!?”.

I’ll vote for him because he’s the better of two options, however, he has blood on his hands and that may just lose him a second term.

This is such a misleading headline, it’s propaganda. Biden Did not say “Immediate ceasefire, no excuses” Boy I wish he did. Instead he said “Boy I hope we have a cease fire. There’s no excuses for Israel keeping aid from going in”.

Ok, read what actually was said then come back.

The headline is misleading. Biden simply said “I hope a ceasefire happens one day”. Which is a FAR cry from “demanding a ceasefire now”. He isn’t doing enough because he hasn’t been saying things like “We are planning on withdrawing aid from Israel if they keep up this offensive”. Instead it’s “Well golly gee I hope Hamas returns all the hostages for a 2 week ceasefire and no troop withdrawals by Israel.”

But hey, at least he’s decided that he can say the word “ceasefire” Up until maybe a couple of weeks ago that was a forbidden word by the administration.

Look at all these human shields… shielding the food and medical aid. Guess we better mow them down.

The media is starting to turn on Israel. It took them long enough and there’s a lot of damage that’s been done (like firing and sidelining all muslim commentators)

The lightest lightest pressure possible, basically a “maybe you guys should chill out a bit” has been said. Not cease fire, not “we’ll withdraw aid” but rather “this seems a bit much”.

Slowly, most media outlets are FINALLY getting to the point where “hey, maybe the fact that Israel just leveled 70% of Gaza, all the hospitals, and they’ve shut down aid, food, water, and power, while telling the residents to move up Egypt is a bad thing”

It’s insane it’s taken this long for Biden to put up even a modicum of pressure on Israel to slow down.

On the ballot “Putin” or “Frontline”.

At least they’ve neutralized all those 5 year old leaders and infant sympathizers.
