Anyone who imagined that US President Donald Trump would be the Stop the War president the Middle East had been waiting for, should have a look at what is currently underway in the Occupied West Bank.
The images from the hostage release in Gaza City shocked an Israeli public fed on myths of total victory. "After a year and four months, in which the public's eyes have been flooded with information and baseless narratives of stories of total victory and revenge, the Israeli public sees from Gaza images of Toyotas, armed Hamas members and Gaza rising from the ruins," journalist Israel Frey told Middle East Eye.
That said, the large-scale ground assault on the West Bank refugee camps was preplanned. But its timing was enough to keep Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's far right finance minister and de facto consul general of the occupied West Bank, in the cabinet when he threatened to resign over the ceasefire in Gaza. The other item in Smotrich’s sweetie bag was the promise to clear out the army leadership.
Look protest voters, you saved Palestine!
What's a protest voter?
People who didn't vote Harris because the Democrats have stood by and aided a genocide.
A fascist
How is this worse than what Biden was allowing/enabling?
Ok, by your argument, how is this better than what Biden was allowing/enabling?
I'll give one example as to why it's worse, he's literally rolling back the restrictions that Biden put in place.
If only the Democratic Party didn't chose to prioritize continuing the status quo of neoliberalism (at the continued expense of US citizens and victims of US foreign policy), over defeating Fascism by providing genuine solutions for societal problems (at the expense of capital owners, such as public housing and universal healthcare) and following US and International Law to stop supplying arms and international support for a genocide.
Liberalism will always side with Fascism over any socialist opposition out of profit incentive, as has been the case historically. This is just another example
Literal definition of letting the pursuit of perfection become the enemy of good
This is probably the dumbest take I've seen so far. Let the fascists win bcz I didn't get everything I wanted.
Enjoy the leopards.
This is literally the trolley problem. Do nothing because you don't want to "participate"--the trolley kills a dozen people. Choose to "participate" by pulling a lever--only one person will be killed.
It's idealism vs realism. Yes, ideally no one would vote for anyone funding Israel (or allow the trolley to kill anyone, to stick to the analogy), but if we think of the realistic outcomes that will happen, I'm going to pull the lever every time.
Choosing to opt out of engaging with the system is still a choice with real consequences.
