People calling for ceasefire have been continually dismissed and told only a pause is possible. Now that Bidens support is tanking there is at least a pause. We'll see what happens in 4 days,

Reminds me of jim crow and the "back to africa" position advocated for as the more kind way to treat fornerly enslaved folks. "We're treating you so poorly, wouldnt you rather leave?" Big morality brain

If someone steals your land, you tend not to want to split it in half. As you Link shows, sentiments are shifting more recently.

Accurately they beleived that a 2 state solution is not possible. Look at the islands created in the west bank by illegal israeli settlments. Going back to 1967 boarders would mean relocating the most radical and conservative israelis.

Frankly a 1 state solution is necessary, one which gives israelis and palestinians equal rights and say in governance. It's everyone's 2nd or 3rd choice, but it's that or genocide of palestinians unfortunately.

Cool genocide justification bro. About half of respondents to some poll supported the biggest political force in Palestine.

What if america was being bombed because there are so many republican voters, and that party harbors dispicable terrorists who do mass shootings.

Its wild how right wing entiries have eachothers back in a way the left rarely does. Even when they fight eachother, it's a tide raising all boats (and drowning innocents).

Domestic fascists took some notes from their buddies abroad.

(The note was, "but hamas")

According to a source trusted by US and UN officials for decades.

Textbook genocide denial tho, good job. Remember this is who you are in a few years.

The US and UN have used trusted the GHM numbers for decades. Now that there is a genocide they're being questioned.

It also implies some smaller number is more acceptable. What is it? 6000? 4000? 2000? How many dead civilians would you like there to be?

Extremely generous estimate, Hamas is not half of all Palestinian men.

Would that it were. Jews benefit from white privilege, however the identity is not just a belief. Antisemitism frames jews as non-white and thus, jews face unique race-like prejudice other white people don't. It's nit like nazis look the other way when a jew converts to Christianity, they see "jewish" as a blood type. Similarly there is nothing real about race, until white supremacy enforces a hierarchy based in it.

(Edit: note, none if this is a defense of the ethnostate of israel)

Many folks could reduce meat consumption now as well to mitigate the damages.

Americans have developed a norm of every meal needing meat, when for much of history it was a few times per week.

That blame cuts both ways. Biden neglecting the progressive leaders if the party is his own undoing. The right is happy to sink centrists, and thats why the US is drifting so far right.

Honestly he's probably going to win anyway. Biden has only courted the centrists whi will vote based on gas prices and inflation. Progressives withdrawing support may at least show the next round we cant be taken for granted.

Bit of a dead end for that energy now though. There were two bites at the apple wither Bernie Sanders, which illustrated the DNC will pill out stops to keep party loyals. So what's left for a mobilized progressive movement? Cant fight in the party, cant fight outside the party.

As an american jew, hostages don't justify genocide. Never again means never again.

They've already killed more Palestinian civilians than Russians did Ukrainian civilians. In one month.

They're totally out of touch, and expected a 9/11 like bloodlust. But 22 years is a long time, and the internet is able to disrupt the manufacturing of consent for genocide.

SmartTubeNext used to work, not sure if it still does

At this point, everyone should invest a fraction of that into automating youtube downloads. No ads, no buffering, and $200 will get you eniugh hard drive space for years.

If one side can turn off the other sides water and communications at will...it's not a war. Hamas is a fractured and opportunistic militia, without enough sovereignty to actually govern.

To also highlight, half of Palestinians are undrr 20 years old, so at most 4 years old when Hamas was elected. Hamas supporters also represented about 45% of the votes, compared to the 42% voting for the progressive party. They spoke for half of a mostly dead generation, and have since been left holding the bag as the only defense force as palestine is fractured by illegal settlments and bombed to hell.
