Lol, you don't?

Yeah, and you're arguing with me for a reason. The fact I'm black has nothing to do with it. It was very disingenuous of me to pretend that your position had anything whatsoever to do with that. I know nothing about you so just calling you racist with no evidence is ridiculous and unhelpful

You're doing it right now. You're only arguing with me because I'm black. The hate is on display for everybody to see

So every time a black person expresses an opinion you choose to silence them? I can't believe the hate I'm facing right now

Blaming it on the Jews never gets old.

Wow so you think black people are antisemitic? Why are you so racist?

Do you see how totally fucking stupid that would be as a response to you?

Democrats believe aid to Israel should have strings attached to it and that we should be using everything in our power to manifest an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. That’s not a controversial position within the Democratic Party. It’s only a controversial position with elites in Capitol Hill. Why? Because so much of this right-wing money is being funneled into threatening and bribing politicians to take positions that aren’t popular.

Fuck AIPAC and fuck every spineless politician that toes the line on this issue. If you vote against your conscience you are voting against your constituents and the people who put you into power

Is the Hill trying to get Trump elected too because they published it? And these 62% of democrat voters - paid shills? Russian bots?

As always

The second strike killed 17 children and two women from an extended family.

Hmm now was the perpetrator blind or just evil? Because those are literally the only two options

Why not both?

Multiple State Department officials who have worked on Israeli relations said that Blinken’s inaction has undermined Biden’s public criticism, sending a message to the Israelis that the administration was not willing to take serious steps.

Public criticism, private support. The administration is complicit, and this legacy of aiding genocide will long outlast any positive action Biden has taken thus far

“We completely believe in the two-state solution and a state for the Palestinian people. We believe the best and the most sustainable way to do that is through direct negotiations between the parties,” the White House national security spokesperson, John Kirby, told reporters on board Air Force One on Thursday.

I like how the US is holding this up so they can desperately try to convince Bibi of something he's already refused to accept, after having spent 6 MONTHS failing to get them to stop killing children.

And don't blindly refuse to believe anything you read on the internet

Terrorists, both the settlers and the IDF.

It's going to be really fucking horrible watching the reality of this gradually come into view after there is finally a lasting cease fire. Some people will act shocked and pretend they didn't know but anyone paying attention knows it's there.

Bodies under the rubble, all of the people who died because the health system has been destroyed, the full reality of the looming famine, and all of the people the IDF killed and buried with bulldozers being discovered.

In Cambodia at the killing fields the bodies are barely below the surface in some of the mass graves, some guy's trousers and thigh bone were sticking up through the dirt. Can't get that image out of my head while reading this.

If you go to settings -> comments -> padding style, I set it to minimum which helped. Probably would still have the same issue eventually but it hasn't happened since

Regardless, the defining characteristic of Apartheid is rule over the uncontenting majority by the minority.

Source for the majority/minority claim?

That is the harm of apartheid and that the thing that makes it a crime against humanity as opposed to regular old discrimination.

But "regular old discrimination" is still not a good thing, right?

And who? At best you have people protesting because not all hostages were freed, Israelis aren’t doing shit to stop Israeli crimes against humanity.

True, though before October 7th there were many people protesting Bibi. And while there are not protests for this purpose some Israelis are criticising the crimes against humanity. Not enough, yes, but still.

Last I checked Palestine didn't invade a people’s land, displace them, and run a racist apartheid state for decades, before going full on genocide.

Israel is the aggressor state.

No shit bro. Just saying this narrative of "there are no innocents" is disgusting and exactly how the worst Israelis and Zionists think of Palestinians. It's up to you if you want to be that hateful, I'm just saying, maybe take a look in the mirror before you continue

Who is innocent in Israel Gaza? Who is actively fighting their government?

This is how you sound. For one, loads of people are fighting the government in Israel. But much worse, this is exactly the same reasoning used to justify the very thing you're (rightfully) angry about

The Israeli prime minister’s office said Wednesday that of the 129 hostages from the October 7 attack currently held, 33 are dead.

So are you saying this article you posted contains misinformation? Or did you not read it?
