The fact that you're citing Gaza having a coastline as evidence that it's not an open-air prison, without mentioning that Isreal controls those waters and does not allow Palestinian use of them (aside from small-scale fishing) tell me that you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Educate yourself before telling people to educate themselves. You're spouting bullshit and look a fool.

Yeah, I'm going to call it here. I did get him to say that the apartheid state is justified because of a war 75 years ago, so I'll take the win.

If anyone else is reading into the trenches of this comment thread, please please read about the Nakba and the systematic ethnic cleansing of Palestine that continues today before bringing your thoughts into this topic. The reality of it is far worse than you can imagine.

Just 2 examples of many, many Zionist genocidal massacres. Read a fucking book.

Even if you were somehow correct, you're basically arguing that Palestinian children today should pay for the crimes of nation-states 3 generations ago. Completely reprehensible.

This guy's understanding of this conflict was clearly just what he gleaned from watching an hour of CNN last week. It's not worth the effort.

Jesus Christ are you talking about 1948? You are actually talking out of your ass and have no idea what you're saying. Go read about the Nakba and come back.

I honestly can't tell if these people are racist, or just extremely misinformed and chirping about a topic that they have no education in.

That's exactly why I enjoy it

Did you read anything past the first sentence? I swear you guys are all illiterate.

Isreal famously never did anything to provoke those rockets. They definitely didn't spend the last 75 years systematically dispossessing Palestinians and subjecting them to extreme violence.

the people of Palestine have agency

That's the best fucking joke I've heard in a long time. Gazans have zero control over their situation. Maybe it's telling that they elected Hamas, (almost 20 goddamn years ago when half their population wasn't even born yet, I might add) who they felt were the only option to get them out of apartheid.

Bombing the shit out of population is a great way to breed extremists, and it will continue to happen as long as the ethnic cleansing continues.

Pirates absolutely can and do arbitrarily determine the value of their plunder. As evidenced by this post.

You can disagree with it, but piracy will always be a part of reality.

House of 1000 Corpses was fun. It wasn't a good movie, but it was fun.

After breakfast than floss+brush before bed. Before breakfast doesn't make sense to me because you're brushing twice when you haven't eaten anything.

Maybe you should put this energy in advocating for change, rather than shaming people into voting for war criminals. You say "in the meantime" like it's just going to come around to you with no action.

Do you guys enjoy continually going through this cycle of 'vote for the least bad war criminal or society will collapse' every 4 years? You realise that you're going to lose at some point, right? It amazes me that liberals keep doing this and never think of trying anything else.

For real, Democratic administrations can't go and have whatever abhorrent policies, including actively supporting an ethnic cleansing, and turn around and go "the other guy is worse, actually. And if YOU don't vote for us it's YOUR fault if this country devolves into fascism"

That is not what a functioning democracy looks like.

If this is the part that shocks you, you haven't been paying attention.

Man the amount of people in this thread that can't understand that some people don't want to vote for someone who is supporting a genocide of their own people. "But Trump is worse!" Well, yeah, but this is still pretty fucking bad, and were I American I'd hesitate to support it too. It's not like most of these people will vote for Trump, they'll just stay home or vote for a 3rd party.

This is the most American response I've ever seen

I checked out your post history, man you're mad at pirates. It's cute.
