'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees

Jump

  • I'm not from the US but I know that I would really struggle morally to cast a vote for either party.

    Yes, voting for Trump because of Palestine is stupid, but I can easily see how voting for the party that keeps sending money and weapons, and supporting them in the UN, while pretending to ask them to "be more careful about killing civilians", would not be very desirable either.

    The US electoral system is absolute dogshit, but in my opinion the Dems lost this election all by themselves.

    Edit: are the downvotes because you disagree, or because you're upset that I'm right?

  • It also says that younger generations (who presumably consume the most social media) are the biggest readers of books, and that they appear to be the most ready/keen to enact change.

    Based on the data presented in the article, it's clear that you can consume both types of media/information simultaneously without "throwing away your phone".

  • Relations between Ireland and Israel have long been strained because of Ireland’s stance on Palestine.

    Yeah it's all Ireland's fault that relations are strained 🤦‍♂️

  • That's my belief versus the mostly confirmed accounts that are based on limited evidence.

    Describing it as factual was my mistake, but I did so because of how incredibly likely I think it is.

  • There's no way anyone can know that without a full and transparent investigation being done, which Israel did not allow to happen.

    That said, there are many indicators that they did a significant amount of damage.

    One example:

    All the burned bodies and cars from the festival that were somehow burned by Hamas (with molotovs?), and definitely not by Apache helicopters equipped with hellfire missiles. Oh... except for the handful of bodies that turned out to be Hamas fighters. THOSE ones were killed and burned by hellfire missiles, but the Israeli bodies were burned by Hamas. And so were their cars of course. Let's not worry about why the cars were trucked off far away, shredded, and compacted before being buried. Definitely has nothing to do with making it harder to investigate what actually happened to them.

    Much of this info has been available for over a year now.

  • I don't think it's hard to imagine how tanks, artillery, and apache helicopters would do more damage than rifles and a handful of RPGs.

    You just have to look at the incinerated cars and bodies from the festival to see how much damage the helicopters did there.

  • Their plans were clearly to capture and ransom them. Even Israeli witnesses testify to that, as well as to the fact that the IDF did the vast majority of damage.

    • So is Israel just going to completely overtake Palestine?
