Palestinian Territory - Israel continues to ignore orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including the Court’s most recent ruling. This ruling requires Israel to halt its military assault on the Rafah Governorate in the southern Gaza Strip and reopen the Rafah border crossing to facilitate the movement of people and humanitarian aid. In the 48 hours that followed the ICJ’s ruling on Friday 24 May, however, Israel conducted more than 60 air raids on Rafah.
Furthermore, dozens of artillery shells and constant gunfire were fired in areas of Rafah where the Israeli military was encroaching. Israel’s ground incursion began at dawn on 7 May and has since spread to the west and central parts of the city, mostly along the border strip. It has already impacted a significant portion of the city.
Thirteen Palestinians were killed in the 48 hours following the Court’s ruling, including six members of the Qishta family, an elderly mother and three of her children—two girls and one boy —and an adult son and his two children. The victims were killed when Israeli planes bombed their home on Saturday 25 May in Khirbet Al-Adas, north of Rafah, an area not included in the Israeli evacuation orders.
Fuck any politician who thinks they can support this shit and I’ll ever support them again.
They know this isn’t what their voters want, but:
What are you gonna do, vote Republican?
No, they’re just not going to vote, even though trump is terrible. It’s like Biden trump as an excuse to just not give a fuck. Hillary did too.
The last 12 years, and they’re still going with it.
As much as moderates bitch about trump they love him, it’s the only way to get people to vote for moderates.
A reminder that not voting, has the same effect as splitting your vote proportionally to the eventual winner.
So in that way you are supporting that candidate.
Vote for someone else if you want to make a point.
I’ll vote for the candidate that deserves my vote.
If that’s “none of the above” like from Brewster’s Millions, well, that would make sense considering both candidates are running for president like the last thing they want is to be president, they just can’t drop out of the election.
If the DNC wants more votes next election, maybe they shouldn’t run an 82 year old conservative who went around Congress to fund a genocide then blamed peaceful protestors when zionists and cops attack them?
Seems kind of common sense, the left wing part should be left wing…
But it is what it is.
If you don’t like it, why try to convince 100s if millions of people to vote for someone they disagree with rather than the handful of people at the DNC that decide who the candidate is, to pick a better candidate to push thru the primary next time?
I would have said convince Biden to do anything, but we all know he’s going to do whatever the fuck he wants. He’s 82 years old, and that’s what that generation thinks a leader is. Just like trump.
The problem is the majority of voters are half their age and we’re just not into that shit.
Making a point is what the primary is for.
The point that was made was they’ll declare it over after the first handful of states, and if you keep voting progressive early, they’ll take your delegates away.
A couple years ago the DNCs lawyers made another point to a judge:
It doesn’t matter if we interfere in the primary, it’s not real and we can just ignore the results.
Tell me again why anyone cares about the primary?
2020 we said it could pull Biden to the left. It did till the election, January wasn’t even over before he said he couldn’t change any Dem senator’s mind so it would be a waste of time to try for anything.
So while letting the primary run to the convention would help the party’s choice in the general, they’re not prepared to take the risk of their pick losing and having to nominate against the primary result.
So please, let me know there’s so magical way primary votes matter.
And what the ones of us in the 45 states that don’t vote till long after the DNC declared a victory can do?
Hell, my ballot literally didn’t even have a “undecided” option. There was one circle next to Biden’s name and that was fucking it.
And why do you think non voting makes a difference in your favor? There is no progressive party. There is a conservative party and a REGRESSIVE party. You think hitting the gas pedal on reverse is going to help the situation? You’re being a clown. You deserve what you’re voting for.
So you’re voting Republican.
No, they aren’t voting.
No they’re voting Republican.
Netanyahu wants Trump and will continue to ignore all attempts to intervene until Trump is elected, at which point Gaza will be annexed, the remaining Palestinians will be killed or “relocated”, and he will pressure Trump to bomb Iran. The ICJ, UN, Europe, and Democrats no longer have any influence on the Israeli right-wing government. This is all for naught.
Bibi will name it Trump Alley or something else equally ridiculous, just like he did with the Golan Heights.
Why is Biden making it easier for Trump to get reelected?
cuz at nearly 90 and held together by cutting edge miracle drugs, he’s probably at least a little out of touch, and has no way of understanding how big the blunder is he’s making, and it’s far worse than Hilary’s decision to simply not campaign at all until it was too late.
Because the democratic party should never have chased him in the first place, he said he didn’t want to and he meant it. But they couldn’t embrace new ideas and nobody can put a good face on the old ideas any more so they frankensteined up the monstrosity and affront to nature, man, and democracy we now see before us, and we coulda had Bernie Sanders, who would have risen to the occassion in stellar form and changed the course of history. Good job, DNC! Great system you’ve got down there, well and competently managed, to boot. /wrist
But Trump is going to Hitlertown in a honky carriage, and if that happens EVERYBODY is probably fucked, so make the right decision, would you, please?
Biden is doing genocide. We’re already in Hitlertown.
This November is a choice between polite Hitler and rude Hitler. If you vote for this, the Democratic Party is going to learn one lesson: they can kill as many children as they want and not lose a single vote i.e. “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” If Blue MAGA wins, they will put me in a camp and you will vote for it because the other party would be ‘worse.’
Idk man, Trump’s got some wild plans for Hitlertown.
“On day one, we’ll restore our travel ban. We had a travel ban because we didn’t want people coming into our country who really loved the idea of blowing our country up,” he said. He called the ban an “amazing success.”
“We didn’t have one incident in four years, because we kept bad people out of our country,” he claimed.
“I’ll also be implementing strong ideological screenings for all immigrants coming in,” he said. “If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country and you’re not going to be getting into our country.”
Trump also said he would cancel student visas of Hamas sympathizers.
“The college campuses are being taken over, and all of the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests this month, nobody’s seen anything like it,” he said. “Come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you.”
…
As president, Trump would “put every single university and college president on notice,” he said. “The American taxpayer will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers on American soil.”
I know you were speaking in hyperbole, but it sounds like he’d actually be gunning to actually put Palestine supporters in camps.
I am not speaking in hyperbole!
Biden is already cracking down on peaceful protesters who support Palestinians, it isn’t much of a stretch to start going after people more broadly. Biden has already "put every single university and college president on notice,” and Republican congressional members are doing McCarthyist witch hunts.
If you actually pay attention, the stuff Trump says he’s going to do is already happening.
By the time we get to the election it’s already going to be much worse than it’s already gotten, and you will vote for it.
Can you link some sources as examples?
Examples of the hundreds of people being rounded up at dozens of pro-Palestine protests? I suppose Biden has plausible deniability here since he’s not sending in National Guard, but these are cities controlled by Democrats in states controlled by Democrats at schools predominantly supporting Democrats. With as heavily armed our cops are in this fascist country they don’t need National Guard to crack down anymore.
Either choice he makes does that. And Netanyahu knows this.
He could choose to do what his supporters want him to do, but he won’t. A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel’s actions in Gaza. A majority of US voters want a permanent ceasefire. The numbers are even more stark among his own base. There’s no constituency for this genocide unless he’s trying to win over Trump’s base.
If he turns on Israel, he will lose in a landslide. Of that you can be absolutely certain.
I just posted polls that clearly show the opposite.
If he lets Israel drag us into WW3 he will certainly lose in a landslide. If he does what Reagan did and force Israel to back down, he’ll maybe lose some support from hardcore Zionists (who are mostly Republicans anyway) but he’ll gain back a lot more from the majority of Americans that oppose this genocide.
People like me.
I’m not voting for genocide and you have no one to blame for that but Biden. Deal with it.
Yes and
Putin says Russia prefers Biden to Trump but criticizes current US policy
Not sure I’m going to take these people on their word.
For Netanyahu there’s little difference between Biden and Trump.
Not according to the source I linked. His split with Biden and the Democrats has been years in the making, and has reached a point of no return. He wants Trump, and he’s willing to drag Biden through the mud to get Trump. This is not according to Bibi, this is according to people who worked for Obama and Biden, as well as Democrats in Congress.
Netanyahu wants Biden or Nikki Haley. Here’s clear evidence of whom israel prefers.
Sorry, the website doesn’t make it clear to me, what are these numbers indicating they’re a recipient for? Are these direct donations from Israel?
This is Pro-Israel Recipients. So donations from lobbies like AIPAC and other groups that bribe politicians into supporting israel.
Israel ≠ Netanyahu
There’s a very big difference between what the broader Jewish community prefers and what Netanyahu’s right-wing government prefers. But, to be sure, the best way to make those one in the same would be to withdraw support.
Jews are not Zionists. Much of the Jewish community does not support the existence of israel whatsoever.
The Zionists that do support israel bribe off both Democrats and Republicans. But they have hit the jackpot with Genocide Joe. There has never been an American president more willing to throw away his entire election in order to bow down for israel.
If Zionists truly were trying to get Trump elected over Biden then there’s no reason for Biden to keep supporting this Genocide. And you would have to question Bidens sanity instead of his morals.
You could link to resources on Jewish opposition to Zionism.
Until World War II, anti-Zionism was widespread among Jews for varying reasons. Orthodox Jews opposed Zionism on religious grounds, as preempting the Messiah, while many secular Jewish anti-Zionists identified more with ideals of the Enlightenment and saw Zionism as a reactionary ideology.
The whole article has a fantastic background. Basically, Zionism was considered sinful!
They are literally bombing civilians in tents. Israel is a rogue state.
Israel is awful and disgusting.
