sadly, nothing new-- the last administration was directly funding and covering for israel's extermination campaign- well over 200 journalists killed in the last year.. but yes, this is more of the same in a more domestic and less murderous sense.
🤡
i expect to get ratio'd for bringing any semblence of balance to the discussion here. i'm no trump apologist, but democrats still have a lot to answer for, too.
we are like 11 days in and have already become more officially fascist than not, and you think the painfully tiresome wHaTaBoUt bullshit is "balance" because you say it is? GTFO
well, you can just downvote me, i guess. free country, innit?
Yes, 5 day old account.
For now.
Yes you are. Anytime you say 'both sides are the same', you're just excusing the ways this administration is making things so much worse.
The Democrats suck, but saying they're both the same despite drastic differences in magnitude is carrying water for trump to minimize the changes they're making.
no, i'm not. i'm sick of the democrats only having energy when they're out of power-- they chose to support genocide and bypass democracy to appoint their defacto choice for successor.
Yes, you are. It's fine to take them to task, but don't minimize the shit that's going on now with that dismissive and objectively incorrect bullshit. It makes you look ignorant and uninformed about things when you incorrectly say they're the same when they're clearly much worse.
But whatever, I'm sick of arguing with BoTh SiDeS bullshit people. Bye.
Oh they've taken a step further than 'both sides are the same.' In order to support their argument, they are claiming in another part of this thread that Gaza has no people in it. They are actually trying to claim that Israel has killed literally every Palestinian in Gaza (presumably with Biden's help) in order to avoid blaming the current administration for anything.
I'm really not surprised, these people didn't seem super honest from the start. I'm just at the point where I call people on bullshit and block when they try to justify accelerationist or cryptofascist shit.
E: LOL mfer is tried to tone police the conversation when you called them out. Good on you for keeping on these people and showing just how unserious and obviously trolling they are.
They don't really care. It's all a scapegoat to not vote, bury their heads in the sand, and pretend they have moral high ground.
Yes you are
can i call you a genocide apologist ? i assume you call yourself a democrat and were pulling for kamala to continue biden's heinous legacy... feel free to correct me on this, its just an assumption after all (man enough to admit that)
I'm not concerned with your assumptions, only what you've told us here
lol.. not willing to back your horse publicly?
I've stopped with this stupid game of defending myself against random accusations. Tagged you as BoTh SiDeS
"are criminals"
And why do you feel balance is the most important thing right now?
"the most important thing" excuse me? don't put words in my mouth.
Because it's the only thing you mentioned. Don't take me for a fool.

yes, isn't that funny, they're both corrupt parties run by criminals! imagine that, some agreement here.
We were all telling you that one of them would be worse for Palestine than the other. And that’s the dude giving Israel bigger bombs.
Let me ask who you voted for.
i'll be the guy to admit it since you're all cowards about your obvious support for the neoliberal war agenda, i voted third party.. i voted jill stein- please spend your energy attacking jill stein, now, you muppet.
So you voted Jill Stein taking votes away from the democrats which in turn gave the presidency to the republicans who are factually going to be worse for Palestinians.
I’m not even American I have nothing to be a coward about. My own government is also complicit in surrporting Isreal (UK).
see, i have a different take-- the democrats lost my vote. period.
Thanks for sharing your different take. 😞
"bigger bombs" gaza is completely destroyed.. as well as the innocent civilians they targeted.. that happened during biden's presidency... biden the self-proclaimed zionist.
Please do tell all the Palestinians still in Gaza that their lives are so meaningless to you that they do not exist.
Because that is what you're saying right now.
according to your warped interpretation. i know what i'm saying and i don't have the memory of a goldfish, sorry.
Your words:
Is it completely destroyed along with all the civilians or not?
you don't need my word, go and find some images to look at.. there's ample photo and video evidence... the civilians they targeted died, yes. the official numbers are as low as 40k or thereabouts -- that was within 3 months of the campaign's start.. please, go look and confirm for yourself
It sure still sounds like you're saying the Palestinians currently living in Gaza do not exist.
well again, that's not what i'm saying.
I see, you're just saying they don't matter. Gotcha.
He's giving them the same bombs that the last guy was.

Folks? This is the imperial boomerang. What we do overseas comes home!
Israel is the laboratory. What they test there will come back to us eventually. Do not be shocked when Trump drone strikes a "migrant caravan" or something.
