Yeah but you can't know for an absolute fact that Harris wouldn't have done the same thing therefore allowing Trump to get in and actually do it was justified.

/s

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago

People are literally saying she would have done the same thing elsewhere on Lemmy and it's just baffling. Anything to justify their lack of involvement in this, I guess.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

Some of the shit people say on here just baffles me, sometimes. It's impossible to satirise.

Auth-Left -> Co-opted by the Right

Lib-Right -> Co-opted by the authoritarians

Auth-Right -> Proud fascists

Lib-Left -> There's like 10 of us

Hey does that sound like this was planned all along to anyone else or what?

Of course that’s such a silly notion. My goodness.

[-] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

Yeah Trump and co have been speaking about it for months that's what we were saying.

Maybe when someone tells you who they are, listen.

[-] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world 34 points 17 hours ago

I don't know how planned it was, but Kushner was on record saying that Gaza strip is prime beachfront property and should be used for development accordingly.

Panama Canal, Canada, Greenland, Gaza…. He’s just trying to get his hands on whatever he can. That’s what he wants for his legacy, he saw Putin trying to get the band back together and wanted to emulate it.

The best part is the only justification for keeping china and Russia at bay was because the US is morally superior and doesn’t invade weaker countries just because it can. Well the US is 100% full of shit. All bets are off

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 20 points 17 hours ago

US taking over Gaza. What could possibly go wrong here.

[-] pyrflie@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Killing American citizens. As a recorded fact. This is something we will kill Americacan citizens over. Israel crossed a recorded line. Israeli citizens will die due to this. They are not Americans and we will kill them in retribution. Neyathue needs to understand we will have a life for a life.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

No, all the stupid rich Christians will go buy the land and the Israelis will shoot them too because they truly believe God said they could have it. Then the US Military hops in for an eternal war and foothold in the middle east.

Gotta secure the ground for more Starbucks.

Trump lies like regular people breathe. Anyone who believed him was a fool. But I'm not looking forward to all of the sanctimonious dipshits making mean comments about Palestinians/Arabs who voted for him in the hope that he would be better than Biden.

People were desperate and the Democrats made damned sure they felt voiceless, so they threw their lot in with the devil in the hopes that some babies in Gaza would live to see their next birthday. Again, they were fools. But seeing people gleefully throw the impending (and continued) genocide in their faces makes me feel sick

[-] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 19 points 17 hours ago

Nobody is gleeful, as far as I've seen. Yeah everyone who told people that this is what was going to happen gets to say "I told you so" but they aren't happy, they're just pissed off in multiple directions now.

[-] LadyMeow 7 points 16 hours ago

I’m not gleeful at all. Just more sad. Sad for the Palestinians, sad for us in America, sad for the rest of the world too. What a huge mess.

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Sadly I've seen several comments in other threads that I would regard as gleeful/mean-spirited, and over in the bad place they're posting about voters from Dearborn on r/leopardsAteMyFace.

I think if people want to have words with the independents/third party contrarian crowd who couldn't hold their nose and do the right thing that's one thing. But going after people from the Palestinian/Levantine/Arab community who acted out of hopelessness is both counter-productive and profoundly lacking in empathy

Edit: spelling
