Oh look.
The thing we said would happen is gonna happen.
I didn't vote for Harris because Trump didn't do genocide
I wonder where all those people are now. Because they were REALLY active leading up to the election (and shortly after).
I wonder if they realize they were wrong.
EDIT: Oh, they're here, just had to scroll more.
At a glance, no, they don't seem to be taking responsibility, and even still seem to be taking the moral high ground.
Which suggests it wasn't even astroturfing...lol
Harris and Biden prioritized continuing the genocide over beating Trump. They are to blame for this just as much as Trump
Democrats happily stated they would support this as well. If only they tried being different.
Imagine there are people who want you dead for existing. They tell you to leave but you have nowhere to go, because they took your home and nobody wants you. You don't have anything and aren't even able to leave, even if you wanted to. So they come, they kill your family and they kill you.
Now imagine there are people in other parts of the world, they have everything and they didn't even know you, but they consider it served you right.
This world is fucked up.
As a German I'm absolutely horrified by this cruel and inhumane repetition of history.
As a multi-national, multi-ethnic, mutt, I am too.
Given that part of my mutt-makeup is Austrian, I'm offended that Austria and our northern neighbor have greatly contributed to this. Our deserved guilt over the Holocaust blinded us to decade after decade of human rights abuses by Israel.
We've seen this coming for a long time and, as a taxpaying contributor to the biggest funder of Israel, I'm ashamed.
*Biden enables genocide
Progressives: that's fucked up, we should stop supporting Israel
Liberals: ackchually its not a genocide because they only killed a quarter of the population, and you should stay quiet about this because it'll just help trump win
*Trump enables genocide
Progressives: that's fucked up, we should stop supporting Israel
Liberals: I told you so, I told you so, I told you so....
"many seeing the leaflets as an open admission of ethnic cleansing"...
Gee, ya' think?
Netanyayhoo only more emboldened since his butt buddy in office now.
The deafening silence from all the people who were so noisy about gEnOcIdE in October 2024.
Hey, how about instead of chastising people for telling biden/kamala they needed to pivot here you look at the DNC that took a campaign strategy of "Well, let's ignore a huge issue because we don't want to lose donor money".
Trump won by unabashedly appealing to his base. Biden/Kamala lost because they ignored their base and chased after Trump's base instead.
Hi, I'm still here to point out biden was supplying israel with billions in support as they committed genocide all the way until JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. How's that for deafening silence?
By the way, think about what impression you give off when you spongebob text the word genocide. If it helps, try doing that with The Holocaust and think about how that looks.
Nobody is silent about this what the fuck are you even talking about?
It’ll be interesting to see how the media companies deny that this is an open admission of genocide.
Following through on this threat would likely result in another Arab-Israeli war.
Sick ceasefire bro
Let's watch the zionists scramble to protect the settler colonial entity and calling the use of the word "genocide" an overreaction, or even more hilarious, antisemitic.
I've seen a couple of news articles saying the U.S. is setting itself up for another terrorist attack, but a couple of Americans have told me that's not the case and they're not worried about it... anyone have any insight into this they can offer?
They still don't really know why 9/11 happened, they still believe the 'they hate us for our freedoms' line.
I’ve seen a couple of news articles saying the U.S. is setting itself up for another terrorist attack
But why would the trump administration want an excuse to declare martial law?

Americans, on average, are totally ignorant. Don't believe what we say lol.
They cant leave through Israel, or by the sea, and only through rafah if they get humanitarian approval as a medical patient. So they cant leave regardless of what the stupid leaflets say. So its just intended to terrify Palestinians. AKA terrorism.
"Israel has sparked global outrage"
YetI have to learn this from a fringe platform, so small it is allowed to report on these things.
There is no 'global outrage' , nobody even knows this.
Just as nobody has seen the horrificly malnourished Palestinian hostages .
Serious question. Is leaving an option? Is there some kinda line they can go stand in that will relocate them to another country?
Feels like that scene in Independence Day.
"What is it you want us to do?"
"DIE. DIEEEEEEEE!"
How’s all the progressives feeling about Genocide Joe and Kamala now?
I feel like this is not functionally different from what they did. I feel like, if this was such a fucking important election that MAYBE Biden and Kamala should have changed policies on Gaza rather than continually sending aid, weapons and bombs to genociders. That if they truly believed their rhetoric then maybe they should have actually listened to the base that told them aiding genocide would lose them the election.
Yeah, I'm pretty fucking pissed at Biden and Kamala for losing to Hitler 2.0.
Oh, and before you say it, yes I voted for Kamala and told everyone I could that it was the best person to vote for. I also said this would be the thing that lost her the election.
The DNC had to do so little to appease the progressives. Literally just let a Palestinian speak. Or say anything other than "Israel has a right to defend itself". Maybe actually host a sympathetic Imam. That's all they had to do and they didn't even try to do that.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
