The IAF blew up 400 men, women and children and today Netanyahu said, "this is only the beginning."

You can get deported from the US now for pointing that out.

Well at least we know Trump will handle this much more ethically than that genocide-supporting demon Harris!

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I really don't know, but what was it that convinced you that Harris would stop any of this? I didn't get any inkling from her campaign that she'd do anything about the genocide, maybe I missed something

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

She would have done nothing different than Biden, so nothing would have changed in Israel's mass genocide.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure she wouldn't be deporting people, slashing programs, banning "wokeness" etc, and I know she wouldn't have appointed a bunch of unqualified toadies to head federal departments.

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm asking if she ever said anything that makes you think she'd handle Palestine different

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I really don't know what Harris would do about Palestine, I'm just pointing out that it's not the only issue there is, and that I know she wouldn't be doing the terrible shit MAGA is doing. It's foolish to only think of one issue.

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Your original comment was you sarcastically saying that clearly Harris would be better on this issue, I'm just asking what led you to that conclusion?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I believe she's a far more compassionate and intelligent human being than Bonespurs, who would do better at anything.

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So it's a matter of belief, not based on anything she did or said. I guess I'm just too cynical to believe in any politician that way

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

It's an opinion based on observations of what she did and said. I just can't spit back exactly what things those were, because I can't call up a log of everything I've seen and heard. Also you're not a prosecutor questioning a witness, Sheldon.

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I asked you if there was anything she said or did that convinced you she was better on Palestine and your honest answer is "I don't remember" but you tried really hard to distract me with a bunch of other info instead

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I was just saying what occurred to me. Amazingly, everything doesn't revolve around you. In fact, watch this.

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

You chose to respond in a way that didn't address my question at all, why respond then

First a statement, so i dont get put into pro or anti anyone. I utterly hate the hamas leader who decided to sacrifice palestinians for their cause by igniting this latest bloodbath just as much a I hate the israely leaders who cheefully accepted the invitation to violently take the land. I dont give a rat's ass about religion and strongly advocate against religion being a incentive to kill or be killed. Let people live for fuck's sake. End of statement. (maybe I need a short motto for this)

Now out of pure curiosity Israel tell gazaan to leave but offer no destinations, surrounding countries will not accept gazan partly out of not wishing to be destabilized and partly not wanting to help israel in the cleansing. Was westbank ever considered as a destination ? if so how was it received? It seem to me to be the least horrific solution.

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Israel is in the process of taking more of the West Bank too, Israel isn't going to let Palestinians stay there long term.

This is insane, this message looks like something out of a Command and Conquer game.

Yep, they're saying the quiet part out loud now.

Terrorists were the first step…sounds like the US was interfering before

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Hamas was always a "tame" terrorist force.

Or put another way, the only reason why Hamas existed in the first place is because Israel picked them specifically to be the face of Palestinian resistance in Gaza, and constantly paid them millions to keep them in power, while at the same time, brutally crushed any other groups who might have pushed for Palestinian rights.

There were a bunch of news articles shortly after Oct 7th talking about how Netanyahu's "cash to Hamas" bribery for peace deal had blown up in his face, and no. It did not.

This has been the plan for decades. All Israel needed was an excuse and a somewhat friendly president who could ignore the US' previous policy of paying lip service to a two-state solution.
