Direct death toll in Gaza based on new studies and extrapolating from them is likely over 70 000 (and that probably misses much of the resistance fighters killed) and indirect death toll by the end of summer was cautiously estimated at 60 000.

11k-14k missing and presumed dead not included.

Biden & Trump are not opposites, they are pretty much one & the same when it comes to Palestine.

Biden was supporting or at least open to ethnic cleansing of Gaza early on, but refusal of Egyptian regime to accommodate it stopped it.

At the end he was supporting ethnic cleansing of nothern Gaza.

Egyptian regime is unlikely to be accommodating now either.

It has some 170 000 Palestinian refugees now, 1.2 million Sudanese refugees, and United States would want to dump on an economically struggling regime 2.2 million refugees on refugee camp on Sinai, where a low level insurgency continues.

The only difference between the two will be the expediency of the genocide. The Biden admin would have kept paying lip service to the idea of peace (read as temporary cease fires) while still providing weapons to Isreal and wagging their fingers at them when the get a little too genocide-y.

Okay, then what can we do to help stop Trump from completing the job?

Well, I'm just a reply guy shouting on the internet about the horrors.
However I see the proletariat taking a more aggressive stance in the class war as the most likely candidate. Large scale organized boycotts and general strikes.
Riots are likely inevitable but I don't expect they'll care.

They have control of all branches of government so judicial and democratic means are unlikely to be much use beyond delaying their actions somewhat.
All avenues of resistance should be taken but I think most agree that corporate interests are the biggest voices in government right now so focus there

As a reply-guy myself, I agree it's going to take some form of class upheaval.

It's an absolute atrocity. And my country helped pay for it. And a few of my cousins are cheering it on.

This sounds like a parody of yourself. Liberals repeating this “beaches” line in cult like fashion just sounds like a failure of critical thinking. 10% of Gaza is dead or injured, if that’s not enough to horrify you then we’re not the same species.

suasponte2023.bsky.social•28 days ago

Okay, so what can we do to help stop Trump from continuing the genocide?

It would certainly be easier if you hadn’t smashed the movement against it, and you control all the institutions that could stop this. So please do, we need the press to reverse course, enough pressure can allow other countries to stop him.

suasponte2023.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes, that's me, controller of institutions and smasher of movements. 🙄

What does "press to reverse course" entail? Would you be more specific please.
