Israel is trying to provoke an uprising, that would give it license to unleash a campaign of destruction. It's been happening since October 7 but now intensifies following Netanyahu's promises to Smotrich, to keep him in the coalition.

For all those liberal/centrist people that refused to vote cause wanting to ‘own the dems’ for Gaza, they NEVER wanted to hear anyone say this was going to happen. That Trump already set the stage for this his last term! He moved Israel’s capital to Jerusalem!!

stewartdompe.bsky.social•33 days ago

I found it baffling. The alternative to Kamala was someone much, much worse.

And then they applauded Trump for “forcing” a ceasefire. 🤦

liberationnow.bsky.social•33 days ago

Or, you know, Biden and Harris could have opposed genocide

mbletst.bsky.social•33 days ago

the capital was moved to jerusalem in the 90s. senator biden co-sponsored the bill.

Those monsters

capeoian.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump removed sanctions on settlers and Stefanik just said Israel has a "biblical right" to the WB. So to answer your question: nothing good. Oh, and Trump said the Gaza ceasefire likely won't hold, doesn't seem to care, and talked about the nice weather and waterfront land. Gaza is gone too.

susanbeeha.bsky.social•33 days ago

It’s clear that Bibi (with Tяump and evangelical backing) will commit genocide and kill almost all the Palestinians. Kushner is salivating over the real estate in Gaza and the West Bank. The “lucky” Palestinians will get deported somewhere but I’m afraid most will be slaughtered.

wyrdandnerdy.bsky.social•33 days ago

Probably more genocide? I mean... at a guess.

Or should I call it "ethnic cleansing" now because of the Trump of it all?

liberalforareason.bsky.social•33 days ago

Unilateral annexation. Absolutely awful. Criminal in fact but so is Netanyahu’s twisted evil government.

Like he wasn’t discussing this whole operation at Mar A Lago a year ago…

oanjoobsoleto.bsky.social•33 days ago

Retaliation from settlers enraged by the ceasefire deal.

avishaybsg.bsky.social•33 days ago

Part of the coalition deal with Smotrich for him not to resign post ceasefire/hostage deal was to add West Bank security to the war goals allocating more military power to the area.

radinje.bsky.social•33 days ago

Those votes for Jill Stein at work.

raccoon-overlord.bsky.social•33 days ago

Do you know how the electoral college works?

giannivegasi.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes. It either doesn’t, or it works exactly as intended.

giannivegasi.bsky.social•33 days ago

Oops. I’ve been redundant. Again.

raccoon-overlord.bsky.social•33 days ago

You are the best kind of redundant

giannivegasi.bsky.social•33 days ago

Kind of a low bar, ain’t it? A clam could hop over it.

akirathelemur.bsky.social•33 days ago

That's going to be a no. If you vote super fucking hard, which I wager they did, no need to understand a goddamned thing about the process.

jikukeiseki.bsky.social•33 days ago

the Democrats said over and over they didn't need those votes, save the smoke for them

holidiver.bsky.social•33 days ago

Her votes wouldn’t have flipped a state, it was just that people stayed home.

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump's pick for UN Secretary, Elise Stefanik, confirms that she believes in Israel's biblical claim to the entire West Bank.

So there you have it . Smotrich will get his ethnic cleansing, all supported by the Trump administration.

Wonder how the muslims who voted for him 'because Kamala...' are.

shannonhey.bsky.social•33 days ago

So does Mike Huckabee, choice for Ambassador to the land some call Israel. He’s also a religious zealot (apocalyptically inclined) and an anti-education propagandist.

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•33 days ago

Agree. It's an utterly disastrous scenario which is going to cause chaos, hatred and sow the seeds of another war.

And as you point out the corrupt, rapture-driven brain-dead Christianists are all in favour of it.

ifight4them.bsky.social•33 days ago

Your Islamophobic post is pretty openly defaming a protected religious group. Seems reportable.

futureed.bsky.social•32 days ago

What’s a little racism on the internet?

Just a little treat for you

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oh, I see. Self-righteous muppet accuses me of racism for Stating The Fucking Obvious.

And everything I said would happen because of voting for Trump is now happening. They voted to ethnically cleanse all muslims from Gaza and the West Bank.

But hey. Your self-righteous little bubble is good. Eh?

futureed.bsky.social•28 days ago

Biden did this. Harris promised more of the same.

wyrdandnerdy.bsky.social•33 days ago

It really sucks that Talia Lavin, @swordsjew.bsky.social, is correct.

I mean-- it's not even remotely surprising, why else would I be reading her book if I wasn't already pretty convinced she's correct?

But anyway... still sucks.

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not seen that, thanks for the heads-up. It's the culmination of a 50-year plan though - started with getting Reagan onboard, he then started to pander to them and the nutters became part of the GOP base.

Working in tandem with Leonard Leo to take the courts, and there you have it...

wyrdandnerdy.bsky.social•33 days ago

Talia Lavin basically makes the case that, to the extent that is any one root at least to the American portion of this fascism problem, it can be traced back to the rise of Evangelicalism and any form of christianity and any christian group that relies on literal interpretation of the bible.

wyrdandnerdy.bsky.social•33 days ago

"Fascism is built from above and from below." -- is a line I heard in one of the many podcasts I listen to. I'm not sure who to attribute it too, but it is kind of obviously true at this point.

I don't need a citation, I've spent the last whatever-number of years watching it happen in real time

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•33 days ago

While those at the top aren't religious. They're grifters, like Trump: how many "celebrity preachers" go begging for private jets, or are caught abusing kids...

....only to be "forgiven" by their gullible flock because they "have repented".

You couldn't make this up. These people are morons.

wyrdandnerdy.bsky.social•33 days ago

re gullible flock
Actually most of them (IMHO) are both survivors of and perpetrators of emotional and physical abuse from a young age.

At least the ones that were raised in far right wing christian households.

There's even a whole market for paddles you can buy to spank your kid.

wyrdandnerdy.bsky.social•33 days ago

re 50 yrs: yes. And see also: the rise of neoliberalism. (I guess neoliberalism tried to be a variety of things. But the version of it that survived was just: privitization sold as a panacea to "fix" problems whose actual root cause was underfunding public sector stuff.

wyrdandnerdy.bsky.social•33 days ago

And yes also Leonard Leo and the Heritage Foundation and a million other little "think tanks" and groups aimed at... basically ending freedom.

I mean under their system, if you're a white dude who is really good at screwing over non-white dudes, then they reward you for that. But that's all.

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not sure how old you are, but I remember the start - in my country, 1979 and Thatcher set the blueprint for privatisation and trickle-down economics.

During the 80s it seemed to have worked - in general - if you ignored the post-industrial decline. But trickle-down only produced inequality.

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thing is, that didn't show till 2008 when the wealthy hoovered up distressed working class assets and drove prices out of reach of younger people.

The trick was they managed to blame "the left" who had to sort out the mess, and got people to vote for "more of the policies that screwed them"

jikukeiseki.bsky.social•33 days ago

you can just stop pretending to care about Muslims lol

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•33 days ago

No place here in the real world for self-important arsewipes like you, sunshine.

Now fuck off to blocked street.

mullhund.bsky.social•33 days ago

Says the guy blaming Muslims instead of, idk, the US govt, Democrats, Republicans, trump, Biden, etc. etc. idk. The guys doing the genocide. Projection is nuts lmao.

liberationnow.bsky.social•33 days ago

Shut the fuck up

penbird42.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump won because Harris never split with Netanyahu, yet the TV told viewers that Trump would somehow kill Muslim babies faster. The confusion on all sides, without a clear denouncement of genocide from either side, did it

also, Israelis just moved their #FinalSolution machine to the West Bank

mybits.bsky.social•32 days ago

Somebody should explain to the dingbat that the Bible is not international law!

robotsheed.bsky.social•33 days ago

respectfully, how many folks have you talked to that “voted for him ‘because Kamala?’”

has anyone actually said that to you?

do you care about your straw-man Muslims; do you want them to suffer?

#NotToBeRude

sonofkhorne.bsky.social•32 days ago

He doesn't care, he's just a gloating rightwing freak.

mullhund.bsky.social•33 days ago

Remind me again, which admin was it that was sending aid to Israel and who was it that signaled she wouldn't change policy? It's weird that you're blaming strawhat "Muslims" for something that would have continued no matter who was in office. Maybe find a better point?

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•28 days ago

Remind me again:

- Was it election year in the USA?
- How do you think that would have gone for the Dems if they had cut off all aid to Israel?

And for now:
- Do you think Harris would have gone along with ethnically cleansing Gaza, removing all Palestinians and annexing it?

You. Fucking. Moron.

mullhund.bsky.social•28 days ago

You aren't arguing from a place in reality. The genocide in Palestine has been aided and abetted by the US since Israel formed. Yes, actually. I do think Harris would have done that, given the fact she said she'd continue what the Biden admin was doing. Lying about it.

mullhund.bsky.social•28 days ago

They have been sending Israel money and pretending to have peace talks with no actual plan to do so. The only difference is Trump doesn't do the theatrics liberals do that makes them seem less bloodthirsty.

mullhund.bsky.social•28 days ago

Also for the record. The election would have gone great if they stopped sending money to Israel. Like 60+% of Americans wanted that. And then the Dems didn't do that. Kinda seems like they're the ones doing democracy bad.

aliceinkeynes.bsky.social•31 days ago

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•28 days ago

If that was aimed at me, I hope you are also 100% delighted at Trump's announcement that he's good with forcibly deporting all Palestinians from Gaza so Israel can annex it.

The problem with the "Hard Left" is that they don't live in the real world.

This is not utopia.

aliceinkeynes.bsky.social•28 days ago

"If that was aimed at me,"

It was not aimed at you.

mbletst.bsky.social•33 days ago

so did biden's, so

dylans1.bsky.social•32 days ago

American Arabs have watched as Biden sends arms to Israel as it slaughters their families for a year

and rearmed them after every atrocity

and you expect them to vote for him?

Its like demanding Jews vote for a former guard at Auschwitz

davidjacobsgib.bsky.social•28 days ago

I hate to say "I told you so" - but I told you so.

Now the Palestinians will be ethnically cleansed from Gaza.

Well done. I hope your self-righteousness is intact.

dylans1.bsky.social•28 days ago

Gosh you are right. I so wish Harris were in the WH cus then Israel wouldn't be doing any of this.

Biden showed us over the past year what it means to stand up to Israel and say no.

Oh wait...
