what is your point? biden had a report he could have justified ending shipments with last year and canned it and the staff who wrote it.
it takes 9 years to protest against something the person you voted for is ideologically opposed to

hamas offered to disarm, release their hostages and allow a coalition of nearby states to form oversee a new democratic palestinian state and israel rejected this because it wants to ethnically cleanse and annex gaza
hope this clears up your confusion

more palestinians have been murdered and tortured in israeli custody than hamas. israel illegally detains, tortures and kills at a scale hamas never can. and theyve been doing it for way longer.

this is a good example of 'politics of self expression': strawmanning an argument you dont understand or support with no context
im not sure what the 'ban cars' platform is, but it usually starts with a discussion of funding for public transit projects or banning the sale/driving of specific cars

host a white supremacist and entertain the same xenophobia being used to support mass deportations and all it takes this person is to jingle some keys in front of a liberal to woo them

hamas already offered to disarm, release hostages and form a democratic state with a transitional government oversaw by neighboring countries in exchange for ceasefire
israel rejected this. it wants to annex gaza and remove all palestinians
your freakish islamophobia has turned your brain to worms

if charges are brought the police will probably blame the horse. just getting ahead of the argument...

its not violence. its money. paying someone to clean up vandalism doesn't permanently injure, scar or mentally harm that person. its a red number in an accounting book.
speaking of vandalism and firing anti-riot munitions...

theres international laws outlawing this if the moral implication wasnt obvious. try a little less hard to be a violent freak

Hamas has no control over Israel releasing ten thousand Palestinian hostages or the food Israel detains and does not allow through

bluesky deletes the accounts of palestinians literally enduring holocaust but leaves literal nazi accounts like this one up to strut over their suffering. this site is fucking trash

sounds like made up excuses hitler would give against resistance groups to justify genocide, which is also kinda weird that you're doing that

what you describe as ignoring is the average working person's capacity to spend their free time traumatizing themselves with educating on every single ongoing human atrocity
israel-palestine's history and the misinfo within mainstream historiography is absolutely exhausting...

this is a very consistent editorial decision from NYT to present any form of progressive or leftist coalition as unviable in even the most positive of news updates
i highly recommend no one read it

yeah remember when the ussr dissolved? everyone in russia including its satellite states died and arent currently living right where they are right now
comment in response to

are you trying to imply what you perceive as leftists arent protesting the current admin over gaza? because theyve been happening almost daily across the country from day 1 of trump's presidency. and also before, because trump didn't change much of biden's israel policy

i think dismissing this as just religion is dangerous. the principle argument of the israeli project is that it is contiguous with historical regional judaism and there is no evidence of this
comment in response to
post
judaism existed for thousands of years, all of it peacefully. the weapon and shield here isnt judaism, its zionism. zionism isnt a religion, its a political movement tracing back to the late 1800s

an american gay man was murdered after being shown his dead dug up pets and you're still trying to figure out if bombing everyone including gay people will fix the culture

that his speech has been the same for 50 years is kinda the point. he appears aloof and unaware of the accelerating fascism in mainstream politics.
he might be genuine but ultimately we're nitpicking -why- he isnt reading the room

hamas has offered to disarm and transition gaza to a multinational coalition governed by surrounding nations until a new democratic government could be elected.
israel rejected this offer because it wants to remove palestinians and resettle gaza
now if you dont mind, hasbara bot
comment in response to
post
the only leverage hamas has in gaza against complete extermination of every palestinian living there are the hostages that in theory israel cares enough about not to outright obliterate all life.
showing israel its ass would be neat but the hostages are kinda small compared to a genocide
comment in response to
post
hamas abducted a few hundred israeli's to bargain a trade for ~5,000 illegally detained palestinians
the humanity and plight of those prisoners was and still is valid before and after oct 7th. if innocent israeli's dont deserve to suffer for israel's crimes, neither do palestinians of hamas'

im equally confident if an order was ever given to 'stop' a protest by firing into the crowd, theyd be so excited to finally get to shoot their toys at people
comment in response to
post
food drops would mean more places the IDF has to be, more places palestinians can reach. itd probably be looted rather than distributed but that would still objectively save lives and reduce suffering
so seems like a great idea to me

the palestinian detainees were in israel on october 6th

sounds like you just answered your own question. zionist is a term to differentiate the belief that a plot of land should be inhabited and governed by jews from all jews broadly, because this is obviously a belief not inherent to judaism.

raskin has only demanded the release of israeli hostages and not palestinians, and this disparity in empathy, despite being mainstream for us progressives, has highly ingrained islamophobia-- which is why for genocidaires say it too

link me a source and i'll happily delete my comments.
hes an *american* progressive and for some reason that is a high bar to you whereas for me its the bare minimum. i would suggest being a bit more curious and not accepting performance as policy
comment in response to
post
but he hasnt said anything of them. is his position different than fascistic zionists who also use hostages as a political tool? ball is in raskin's court to clarify this. maybe the answer is in the taco
fyi this is an issue even with the most 'progressive' of politicians; aoc, bernie in particular

the taco joke was funny for 1 day and resist libs have milked any ounce of humor from it
comment in response to
post
israel has thousands of palestinians under detention in violation of international laws who are subject to far worse treatment than israeli hostages
if you're only advocating for israeli hostage release it gives an intense vibe that you view israeli's as more human than palestinians

i try not to assign ppl the responsibility to condemn everything that ever happens
but im floored by the crickets from elected officials after a particularly cruel hatemurder of a gay man on the 1st day of pride
it makes the antisemitism condemnations during jewish heritage month look performative
comment in response to
post
hamas officially advocates for a single state with equal democratic representation for everyone in israel/palestine. if you dont believe hamas, which is fine, then reassign that position to your favorite palestinian movement of choice, because that argument has been on the table since 1948
comment in response to
post
your argument is justifying mass murder of israeli's in retaliation for genocide and that is an unhinged and psychopathic take.
