  • This is a misunderstanding of how modern Israel got to its current state.

    There were Jews in Palestine before the state of Israel was established.

    The issue isn’t some ancient conflict, it’s that without working with the natives of the region, the British government and UN unilaterally declared that they were making a colonialist ethnostate and took land from the native population for that purpose.

    This isn’t some biblical tale as old as time. The region was (relatively) peaceful.

    It’s very similar the gigantic fuck up of the India Pakistan split based on religion.

    As it turns out, religious ethnostates established by the displacement of natives creates a huge cluster fuck.

    And even with all that, things are as bad as they are today because over the last 3 decades Israel has used every conflict as a tool to militarize and isolate Palestinians.

    Palestinians aren’t blameless, but they’ve been blamed enough for the problems of Israel. Much like the IRA’s bombings were uncalled for, that doesn’t mean Britain wasn’t to blame for a lot of the problems of Ireland.



  • Tell me what Biden or Kamala would have done different? Remember all the red lines that functionally did nothing to US policy?

    It was under biden that, we estimate because we can’t know, that ~500,000 gazans died. It was under biden that we continued to send bombs to israel even as Israel pushed the entire population into a concentration camp next to egypt.

    Gaza was already under a dictator. Way to go Biden and Kamala, instead of giving a single fuck about your electorate loudly told you, you sucked the teet of pro-israel donors and it lost the election.
