This is what happens when people from the other side of the world stick their nose where it doesn’t belong.

Iraq war moment.

Cough cough will no one rid me of this turbulent bitch?

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about? The fucking satellite imagery showing half the strip being reduced to rubble isn’t made up.

Over the last 40-50 years, pro-Palestinian news bytes have shown one thing: the Palestine cause is great at marketing, especially to youn people.

Absolutely not. Palestinians and pro-Palestinians are absolutely terrible at marketing. There’s a reason that with few exceptions the only places where Zionism didn’t find purchase were the ones where people were reading about the Nakba in the daily newspaper and it took a livestreamed genocide for anti-Zionism to become something resembling mainstream elsewhere.

it simply shows the complexity of the conflict

Nothing is complex about this.

And why is every democratic presidential nominee like this?

Money.

Hurwitz also claimed that Holocaust education was “confusing” young people into sympathizing with “weak, skinny Palestinians” instead of “powerful Israelis.”

What. The. Fuck.

Maybe they’d consider it if you stopped fucking ruining their country.

Trump got increased support from literally every minority group in 2024, but I doubt Ilhan Omar supports him.

That sounds nice, let’s do that.

The thing is that Germany was a land empire; to expand they had to piss off and/or invade their powerful neighbors. America can do whatever the heck it wants and as long as they don’t do something dumb like attack China they’ll be left mostly to their own devices. Hell, I’d bet good money that the EU won’t lift a finger if they annex Greenland. We’re looking at more of a Franco or Sukharto situation.

Ah, yes, everyone knows reading comprehension is actually Russian propaganda.

We don’t fucking CARE! GOOD! Prosecute the criminals! It doesn’t matter what side they’re on politically!

You don’t care, but the people in power do. That’s the point I was making.

Yes, both sides are in fact bad but that’s not really the point I’m making here. Please work on your reading comprehension.

That’s not my point. If Democrats seriously attack Trump on this, he’ll hit back by attacking them for supporting Obama, and establishment Democrats won’t throw their man under the bus. Ergo, nothing will happen. Screw Obama, but that’s not the argument I’m making here.

Edit: Aaand there it is.

That’s not how the US establishment rolls. Both sides will protect their man and that will be it.

Even before the USA was kaput, double tapping became typical US strategy under the Obama administration, which makes me even more confident that nobody will face any consequences for this. To try Trump they’d have to try Obama.

It sounds nice, but I think this is a wash.

That is really not how that works. Reformers are nice, but it’s usually more militant leftists who actually get things done through direct action.

Why is Scandinavia’s ball sack demilitarized?

the Republicans who are presently in charge also didn’t get rid of the filibuster to end the shutdown like Trump asked them to.

Yes, because the Democrats folded.
