I wish it wasn't so tragic, so I could laugh at people who couldn't vote for Harris because Biden didn't single-handedly stop the genocide.
The great majority of those people aren't on here talking about it anymore.
Well, the Russian trolls aren't needed anymore now that Trump won.
Doesn't seem they are entirely gone.
There's always some real humans duped by the bots and at this point they have 2 choices: accept they were duped or go all in.
We are just left with the useful idiots that unfortunately bought into it.
I didn't expect Biden to stop the genocide.
I expected him to try.
Today they were kinda proved right, though. After having imposed another deadline on Israel and that deadline having again expired they again won’t stop sending arms to Israel. Even when this is the last fucking chance before Trump is taking over. You can’t just ignore this shit.
Face palm. It's fucking tragic what is about to escalate for the Palestinians. I hope all the people that blathered on with nonsense about "Genocide Joe" are able to do some self-reflection.
FFS.
Surprising no one they all vanished back into nothing.
Like the "swift boat veterans for truth"
I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you.
Who could have guessed Trump would appoint somebody who doesn't recognize the victims of genocide as real people? It's not like Trump called pro-Palestinians protestor "pro-Hamas thugs" and "jihad sympathizers" or said "I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast" or called attempts by Biden to negotiate a cease fire an attempt to "tie Israel's hand behind its back".
How could anybody have known? By looking at how he handled conflicts in the area during his first administration? What are we? A nation of nerds that try to make educated decisions about our political leaders?
/s
What real difference does this make though? I honestly don't see what actually is going to change in Gaza. Yes, Biden isn't overtly racist against Palestinians, but he doesn't consider them human beings either. He's given Israel a complete blank check to do whatever they want. And I expect that to continue unchanged under Trump. As a practical matter, I really don't see what Trump can do that Biden already hasn't. Trump will just be a lot ruder about it.
The whole world is about to take an L because of us
All people's nationalities are made up.
Just like all nation state borders.
Just like all religions.
Hell, someone pulled your vaunted, family crest owning last name directly out of their asshole at some point in your ancestry. It's all just ego stroking bullshit.
The problem, as always, is that people take these made up bullshit designations seriously, to the point of mass murder.
We are all actually the same species, capable of similar highs and lows of emotion, of pain, of hunger.
Too bad most everyone refuses to start and end with that, because if we're all equally deserving of empathy and resources, how can I get mooooooaaaaar than those other people I'm clearly better than? Because my Parents, President, and Priests said I deserve more than those bad people that live in the wrong place and suck the wrong imaginary friend's imaginary dick.
Am Canadian.
Canada didn’t exist a few hundred years ago.
Are we made up people too?
Yes?
Genuine question: To all the Democrats who chose not to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Palestinian issue, what's your thought process?
"See, it's not genocide, because they aren't actually people."
thanks for not voting. that was really smart
Mike lookin a lot older since I last saw him, hope he dies soon 🤲
It's weird that he's still even a thing in politics. He's recently just been running some irrelevant conservatism for kids grift. Why would he even be on the list of people to elevate?
That should make things better for the Palestinians.
Mike fucking Huckabee... The next four years going to be a remake of American Psycho 2, live on stage.
Sad to see this guy come out of irrelevance. Go back to slinging bogus sleeping pills to suckers
I’ve already commented but sorry I got to say
“The first ever mention of an ancient land called Israel was by an Egyptian Pharaoh, Merneptah, 3429 years ago,” reads a meme that has made the rounds on Facebook. “The first ever mention of an ancient land called Palestine was by an Egyptian opportunist, Yasser Arafat, 57 years ago.”
Literally the Do you have a flag argument.
Doubly insane when the first mention of what's thought to be the Palestinians was by Ramesses III, 3199 years ago.
It's as if "first" has become a legitimate argument for existence
The entire United States has some problems if "was there thousands of years ago" indicates who should be allowed to control and oppress people now.
