throughout history this has been called genocide. trump calls it site preparation.
Im starting to think this brazen activity is all because the powers that be, are trying to goad the public into a reaction that will justify their permanent seizure of power, martial law
How is that they always write in Hebrew when asking for war crimes?
It's all about intended audience. When it's in English it's toned down and meant for the rest of the world, when it's in Hebrew it's meant for Israelis and tends to be more mask off.
makes the genocide much more fun

We guillotined people for saying less than that
I've verified this to be real. The Knesset webpage links to the Twitter profile, where the post from the screenshot currently appears are the 2nd from the top.
Honestly appreciate folks in the comments verifying screenshots of social posts are real.
If someone broke into your home and destroyed all the food, and blockaded you from leaving or anything from getting in, wouldn't it be obvious they were trying to kill you?
So how could this not be an intentional act of genocide? And now we have Trump they will be cheered on if anything
And now we have Trump they will be cheered on if anything
They were cheered on before Trump too
I think the recent lesson the democrats have had about "hard tone" probably would've come in handy on Israel negotiations too. Rather than being a fan of murdering kids, I'm guessing Biden very much took a standpoint of "not wanting to upset too many people" when asking them not to bomb hospitals.
For one cause or another, the democratic party needs to find its righteous anger. It needs to risk more possibilities of people shouting back "Hey, you can't say that!"
No, this narrative about the Democrats being smol beans who didn't support Israel but are just too gosh darn shy to stop sending them $10,000,000,000s in weapons, deploying Navy carrier groups off the coast, bombing Israel's enemies, blocking every attempt by the international community to intervene, or repeating and amplifying debunked Israeli propaganda, is just white washing. The Biden administration was run by hard core Zionist true believers, including Biden himself.
They were (lightly) publicly criticised and privately supported, but yeah, point taken
and privately supported
we openly sent over thousands of MK84 2,000lb bombs that have used to kill thousands of civilians. not really private to be honest
hell, right after Oct 7 Biden personally made the trip over to Israel to bend the knee on live TV
Yeah I know. "Privately" should probably have been "quietly." Of course you may say it wasn't quiet, sure, but I think the meaning is clear. Telling them off with the right hand while the left is busy dropping more weapons into their lap. Just enough deniability for anyone who insists the democrats do nothing wrong.
yeah well said. and while there probably isn't much of a difference to the people getting rained on with bullets and bombs... i think there is a fundamental ideological difference between at least pretending like you care.
we've reached the point where the executive is so powerful he doesn't feel the nice to put the mask on. it's a blatant and almost ostentatious use of power.
i think one thing he said in the 2016 election cycle was so spot on.
“I have the most loyal people – did you ever see that?” “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” “It’s, like, incredible.”
Trump says and does ridiculous things (did you see that Gaza AI video?) that have no coherence because he understands his power lies in the chaos. one day he says one thing, one day he says another. ukraine and US will make a good deal one day, zelensky's a dictator the next day, zelensky's a good leader one day, and then zelensky's disrespectful the next, etc etc
it's sort of like when Stalin would go through one of his purges. He would have a long list of names on a paper and he would look through him. Every once in a while, for no apparent reason, he would cross a name off the list. He was reminding everyone that his power was absolute and he could arbitrarily choose to end you or spare you.
Trump is toying with this same type of arbitrarily derived chaos but instead of it being occasional he seems to be embracing it as his source of power. everyone (both his opposers and his appeasers like rubio) get their nerves frayed. you don't know what's coming next. who is next on the chopping block. the truth is slowly dissolving until it's meaningless

remember when ukraine was the priority and we at least limited the size of ordnance that could be sold to isreal and we at least talked with them about stopping. good times.
"Careful not to hit those Russian oil refineries Zelensky! You might win the war if you do that."
