Terrorist attacks are not an excuse for genocideHard to quantify when we may not be getting the full numbers. Remember that attack on Palestine in 2021?
Compare the casualties on both sides then, and how many are civilians and children
Lawyers representing South Africa on Thursday said that Israeli soldiers interpreted a biblical reference made by Benjamin Netanyahu during a November speech to troops as a justification to kill Palestinians. The claim, which specifically called out Netanyahus invocation of Amalek as well as footage showing IDF soldiers chanting wipe off the seed of Amalek, was made during the first day of public hearings at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, where South Africa formally accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.
This refers to the biblical command by God to Saul for the retaliatory destruction of an entire group of people, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, a member of South Africas legal team, said, Al Jazeera reports.
Hundreds of schools, including those run by the UN, in the besieged Palestinian enclave have been bombed, and students and teachers killed, in more than 100 days of Israeli bombardment that has ravaged educational infrastructure and caused mental trauma to thousands of beleaguered students.
Ninety percent of Palestinian Authority schools have been subject to direct or indirect damage. About 29 percent of school buildings are out of service after being demolished or severely damaged.
Israa University, located in the south of Gaza city, was demolished by Israeli forces, as evident from a video released by Israeli media on January 17. The university authorities said Israel occupied and used the campus as a military base and detention facility for months before destroying it.
This is the most blatant hit job by a Special Counsel I've ever seen.I didn't eat it up at all. I said there were much better candidates than biden, even setting aside the alleged dementia. You people have a bad habit of lying about me and you've been doing it for years. It's no wonder I would get moderated with the horrific picture you'd paint of me. Stop with the character assassination, it's disgusting.
Hur couldn't find any actual wrongdoing by Biden in regards to the issue he was actually supposed to investigate, and instead, gave a completely unwarranted, unrelated, and unqualified evaluation of Biden's mental capacities, and based it entirely on 4 fucking instances in 15 hours of interviews.
And naturally, totally progressives like toothy and jocrazy are fucking eating it up.
You get modded for the things that you say.Given an incorrect context created by people like you.
It's weird how so many people have come to the same conclusionNot hard when I've pissed people off by destroying their arguments. I see you're still denying genocide, by the way.
Not hard when I've pissed people off by destroying their arguments. I see you're still denying genocide, by the way.It's pretty apparent it's just been one person pissed off and I'm still waiting on a detailed, verified news article that supports its genocide and not simply part of the decades long conflict.
No, mods get you based on your posts. They dont care what I have to say. They dont care much for me at all.They look at the posts (which have been mass marked by people like you) and then to get context they'll look at the topic and see people I'm arguing with throwing heavy accusations and lies about me over and over and over again. Given the workload they have to deal with because of mass markers like you, I can see why they'd rely on whatever context they see localized there.

at best we're repeating Iraq, at worst we're complicit in a genocide
Obviously voting Trump does not improve this, but the point is that Biden should not support this any further than he has (or should step down entirely in favor of a primary) because otherwise Biden is going to lose Michigan since its Islamic population will flatly refuse to vote at all, giving us Trump anyway, and it would be completely absurd for Democratic operatives to lecture Muslims on how "it's complicated" and yet still expect anything resembling political support.
Weird how you just outright ignored post 356So I am caught up and while I still disagree with the actions of the Israeli government, Biden has been and continues to be vocal about it
The White Flag of Surrender has been waved. When you finally end up here...you've lost.Thanks for admitting defeat.
They read your posts and go oh thats disinformation and trolling and then mod you for posting disinformation and trolling. Having paranoid meltdowns about it doesnt change that. Go join Tails.Look at you building that bullshit context just like I said you do. Thanks for proving my point.

If the biggest Biden defender in this topic also has to deny/downplay genocide, you know it's fuckedSome save a screenshot of this in case Biden wins those two states.
Biden for sure loses Michigan and Georgia. it's over
If the biggest Biden defender in this topic also has to deny/downplay genocide, you know it's fuckedI'm sure Trump will be much less sympathetic towards Israel and definitely won't embolden the GOP to enact mass deportations, a national abortion ban, and the total annihilation of LGBTQ Americans

Something tells me if Biden was attacking trans people, you wouldn't be trying to shut down criticism of him with "but the other guy".

It's almost like context matters. If you were comparing Biden to a viable democratic candidate with a better approach to Palestine that's fair. But that's never your M.O.Bernie is better on this issue, but democrats fought harder to stop Bernie (twice) than they ever fought against Trump.
You just openly shit on Biden for shit his actual opponent is by far worse on, and literally never give Biden credit for the stuff he is doing great on.

The reason we're so critical of Biden is because we want the party that we volunteered for and voted for to be better. We see the writing on the wall. It's frustrating when all that people have to say is "duh trump is worse." As though it was that simple.
Obviously Trump is worse than Biden. Obviously he'll be more pro-Israel, worse for the environment, worse for women, poor people etc, etc.
I acknowledge that some Biden critics are Trumpers in disguise. Not me, and not other left of centers. We are not celebrating Biden being a bad candidate.

This is my issue, ftr. I've been very annoyed that I can post actual objective inarguable proof of how bad Biden is polling versus Trump and it gets handwaved with 'but 2022' as if no pollsters anywhere got it right.
This is my issue, ftr. I've been very annoyed that I can post actual objective inarguable proof of how bad Biden is polling versus Trump and it gets handwaved with 'but 2022' as if no pollsters anywhere got it right. There is a major component of Dems right now that are not accepting things for how they are. Does this mean Trump wins by default? No, Biden's numbers could improve, Trump could get convicted, whatever. But I think there is this vast overconfidence that data doesn't support.The polling is questionable though (not saying the ones you've shared in the past) because they often do not account for younger generations and are often still landlines or something along that.
Biden's age is a part of this and his handling of Gaza is another that hurts him specifically with younger voters who will simply abstain and the trend towards lecturing people on how Trump will obviously be worse misses the point when we're months and months out from the convention proper.
I guess what I'm getting at is comments like "Biden is commiting genocide" only serves to benefit Trump and the MAGAs because it's hyperbolic.That's precisely why these comments are being made that way.
You aren't telling us s*** we don't already know. But when people use it as an excuse, it's just so nakedly stupid. Oh you care so much about the genocide in Gaza that you're cool enabling a domestic one of LGBT people.
No, I don't necessarily agree with the action of the Biden administration here but it's another thing to claim it's a genocide which would be indiscriminate killing based on ethnicity, creed etc.Plus everyone forgets the simple fact that Trump would be doing the exact same thing, but most likely in a worse and far more embarrassing way.
Alternatively, if the administration did nothing I would suspect the same people would complain that Biden is allowing genocide to happen.
Seems to be a dammed if you do dammed if you don't situation.
but that doesn't mean it's fine that the Democratic President did it too.
If you have to ignore genocide for the survival of people at home, the country's already lost.
