Right so they get a blank check to rape murder and kidnap anyone around got you. Including innocent bystanders or from other nations that have nothing to do with it or werent even born when your supposed start of the war in 1967....

Do you think the majority of Israel prisoners are random innocent people they locked up?

The measures it applies, combining elements of colonial administration and martial law, cover not only incidents involving recourse to violence but many other activities, non-violent protests, political and cultural statements and the way Palestinians are allowed to move or associate with each other.

Some of the problematic facets of the system Palestinian prisoners are subject to are, according to sociology professor Lisa Hajjar; prolonged detention of suspects incommunicado, impeding a client's access to his lawyer, the routine use of coercion under interrogation to obtain confessions and the introduction of "secret evidence".

According to Red Cross statistics, in the first two decades of the occupation, from 1967 to 1987, one in three Palestinians, about 500,000, were detained by Israeli forces, and on any given day the courts would be crammed with "children in handcuffs, women pleading with soldiers, anxious people thronging lawyers for information." After the Oslo Accords, courts in Palestinian towns were withdrawn to Area C, causing greater difficulty for lawyers and family of the defendant to get access to the tribunals because of the permit system.

For the decade from 2000 to 2009 it was estimated that at any one time anywhere between 600 and 1,000 Palestinians were subjected annually to administrative detention. Amnesty International stated that in 2017 Israeli authorities continue to adopt administrative detention rather than criminal prosecution to detain "hundreds of Palestinians, including children, civil society leaders and NGOworkers, without charge or trial under renewable orders, based on information withheld from detainees and their lawyers", and that administrative detainees numbered 441.

Amnesty International has stated that Israel has imprisoned Palestinians for prolonged periods, without charging them or putting them on trial. Israel has said that detention without trial is a necessary security measure used to avoid exposing confidential information in trials. The European Union has criticized the policy. Within the West Bank, any local army commander can issue an administrative detention order, and the order can be appealed at the local military court, or, if denied there, at the Supreme Court. However, the Supreme Court almost never intervenes.

2023 report by Save the Children found widespread use of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse against Palestinian children in Israeli military detention. The report found that among detained children, 86% were beaten, 69% were strip searched, 60% spent time in solitary confinement, 68% were denied any healthcare, and 58% were denied visits or communication with family.

0.9999999~ is just the value that represents "the highest amount possible without being one. As close as you can get to a whole without being a whole." That's the best Arabic numerals in base 10 can come to representing that amount. That doesn't mean the value is the same as 1.

But this thought experiment DOES expose a minor flaw in our numbering system.

I agree, it has. But its obvious biden still hasn't done enough in your eyes so I'm asking what you do as a protest voter if trump wins.

I want to know what you guys plan on doing if trump wins the presidency.

If you can give me a reasonable answer then I'll gladly join your protesting the vote.

If not then stop gambling with other peoples lives for your worthless virtue signal.

Blaming Biden and democrats isn't going to help people or give them any solace in 2025 when trump takes power.

It's not like it's October and there's no room for the government to even pivot before the election. The 2024 primary season isn't even over. Nor is the situation a zero sum game between choosing to support Israel or appeasing the people who think Israel is engaging in atrocities.

Ok but what is the solution if trump wins and actually makes the situation orders of magnitude worse as he says he will?

Eh, It'd argue bayonetta was much more about female empowerment what with how confident kamiya made her out to be and in-control/overpowering she was compared to whoever she was up against.

obviously biden doesn't have to support israel to the degree he does, but people acting like he is committing a genocide are just ignorant of how global politics works or has ever worked.

we have a binary choice between the guy that supports israel to the same degree every president has for 40 years or the guy that publicly wants to blow up gaza, has fomented an insurrection, and is a consensus bottom 3 president of all time who is promising to be worse the second time around.

trying to frame bidens foreign policy as especially egregious or outside the norm of all presidents in modern history is purposefully dishonest and reeks of the russian/fat right agenda of spreading apathy.

israel committing war crimes in gaza is not dependent on biden and the alternative is orders of magnitude worse. constant cries about biden ring hollow at this point, especially when the 'criticism' doesn't offer solutions

When he came to the presidency, Reagan was seen as influenced by the Israeli narrative of the conflict.

Settlement construction accelerated as the number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank increased by 70 percent over the first two years of Reagan's presidency.

Your post is claiming Biden is the only guy turning a blind eye to Israel's bullshit, when that's not true at all. Jimmy Carter was probably the last President to tell them to stop.

reagan was at the very beginning of the 'moral majority' type evangelicals who have given israel much more power in lobbying and generally among american consciousness. there is no comparison to the attitudes of americans in the 80's to now. the fact that even the majority of progressives in the federal government generally support israel should tell you about the current reality.

we don't have to always blindly support israel, and this conflict may be the start of the american public turning against that blind loyalty, but we are still a long way from that and no candidate in '24 that comes out against supporting israel in any public fashion will win a general election.

That's not true at all. Israel has been leveling high rises in Gaza for decades.

every single united states president in recent history has supported israel and every single major candidate supported them as recently as the last presidential election.

A bit early, aren't ya?

These particular group of individuals never liked Biden, didnt vote for him in 2020 and were never gonna vote for him in 2024. Even if Biden immediately did everything they wanted when it came to the Gaza crisis, they would just move the goalposts and start shrieking about the next thing theyre outraged at about him. The Biden campaign knows this, and that is why they are not paying any attention to them.

Oh no, these people who never vote to begin with are going to not vote even harder this time around.

That's something I've liked about Biden. Enough of a sense of humor to take an online joke and run with it. Trump would've had a 20 tweet rant against it.

However, hours after Biden's Friday statement, the Washington Post reported that his government had signed off on additional bombs and warplanes for Israel in recent days worth billions of dollars.

Stop giving right wingers ammo to propagandize.

Yeah it's great, although I've never finished it. I went as Rigby to ComicCon and got so much attention.
