Hamas don’t have the power to stop the genocide, surrender or not.

This isn’t a war between the IOF and Hamas. It’s a systematic campaign to demolish every building in Gaza and kill or drive away every Gazan.

I don’t know if you’re ignorant and spreading misinformation or a zionist intentionally spreading disinformation talking points, but either way 'but Hamas!" is not a valid excuse for tolerating genocide.

Btw, that whole Human Shields thing? Turns out that’s IOF projection. they’ve Been doing it for over half a century. It’s part of their standard procedure.

Given that their distractions have increasingly become as destructive if not even moreso than the thing they’re distracting from, it’s possible.

More likely that’s it’s just culture war bombast designed to reinforce the whole “everyone except us are evil and dangerous” groupthink that they’re using for cohesion, though, IMO.

Deal.

Or a Superfund site. Maybe a tactical ethanol reserve.

It’s all a matter of semantics

No.

Israel is killing civilians

Yes.

whether they are just not caring about civilians as they pursue Hamas, or if they are intentionally targeting civilians we may never truely know.

Wrong again. You don’t routinely shoot children in the head or use the testicles of other children for target practice if you’re not intentionally targeting civilians.

Is this ethnic cleansing

Yes.

that depends on how you define genocide

There’s an actual official definition of Genocide:

any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

• • (a) Killing members of the group;
  • (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  • © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  • (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  • (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2[9]

Israel being guilty of ONE of those things would be enough to make it a genocide and they’re guilty of ALL of them. There’s no room for good faith denial. None.

Of course it is genocide, I must say, or I’ll get a ban

Probably just going to get a lot of downvotes or at worst have your hasbara bullshit renoved. Unless you get personal with anyone in a nasty way, you’re unlikely to face bans outside of the tankie instances

because of the wonderful free speech on this platform.

Free speech doesn’t mean speech free from consequences. You’re free to fuck around and equally free to find out.

Yet another method for making sure that NO aid gets to their victims 🤬

Russophobia would be discrimination or suspicion for everyone who happens to be Russian.

There’s genuinely a lot of blatant examples of that going around in recent years, but reporting on the disinformation campaigns of the fascist Russian government is not it.

Also, “empire fearmongering” is such a weird tankie phrase, implying either that Putin et al have no ambitions of geopolitical dominance, or that countries dominating other countries is ever a good thing. Ridiculous either way.

be the anti-Bernie. Run for POTUS in the primary. Energize basically the entire youth of the nation. Then lose and immediately endorse the winner while leveraging her influence to get important action items on the ticket

How the fuck would doing EXACTLY what Bernie did make her “the anti-bernie”?

Could be unbaked Subway dough fashioned into a flatter bread cake 🤷

SCOTUS can’t just make up laws.

Mine just assumes that I’m working out.

A couple years ago when I was in awful shape and arguing with family on a hot day, my pulse and perspiration was such that my watch thought I had gone for a swim 😄

And Sam was in Birmingham at the time! That’s not even CLOSE to the Mediterranean, or indeed any sea!

That’s how pissed off he was.

If it’s Subway bread, which is cake, then yes.

We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue

This coming from Sinclair is the fucking height of hypocrisy and just plain lying.

need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks."

Says the conglomerate de jure owning 39% of all local tv stations in the country and de facto controlling at least double that by exploiting a loophole in antitrust regulations.

Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.

Trying to bully and blackmail him into lying for and paying money to their fascist overlords. Sinclair is a fucking cancer.

This will be shot down a million times in court

Before getting to SCOTUS who will likely carve out an exception to their wedding cake precedent to serve their fascist masters.

Exactly the opposite of what these fascist hypocrites said when a bigot refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple.

This Sartre quote applies here:

Never believe that anti-Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Or, you know, however long humanity has left?

Tbf, the whole thing WOULD be much funnier (and less embarrassing) with Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles playing the parts of the two doddering billionaire idiots and Aisha Tyler moderating 🤷

First things first: this should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Japanese politics. It’s been a far right genocide denying shit show for roughly ever.

Secondly, “finalizing plans not to recognize Palestine for the time being” sounds like the epitome of bureaucratic time wasting 😄

“Can’t talk, too busy! I’m hard at work planning for not doing a thing right now!”

Sorry 😁

Here’s some Bob Vylan to chase it out!
