The thing about the "Israel wants Trump" argumemt is that I think what wants even more than is to not have a be seen to lose reelection for supporting Israel.

And I don't say that as some kind of checkmate, just a consideration I haven't seen brought up before.

"BUT IF CORNEL WEST GETS ON THE BALLOT, THEN MIGHT WIN!!!"

Yup, that's the threat, numbnuts. Better get the Dems to do something about then, huh?

I'm so fed up with mods falling for the "holocaust inversion" bullshit, I'm going to start reporting all apologist posts as "supporting violent ideologies."

Keeping up with and commenting on news 24/7 doesn't make you an informed citizen, much less an activist. It makes you a partisan hack who refuses to acknowledge the humanity of people who are already being killed by American . Turn off the Rachel Maddow and start reading some al jazeera.

Remember that and have given us several kabuki plays about their "disagreements" and "red lines" since the began. This deal could be just another one of those. Don't trust anything they say or do. Keep your eyes on Gaza.

@pinkdrunkenelephants @GM7077 @israel @palestine @figstick I think he'd rather that everyone who would vote for Biden didn't vote at all. This is a way to be MAGA without overtly being MAGA.

immibis ,

@pinkdrunkenelephants @GM7077 @israel @palestine @figstick The American people so have a choice btw: 2 genocides or 4. It would be silly to blame them for the 2 they have no choice not to vote for. It would be completely alright to blame them for the other 2, if the election decides they should occur. And it would be downright evil to suggest that voting for 4 by default is better than voting for 2 by active action.

It's probably best not to trust any Israeli voices on the state of things in or . Even this Israeli "scholar," who admits that Israelis are almost unanimously pro-genocide, is pushing the "sexual violence" lie about Oct. 7.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @figstick @histodons @academicchatter @academiccommunity @academicsunite @israel @palestine they probably copied all the phones of all the students they arrested as well.

My brother was arrested almost 10 years ago now and the Salem New Hampshire police applied for a search warrant for his phone, but they didn’t wait for it they went through it first. They did obtain the search warrant, but he filed a lawsuit because they went through the phone first. He was a financial advisor And he was concerned that they were able to get into his Fidelity stuff and see communications with clients.

They ended up paying him $30,000. They were really mad about it he thought they were gang stalking him after.

Learning that police are often sent to Israel for training closes the circuit on this horror show. I’d take every cop trained that way and send them to a cult deprogrammer.

@figstick @israel @palestine They aren't wrong with their accusation. They are brave to resign & have their accusation of Biden exploiting Jewish folks/identities for political crap gains be public. Many US govt staff & many US military personnel are still too scared to speak up & take a stand against horrific US foreign policies assisted genocide & starvation of Palestinians war crimes complicity.

The president of College lost a faculty-wide vote of no confidence on Tuesday, as criticism mounts over the school’s response to a pro- 🇵🇸 encampment

It is the first no confidence vote against a president in the college’s history.
