Yes. But it is objective reality.

And the rest of the world would be doing the Palestinians an enormous favor of they told them that in no uncertain terms.

It matters because Palestinians have zero leverage. Their choice is either make peace and build a future, or keep fighting a losing battle, and ensure that their children never have a chance.

Israel can wait.

Israel is thriving.

It IS fucked up. It’s also true.

Palestinian refugees have been involved in political violence or rebellion many places, and that’s why you don’t see them opening their doors anymore. Here’s a couple:

Jordan:

• In 1970, during a period known as Black September, King Hussein of Jordan moved to suppress the autonomy of Palestinian organizations, particularly the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), in an effort to restore his monarchy’s rule over the country. This led to armed conflict which lasted until July 1971, resulting in the expulsion of the PLO and thousands of Palestinian fighters to Lebanon. The violence during this period resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people, the vast majority of whom were Palestinians ➊.

Lebanon:

• After being expelled from Jordan, the PLO resettled in Lebanon and began to extend de facto autonomous rule from there, staging raids into Israel. The presence and activities of the PLO were major factors for the sectarian destabilization of Lebanon, contributing to the eruption of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975. This continued with various conflicts and Israeli interventions in Lebanon until the PLO agreed to withdraw in 1982 following an Israeli invasion ➋.

You’re talking about ancient prejudices against an ethnic group.

I’m talking about judgements arrived at about this specific population after these EXACT PEOPLE caused massive, violent, civil unrest in countries populated by other Muslims/Arabs.

The only war crimes I’ve seen evidence for are those of Hamas.

Plenty of independent reporting on this. It hasn’t been confirmed, but it definitely hasn’t been debunked either.

You’re making excuses for Hamas. This is their war. They hide among their own women and children to use them as human shields.

You’re the one making excuses for inhuman monsters.

Did they? I saw a video of an explosion NEAR the border, not hitting the crowd. Is that what you’re talking about?

There’s for sure going to be a lot of collateral damage. Hamas uses their own people as human shields.

That’s 100 percent on Hamas and on the Palestinian people who allow it.

The silver lining here is that because the Republican supreme Court so vastly overplayed their hand here, they might inadvertantly have saved the nation from a fascist takeover.

Hear me out:

Joe Biden was previously doomed to be a 1-term president. The last election was an anti-Trump referendum, and it was a squeaker! Very little abundant base was actually excited be voting for Biden.

Heading into the next election we were ALWAYS going to have a mediocre Biden presidency, where none of our major crisis was solved, because Biden never aimed that high to begin with. It was never going to be enough to excite the base on the left.

And worse, with Republicans controlling the House, the second half of Biden’s term was doomed to be a do-little presidency. Going into the election we were going to be asked to vote for a man who hadn’t done much for the last two years, and who never even talked a good game about the radical change we need (universal healthcare, universal basic income, removing ALL student debt, etc).

Trump being back in the ballot helps a bit, but I’m not sure people are still feeling the immediacy and the urgency to keep him out of the oval office as they did at the end of this last term.

It was going to be another squeaker, and my money was on the Republicans because of their ability to ratfuck the vote with gerrymandering and voter suppression.

But NOW we have the supreme Court lighting a fire under the left. They struck down roe, and they struck down student loan forgiveness.

That may be enough to put us over the edge.

Yeah, I see denouncing and illustrating terrorist attacks as a good thing.

NO ONE wants the Palestinians, and that should tell you a lot about who are really the villains in this conflict.

Palestinians have caused terrible violence and civil unrest in the Arab countries that have tried to host them.

This is a population that voted for terrorists to lead them, AFTER Israel had already removed itself from Gaza.

“None of it is justified by any side …“

Strong disagree. Israel has a right to exist and a right to defend itself.

Israel is TINY. EVERYTHING is near a border with one of their hostile neighbors.

Palestine isn’t a state. It never became it state. It never has been a state.

Getting rid of misinformation is great.

Getting rid of accurately reported, gruesome images because of a government mandate flies in the face of the core principles of free speech. And it would cause real damage to the world.

Remember that it was only when the world actually saw images of the Nazi concentration camps that the world actually believed it. They’d heard about it for years, but it was largely ignored.

The version of this technology that I would love to see is for each individual to have a database of people they’ve met before, so if you meet them again, your smart glasses can prompt you with their name and notes about them.

Basically Google allows you to do this in a limited form with Google Photos, minus the ability to do live recognition

What we need is a left-wing candidate to win a primary, and pull the party to the left the way Bush and Trump pulled their party to the alt-right
