She's only there because she misunderstood what COP28 is

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 43 points 11 months ago

"Under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza," Harris explained, according to a statement from the vice president's office.

jesse-wtf

What's been happening for the past month in Gaza then? Just a little Israeli adventure into Gaza with a few fireworks?

Cutting off water, electricity, emergency aid, and food while also launching a coordinated air and ground attack isn't a siege, it's an invasion which is totally different

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 39 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can imagine her losing her temper in the (very?) near future when she's in a media scrum and she loses her cool because the reporters keep asking questions and they are unsatisfied with her answers.

"But some media outlets are describing this as ethnic cleansing."

"Look - I'll say it yet again. Israel is annexing Gaza. Egypt is welcoming Gazans. This is not forced relocation." And she walks away in a huff.

Shell just pop another perc and forget she was her

"We won't permit"

Does nothing

under threat of a sternly worded scolding

[continues to write checks and send weapons to isntreal]

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 5 points 11 months ago

She means it literally. There's a permit you're supposed to get for genocides, but she's just not going to issue it.

[-] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

What she means is, under no circumstance, will the US allow the forced relocation of Palestinians to relocate any of them to the US

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago

Did she say it without laughing?

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago

I can imagine this - "I love to say 'If you can't do the time - don't do the crime.' Hamas did the crime and now Gazans gonna do time in Egypt!" She laughs like a drain but then she says "Fuck! Is that mic on? Fuck!"

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago

I could see her going on one of her spacecase rants and accidentally acknowledging borders aren't real.

[-] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Only if they didn't bring a Venn-Diagram to the presentation. Those things are like catnip to her.

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago

Instead we will "facillitate the emigration of refugees"

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago

Oh, god. They're actually going to say something like that.

If the worst happens - I might never be able to speak to liberals again because interacting with them will make me insane.

Me: "It was clearly ethnic cleansing."

Lib: "No, it was not. Biden facilitated the emigration of—"

Me: [Redacted]

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

"Emigration-involved incident"

[-] privatized_sun@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

fascist euphemistic language cop speak? I sleep

antisemitic tropes? THE HOLOCAUST IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 28 points 11 months ago

If you're a Pell Grant recipient living in Gaza for 3 years, you deserve a tax break. No other aid will be provided.

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

Dropping leaflets on people saying go to this area or be blown up doesn’t count I guess

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Worse then just that, they were QR Codes that took people to that map

We won't talk about how many Palestinians living there probably don't have smart phones

We also won't talk about how their telecom had to shut down like 2 weeks back due to lack of fuel (from what I could find) and hasn't turned back on afaik soooo....

[-] SpasmodicColon@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

Oh so now they have the ability to dictate things? What happened to "we have no ability to tell isntreal to stop genociding"?

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

They'll just support Israel in bombing them right where they are

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

"Gazans - we, the United States of America, have a message for you. We see you. We are listening to you. We hear you. And we have given Israel the coordinates and have asked them to respect your humanity and not use the information as a target list."

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

The fun part of using your unpopular VP to say the tough things in public is then being chained to running them for president later on and acting like they can tread water with lead shoes.

All other criticism of Dems aside doesn't this strike me as a predictable and therefore avoidable self own in the future?

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago

The dems aren't a monolith. They'll come together and close ranks against the left, but they have their own camps. Biden and his camp hate her. Her selection was a totally empty gesture at representational politics. The Biden people don't give a fuck about her career because they will never get a job with her, so they stick her with all this shit. She's never going to be president anyway and no one thinks she will, except maybe her. Even the people who convince her to run so they can make money off her campaign probably don't think she'll win.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

She could easily be president for about 15 months if she did something very funny

Biden has done worse than Kamala could ever aspire to, though not for lack of trying, so I think they feel secure in knowing their base has been trained into a short attention span.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

therefore avoidable self own in the future

There's music for that.

[-] IceWallowCum@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago

We see you, we hear you, we are coming for you

[-] edge@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They wanted to make sure we know it’s a lie.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

I wish I had thought of that. It would have been a great title. But I'm stealing it to use later. And there will be many "laters" and she hardly has anything to do all day, every day.

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

adventure-time, come on grab your sicko-hexbear-crowd, we'll go to very illegal-to-say lands, with nat-turner and JB-shining-aggro , the fun will never end it's adventure-time

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

The Biden camp really enjoys sending her out to trip over her own feet.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 10 points 11 months ago

She was so effective when she told immigrants not to cum, so why not.

isn't it like 76% displaced, 54% of homes destroyed?

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

this is just code for "we're gonna kill em"

[-] heartheartbreak@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

Why should we beleive Hamala Hamas?

Lib translation: Palestinians will not be allowed to leave as we bomb their homes.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

lmao they were trying to not only allow, but facilitate said forced relocation and Sisi shut Biden down

[-] onwardknave@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Technically, murdering them first means they're not relocating them. See, those settlements were unoccupied.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

"US pledges to wag finger at Israel for forced displacement."
