"Well, let me tell you something, I don’t, I don’t know the Puerto Rican that I know, the Puerto Rico where I’m fr -- in my home state of Delaware. They’re good, decent honorable people"

A simpler rephrasing of this sentiment is "We must murder every Palestinian to prevent the death of vulnerable groups here." How is this an acceptable position to you? Even if it was completely fruitless I would prefer to stand against the slaughter of an entire people than partake in the system perpetuating it, I can't in good conscience do otherwise. We can do more than vote.

We live in a black mirror episode basically. I picture a dark executive office filled with screens showing the live feeds. "We'll need to edit out that fruit, the state requires we remove any reminder of our ongoing genocide."

Blinken is going to be in Israel this week also, it was said before that his visiting usually preceded major actions by them which would be logical, I'm not sure if that's always the case though.

when the US fought in Vietnam, people were drafted from the age of 19

And as we all know, that decision was widely respected and the US went on to win the war.

If a Zionist wants to be deserving of life they can stop being a Zionist, simple. Action against Zionism is a duty for anyone with compassion.

Harris has now revisited her answer on the View about whether she would do anything differently than Joe Biden, saying there is one way she would change things up.

“I plan on having a Republican in my cabinet,” Harris said, repeating a promise she has made before. “You asked me, what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me. Well, that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican because I don’t, I don’t feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea."

"Trump and the Republicans want a christo-fascist ethnostate. Vote for me so we can have a bipartisan fascist ethnostate" kamala-coconut-tree

Checking AP News to see headlines about the latest, why do they suck so much? Basically repeating the same sort of IDF propaganda we've seen in relation to the conflict. Talking about how hard it is to be Jewish in the US right now (mentioning 'divisive pro-Palestine protests,' give me a fuckin break), about the incredible air defences of Israel and how they completely foiled Iran's attack.

But in food related articles, they had one about how you can have good protein without meat and they have the worst photo of a shitty looking plate, are they trying to make vegan food unappealing?

Wtf is this?? I think it's a crack on the plate but it looks like a hair in it lol. Source: Cutting back on meat doesn’t have to mean going without protein.

Netenyahu et al: "Iran's missile attack has failed" this is what failure looks like? Maybe they assume the attack failed because Iran didn't level residential blocks which obviously is the best way to attack an enemy military.

There's a phrase I heard: "Who lynches the lynchers?" Makes you think.

Israel submits challenges to ICC on Gaza arrest warrant requests

The Israeli foreign ministry said that its first legal brief outlined the ICC’s “manifest lack of jurisdiction” in the case. The second paper, it said, argues that the ICC prosecutor breached court rules by “failing to provide Israel with the opportunity to exercise its right to investigate by itself the claims raised by the prosecutor, before proceeding.”

Is this something they have a right to? Like a mass murderer being arrested and saying "you can't do that, you didn't allow me to investigate myself to see if I murdered all those people!" After they were filmed shooting a crowd.
