"Only I can prevent WWIII."

- Trump

*promises to double down on Israel support in the face of obvious genocide and violent land grab*

*promises to abandon Ukraine to an invading nation violently land grabbing - again*

*promises to abandon NATO*

*Americans agree*

"Are we the baddies?" they say, and the leopard replies that they taste just fine thank you very much.

"What's that, you're about to expand the scope of aggression via even more war crimes?"

I hope everyone with their eyes closed and their fingers in their ears can't ignore this now. Now, it should be plainly obvious no matter what our leaders have been huffing.

Yeah well in Canada, Justin Trudeau is a fucking coward when it comes to denouncing Israel. He even felt bad for the Maccabi mob in Amsterdam and gave his sympathies to the Jewish people for the chaos and assault the Maccabi did to the locals.

Fucking shameful.

EDIT: I'm learning to be a better person every day.

Note that using the pejorative “pussy” denigrates people that have vaginas. Likening weakness or cowardice to a woman’s physical anatomy insinuates that women themselves are weak. They are not. That vernacular is beneath your station and not an empowering way to present your point. In the further, see if you can make your arguments without degrading a large section of humanity.

Ok. I edited my comment. I'm sorry. That was obviously not my objective.

Yes. For all our supposed national pride in human rights we've shown our belief in "never again" on genocides comes with terms and conditions.

There's a big ass asterisk right next to it.

In Australia the ruling Labor Party has as its official policy a peaceful two-state solution, but the only one elected representative from Labor who actually voted in favour of a motion to recognise the Palestinian state (not even for the country to recognise it officially, just the purely symbolic recognition of the Senate) got forced out of her party by the cowards who can't even vote in a purely symbolic vote in favour of the policy their party officially stands for.

That's what I call censorship.

Yeah, that's the Labor party for you. Censorship under the guise of "the importance of solidarity and a united front".

If it wasn't plainly obvious before, then they'll continue to be blind to reality forever. Afterall, the US is continually blind to the Native and African American population. Weird how a hand out to African Americans is going too far for a politician, but each year the word antisemitism is repeated more than racism against African Americans, and the money always flows to Israel.

Netanyahu has been wanting to annex the West Bank for some time now. They tried to do it last time when Trump was in power but got pushback. This is their take two.
