God these people are so out of touch with reality. Israel had it all, even support from millions of moderate muslims over the world. They lost it after what, day 3? We're almost a month in and these assholes act if the world was supporting them all the time. Talk about forming the narrative. They're so stupid they threw millions online for ads to support them and still lost public approval.
Zippit
Fuck the US (government not people) at this point. The hypocrisy is just vile.
Even if Hamas is using them as a shield, experts explain that the civilians still have to be protected. So Israel is committing war crimes here.
I read the article but it doesn't contain a video, so unless you go searching for it. Don't.
I get it, but wouldn't it be easier to just make lobbying free and let everyone have a say instead of taking the money and risking the nation's security by foreign influence?
I mean, it's just opening up your country for catastrophe at this point.
Talk, negotiate, turn their own people on them by giving them basic human rights and treating them like real humans instead of what you've been doing to them for decades.
And maybe stop killing peacemakers, remember the photo of Rabin and Arafat shaking hands? That day gave us all so much hope. That was the right way to go instead of giving in to your own terrorist settlers and asshole Netanyahu.
Oh, and take a look at how Ukraine is winning public opinion and the war just by being decent, treating their prisoners of war justly, keeping civilian casualties at a minimum, not killing journalists, not start a disinformation campaign, ...
All I read in the Israeli media is that basically Israel has given up on the hostages. And from Hamas' standpoint, the smart thing to do is to hold on to those hostages for life, because the minute they let them all go, it will be a complete genocide.
You forgot that you have to give the enemy a way out if you want the hostages back. Right now they have nothing to lose and every man, woman and child Israel kills is in their advantage. They may lose their lives, but their lives weren't worth living anyway the way you treated them for generations...but Israel will lose everything in the end and they still can't see it.
You already lost.
Note that Biden and his administration are changing their tone, only AFTER major backlash from the Muslim community, the UN, EU and all the demonstrations going on. Turkey just cut ties with Netanyahu, yes everybody shits on Turkey, but at least they know how to give a signal.
*"Netanyahu is no longer someone we can talk to. We have written him off," Turkish media quoted Erdogan as saying.
Erdogan's remarks came a week after Israel said it was "re-evaluating" its relations with Ankara because of Turkey's increasingly heated rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war.* Like, you know everyone has a right to an opinion?
Kids are dying every minute and all Biden can come up with is a plan to fight Islamaphobia? Bitch we don't need your plan, every minority group has learned to survive without you.
The world has changed, no one's buying this shit anymore. There is no fucking way Israel will come out of this war as a victor. Starving people to death, cutting off water, displacing them and then bombing them indiscriminately to death even before setting one foot on the ground and then claim victory? History will know them forever as the cowards they are. Not 'smart' but cowards.
Wouldn't surprise me if Biden threw a few aliens at us at this point to distract us from what's going on.
The only thing he can do now, is to pack up his warships or hell, just even threaten to pack up, to let Israel see how serious he is and STOP Vetoing UN humanitarian aid resolutions.
Good.
Thank you! This is amazing, I'm really out of the game lately.
Let them. The US should stop policing the entire world and forcing this image of 'we are the good guys' on everyone.
Nobody is buying this shit anymore. I'm tired of the entire world having to walk around US ego politics. The world has changed and we moved on from the US.
The way I see it, they have no abortion rights, corruption all the way up and down the ladder, police killing black civilians just for the fun of it AND getting off, their supreme court judges are corrupt, their prisons are just there for slave labour, no basic healthcare, disgusting minimum wages, .... No basic human rights essentially for anyone that has no money or is surviving.
Maybe the US should look more inward for the baddies for the next century, clean up your mess and then condemn other countries that you know, are just different from you?
He unleashed hell by 'unconditional' support. All he had to do was to be nuanced and ask for a proportional response following the Geneva convention. And we're still not talking about the long term effect this will have for his own country. And he was doing so well...
