It doesn't matter who it was started by or whether the resultant state was democratic or secular, as it is an open proclamation of an intent to wipe Israel off the map. It doesn't take a geography expert to point out that all of Israel exists between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, does it?

You cannot claim to be anti-genocide if you support wiping Israel off the map.

You cannot claim to support a two-state solution if you support wiping Israel off the map.

Any one-state solution amounts to genocide of the other state, fucking duh.

You say that as if the Palestinians don't have an equal desire to utterly destroy the Israelis and rule over all of the land from the river to the sea.

If I remember correctly it was the pro-Palestinian groups all over the world who were chanting "Palestine shall be free from the river to the sea", was it not?

At any rate, this is 100% about the hostages, as the US's reason for voting against this gesture was because it did nothing to call for the immediate release of all Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip. Why is it wrong to demand that the hostages be freed?

What does "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea" mean to you?

Any agreement from the Israelis or Palestinians isn't worth its weight in shit.

So, if you're living in "Israel" aren't you actively part of the "genocide" that you're describing?

The Palestinians are just as responsible for putting shitheads like Sinwar in power as the Israelis are responsible for putting shitheads like Netanyahu in power. Both groups of people have empowered the genocidal extremist warmongers at every opportunity, and y'all want to blame American politicians for the sad state of the nations that were handed to you on a silver platter by the League of Nations after the fall of the Ottoman Empire?

As someone actually living in "The United States of America", I'm sick and tired of my democracy and tax dollars being held hostage because of your problems, and I ain't the only one.

Why is it wrong to call for the immediate release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza in exchange for a ceasefire? How does the prolonged suffering of the hostages and their families help the people of Gaza in any way? Is a unilateral ceasefire that doesn't guarantee the immediate return of the hostages "doing the right thing" to you?

Not that it never mattered anyway. The UN doesn't control whether a ceasefire happens or not, only the Israelis and Palestinians can decide when to lay down their weapons and release the hostages--and that should have happened a fucking year ago.

Is there evidence that the Israeli soldiers did it?

Source on ISIS being behind the looting?

Every source I've seen suggests it's home grown Palestinian gangsters lead by Abu Shabab.

"The UN says it's the Jews fault that Palestinians are stealing from Palestinians!"

Funny how Palestinians can apparently do no wrong. 🤣

What began in the spring as a largely random phenomenon of desperate civilians stealing from trucks has now morphed into an organized criminal enterprise, aid groups say, and the gangs responsible have become increasingly violent and powerful — compounding the struggle to deliver food, hygiene items and cold-weather supplies to 2 million displaced and hungry people as winter approaches.

Says a guy who wholehearted supports genocidal Islamist terrorists. October 7th massacre? Now that's inspiring!
