I’m not talking about wars. I’m talking about Israeli apartheid, all of which was and continues to be enacted exclusively by Israel.

Well maybe Israel should stop its brutal, decades-long apartheid campaign that’s pissing off all of its neighbors and pre-dates Hamas by around 50 years.

Just because you’re not in on the joke doesn’t mean it’s not a joke

Civilians are not allowed in war zone, so they couldn’t be civilians.

Real IDF logic right here. The people of Gaza have literally nowhere to go that isn’t being bombed to hell by Israel. Children are also being summarily shot in the head by Israeli troops, but I’m sure you’ll find a way to deflect blame there as well.

Hamas militants dequise as civilians, without considering the consequences on the surrounding civilians

Wait, so are there civilians in a war zone or not?

Biden is a committed zionist, and has been for his entire career. Yes, to a certain extent politicians are malleable. That does not mean they will automatically bend their personal beliefs to the will of the voters. You can see this in action right now, since most Democrat voters support conditioning aid to Israel and Biden refuses to do so.

More fundamentally, you need to reconsider the idea of voting for a politician and then expecting them to do what you want when they have made no indication that they will. At that point, you’ve lost significant leverage.

Who the hell are they supposed to vote for here? Both candidates have committed to continuing to help Israel commit genocide. The Dems refuse to do anything meaningful to motivate young people to vote, then complain that young people don’t vote and blame them for lost races. The Republicans sure as shit won’t do anything for young people regardless of the circumstances.

Notice that the schools, hospitals, residential blocks, etc in Lebanon are attacked without even a modicum of pretense. The justifications for bombing hospitals last year were clearly half-assed and false, but now they don’t even bother to give them.

She didn’t threaten to do shit, you just want to exonerate trigger-happy cop gangsters.

There is no fucking way that you can watch that video and conclude that she “brought it on herself”.

Totally correct, and that doesn’t make Biden any better.

Carlin was vulgar, but he never punched down. I firmly believe his comedy would be as accepted today as it was when he made it.

Those are speed holes, they make the car go faster.

What happens when they don’t?

You don’t think that realizing he was pissing off his base, during an election year, has any impact on his choices?

It’s super weird to assume that criticizing a politician automatically means someone supports the opposition candidate.

Seems like Biden should listen to his constituents if he wants to win re-election.
