For decades, we have been in the streets in defense of the Palestinian people, and will continue to fight until the total liberation of Palestine!

    I was talking to a girl in beyruth. She was concerned about her parents. She wanted to flee to jordan, but the planes are full. Here’s the exchange.

    hat's what I heard, these a-holes are putting warning that an area was gonna get bombed and then they bomb another place.
    
    Do you know where to go? You have family abroad?

    My mom and dad refuse to leave

    Sadly they say that they would rather die in Lebanon

    It is heartbreaking to see my parents, who are so old, witness yet another war!!

      Yep. That sucks. Doesn’t change that I’m voting for Kamala.

      I’d rather her be in charge than Donald “Finish the Job” Trump.

        What are you doing to push Harris to the left on this position? She needs to change, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it could cost her the election. If you’re so worried about Trump winning, you need her to change on this.

          Me? Not a whole lot if I’m being honest. I’m more focused on local issues in my deep red state to really worry about other things. “Put on your breathing mask before assisting others” or however the safety tag reads

          Welcome to US foreign policy, paid for by all our tax dollars regardless of who is in charge.

            Yep, therefore both the DNC and GOP represent “finish the job” genocide and ought to be abandoned entirely.

              Nope. There are degrees of escalation and the possibility of pullback with one of them (hint: Evangelicals are a big part of the Republican base, who believe Israel plays a role in doomsday).

              If the US went gloves off there wouldn’t be any Palestinian alive in a month if I’m being honest.

                The US is already gloves off. They aren’t exterminating palestinians for moral reasons, they don’t give a shit about evangelicals. It’s about economics.

                  You’ve got a lot to learn about your enemies if you think it’s purely economics for these nutcases lol

                  You also need to learn the definition of “gloves off.” The US still has chemical weapons and I’ve yet to see footage of US infantry going house to house mowing down children

                    You’ve got a lot to learn about foreign politics if you think it’s driven by individual madmen.

                    You also need to understand that the US isn’t going to dedicate themselves to exterminating Gaza, they will just let Israel do it. Israel is doing it for land reasons.

            In response to a first hand account of fear over genocidal bombing campaigns and exodus, you decided to center yourself and try to get in some genocidal-apologetic zingers.

                Hitler was in a position of power. You are more of a Himmler supporter that rationalizes pogroms.

                  Ehhh…Himmler had more power than I do. I’d be more of a faceless Nazi bureaucrat stamping the train schedules.

                    I said supporter of Himmler, not Himmler himself.

                    Your flippant celebration of complicity in genocide gives you a lot in common with the people you claim to oppose.
