It seems to me that Republicans and the Christian Nationalists they are in bed with are going to be immovably pro-Israel. How do we prevent our government from participating in this genocide as these new politicians take power?

    You mean Israel has been trying, and failing, to do since 1948?

    Have they tried as hard as they’re trying right now? Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them, or at least entirely getting out of their way while they do it, instead of putting up some form of resistance to the idea of them wiping Palestine out?

    You sure do give white supremacists a lot of credit, don’t you?

    I wouldn’t call it credit. I’d call it reading a history book and undestanding how far white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.

      Nope. They have never been this desperate.

      Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them

      The (so-called) “west” has been interested in helping them since 1948. That’s why they have the kind of firepower now they could only have dreamt of in 1948 - and they are failing nonetheless.

      or at least entirely getting out of their way

      The US isn’t standing in their way. Palestinians with RPG-7s are standing in their way.

      white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.

      White supremacism gave itself all the power it wanted all over the world. And yet, despite this power, one by one the colonialist chickens was forced to come home to roost after the failure of white supremacism to remain dominant in the colonized world. It’s now the US’s turn to experience that failure.

        If you think Palestine is going to survive for much longer, then you have an optimism I can only dream of. Even if Trump simply stands out of the way. Which is unlikely, because Donald Trump only helps those who can benefit him and Israel can benefit him. So expect more of our BOOM BOOMs to end up there in the near future.

        Palestine is done.

        Yes, and the last time they got REAL power it took millions of lives and an unquantifiable amount of money/resources to put them back down.

          The literal ex-commander of the Gaza division doesn’t share your denialism. about Israel’s chances.

          Like I said… you give white supremacism a lot of credit.

          So expect more of our BOOM BOOMs

          You mean the ones that are already there?

          Yes, and the last time they got REAL power it took millions of lives

          Oh no… they were costing millions of lives looooong before Mussolini gave it a name. And western liberal society was perfectly fine with it both before and after as long as it remained in the colonized world.

          It’s almost as if liberalism simply accepts that a bit of fascism every now and then is simply the cost of doing business.

            Gonna need more than the opinion of an ex-commander. I’ve heard a lot of ex-military say things. Look at Michael Flynn. Not exactly an icon of honesty and trustworthyness.

            Like I said… you give white supremacism a lot of credit.

            That’s because history has taught me to be very, very concerned with the capabilities of organized white supremacism.

            This seems like an emotional opinion.
