Anyone who imagined that US President Donald Trump would be the Stop the War president the Middle East had been waiting for, should have a look at what is currently underway in the Occupied West Bank.
The images from the hostage release in Gaza City shocked an Israeli public fed on myths of total victory. “After a year and four months, in which the public’s eyes have been flooded with information and baseless narratives of stories of total victory and revenge, the Israeli public sees from Gaza images of Toyotas, armed Hamas members and Gaza rising from the ruins,” journalist Israel Frey told Middle East Eye.
That said, the large-scale ground assault on the West Bank refugee camps was preplanned. But its timing was enough to keep Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s far right finance minister and de facto consul general of the occupied West Bank, in the cabinet when he threatened to resign over the ceasefire in Gaza. The other item in Smotrich’s sweetie bag was the promise to clear out the army leadership.
Recognizing the issues with how the Democratic Party ran their campaign and how that led to Fascism is the dumbest take you’ve seen?
I voted Democrat. I told others to. That doesn’t change the reality that the strategy they used failed to mobilize voters. The Democrats did let the fascists win. They did not take this election seriously.
Latest evidence suggests the fascists just stole it (surprise!)
I don’t think the 2024 election was stolen. But if you mean that there are fascists (Christian Zionists) within the Democratic Establishment who, at best, didn’t mind losing to Trump, I think you’re right.
The guy evaded prison for all the crimes he did. He won’t give a shit about that because it won’t stick, and his base will cheer him up no matter what he does.
