    I’ve seen this posted a few times and there’s always comments explaining how this is actually Biden’s fault.
    Don’t get me wrong, I know he wasn’t the best president but if anyone thinks he was as bad or worse than Trump, they’re delusional.
    I wish I was disappointed with another 4 years of an ineffective centrist who didn’t do enough to prevent the genocide.
    Instead we have to watch as we actively participate in, and facilitate, the acceleration of the extermination.

      Speaking of delusional: didn’t do enough to prevent genocide? Biden actively participated in genocide throughout.

        Me, five months ago:

        If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.

        You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.

        If Harris is the harm reduction candidate, who for?

            And the fucking glee with which they celebrate genocide as penance for not voting blue no matter who. The Palestinian people aren’t your fucking plaything.

    The resistance in the West Bank is weak because of the PA. Get rid of it and it should be freed like the Gaza Strip was when the settlers were expelled.

      And how has that turned out for Gaza so far? Probably not the example you should be looking to replicate.

        The settlements are illegal per international law. Palestinians have the right to resist and expel the settlers regardless of how mighty the US or Israel are. Freedom isn’t free, after all.

        Despite all the war crimes and genocide, Israel still lost in the Gaza Strip. They didn’t destroy Hamas and they didn’t expel the Palestinians and resettle in the Gaza Strip. This is exactly the model that should be replicated in the West Bank.

            Hamas’s war crimes

            *Palestinians’ prison break

            • Palestinians have the legal right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle
            • Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”
