I for one find it strange that all of the Pro-Life members of congress aren’t outraged this.

This is a great point. These premature infants should not have taken those hostages, and even though I’m generally against the death penalty, these premature newborns committed a war crime when, as premature newly born children who can’t walk, talk, think, or do anything except be a passive recipient of life saving

I said something similar the other day. Christie is a petulant bully but his track record is of acceptable competence and he’s relatively consistent (note my wording there) in his opposition to rising facism in his own party.

Definitely not. If you strap me down and force me to pick a “least despicable” also-ran, it would be Chris Christie, which says a lot about the gang.

Theirs is the saddest and most craven take on marriage I’ve heard in a while, akin to the “Who Wants to Marry A Millionaire”-style performative public spectacle. 

To Jada, it appears to be a way to maintain a lifestyle her mediocre talent could not, and to continously drag the person she claims to love. She’s an asshole. Period. Full stop.

Somehow I don’t think an errant rocket caused a hospital and 500 people to be killed. I’m also hesitant to believe the same people who denied they killed the journalist Shireen Abou Akleh until weeks later.

I actually wanted to know why they haven’t covered Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and how they’ve been colonizing & ethnic cleansing them for 70+ years, keep those remaining in the world’s largest concentration camp completely surrounded by a militarized border, make them pass through armed checkpoints

Okay, let’s talk about the attack. Why did the Netanyahu gov’t ignore intelligence warning from both Egypt and the United States about the impending attack? 

With respect, you don’t need to watch conservative outlets to hear genocidal rhetoric about Palestinians. The mainstream press and many “reasonable” journalists/pundits/politicians have done that job just fine.

Most incredibly, there was no article written about the actual terrorist attack by Hamas. How is that possible? It’s Israel’s version of 9/11 and you don’t even see fit to do an article about it? That’s basically Fox News level journalistic malpractice.

What if it’s a Wednesday? What if it’s a full moon? What other rules do you have for when people should be offended by genocide? 

That whole “if you’re sitting at a table with Nazis you’re a Nazi too” thing stopped being applied when we looked past all the neo-Nazis NATO was supporting in Ukraine. Meanwhile one guy pulls up a picture of a swastika on his phone at a pro-Palestine protest (he couldn’t even get a physical representation into that

The ethnic cleansing of Palestine has been going on non-stop since 1948. When is it ok for people to speak up and say the deliberate targeting of civilians is a war crime? When would you grant that permission? When they’re all dead and gone I suppose. 

Condemning Israel for committing war crimes is antisemitic? What do you call the countless Jews who have called out Bibi, Likud, and the “settlers” for a decades-long campaign of ethnic cleansing and provocation?

2006 was 17 years ago. The average age in Gaza is 18 years old. Most of the people the IDF is trying to genocide into oblivion did not choose Hamas because they weren’t old enough to vote.

As a Palestinian-American who’s father’s family was forced to flee the country in 1948, I am not sure how they anticipated she would react? Full throated endorsement of the IDF planning an invasion of Gaza?

Oh I think it’s very clear why they are doing this. Old Benji wants a genocide and the Israeli government can’t let all these high visibility celebrities influence their followers with things like reason and empathy. It unmuddies the water they’ve worked so hard to keep dirty. I can’t begin to tell you how many people

Everything Democrats do, *everything*, is calibrated on how afraid they are of what republicans will say about them.

I agree that iSrael has contributed to the cycle of violence, but iSrael isn’t targeting civilians
