U.S. election is over. It has no marketable value now.

I’d wondered the same

Blamed exhaustion and resignation of the masses

Sadly yours fits best

Just goes to show that they didn't actually care about preventing/stopping genocide, just as I'd been saying. It was a tool to get trump back into the presidency, so that we can have more genocide instead.

The whole thing used to be called Palestine for thousands of years. A place where Muslims and Jews lived in peace as a community. Been Isreal for less than 80 and now the latest hotspot in genocide. Wish I could have seen it before.

During the Iron Age, two related Israelite kingdoms, Israel and Judah, controlled much of Palestine, while the Philistines occupied its southern coast. The Assyrians conquered the region in the 8th century BCE, then the Babylonians in c. 601 BCE, followed by the Persians who conquered the Babylonian Empire in 539 BCE. Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire in the late 330s BCE, beginning Hellenization. In the late 2nd century BCE, the Hasmonean Kingdom conquered most of Palestine, but the kingdom became a vassal of Rome, which annexed it in 63 BCE. Roman Judea was troubled by Jewish revolts in 66 CE, so Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Jewish Temple in 70 CE. In the 4th century, as the Roman Empire transitioned to Christianity, Palestine became a center for the religion, attracting pilgrims, monks and scholars. Following Muslim conquest of the Levant in 636–641, ruling dynasties succeeded each other: the Rashiduns; Umayyads, Abbasids; the semi-independent Tulunids and Ikhshidids; Fatimids; and the Seljuks. In 1099, the Crusaders established the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which the Ayyubid Sultanate reconquered in 1187. Following the invasion of the Mongol Empire in the late 1250s, the Egyptian Mamluks reunified Palestine under its control, before the Ottoman Empire conquered the region in 1516 and ruled it as Ottoman Syria to the 20th century, largely undisrupted.

Keep up, we annexing Syria these days, daddy needs a new buffer zone for his buffer zone. Can barely see the shit we're seizing on this tiny map. You need this one.

It's a good thing we showed Democrats how much we care about Gaza by not voting for them or protest voting for Trump! Now everything in Gaza is fine, right?!

It will keep being talked about as we help Netanyahu exterminate what's left of the Palestinian people.

In a year the Palestinians will be gone like the Uyghurs, their culture killed and their land taken.
