The US: hey Israel, you doing a genocide? Here's money with no strings or requirements attached!!!
This a huge win for white supremacist and antisemitic conspiracy theorists.
Lets not pretend like white supremacy isn't in open support for genociding brown people and western governments being full of closeted white supremacists
That’s how you change a Biden vote to a vote for no one. Need to stop funding that genocide stuff
Would you regret voting for no one if Trump ends up winning and escalates the genocide even further?
If the choices are "enthusiastic genocide" and "genocide with some light tut-tutting", then democracy failed.
Democracy didn't fail us, corporate media fucked us.
A very large portion of what any of us know about a given politician or policy is from corporate media and they absofuckinglutley have a desired outcome even if it's as simple as using misleading ragebait just to get views. It leaves us less capable of making good decisions.
No. Fuck the DNC and corporate democrats for putting everyone in this extortion position. Stop blaming people for what government itself is creating. Stop this bullshit
Yeah nothing you said there made any sense and Trump will offer to have the 6th fleet glass Gaza on his 3rd day in office, but you said it with absolute conviction so you must be right .
I don’t have anymore clown makeup to put on, but you keep on and dismiss the potential non pro genocide voters that could easily be won over by not aiding this bullshit

If the US completely cut off aid to Israel it would make 0 difference. We should cut them off foreign aid since they don't need it, as they are definitely a rich country, but they have tons of money and even if they didn't the current leadership in Israel would spend whatever they had. I don't think that anything short of a hostile invasion will get Israel to stop but I'd love to be wrong.
With that being said Congress - not the president - allocates this money. Look at how many votes Bernie's bill to attempt to put restrictions on that aid got, neither party is going to do more than agitate people online about it.
This is the first Harris news I have EVER heard and it just says "US Vice President" is she like a ghost or something and we can't say her name 3 times
It's looks to be a middle eastern website and the very first sentence of the article is
US Vice President Kamala Harris said...
Who actually reads articles smh my head
By the time the next president is sworn into office, I feel like the genocide will be over, considering they are targeting Rafah which is quite literally the last stand for Gazans since they are backed up to the wall against Egypt's border.
There's no way Biden is winning this election on "not Trump"

God I wanted this to be fake so badly. NBC certainly doesn't make corroboration easy to find either. But at the end of their Ukraine segment on February 17th (18th?) they confirm it right before transitioning to the next segment. Talk about trying to bury the story.
Heh your response to Hamas is over the top, but by all means feel free to continue and also please take our money
I'm pretty sure Benny threatened to use nukes.
