I suspect whats going on here is that the South Africans know what kind of people Zionists are, since the old apartheid government used to partner with them.

The Christian right aren’t Sanders actual enemies; that would be the Democratic party.

Problem with that is it would leave to much unexploded ordinance and toxic residue. The mid-term goal is to have the area settled by Israelis … it’s prime, beach-front property. Why ruin real estate that’s perfect for a retirement condo or inland settlement?

The better strategy would be to take control of the Philadelphi Route that borders Gaza and Egypt - then just dehydrate & starve everyone into submission. While this is happening, Israel could arrange subsidies to people who will ‘voluntarily’ leave for willing nations that would take them.

To be sure: In the short-term it will be horrific. Lots of images of skeleton children, wailing women, and occasional stories of cannibalism.

But whatever. What is anyone gonna do about it? Write a strongly-worded social media post? Vote for someone other than Biden? LOL.

By this time next year the majority of Palestinians will be dead, psychologically broken, or living in some other 3rd-world nation state.

Within 40 years there will be a documentary, produced by a well-meaning Jewish director, that will make Israelis feel slightly uncomfortable about what they did. Grandparents will assure their grand-kids that THEY weren’t responsible for the slaughter. They had a Palestinian friend they used to play with as a child. Really. Such a shame. “Now come along kids; grab your yarmulkes and let’s leave the condo and go have some delicious halva on the Gaza beach.”

If one is willing to prioritize pedantry over human decency - then yes, one could make a case this isn’t technically genocide.

But even if one is willing to concede that point - what’s absolutely happening is ethnic cleansing. Not sure if that’s an improvement.

2019 called. They want their False Flag operation back.

Just an FYI: Article is from 2015.

Doesn’t take away from how Zionists often misrepresent history to justify their apartheid state - but this is old news.

Dunno why anyone should be surprised. Israelis are going into Gaza and shooting at anything that moves Hamas. Such blind violence inevitably results in friendly fire fatalities along with those who have the misfortune of being a human living in an open air prison member of Hamas.

We all understand where this is going: They’re going to fire bomb the entire Gaza strip - and then have Israeli settlers methodically sift through the wreckage to murder every survivor Hamas Terrorist.

If ever there was something that will predictably backfire on Republicans would be if they actually have Hunter Biden testify.

Br’er Rabbit was was born and raised in the briar patch.

It’s a simple theology: “Me first. Fuck you. Every man for himself.”

While it fits great on a bumper sticker, it’s a suboptimal strategy to build an economy, nation-state, or anything really.

The US had to twist Egypt’s arm to get them to accept refugees, so that doesn’t explain things entirely.

The reason why neighboring states are reluctant to accept refugees is that they know they will never be able to return, and the influx of people would destabilize their own societies.

The solution isn’t for other countries to start accepting refugees - it’s that the Israelis need to stop murdering them.

The problem is that the Palestinians are stuck in Gaza because no one really cares about them.

Lots people across the world care about the plight of Palestinians. The US effectively bribes the ruling classes of several middle-eastern countries to prevent popular will from spilling over into open warfare to oppose Israel’s treatment of the indigenous population. It’s impossible to understand how Israel gets away with what it does without acknowledging this.

The issue isn’t about caring … the problem is that Palestinians, and the broader middle-east generally, are being oppressed by a western-backed settler-colonial movement.

Wasn’t Gaza already surrounded before all this? It’s a giant prison - it even has walls around the perimeter.

This isn’t an invasion - they are resecuring the prison.

You need to be more specific. Are you talking about the civilians inside the prison? Or the civilians outside the prison?

The prisoners have to be punished brutally for daring to retaliate against their conditions.

A few days ago I went out to a local wine bar and ordered a charcuterie.

On the bill, there was a $1.85 “Kitchen Appreciation Fee”. Not a tip … a fee. For ordering food from the menu.

WTF.

Israel has a nasty habit of bombing the very places they tell civilians to go to.

Even if it was logisticaly possible for every Palestinian to evacuate to the Northern half of the Gaza Strip, even if Israel didn’t bomb areas they demanded the residents to flee to; based on Israel’s history we know what would happen: Israeli settlers would rush in to claim the land.

It would be far more honest if the Israeli government just came out and said what we all know they are about to do: Massacre every man, woman, and child in Gaza.
