Semper Shitpost Ubique

Posted about it before but Southern "reformers" who wanted the peculiar institution to gradually fade away (by exterminating the blacks or deporting them to Africa) did claim Nat Turner and John Brown made them continue chattel slavery, yes.

she loving minimized the US treatment of natives to condemn israel last night, and she STILL thinks hamas is wrong!

lol. i love when people say this moral high ground type of poo poo. and what are they supposed to do it with that? Just wait and hope it all ends? not exactly how it works when you've been in an apartheid state for a whole generation

It is tragic, but it also shows how detached and how blind the average Israeli citizen has become to the suffering of the people of Palestine, when they think that it's a good idea to go to a rave in an occupation zone, outside the walls of the world's biggest open-air prison. While on the other side of the barbed wire there are 2 million people, penned up under some of the most inhumance conditions possible.

Would I feel sorry for German concert-goers, if they had become victims while attending a performance outside the Warsaw ghetto on the day of the uprising in 1944? Probably not.

In an ideal world the US would have long stopped funding an apartheid state and then we might have 2 nations and peace. Unfortunately we live in the worst possible future.

Hamas lost the moral high ground. Like Martin Luther King once said “something something time tables something another man’s freedom” which he probably meant setting a timetable for your freedom by non-direct action so your oppressors don’t get upset by too sudden of changes, I’m pretty sure

There's probably so many caveats about not being allowed to fund Hamas or anyone with a relative who has roomated with someone with links to Hamas that it's built one well and 20 awareness campaigns.

I think the US is pushing Israel into a ground invasion of Gaza because they are pissed off that Hamas ruined their normalization plans, and want hamas taken off the table so the saudis fall back in line.

I keep hearing this but I don’t see how any of this disrupts the timetable of “normalization,” the only person in KSA with a relevant opinion on “normalization” is MBS and he certainly doesn’t give a poo poo about Israelis or Palestinians so why wouldn’t he just forge ahead regardless?

Guardian has the full quote, as well as this bit about how israel is negotiating a prisoner swap of...women and children??! But why would the side with the moral high ground have women and children prisoners?? Buh?
"
The Reuters news agency reported that Qatar, which has mediated between Hamas and Israel in the past, was urgently working to negotiate freedom for Israeli women and children in exchange for the release of 36 Palestinian women and children from Israeli prisons".

yeah you might be right about this, public opinion is nonexistent in the gulf.

maybe seeing israel easily shattered by the poorest people on earth and that their spy software is a pile of dogshit basic malware might make someone think twice before betting on israel for protection, iran is more powerful is the message being sent.
