Palestine has lost my support.

I was watching CNN yesterday, and I was stunned. Images of civilians killed, homes occupied by armed militants, people fleeing in terror, with the anchor informing me that nothing like this has ever happened before in the conflict - I was horrified.

With the barbaric events of the past few days, i think Palestine has finally doomed its cause by alienating itself from reasonable progressives like me. It will soon find it has lost all its very real and meaningful support from other progressives in western countries, too.

It’s true, I may have never done anything tangible to stop my government from giving billions of dollars of weapons to israel - but sometimes I would shake my head when I saw a picture of a settler-colonial lynch mob killing Palestinians. Sometimes I would even hesitantly tweet “this is wrong” after watching an IDF sniper using kids as target practice.

But that ends today.

I am so horrified by today’s unprecedented events that even I, a deeply progressive person who definitely actually supported Palestine, am now willing to give Itamar Ben Gvir as many weapons as he needs to do what he wants with those degenerate Palestinian subhumans.

I’m sorry, but as an anti-war leftist I can’t support the murder of civilians, the expulsion of scared families from their homes, the taking of political prisoners, or the armed invasion of sovereign territory, which is why I will be switching my full-throated support to the IDF. I was talking with my fellow leftists on r/worldnews, and we all agreed (as people previously concerned with Palestinian rights) the only thing left to do is stand back and solemnly nod in approval as Israel tries to glass them. Hundreds of innocents have died, after all - clearly the ethnic cleansing of a city of two million people is the only proportional response left.

Prior to this, NPR-listening Elizabeth Warren voters like myself were coming around to the idea that Palestinians were also human beings, not just Arabs. But now? Forget about it. And without the valuable support of people like me, I just don’t see a future for Palestine.

The Palestinians messed up, big time.

Maybe I'm getting Poe's law'ed as hell but this is clearly satire.

Yeah but they don't treat them as a nation so they have no recourse to violence when subject to violence, unlike the STATE of Israel which is given that right.

Biden was interviewed as part of the investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified documents as VP:


https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/09/us/special-counsel-biden-interview.html

quote:

President Biden met over the past two days with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel investigating how classified documents improperly ended up at Mr. Biden’s home and an office he used after leaving the vice presidency, the White House disclosed on Monday.

“The voluntary interview was conducted at the White House over two days, Sunday and Monday, and concluded Monday,” Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, said in a statement.

The interview played out amid the dramatic events in the Middle East, as Hamas militants carried out a major attack on Israel and Mr. Biden met with his national security team and consulted with foreign leaders. The interview’s timing had been arranged several weeks ago, according to a person familiar with the matter.

they must have been pumped when the war in gaza kicked off and the media would care even less about the president being interviewed as part of a criminal investigation into mishandling classified documents.

Well, the good news for the 2024 convention is that they won't have to vote about jerusalem for the platform.

I didn't know that obama personally pushed for that, lol.

this is for class called "Anti-Money Laundering"

Among other points I said that the US could combat terrorist financing by not engaging in terrorist financing.

Israel only bombs terrorists. A "terrorist" is any male between the ages of 8 and 70, and anyone near anyone of that age.

There have been zero civilian deaths so far in the bombing of Gaza.

Everyone did in theory but there's just not much engagement outside niche communities on those sites, so the engagement starved blue checks basically all went back to Twitter but maybe simultaneously post to those other platforms.

There was a funny NBA social media thing where a guy posted a major trade about 15 minutes late to Threads because he forgot about it basically.

Yeah, I was also told that the Palestinians were just modern-day descendants of Philistines and Amalekites and other assorted baddies from the Old Testament who have been trying to steal rightful Jewish land and kill Jews for millennia.

It blew my mind when I learned that the Jews and Muslims got along relatively well for centuries until European Jews began settling the region in the late 19th century.

As an added lol look into how mizrahi (local Middle Eastern) and Ethiopian Jews get treated in Israel
