I’m interested to see the replies. We have one side that says Palestinians are victims and have never done anything wrong. And one side that says Israel is righteous and has never done anything wrong. And both: if you don’t agree with me, you’re an ignorant naive complicit fool. And on it goes.

You’re so deep into your own issue (with which I don’t disagree, btw), you don’t see that embracing it would have cost more votes than it gained. Electoral victories are made with coalitions, not absolutists. And even worse, of the two people likely to win, you chose the worse for yourself 🤷‍♂️

If you could please explain what is inaccurate about my observation I’d love to hear it. I’m looking at the election results in MI and the continued statements from single issue pro Palestinians. Israel is committing war crimes.

This is really funny as it exposes your ignorance. Only a small part of Build Back Better was about infrastructure. Nice try tho ignoramus.

Clearly you did not read Build Back Better as it was only partly to do with construction and a lot to do with energy, manufacturing, social policy… You just like to complain.

“They couldn’t get it done” 🙄 WE couldn’t get it done. You blame the entire party for Manchin and Sinema. Even now what’s happening isn’t because of Dems, it’s because of Rs, who, you may have noticed, have the majority.

I might believe the concern about environmental toxins more if they weren’t terminating EPA research grants, proposing to roll back the Mercury and Air Toxics rule, promoting coal and killing renewables, etc. Watch what they do, not what they say. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Ah. I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying. Seems like it’s always been the same — elected in 30’s, serve until death — but now people are living 10-20 more years.

Seeing as how the House, Senate, and Presidency have all swung back and forth over the last 40 years… no the same majority has not been in charge. Bush crash Clinton recovery. W crash Obama recovery. Trump crash Biden recovery. Trump II crash… Dem ‘28 recovery.

Steve Rule: attack allies instead of the enemies who are doing the harm. Go join Hamas and help wipe Israel and Jews off the map “from the desert to the sea”. That is genocide. It is their widely publicly stated goal.

See? Nuance is dead 🤷‍♂️ Israel is in the right (to exist, to defend themselves) AND they are committing war crimes. Really not that difficult to understand. I see that deliberate misinterpretation and unpleasantness is your thing. Do better Blocking now

Name the blatant lie. Who is committing genocide? Who has sworn to commit genocide? Nuance is the opposite of absolutism. Name one good thing Israel has done. Name one bad thing Hamas has done. Name on bad thing Palestinians have done. Do you think murder is ok?

BajaKeweenaw @bajakeweenaw.bsky.social · 23/05/2025
What Dem that says opposing genocide is the new nazism? Not a challenge — please explain My complaint is the lack of nuance. Yes Israel is in the right, and yes Bibi / IDF is committing war crimes And yes the only genocide called for in the region is destroying Israel “from the river to the sea”

It’s just a sample and not statistically significant, but it’s not without meaning that so far 17 people have liked my comment and none have liked yours, and that your comment “that’s not what he’s doing” is not accurate. Also just go away.

You are expanding a simple factual observation into a larger issue. You seem to be arguing that I support the military industrial complex, endless war, and believe every word the military says 🤷‍♂️ Go argue endlessly with someone else, I’m not interested.

AGW is my thing. Our military budget is bloated beyond necessity. They are huge polluters of noise, toxic chemicals, CO2. Getting off FF will realign geopolitics and save money and the planet. They lie. AND co2 from all flight and military is not the easier or best way to reduce emissions.

I like NRDC and Center For Biologcal Diversity. We run a local 501c3 since 1992 — all volunteer so every dollar donated goes to land acquisition. Done about 6,000 acres so far.

Again, I don’t disagree writ large. And I’d say attacked since 1948. But/ and it’s not credible to say Israel is error free.

BajaKeweenaw @bajakeweenaw.bsky.social · 23/05/2025
If you think Israel is in the right, we agree. If you think they have committed no errors, no atrocities, we do not agree. Come on, admit it. Get real. Be credible.

BajaKeweenaw @bajakeweenaw.bsky.social · 23/05/2025
Don’t need to argue. The excessive deaths are real. Not 14,000 (which I wasn’t referring to) —is it 100? 500? You lose credibility when you can’t find some fault with the actions of Bibi and the IDF I’m your ally here The only genocide planned is to erase Jews/ Israel “from the river to the sea.”

Welcomed to the US, a country of many peoples and interests, and make their single issue the reason we lose democracy, the rule of law, facts, science, the planet. Kind of the opposite of garnering support. I care about the war crimes against Palestinians DESPITE the advocacy here, not because of.

Also, what straw man? If you’re saying that you do NOT think terrorism has been effective in solving the Israeli Arab conflict, we agree. It is what my original comment said. You insist on misinterpreting my words then arguing with that straw man… Blocking now. Next time don’t project.

BajaKeweenaw @bajakeweenaw.bsky.social · 22/05/2025
So which were the Jews and which were the Arabs in that? My comment was, for the 3rd time, about the Arab Israeli conflict. It was made in a thread about that conflict. You chose, erroneously, to broaden it into something I did not say, despite polite correction. Not sure what your point is 🤷‍♂️

BajaKeweenaw @bajakeweenaw.bsky.social · 22/05/2025
The OP is about the conflict between Jews and Arabs. Terrorism has not solved it. It has created generation after generation of hatred. If you think terrorism has been an effective means of solving the Arab Israeli problem, we disagree.

Murder is also effective. I don’t advocate either. Do you wish Gandhi and MLK had used terrorism? They could have. How would the aftermath be different? Coercion, aggression, torture, murder… just what are you advocating for?
