To this sentiment I’ve never seen a good argument as to why it’s not endorsing genocide like Biden is out and about supporting Israel a vote for him is a vote for his policies no?

History has been incredibly kind to the fomentors of moral panics. No one paid a price for the Satanic Panic of the 80s--Janet Reno sent innocent people to jail in Miami and went on to be atty general; Oprah became a billionaire. Fomenting moral panics is incredibly lucrative and mostly risk-free

You really need to do away with this idea that the isreali government sees any difference between hamas and the rest of the Palestinian population. Every single Palestinian, regardless of age, is a hostile combatant to IDF. They will not stop until they're all dead.

As a historian, I cannot help pointing out that, once upon a time, in 2008 to be precise, it was possible for Vanity Fair to publish a lengthy exposé on US government involvement in the horrible mess that brought Hamas to power in Gaza. archive.vanityfair.com/article/2008...
Vanity Fair has obtained confidential documents, since corroborated by sources in the U.S. and Palestine, which lay bare a covert initiative, approved by Bush and implemented by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams, to provoke a Palestinian civil war. The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with new weapons supplied at America’s behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power. (The State Department declined to comment.)

But the secret plan backfired, resulting in a further setback for American foreign policy under Bush. Instead of driving its enemies out of power, the U.S.-backed Fatah fighters inadvertently provoked Hamas to seize total control of Gaza.

US politics and media in a nutshell: Much of the center left denounced far left social media posts and student organization statements, the center right increasingly acquiesced to a far right insurrectionist liar as Speaker, and the main takeaway is the left needs to do more to police its extremes.

American politicians - including the President - should be asked to condemn anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian violence in the same way they've been expected to condemn Hamas.

Colonizers are always terrified that if they lift their boot off the neck of the people they are oppressing that they will be treated the way they treat others, and it's like, no, not everyone wants to subjugate others. That's a you thing.

a six year old boy was stabbed 26 times by a man who had once built him a treehouse. every person who promoted the "day of jihad" shit or explained that "actually you have to kill kids in Gaza to really be safe" or only featured IDF interviews on their news channel is partially responsible for this.

Gosh, what a coincidence how a mercenary hacker decided to hack climate advocates just for fun and the fruits of that were used by Exxon Mobil to deter state AG investigations and influence judicial proceedings. Surely nothing here for the DOJ to investigate.

Anyone who "clings" to this ideal and wishes all children to be "safe" MUST NOT TURN AWAY from the truth of what has happened and is happening. You cannot afford to be "ignorant", to be "not an expert". Ignorance won't save you.

A circle: 0. Israel restricts economic movement of goods & materiel to Gaza, 1. Hamas creates & maintains clandestine logistics to transport goods and materiel & charges little ppl in Gaza fee to use it, 2. Hamas & its higher echelon gets enriched from Israeli restrictions and uses it to conduct

One thing that should be said in regards to Israel and Palestine is how Israel as the oppressor has selected for violent groups to lead by not actionably engaging with peaceful movements for Palestinian liberation out of a desire to not legitimize the Palestinian state and people

In the hands of the biggest media corporations, the term 'diversity' has become a poison pill. A way to silo and minimize the contributions of the historically marginalized. There are *real* books and 'diverse' books, which you can safely ignore. At conferences, real panels and 'diverse' panels. Etc

Bro excitement over “AI” art strikes me as another example of the notion that an “idea” is worth more than execution, as in “I’ll give you my idea, you write it, and we’ll split the proceeds 50/50.” Ideas are cheap. The execution of ideas is the part that takes skill, & skill that makes great art.

Hard to think of a better example of the Republican mindset than Steve Scalise denouncing masks as "political theater" at the height of the pandemic and then wearing one behind closed doors when he's personally vulnerable from cancer treatment.
