Published date: 5 February 2025 02:09 GMT"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.
“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "
I bet someone in that shitty Trump family will be first to build and exploit.
Yes Kushner.
the geniuses who said “im not voting for Harris because of Palestine” must be feeling really smart right now
They still blame it on Biden and Harris.
One argument I see a lot is that it’s somehow Kamala’s fault by not trying hard enough to win their votes.They will tell you that this result was inevitable and to look at the positive side of things (what ever this may be). Which is easy to do or say since they are not Palestinians
Which means their protest votes were meaningless. So it’s a weird excuse that they’re making.
No, their protest votes were not meaningless
They actively put trump in the whitehouse.
The American electoral system gives a voter the choice of potentially improving things (Dem) or actively making things worse (Rep). Given FPTP and the heavy use of propaganda, all other options (spoiling, abstaining, third party voting) equate to a republican vote, there is no other reality.
If an American did not vote Democrat in the election that just passed, they voted for complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the gutting of human rights in the USA—they didn’t even try to hide what they were going to do this time. There is zero excuse.
Sorry, to clarify, I mean they were meaningless in terms of doing anything about stopping any genocide.
And now we can add more genocide in the U.S. to what is going on in Palestine.
Well in some twisted way. They might get a free out of open air jail card and start a new life somewhere else. So it was beneficiary for them after all.
Well, those who were payed to got their pay and don’t care, and those dumb enough to fall for their logic and regurgitate it will just pick up on whatever The Next Big argument being regurgitated is. Something something this only server to support my argument something something was needed to show how flawed the system was something something.
Harris got more votes than Biden did in the majority of the key swing states. Stop directing your anger at people other than those who actually voted for him.
Nope, people who stayed home instead of voting Democrat are worthy of anger too. Not voting has consequences.
This guy is an evil cunt. Prove me wrong.

To be clear, Trump is now openly promoting genocide. I considered this administration fascist up until now. Now, they full ass Nazis. Any American not going to the protests tomorrow and participating in a full on general strike is complicit with Nazis.
I’m certain this was exactly Kamala’s plan. She never said the magic combination of words that means she believes exactly what I want her to believe, so obviously this would have happened either way.
She said she would do nothing different. The genocide was obvious for months prior. Why would you continue defending this at this point? It’s been gross for over a year. Dems lost for many reasons, and on this issue it is fucking inexcusable.
Harris’s plan: Gazans continue to suffer with constant bombardments and crumbling infrastructure. The US offers minor humanitarian aid and pays lip service to their plight.
Trump’s plan: Extermination of all Gazans in a massive US-backed and Israeli-executed ethnic cleansing campaign in order to turn Gaza into a vacation spot for rich Israelis. Possible location for the next Trump hotel and casino.
Trump’s plan sounds a lot like what reality has been. Was he in the Biden administration?
She said she would do nothing different from Biden.
This is different from Biden. Very different.
Believe it or not, things can get worse even if they were bad before and pretending this was Harris’ plan as well is just silly.

Please quote me defending genocide. Unless that was just a lie to gain some kind of foothold in a silly internet argument.

That’s the edited version. In the original, you accused me personally of defending genocide. You know people can see you edited a comment with the pencil icon there, right?
It’s when your views align with “acceptable levels of genocide,” I think you’ve lost the plot and are not a voice someone should be listening to.

Seems like you’re very good at pointing fingers at the wrong people.
But have you considered that she was brat?
I want to see the convoluted logic the mental gymnasts who pushed forth against voting for Biden so Trump wouldn’t get elected on issues like Palestine come up with. It’s an art.
Anyone who voted for Biden is an absolute moron.
~…he wasn’t the candidate~
It’s an art.
It’s a standard and often-used propaganda tactic, popular with the Russians, among others.
“The world is getting fucked anyway, might as well join in doing the fucking.”
