Israel Bombed Lebanon Today, Killing Hundreds. The U.S. Is Sending More Bombs.
Israel Bombed Lebanon Today, Killing Hundreds. The U.S. Is Sending More Bombs.
Weapons used in earlier Israeli strikes into Lebanon that have killed civilians have been found to be U.S.-made.
Lebanese civilians and Lebanese homes are Hezbollah. It worked in Gaza, why wouldn't it work in Lebanon.
If you're not careful, you will be Hezbollah too.
Journalists and UN workers? That's right, Hezbollah
You know what would to be really, REALLY uncomfortable?
If Harris loses, there's a strong chance that it might be over this terrible war. What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency.
What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war unchanged.
FTFY
Red and blue serve the same interests
Israel wants Trump. They know that Trump will supercharge their campaign and they are counting on Jill Stein to siphon off votes from Harris. That's why they've upped their campaign like this. They are goading Stein to get more press and convince more liberal voters. Because they know that, due to the significant democrat base that unreservedly supports Israel no matter what they do, Harris will never pull her support while campaigning but they are sure that if she wins Biden and she will start playing hardball to get them to stop and they don't want to stop, they want to wipe out all Palestinians. This has been a stated goal of theirs. And Trump and the Republicans will help them do it more than Harris will.
I'm sorry, but this narrative so completely exonerates Biden and Harris for their direct responsibility for risking the election over this.
The notion that Harris is in a bind is an absolute fiction. The overwhelming majority of Americans want an arms embargo with Israel. It has broad bipartisan support, including with an overwhelming majority of Democrats. And in top of that, she chose to not even let a popular Palestinian American lawmaker from Georgia give a vetted speech endorsing her at the DNC.
She is risking this election. That is a personal choice. I hope she wins, but if she loses because she didn't have votes she made clear she doesn't want, that is not on Jill Stein, that's a Harris decision.
The harris campaign is openly hostile to the anti-war anti-genocide vote. They are not interested in trying to get our votes. If they make the calculation that they need the anti-war vote to win they will try to appeal to us but they have decided (so far) that they don't want us and don't need us.
Don't blame us for not voting for a candidate who doesn't want our vote and is actively hostile to our position.
So you have three options, all having a bad outcome on the most important thing you care about.
One of the options maybe has better outcomes on some other things you care about.
Another option has bad outcomes in almost everything you care about, plus maybe even a worse outcome to your most important thing.
The third option is to leave it up everyone else to pick between the first two.
I know what I'd pick, what will you do?
I agree with all of that. Except for the part about possibly appealing to the anti-war voter if it would help them win. There are some -- Biden for instance -- who clearly would rather lose than do that. I don't know Harris well enough to judge.
I think it's sad that people complain when someone says that they won't vote for the lesser of two evils. It's sad because it shows a profound misunderstanding about how democracy is supposed to work, and what they're entitled to demand from their fellow citizens.
The largest voting block in every election is the depressed voter. And the reason is that our system is constructed to favor a broken two-party system even at the expense of civil participation that can solve our problems. Millions of people don't vote because they see no benefit in doing so. The problem to be solved is that the political system has failed these people, not that they aren't showing sufficient enthusiasm to do paperwork to satisfy the demands of people who feel invested in the outcome of elections.
The media falsely claims that each candidate has 47% support when really they each have about 30% support, and a larger number of people have not felt any interest in supporting either candidate. That's a massive failing in reporting and political process.
unchanged
Getting worse means changes are required... Trump wouldn't make anything better but there is no reason to suggest Harris wants to make things better.
News are reporting 50 dead children
So a slow day for Israel
WWW3 when?
Late October, Netanyahu will do whatever he can to help Trump win.
Let's not forget that they bailed on ceasefire talks a few weeks ago because former president, and private citizen, Donald Trump violated the Logan Act by calling Netanyahu and telling him not to accept the ceasefire.
As soon as they produces enough weapons and brainwash enough people for it
We didn't call WW1 a world war until america joined 3 years into the European war. The second world war wasn't called that until after the war had formally ended. Who knows.
I really hope US citizens start protesting in grand scale because of this. I hope they have it in them.
We do not
I'd like to see mass protests in Israel
Lol. Can't even protest to save our own damn selves.
Well, we wouldn’t want them to run out I guess. /s
Cut your nose to spite your face then. You'll keep paying for genocide even if you won't "vote for it."
The things you can do are support groups and politicians that will push the country in the direction you want it to move. Really think about what action (or inaction) does for the things that matter to you. You have an opportunity to do something to help reduce overall suffering and make the country and world a slightly better place.
Keep fat loser hitler out of office, squelch the attempted insurrection from his loser brigade, and bust the absolute balls out of the saner party to get ranked choice voting implemented so we can have more substantial changes.
This is the way.

So voting the greens is good because they're moving the country in the direction of non-genocide? I'm European myself, but I don't see how anyone could vote for the party whose candidate, during an ongoing genocide, says that "defends the right of Israel to defend itself" and claims that the US should have "the most lethal" fighting force in the world. Not most efficient, not most effective, not best funded: most LETHAL.
