Eh, you're right. I got rinsed on this one. Lesson learned for the next time.
From Sen. Sanders statement:
An immediate humanitarian response is vitally important, but it is equally important for Israel to have a political strategy. It cannot bomb its way to a long-term solution. Such a strategy must include, as minimum first steps: a clear promise that Palestinians displaced in the fighting will have the absolute right to safely return to their homes; a commitment to broader peace talks to advance a two-state solution in the wake of this war; an abandonment of Israeli efforts to carve up and annex the West Bank; and a commitment to work with the international community to build genuine Palestinian governing capacity.
What is happening now is butchery, not the steps to a lasting peace. Every single person and nation can walk back from the brink of madness if they realize they are wrong and start the process to peace. Peace doesn't come at the end of a sword. It comes from an outstretched hand. Show these poor trapped people your humanity. Show them mercy in the face of crushing death and sow the seeds of a future both your children can live in.
This piece was published 4 days ago. Israel still has time to save 350,000 people dying in the rubble around them. There is always time to be human. There is always time for mercy when you were shown none.
So?
How the fuck does that stop anything? If I leave my phone at home I turn around and get my phone or I don't. It's not what is easier or how far I've driven. It's whether it's worth doing. In the case of saving the 330,000 civilians trapped in the rubble around the forces that have encircled them, then yes it's worth doing. Nobody gets to act like it's too late until there isn't a shred of hope for those people and the hearts that beat inside them.
Nobody gets to claim the moral high ground in sacrificing the lives of the people trapped where you decided to invade or Hamas decided to defend. You cannot beat monsters by being an equally gross monster. It only leaves us a world of dead civilians filled with awful monsters. You want to beat Hamas? You have to be better than Hamas. Sanders gets that. Why don't you?
Saving civilians is not a loss of progress. It's the first step toward it dude.
so none? Your saying the rockets have killed none?
and the number that you wrote please?
Maybe you should call up the Associated Press and have them correct the title. Would you call what happened to those people murder?
What the actual AI fuck?
This guy has three kids in college and no fucking bank accounts... Dude, is this guy congress Clarence Thomas? Fuck, it feels like these people are all body snatchers!
edit: a word
Lol, I will always support Ukraine, as the flag on my house that I've replaced 3 times now will attest to. Glory to the heros. No glory for you Grant or the terrorists you support. Slava Ukraine!
Israel has killed more civilians in a month. Thank you Grant. You proved my point.
How is Putin a terrorist?
Edit: I don't support Putin or Russia in the slightest, I was baiting out a genocide apologist above me to agree that murdering countless civilians is terrorism. If you support the wholesale murder of Palestinian civilians, go on and eat dirt. This has obviously confused some people and I'm sorry for that. It was not my intent to upset you and create a Poe's Law ouroboros.
"Boo, get off the stage Grant"
That man answers to none. Least of all Poe!
Maybe some brief notes on the Islamofascist scourge? Perhaps a post it on how to boost every comment that you'll ever make till the heat death of the universe...
Watching you humor is like seeing the hands of the maestro at work. It may be time to start adding the slash S, but I can't fully express how f***ing much I respect that you don't.
Or they're literal paid shills working in the name of nationalism and "diplomacy"
I don't know about that guy. There's soooo much weird stuff going on there. He uses such an odd mixture of words and lingo that it's like he's from 4 different countries sometimes. Always look at who upvotes him though. They certainly like what he has to say and they can't all be crazy.
It's fucking wild that people are just paid to shit post and troll in the defense of murder. I really dislike all of this. This whole time and place we're living in. If it's not the Correct the Record then it's the Russians. If it's not the Russians then it's the Hasbara. If it's not them, then maybe China, or a bot or an AI. The world's going nuts from social media and the rich trying to set everyone's brain on fire, and then there's this shit. How much more synthetic does the world need to be? How can these forces not understand they are engaging in evil shit, just for the sake of it!
"The diplomatic mechanism relies on the hasbara mechanism," he said. "Success in the war is reliant on this component. There's no alternative to the civilian abilities here and on social media. It's one of the most critical fronts right now."
Gitam Media Group CEO Ido Har-Tov told the meeting that his company had set up a 200-person situation room that was focused on creating hasbara content.
"We've begun to create between 40 and 50 videos a day," he said. "We have tens of millions of views. We can be the country's most significant tool in hasbara."
"Our goal is to explain to people how they can do [hasbara] themselves and explain how they help us become viral," she said. "The country, with all its complexity, doesn't have the tools to manage this fight. It needs to be done on the civilian level."
Buckle up baby, it's everyone's turn to drink from the fire hose.
"Good" article, thanks for posting.

Palestinian health officials say Israeli warplanes struck a refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 40 people and wounding dozens. Sunday's strike came as Israel vowed to press on with its offensive to crush the territory’s Hamas rulers, despite U.S. appeals for a pause in fighting to get aid to civilians.
Arafat Abu Mashaia, who lives in the camp, said the Israeli airstrike flattened several multi-story homes where people forced out of other parts of Gaza were sheltering.
“It was a true massacre,” he said early Sunday while standing on the wreckage of destroyed homes. “All here are peaceful people. I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.”

“I visited a school, hosting thousands of displaced persons,” Lazzarini continued. “The place was overcrowded. The level of distress and the unsanitary living conditions were beyond comprehension. Everyone was asking for water and food. Instead of being at school to learn, children were asking for a sip of water and a loaf of bread. It was heartbreaking.”

Israeli military strikes killed multiple civilians at a U.N. shelter and hospital in the main combat zone in Gaza.
Demonstrators are coming from across the nation to protest Israel's bombardment of the Gaza strip after Hamas attacks.
"The main goal of everyone right now is a cease-fire," Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told USA TODAY. "You can't do anything without a cease-fire − you can't do humanitarian aid, you can't treat the wounded, you can't even remove bodies until there's a cease-fire." "Nothing should get in the way of a humanitarian cease-fire."

Israel’s strike on the Jabalia refugee camp has led to more intense pushback from the Biden administration.
The Biden administration requested Israel detail the thinking and process behind the recent strike on the Jabalia Refugee Camp in Northern Gaza, according to a U.S. official, who like others was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.
"The U.S. asked for an explanation of the first [attack] on Jabalia," said the official, adding that the conversation was in the context of "asking Israel to do more to avoid civilian casualties."

The on-air outburst of grief by Salman al-Bashir seemed to channel the mood of all Gaza
“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.
“These protection jackets and helmets don't protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. ... We lose our lives for no reason.”
Palestinian health authorities in Hamas-controlled Gaza said Israel struck a convoy of ambulances on Friday that was to leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and head to the south of the enclave to evacuate injured people.
