Israel drops leaflets threatening Gazans to 'leave or die'
-
Essentially blowback for decades of US military adventurism in the region. Bin Laden's theory was that an attack that's big enough would cause the US government to overreact and overreach, imploding the American Empire because Americans wouldn't accept their civil liberties being taken away and Americans coming back from abroad in coffins.
Obviously Bin Laden was wrong about how much Americans would just be ok with everything the government ended up doing, and didn't achieve his stated goal.

You’re right, I probably should be!
There’s just so much else going on! Are Trump/Musk like actually subverting the government and triggering a constitutional crisis? Is he actually gonna follow through with the crazier plans like strongarming Canada or colonizing Gaza? Are we getting pulled into a war? Will there be an economic crisis from some huge dysfunction? I am worried because Trump genuinely doesn’t seem to grasp a lot of things, especially foreign policy or technical matters, and worst case scenarios are pretty bad.
Like, if you told me, with certainty, there was a high probability of another 9/11 this month, I would freak out… But it wouldn’t even snuff out all those other stuff going on! It wouldn’t be like a Bush moment that defines his presidency and the era, it would just turn into a big controversial mess.
If it’s more like a unabomber attack or a smaller scale thing, honestly, it would blend into the stream of shock news. Trump would probably blame it on Democrats and politicize it, and everyone would take the bait. That sounds horrible, but it’s plausible.

Nobody is silent about this what the fuck are you even talking about?
-
The amount I heard the word "genocide" was much higher in October 2024.

Russian propaganda, wtf. Newsflash Russia has good relations with Israel, not as subservient as the u.s., but they aren't really complaining about the genocide. I guess you just think that anything that's against the democrats is Russian propaganda, in which case I'd say your a good tool for democrat propaganda.
Made an edit since you people can't seem to take a short reply but I'll copy it here:
I try show some brevity once instead of writing paragraphs and get told I don't know my history, so here's some paragraphs.
Yes Israel has been carrying out a process of slow ethnic cleansing for decades. Biden while in congress along with all the other dems repeatedly backed arms sales to this apartheid state knowing it was going to kill Palestinians. The violence ramped up in 2023 as Israeli settlers committed pogroms against Palestinians, which is part of the reason hamas did oct 7th. During this time Biden did nothing to reign in the Israelis, and instead tried to throw it under the rug to get a deal with the Saudis to normalize relations. Then Oct 7th happened and Israel went on a full onslaught against Gaza, and to a lesser extent the west bank and Lebanon. Biden again did nothing to stop this and continued to give military aid and diplomatic support to Israel. By the end of his administration Gaza was uninhabitable. Now trump seems primed to allow Israel to finish what it started and complete the ethnic cleansing.

Really wishing Kamala won. She's much less bad. Still quite bad, but much less bad.
-
I’ve seen a couple of news articles saying the U.S. is setting itself up for another terrorist attack
But why would the trump administration want an excuse to declare martial law?
-
Biden could've vetoed the multiple aid bills that passed his desk with arms shipments to israel after oct 7th and after it became clear Israel was using this as an excuse to obliterate gaza.
He could've also enforced the leahy laws which prohibit arms shipments to countries that are suspected of using them for human rights abuses.
He didn't do either because he is a zionist who is fine with the genocide of Palestinians.

It's neat watching centrists get mad that trump is implementing their only policy.
-
Was she a presidential contender? The dems won't allow a progressive
-
You are literally saying "you're being quiet while throwing a tantrum". Which is it, am I being quiet or noisy? Or is this some sort of weird quiet tantrum?
Yeah, look at how effective your strategy of running from responsibility has been. You and the DNC's policy of blaming progressive voices IS what lost them this election. How about you keep doing that louder. Maybe you can go strike a deal with the Republicans to level just half of Gaza. Because that's what Democrats in Congress are currently talking about. They are pissed, not because they lost, but because their constituents are calling them demanding they do more.
-
Centrists have no other policy. They can't.
-
Following through on this threat would likely result in another Arab-Israeli war.
-
Where are you getting this? You're the only one mentioning Ukraine.
-
Tell me what Biden or Kamala would have done different?
This question was not answered.
-
Well, you were supporting it back then. Now that you've come around to opposing genocide, you're no longer getting pushback.
-
How much effort have you put in to voicing your concerns about the Uighurs, Sudanese, Congolese?
The US wasn't sending weapons to support those genocides for you.
-
Then I guess the election shouldn't have been a referendum on Palestine for anyone and Trump should have been stopped for all the things he's now getting away with.
-
Hi, I’m here to point out that those arms sales were designated by many Congresses going back decades
"That's the way we've always done it" is a shit excuse for genocide. But any excuse will do for the genocidal.
and the deals for them were not reversible by a presidential edict
The Leahy law is RIGHT THERE.
-
I do. Betting that Trump lied about something is usually a pretty safe bet to make.
