Oh absolutely. I was in one of the countries on that list. Only the rebels and army wore camouflage, and the police would demand you take it off or be arrested. They were serious, the war was not that long ago. It doesn’t matter if you have no other clothes, according to a local they’ll make a tourist go naked rather than allow camouflage.
I think you need to learn about the “Trolley problem,” and exactly why it’s a difficult choice. It’s not solely about which choice kills less people and if you think the solution is easy (and belittle anyone who says it isn’t) then you don’t really understand the entire problem.
Worse for Gaza in the short term, unquestionably. But rolling over and letting both parties demolish Gaza is not helping either. Biden was fine with the genocide, as long as it was slow and out of public eye; in the end he did whatever Netanyahu wanted and refused to put actual pressure on him. Even when he was VP he undermined Obama’s attempts to pressure Israel. Judge him by his actions, not whatever intentions you’re guessing at. Biden publicly threw away pro Palestinian votes and said he could win re-election without them. We warned him he was wrong, and he was.
There was no pro-terrorism cheering, Loomer is just making stuff up. Palestinians ululating to welcome children’s arrival must have set the racist off.
The IDF killed peacekeepers too. Somehow they got off.
70% of the buildings in Gaza were destroyed under Biden. The famine started under Biden. Harris said she would do nothing differently. Biden broke his promises to the Arab and Muslim communities, he ignored community leaders who warned him that his most reliable voting block would stay home, and Biden lied and said he heard them and would change course. He didn’t, despite losing all those votes in the primary.
Voting for Biden would have rewarded the bad behavior and send a message to all future democrats that you can take those votes for granted and still win. Not voting ensures that you’ll be taken seriously in future elections down the line. It’s a prisoners dilemma problem.
And yes, we all knew Harris is better than Trump. She threw away her own election rather than give a centimeter to help Palestinian voices. She wouldn’t admit Biden did anything wrong and that’s what cost her the millions of votes. She wouldn’t even let Palestinians endorse her at the DNC and tell everyone to vote for her. The fault is hers not any voters.
Yes, but Mamdani has shown his willingness to fight for us. Even if he can’t pull off all his agenda, it’s still better than the alternative candidates who won’t even try.
This is NOT “playing out like it would for decades.” Previously you’d be out on bail or released on your own recognizance. Trump’s administration has changed all that and requiring people to be imprisoned for weeks to months. This doesn’t benefit the taxpayer and is keeping visitors away, and damaging our own economy and costing us allies.
Should have but didn’t. That’s the objectionable part.
It’s not even a leak if Netanyahu is tweeting in Hebrew that he’s blocking all aid from entering Gaza.
Tanks rolled through Rafah and Biden claimed that it wasn’t an invasion so Netanyahu didn’t cross his “red line.”
It’s obviously worse than a war but they won’t call it an extermination.
Yes it is. We shouldn’t go back to lynch mobs. My city nearly beat a man to death in a case of mistaken identity.
Exactly. Trump won Michigan in 2024 by a margin greater than all the third party voters combined.
I sure hope he didn’t have a seizure while driving or something like it then.
But corporations don’t want to spend money on customers, so they’d rather keep customers on slow speeds and charge the same price.
That’s not quite the case. The mujahideen did splinter and civil war broke out, then the Taliban arose from the US+Pakistani training program from the Cold War with Saudi funding and steamrolled the factions taking over.
Nonsense. They also uplift people and do a lot of good in the world. Billions of people find benefits in religion. The problem is human nature.
Don’t say “religion” when you only mean Christianity.

His positions are actually quite in line with mainstream America. Most Americans now criticize Israel’s war on Gaza. Most Americans believe the rich are under-taxed. Most Americans believe the rent is too high. Mamdani is not the boogeyman that conservatives claim.
