Exactly. Genocide was wrong then and it’s wrong now. It should not even be a question that we all condemn Hitler and his genocidal Nazi regime - just as it should not be a question that we condemn Israel and its genocidal Nazi regime.

The Holocaust of the Jews was a horrific, unforgivable crime. So too is the Holocaust of the Palestinians. This is non-negotiable for any person of conscience.

As an embarrassed American, I would urge you to boycott any remaining goods until such time as we’re not a Nazi shithole. Might be a while.

And U.S. consumers lose because, if there’s still anyone unclear on this, we pay the goddamn tariff and not a single person in Canada.

I won’t be satisfied that this attempt at fascism has collapsed until we no longer have plain-clothes, masked goons kidnapping people off the street.

You’re right. Imagining that Israel would ever comply with international law or abandon its long-term goal of colonizing the entire region is indeed a crazy thought.

Third day in a row, but fourth shooting this week. Israel first shot Palestinians at the aid point on 5/27, and then again the past three days.

Is this the fourth time in the past week that Israel has gunned down starving Palestinians?

Edit: Yes, the article confirms that this is indeed the fourth time in the past week that Israel has gunned down starving Palestinians at an aid point. Fucking ghouls. Hard to even keep track.

I saw a video last night of a father holding the severed torso of his maybe six year old daughter. She was cut in half by an Israeli bomb. How even 20% of Europe can still support this slaughter is beyond me.

The U.S. doesn’t even talk big on Ukraine anymore. Proposing a joke of a “peace plan” where Russia gets their land and we get their minerals. Insulting Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. The Ukrainians kept us in the dark on this one so Trump wouldn’t do any stupid shit like when he blabbed to Putin and got all our informants killed. Trusting the U.S. to do anything constructive on Ukraine would be a fool’s errand.

Opinion section of the newspaper, as in position pieces written by guests rather than reporting by news desk staff.

However, it is also a fact that Israel is committing war crimes up to and including genocide.

“Recommended by the UN” is the exact same fucking thing as “created by the west.” Who do you think holds and has historically held power at the UN besides all the same colonial powers of the west? An absurd lie to claim this distinction is a difference.

Nothing in this comment is racist. Israel colonized (and continues to incrementally colonize more of) Palestine. It is also committing genocide, according to a wide range of scholars on genocide. Therefore, it is a genocidal colony.

But while there is nothing racist in that statement, you are by contrast a despicable racist. Apologetics defending the ethnic cleansing and mass murder of children - slaughtering indigenous peoples in their homeland based on ethnic background - is as racist as it gets. Your defense of white supremacy is unforgivable.

You’d think North Korea would applaud the U.S. for continuing to bankrupt itself with a long series of expensive military follies.

You mean… exactly what they’re already doing and will definitely continue to do?

Yes.

Well, just last week, UK government lawyers were claiming “no evidence of genocide in Gaza” while defending the sale of military equipment that may flow to Israel, so the UK certainly seems to be talking out both sides of its ass. Or arse, as the case may be.

18 months of Israel’s indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians - mainly in Gaza but also increasingly in the West Bank by military forces and paramilitary “settlers” - and this looks like a pretty damn tepid response.

Better than nothing. But not much better.

Allow limited aid in for a week… then target and kill the aid workers (as they’ve been doing) and go back to intentionally bombing civilians (as they’ve been doing) with the end goal of eliminating the Palestinian people and completing the seizure of their land (which was their goal all along).

A lot of asterisks on anything they claim to do. Genocide is always the ultimate intent.

Dammit, I thought we’d always been at war with Eastasia.

Surely you could manage two middle fingers as long as you’re not in a sharp turn!

Yeah, the Colorado river is nuts. It’s crazy to think that the river that carved the Grand Canyon doesn’t even reach the sea anymore because it’s all used up along the way, mostly by the U.S.
