Remember the morons who said back in December that bypassing #congress to give arms to #Israel unconditionally would make it more compliant with #US demands?
Two more #US officials resign over #Biden administration’s #genocide in #Gaza, accusing the administration of lying about Israel’s obstruction of aid to Palestinians
@GM7077@israel@palestine@figstick Right. That's why I'm going to stand back and let Trump win. At least he'll be better for he Palestinians by publicly announcing at he's holocausting them instead of hiding it. A shame for the American black people, American women and American LGBT people, but who cares about a few million deaths in exchange for moral superiority?
I know the Brits aren't very enthused by the idea of #nationalservice, but as an American I've always admired countries with the maturity and wherewithal to implement it. We couldn't even dip our toes into universal health care (ACA) without sparking a national anti-government rebellion.
Service implies willingly doing what you believe will benefit others. Force tends to build an unhelpful resentment.
The number of my peers who did National Service in the 50s and saw it as a wasted time interrupting their work, education and social life made me very relieved I escaped it. 18-20 were foundational years for my generation. A generation that used those years to put flowers rather than bullets into guns.
Half the generation were excused. Now sexual equality will close that off.
It's probably best not to trust any Israeli voices on the state of things in #Israel or #Gaza. Even this Israeli "scholar," who admits that Israelis are almost unanimously pro-genocide, is pushing the "sexual violence" lie about Oct. 7.
