I keep thinking how crazy it would be if an Arab country kept 2.3 million Jewish people in a cage, half children, cut off their electricity & water then indiscriminately bombed them. Beyond comprehension the anti-Muslim bigotry that makes the world applaud this as justified

Democrats were happy to have a Palestinian woman in congress until they found out she was the "Palestinians are human beings" kind of Palestinian and not just the "Look how diverse and inclusive Democrats are" kind.

Who fucking cares. Seriously. Who fucking cares. These are discussions that can be had *after* Palestine is free. And it will be a conversation had *by palestinians*. Your fake concern for these issues is nothing more than a "progressive" paint over continued imperialism.

Nikki Hailey in Israel scribbling "FINISH THEM"on the shells that the IDF is about to fire into Rafah in defiance of the International Court of Justice. Biden provided the shells, Republicans autograph them. The US political class is united in its complicity with this genocide.
