Israel and their effectively unopposed genocide has a pretty damn good lead when you consider all involved, even over the any other active genocides, just because those are almost entirely ignored by everyone and no one can claim to not be aware of Israel's.
War doesn't have to be violent or negative. It could be more like a concert festival or a rave. With only good vibes. Lets get it together people and make it about love. For real.
Another factor that is extremely worrying is there will be another generation raised in that hell, traumatised and desensitised to the horrors with a hatred for Israel, the Jews and the West. It's almost like there is a concerted effort to keep that area of the world in perpetual turmoil, forever unable to get out of this cycle.
Fuck Israel with a rusty fucking spoon at this point. And also, can we get rid of vetoes at the UN. Almost every country in the world voted for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire last week, with the obvious objections being Israel and the US. Given that the US is funding and arming this genocide, why the fuck do they get to veto a call to end it? Would we allow Russia to veto a ceasefire in Ukraine? Of course not. The UN is fast becoming the joke people have always said it was.
The US controls the UN Security Council. They veto this shit and fuck over Palestine at every turn because they want the strategic advantage of Israeli alliance. The US has never given two shits about humanitarian efforts anywhere. It’s always been about power and position.
Only reason US sides with Israel is some biblical bullshit. "It's important to god," my evangelical mother tells me. I don't care. Fuck Israel. They're genocidal maniacs. Fuck them entirely. May they all burn.
Yes, we would in fact allow Russia to veto a ceasefire in Ukraine. It's because they're on the Security Council, the small group of countries with ultimate veto power. The UN is already a joke, and it has been ever since 2014 when they didn't remove a literal terrorist organization from the Security Council after Russia attacked Crimea.
Totally get that yes indeed Russia would absolutely be allowed to veto, but i feel like the rhetoric surrounding it if they did would be very different. And its different in that Russia is the aggressor in that conflict and in Palestine the US is a proxy. But yeah, the UN is absolutely a joke, nobody did shit about them annexing Crimea, did they think he would stop there? He wants the band back together, and wont stop until he gets it.
The UN became a joke the moment it gave VETO powers to select members. How do you have an international community working democratically when a handful of the big players can just nope the entire thing if they don't like it?
The veto powers make its entire premise a fucking joke. Like asking a capitalist to self regulate.
Then you have the worlds slow slide into fascism and Authoritarianism, meaning that a once reasonable majority can no longer be relied upon to be reasonable.
Agreed! Veto power is a joke. If any of the select members are the ones being the bad guy they can just veto any action against them, WTF?!?! Then you wonder why it feels like the rules based order is collapsing? Why should other countries follow the rules when the big boys aren’t?
Listen everyone in the states not freaking out about this, it shows that no one is gonna help anyone anymore and the world is in a bad spot. If this shit starts happening here, who do you think is gonna help us in any way if no one is helping the people there.
Any chance of free Palestine ended on Nov 5th. Even if you believe the US/Israel relations wasnt gonna change with Kamala, there still would have been some push back on Israel's genocide. Day 1 trump is gonna tell netanyahu to end it and then we will see some truly horrendous things that will make that past 14 months look like childs play. Even Biden severs all US ties with Israel today, it will not stop whats coming next month. Its over.
Don't sell bullshit. Any pushback worldwide is getting blocked by the US. US' response to ICJ warrant, "deeply concerned by the prosecuter's rush to seek warrants...". Fuck the US defending genocide and actively blocking international justice from intervening. Will it be worse under trump? Most likely, but it can not get much more worse than it is currently.
My expectations are nothing short of apocalyptic for the people of Gaza and the West Bank... my guess is the big change will be that the planes that drop the bombs dropped on the Palestinians will have USAF/USN roundels on them
I dont think US would get that involved or need to. Israel will just stop any and all aid going though the check points to slowly starve them out, then march from one end of southern gaza to the other, slowly pushing them to egyptian border. You will see emaciated skeletons of palestinians getting gunned by egyptian soldiers and the IDF as they are trapped with no way to go
Trump has suggested sending US planes with US pilots to support Isreal in their genocide. He wants a trump tower in the Gaza strip and netanyahu is happy to give it to him.
There was never going to be more than lip service to the crimes that Israel is committing regardless of who won the election. The US could have done a lot to stop the violence but instead has continued to supply the weapons that are being used to bomb Gaza and other points in that area
Israel has a pitiful fighting force that was overwhelmed by Hamas on Oct. 7th, they can't fight Lebanon on the ground or anyone else for that matter. The only way they can keep invading all their neighbors is because of all the bombs and long-range ordinance, which is not eternal and extremely expensive (they were crying to the US about running out of bombs just a month after Oct. 7th). They can't realistically keep up any of their violence without US support. They risk getting taken over.
"with Kamala, there still would have been some push back on Israel's genocide"
I also need to point out that both Biden and Kamala have not and will not push back on Israel. They have been their greatest allies, spreading misinformation their behalf (hoaxes like the "40 beheaded babies" or the "mass rape on Oct. 7th", for example), and lobbing Congress to give Israel as much as possible. You can't argue that they would "push back" when they've pushed in the other direction for over a year.
"overwhelmed by Hamas on Oct. 7th" so you have a very rudimentary understanding how Oct 7th happened "they cant fight Lebanon on the ground" almost the entire command chain of Hezbollah was taken out and degraded to the point they couldnt assist Assad when the Rebels made their push. "they cant realistically keep up any of their violence without US support" you have zero knowledge of the Israeli defense industry
Israel was bombarding their own citizens on Oct. 7th and using them as human shields. And they were only fighting small arm weapons, nothing fancy.
Israel bombs the place and then advance on the rubble. That's not on-the-ground fighting. Sorry. They play video games on the computer and call that fighting. If you meant to argue that they're great at shooting children and other civilians, sure, but they don't generally fight back.
Ended when Biden sent 14,000 2ton bunker busters to Israel, enough to bomb Lebanese civilians into a Hezbollah cease fire and drop more lbs of explosives on Gaza than were used by all sides in WW2, and counting.
They've dropped nearly 3x the ton equivalent of both nuclear bombs used on Japan (15,000 ton equivalent). Nearly the same 3x total London, Hamburg and Dresden combined...NOT the WW2 total, I stand humbly corrected for criminally f'd up reading (mis)comprehension. At a guess about 5million tons to 85,000 tons dropped on Gaza as of Nov. I can't find numbers for Lebanon or Syria.
"were used by all sides in WW2" yeah you are completely wrong. you are miss quoting the static from the articles that came out over the summer saying they dropped 70k tons of bombs which is more than Dresden, Hamburg, London combined durring WWII. Even if since then Israel dropped 200k tons total of bombs. which is less than 1/10th of what the allies dropped in WII (they dropped 2.7 million tons of bombs) state actual facts, you dont need to lie about what they have done
Trumps position isn't as cut and dry as Bidens; Biden is a zionist, and the entire democratic establishment are zionists. Trump is an opportunist, he'll do whatevers best for Trump; there is a world where the new Syrian government asks Russian forces to stay in country in exchange for defence against air and missile attack and Putin regards his bases there as both strategically vital and also a matter of national pride.
Right now there are 2 frigates and a sub about 14km off the Syrian coast 1/
If you're going to downvote at least nut up and make a counter argument, one based on facts and not "Trump evil", I'm aware he's evil, I'm also aware that evil to you isn't evil to everyone and painting him as on the wrong side of every argument from every perspective is intellectually comical.
I'll give you all some time to locate your testicles, if you can.
If they have to withdraw then they will have to withdraw either to the baltic or to Vladivostok; either way they will need a fleet tender because they've been sitting there at anchor for a week and modern ships keep the engines running to keep the lights and other electrical systems on.
Vladivostok is the preferred destination of two suboptimal options, he would much rather keep them where they are. Furthermore he'll need at least one LSD maybe two to pick up all their gear.
Offer was made, he'd be very likely to agree to it; and then the question becomes who owns the larger percentage of Trumps ass.
Putin or Benny.
My money is on Putin, I don't even think it's close, because if you analyse his actions in his first term in the middle east the main beneficiary was Putin and the only nod to Israel was the moving of the embassy which gets made way too much of.
It's an embassy, in a city that's been occupied for 70 years, it didn't trigger the flood of 3/
International acceptance that Israel hoped and the US media reported because to be blunt the US simply isn't that important anymore. By the time he did that, he had already alienated all of Americas allies to the point that they were all focused on stronger ties with regional allies than America, so no one followed suit and no one really cared.
The sum total effect of that move was to make Muslim extremists angrier and cause more Israeli and American deaths, that's all. 4
