Sure, then: Designed to conflate non English speakers with illegal immigrants. Still racist.
But even ignoring the hyperbole (ie never again = much less) it is still clearly implying that people who don't speak English are illegals. Of course that is dehumanizing. And obviously false, designed to conflate non English speakers with people who crossed the border illegally.
Since when are illegals the only people who don't speak English?
They're not.
So if you think deporting "illegals" will mean you don't have to hear any Spanish etc, you are actually conflating this with deporting basically all foreigners and that is racist. All foreigners are not "illegals"
The US set out specific criteria, such as 350 aid trucks need to enter every day.
This is what makes this especially infuriating. If you wanted to just say it's fine in a month as long as they "tried," don't put a firm number on it. If you do put the number and yet you don't care whether they actually meet it, you are treating us all with absolute contempt. Like we're fucking morons who don't understand how numbers or concrete demands work.
And that's before we consider the moral implications. Did Biden stop caring whether people are starving in the past month? There is no excuse and I hope he ends up on trial for his role in this before he dies.
Ah so you're a troll
I agree. It's just not relevant to this discussion
Why would you assume I thought Trump was going to change anything?
Yes, let's. Or is he not president anymore? Who the fuck else should we blame
The US is a fucking joke. Biden should be ashamed of himself
Of course "70% of the victims are either children or women" sounds horrible
That's because it is horrible. The vast majority of Israel's victims are innocent and that includes adult males, the vast majority of whom are also innocent.
I meant to comment on the data in the context of 'biggest bar'
I didn't even pay attention the post title for some reason, I just went straight to the graph! But yeah the population pyramid shows the issue with that claim.
Anyway, no worries and no harm done! I appreciate the clarification
Important points! It was just an off the cuff comparison
IMO, it's not a great data set to claim Israelis are intentionally targeting children, but it is pretty good for saying they are not intentionally targeting military-age men.
Agree completely. I don't think they're intentionally targeting children but it does not look like they are targeting any subgroup in particular.
My original intent was just to say it looks pretty close to what you'd expect if you just dropped bombs at random. I might look to find better data later on
Unfortunately the genders are on opposite sides here but compare these two graphs and tell me the bombing is not indiscriminate
It's been over a year since Israeli government officials announced that they were going to starve Gaza. They hold up aid for no reason. They massacred people collecting flour. They destroyed aid convoys they knew about and coordinated with. They have been doing exactly what they said they would and all America has done is make them pinky swear it would get better.
They will do nothing about this. Not because they will believe the lies Israel tells, but because they fundamentally do not care.
I really didn't.
Edit: meaning I am not American and if I was I would have voted Harris, not that Trump is not significantly worse.
Over 50% of the god damn country voted for a man who has so many major, should-be career ending flaws we don't even need to list them anymore. If he kicked a puppy it wouldn't even make the top 10 worst things he's done. The democrats lost to the stupidest president of all time, a man who's entire economic policy revolves around tariffs that he fundamentally doesn't even understand and who cannot seem to open his mouth without lying.
....and you're here dunking on the people trying to oppose America's blatant complicity in genocide. Well, you sure showed them.
"Yes, my candidate is Mussolini, but her opponent is Hitler! Clearly a vote for Mussolini is better than a vote for Hitler!"
Why would you be criticising Mussolini if you didn't secretly want Hitler to win?! I cannot possibly come up with any other explanation. You must be trying to trick us.
You mean antagonizing European football fans can result in violence?
So it is going to be incredibly expensive to remove immigrants and... err.... reduce GDP? This is the man America trusts with the economy because something something tariffs something something eggs
Masters of War
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
While the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatenin my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
Israel’s Self-Destruction: Netanyahu, the Palestinians, and the Price of Neglect
Netanyahu, the Palestinians, and the price of neglect.
Archive: http://archive.today/Zm9yl
>One bright day in April 1956, Moshe Dayan, the one-eyed chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), drove south to Nahal Oz, a recently established kibbutz near the border of the Gaza Strip. Dayan came to attend the funeral of 21-year-old Roi Rotberg, who had been murdered the previous morning by Palestinians while he was patrolling the fields on horseback. The killers dragged Rotberg’s body to the other side of the border, where it was found mutilated, its eyes poked out. The result was nationwide shock and agony.
>If Dayan had been speaking in modern-day Israel, he would have used his eulogy largely to blast the horrible cruelty of Rotberg’s killers. But as framed in the 1950s, his speech was remarkably sympathetic toward the perpetrators. “Let us not cast blame on the murderers,’’ Dayan said. “For eight years, they have been sitting in the refugee camps in Gaza, and before their eyes we have been transforming the lands and the villages where they and their fathers dwelt into our estate.” Dayan was alluding to the nakba, Arabic for “catastrophe,” when the majority of Palestinian Arabs were driven into exile by Israel’s victory in the 1948 war of independence. Many were forcibly relocated to Gaza, including residents of communities that eventually became Jewish towns and villages along the border.
>Dayan was hardly a supporter of the Palestinian cause. In 1950, after the hostilities had ended, he organized the displacement of the remaining Palestinian community in the border town of Al-Majdal, now the Israeli city of Ashkelon. Still, Dayan realized what many Jewish Israelis refuse to accept: Palestinians would never forget the nakba or stop dreaming of returning to their homes. “Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs living around us,’’ Dayan declared in his eulogy. “This is our life’s choice—to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down.’’
>On October 7, 2023, Dayan’s age-old warning materialized in the bloodiest way possible.
....
>October 7 was the worst calamity in Israel’s history. It is a national and personal turning point for anyone living in the country or associated with it. Having failed to stop the Hamas attack, the IDF has responded with overwhelming force, killing thousands of Palestinians and razing entire Gazan neighborhoods. But even as pilots drop bombs and commandos flush out Hamas’s tunnels, the Israeli government has not reckoned with the enmity that produced the attack—or what policies might prevent another. Its silence comes at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has refused to lay out a postwar vision or order. Netanyahu has promised to “destroy Hamas,” but beyond military force, he has no strategy for eliminating the group and no clear plan for what would replace it as the de facto government of postwar Gaza.
>His failure to strategize is no accident. Nor is it an act of political expediency designed to keep his right-wing coalition together. To live in peace, Israel will have to finally come to terms with the Palestinians, and that is something Netanyahu has opposed throughout his career. He has devoted his tenure as prime minister, the longest in Israeli history, to undermining and sidelining the Palestinian national movement. He has promised his people that they can prosper without peace. He has sold the country on the idea that it can continue to occupy Palestinian lands forever at little domestic or international cost. And even now, in the wake of October 7, he has not changed this message. The only thing Netanyahu has said Israel will do after the war is maintain a “security perimeter” around Gaza—a thinly veiled euphemism for long-term occupation, including a cordon along the border that will eat up a big chunk of scarce Palestinian land.
>But Israel can no longer be so blinkered.
