    Can’t hear them over the sound of the bombs they send

    Edit: to everyone who upvoted the guy below and downvoted me, check their latest comment in the thread. In case they delete it:

    Well, you might recall that the funding was approved by Congress, and Presidents should be impeached and held accountable for overstepping those bounds, like how trump was impeached for withholding aid to Ukraine in 2016. Furthermore, Israel is a long term ally, who suffered a brutal terrorist attack in October, and they are in a precarious situation, as their neighbors are not found of their existence, so we have to toe the line between supporting our ally, but also resist genocide and ethnic cleansing. Turns out, geopolitics is not simple.

        There’s an ongoing ceasefire, trump is all words, but you’d know better if you actually cared about Palestinians more than performatively. The daily deaths are much lower so far than under democrat administration. This is surely not thanks to trump’s good desires for Palestinians, he’s as much of a genocidal ghoul as any American politician, but the numbers are the numbers

          If you had a working memory, you’d recall that trump has been calling Bibi and torpedoing ceasefire and foreign aid talks.

          Also, there are a lot fewer Palestinians in Gaza left to shoot, so it would make sense that the numbers went down.

          Oh, and the current ceasefire was negotiated by the Biden administration.

          But you’d remember all that if you cared “more than performatively.”

            Source? I feel like you just make this up. It was enacted literally the day before the inauguration wasn’t it? Why enact a ceasefire the day before the inauguration of your political opponent after 2+ years funding the genocide and talking about Pissrael’s right to defend itself and arresting students at campuses for protesting a genocide?

            Also, there are a lot fewer Palestinians in Gaza left to shoot, so it would make sense that the numbers went down.

            God you guys are fucking vile, trivialising stuff like that and pulling out bullshit arguments. The ceasefire is ongoing, that’s the reason why orders of magnitude people are being murdered, not a lack of Palestinians to be genocided. Nazis ramped up their industrial elimination of “Untermenschen” when they saw they were losing, despite “fewer left to shoot”.

              Pop quiz… Who was the president the day before Trump was inaugurated in 2025?

              Why enact a ceasefire the day before the inauguration of your political opponent…

              Maybe because the preservation of human rights and life should be pursued regardless of who the President will be tomorrow?

                So how is that compatible with the 2+ years of funding and supporting genocide?
