    The article is from December 2nd, though maybe the conference is from much earlier, so barring that… The fucking UN said on September 16th that “Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip.” It’s absolutely infuriating that people are still viewing this as something controversial or debatable. I was naively hoping that once the UN used the big G word (genocide) that more moderate politicians (being incredibly generous calling them moderate) would finally start acting like it’s a genocide.

    61 million tons of rubble was just made up. It’s all styrofoam brought there by Iran.

      I know the topic at hand is not funny but the image of huge, bouncy, floaty syrofoam buildings being dropped rom the air onto Gaza is very funny to me.

    So who should we be trusting? Billionaire-owned mainstream media? AIPAC-funded politicians? Because surely they wouldn’t be unbiased and would never try to push an agenda. Lol GTFO!

    They’re just butthurt that their shitty attempts at cramming their agenda down everyone’s throats is finally starting to show cracks because they can’t hide the truth anymore. The more they double down on their bullshit, the more ridiculous they look.

      No no no; politicians in this country are used to being able to lie with impunity and have the backing of the state enforce their positions.

      Why do you think there are suddenly 19 new/resurrected Internet bills that are like “the government needs the ability to monitor and record and totally ban every click and pixel of every American at all times of all devices without warrant or question FOR THE CHILDREN”

      Yeah it’s because they realize they’re cooked.

      Why do you think there is always suck outrage at “TikTok”? For all the reasons it sucks, they had far less control over TikTok than the other platforms, and it scared the shit out of them.

      America has been using our labor and wealth to do genocide and imperialism since the fall of the Nazis (edit:’far longer at home but we weren’t such prolific exporters until then) and they have mostly kept the wool over our eyes, but their little project has gotten out of hand and now it’s too ridiculous to hide.

      They would rather imprison us all than to fail, and it seems they’ll fucking try.

    OK, isn’t this literally a conspiracy pushed by far right Israeli politicians who openly call for the genocide of the Palestinians?

    Yeah, it couldn’t be the UN-confirmed genocide, nor the IDF-sanctioned videos of complete devastation, nor the steady wash of articles from journalists with decades of experience confirming utterly inhumane practices around aid distribution, rules of engagement and civilian deaths. Couldn’t be.

      UN-confirmed

      In case anyone misread that, they mean the United Nations (UN) confirmed it.

      Yes, it’s a genocide. Genocide is bad. It’s not that fucking complicated.

    I’m sorry, but what the actual fuck?

    Why does she need to say that?

    And why is every democratic presidential nominee like this?
