Israel has sparked global outrage after dropping leaflets over the besieged Gaza Strip, warning Palestinians to either cooperate with its forces or face forced displacement or eradication. The messages, written in Arabic, carried explicit threats, including the chilling statement: “The world map will not change if all the people of Gaza cease to exist.”
The move, condemned as a psychological warfare tactic, has intensified concerns over Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, with many seeing the leaflets as an open admission of ethnic cleansing.
The threats also reference a so-called “Trump plan”, aligning with recent remarks by US President Donald Trump. who suggested the mass expulsion of Gaza’s population to neighbouring countries. The posters featured images of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity and wanted by the IC
Okay then stfu about Trump since you think he and Biden are equivalent.
You seem to have mistaken not materially different to Palestinians as equal to equivalent.
And that I didn’t talk about the bad stuff done by Biden and Obama, and the Bushes, and (the) Clinton(s).
Maybe if the Democratic party was more willing to make more materialistic changes we wouldn’t’ve had first Trump, let alone Trump 2. It is naive to hope that, and things for American sexual and ethnic minorities would be, generally, better under democrats. But they’re a holding pattern until the Republicans get in, and Dems don’t have people’s backs.
But my original point was that if you’re so blinkered to not even be able to understand why progressives and anti-imperialist would sit out of the 2024 election, you’re not going to be able to talk them round to vote for Your Guy™ if there is an election again in the future.
Rather than understand a dissenting point of view, you dismiss and villify people you should be trying to work with and understand.
Get friendly with Black Bloc and maybe we can all make things better for everyone at home and in the Middle East.
Don’t give a shit what you think. Biden was the most progressive president in 50 years and progressives vilified him with your fucking purity test. You’re getting exactly what you deserve.
I’m intrigued.
What five policies of Biden make him the most progressive president of the last 50 years?
I’ll do you better. Name a more progressive president in your lifetime.
Obama? Billy C.? Though maybe that’s my feels from being younger and less media savvy.
Though if I’m honest I don’t think any US president has been progressive.
They haven’t, neoliberalism is in opposition to genuine progressive policies. The closest we’ve gotten are piecemeal such as the ACA. Which, don’t get me wrong, was a phenomenal improvement over the previous healthcare system, but was still a Republican written bill and was only implemented due to the grassroots movements and organization that demanded concessions.
Biden, on the domestic front, was certainly the most progressive since FDR. Specifically when it comes to labor but also some debt relief. But the admin did a terrible job communicating this. Additionally, these policies, while they certainly have helped, were not enough to genuinely address the material needs of everyday Americans. People want radical change. Incrementalism has not stopped the working class from being squeezed between rising costs of living and stagnant wages. However, his foreign policy was far from progressive and deeply unpopular. If the campaign did progressive the radical progression change people wanted, as indicated at every opportunity, they would have been far far more likely to win
