we could, ya know, cut all funding for our 51st state. if we had the balls.
what republicans in the house would do that? unless you want biden to withhold funding, which was what trump got impeached for
Cut the funds, problem solved.
This guy is going to wreck Biden's reputation, leading democrats to not go to the polls in the next elections and we'll end up with Trump for president again, fucking up democracy the world around.
I am so fucking sick of seeing this right-wing nationalist fuck's face who's been in power for as long as Putin since the days of Bush.
Lot of blood on that sadist's hands.
At what point does this become an Israeli issue rather than a Netanyahu issue?
I mean the country is a democracy, so it's not like Netanyahu waltzed in their and seized control. Israelis know what he is like and have kept him in power.
You can't say the same for Palestinians and Hamas. They haven't had an election for over 15 years.
Yet, when it comes to the collective pointing of the finger, Palestinians get all the blame for Hamas, and Israelis get none for Netanyahu.
And no, fwiw, I'm not an antisemite
Shocker that Israel isn't open to a two-state solution. It's almost like spending the past 57 years slowly annexing Palestinian land was a subtle sign that they intend to take all of it.
There's a reason Netanyahu put Tkuma in charge of settlement policy.
Not 57; 75. 57 years ago is just when they expanded to outside their official borders.
Yes, I was specifically referencing the 1967 war and that Israel has never since been content to stay within its borders.
I also believe the Nakba was a great crime but my point is that Israel was not even satisfied with the partition it received.
Their intent has always been to control the entire territory. "From the river to the sea" was Likud's founding platform before it was a chant for Palestinian rights.
I more meant the post-Nakba stealing of Palestinian land. The same things happening to West Bankers today happened has been happening to Palestinians in Israel since 1949 (not counting the Nakba because that's its own mess), is what I wanted to say.
Fuck these fools. It's going to take a major ass-whipping to get them to stop, then they'll cry antisemitism.
No surprise to anyone.
