Israel/Palestine

[japhy]

Egypt doesn't want them. Jordan doesn't want them.

Maybe we can pay El Salvador to take?

Just kidding, ship them to Michigan.

What's not to like about Gaza becoming, as Trump described it, the "Riviera of the Middle East"?

But, at least Kamala didn't win.

Not one giggle= WINNING!

holy shit you guys.

I really do wish we could just look forward on this issue, but here we are again.

A word of advice, though - of all the threads in which one could demonstrate the "both sides" argument is "dumb" and demonstrate how Dems really are different than Pubs, this is NOT the best one to demonstrate it.

The "Palestinians worst nightmare" really is a both sides thing. Since 10/7, look how many weapons packages afforded to Israel were approved by Congress with bipartisan support.

And as gross as it is to hear Trump talk about displacing Gazans and Egypt and Jordan not wanting them, realize that in this very thread I posted articles about how Egypt and Jordan did not want displaced Palestinians back when Biden proposed it in October 2023.

Then realize the history of displaced Palestinians into places like Egypt and Jordan goes back for years and decades before either Trump or Biden.

And just like you want to scapegoat me for voting third party in a state that was sure to otherwise go solid blue (yet somehow not scapegoat not the other posters on this board who did the exact same thing), I too am tempted to scapegoat establishment Dems for downplaying Gaza when a better stance on Gaza just might have otherwise been the difference between a Harris W.

But, what good does scapegoating do either way?

Either way, and going forward, I am least hopeful that more concern for Gaza at this point might be a good thing.

The point is to keep going forward.

and, going forward, I hope others will agree it's a good thing Dems are trying to place a hold on this latest round of weapons to Israel.

What Donald Trump is OPENLY proposing would be considered ethnic cleansing if done by any other country.

there's little if anything to like about it.

but these sorts of rebuilding ideas for Gaza have been around a long time before Trump ever said it.

and maybe Kamala WOULD have won if she wasn't already so responsible for the demolition of Gaza in the first place.
