I mean I hate to say this but it doesn’t look like Blinken is representing U.S foreign policy. Actions speak way louder than words.


Um, it’s safe to assume that the terrorists would be the ones dragging their feet and spoiling any attempt at a ceasefire.

Sometimes one party actually is the unreasonable a-hole.

Oftentimes the stubborn instigator of an a-hole is readily apparent based on their unreasonable behavior.


I mean you really think you can defend Netanyahu??? Is there a bigger a-hole in the ME than Netanyahu? I don’t think so.


DP.

Bashar al Assad would like a word

I think it’s weird to limit this to Netanyahu.

The reality is all the countries have teams of negotiators trying to rein this in.

If Blinken publicly stated that all fault falls on the terror group called Hamas if the negotiations break down, then it’s true. And it’s not a leap. No rational person could believe that the terrorists are going to want peace.

Have any of these spoiled college students volunteered to go staff a delivery of humanitarian aid? Have those protesting investments in Google stopped using gmail? I cringe every time one of the student protestors is interviewed - they sound like such idiot puppets. They have no idea what they are even asking for or how their so called demands would make any sort of difference in the Middle East.

The kids understand the fascist surveillance state has been here for a while.


If they really believed this, they wouldn't be carrying phones that track their location and (in most cases) use FaceID.

You get that, right?

Even if a college divests, nothing changes. Like, literally nothing.

Protest peacefully in Washington. Lobby your reps on the Hill.

If you just want to cosplay “activist” on your parent’s dime instead of studying for exams, then do it in DC. At least it will be somewhat effective.


People don't want to do that in this instance for the repercussions of being labeled antisemitic or pro-Hamas or losing their job. That's why it will come out at the ballot box.*

For comparison, I was in this crowd of 100K on 10/26/2002 for the ANSWER rally to protest the looming war with Iraq. For comparison, I looked up the total death count by that point: about 22,000 Afghans. So not even close to the total death count in Palestine we've already unfortunately seen.

Bush did what he wanted and another 250K to 380K civilians died.

Here's the rally for those who want to relive, there was also a march: https://www.c-span.org/video/?173521-1/anti-war-rally

*AP polling as of early February (so undoubtedly much higher) showed...
"Half of US adults say the military response from Israel in the Gaza Strip has gone too far, up from November" and
Only "31% of U.S. adults approve of Biden’s handling of the conflict, including just 46% of Democrats"

Ok.

And which American presidential candidate will handle things differently/better…recognizing we really don’t have any control over what Israel does?

Biden stands with Israel.

Trump will, too.

So, is there someone you think has the silver bullet?


So, just leave Israel unchecked? Throw up our hands? I think most people in the world would hope people would protest 35K civilians dead in 6 months.


Um, do you not follow the news?

ICYMI: The US and the UK are working tirelessly to get this under control. Google it. Heavy coverage starting 48 hours ago. Go educate yourself on what the sane leaders from the civilized countries are doing to put an end to the suffering.

Nobody is leaving Israel unchecked. All of this is just more complicated at the local, regional, and global levels than you realize.


They're not following the news. The read sound-bites and parrot them over and over again.
Most of the people who can't go thirty seconds without barking out "Zionist" don't even know what a Zionist is and hadn't heard the term a year ago.


They are not following our carefully curated propaganda.

I mean, he’s right. Why aren’t protesters (and you) demanding HAMAS surrender?? Rhetorical question - we know why. You support terrorists.

FACT: Blinken’s Dad was Robert Maxwell’s lawyer. Last one he called before Maxwell was pushed off the boat. Also delivered his eulogy.

Blinken just made us give billions to Israel so they would not go into Rafah and now they are going to Rafah.

Those who entered and caused this destruction need to be charged with felonies, tried, and forced to pay restitution.
I have little hope that any of this will happen, though.

DP. It is so telling that you actually think Netanyahu is worse than the head Hamas terrorist, Ismail Haniyeh.

Yet they’re staring at their phones? Make it make sense.

Somehow the blind, unconditional supporters of Israel - against nearly all odds - figured out a way to remind us that there is, in fact, a movement more evil and corrupt than MAGA, and we all saw it last night on the UCLA campus in the actions of that pro-Israel mob.
