    assuming you mean the war and not this thread Hard to say rn, a lot depends on U.S. and Israeli domestic politics. This Israeli govt would prefer to just reoccupy Gaza which is a total non-starter for Biden but which Trump would probably countenance. A Gantz/Lapid govt would almost certainly be...

    To again, get back on topic yall's ambassador - a longstanding annexationist/Jewish supremacist lunatic in the vein of Ben-Gvir - belligerently articulates the current govts stance on a two-state solution

    This trivializing framing is such solipsistic nonsense lmao, even for you, as if the entire war exists to provide social media content for yr acquaintances to disagree about while, you gus, remain aloof and dispense snide judgment

    No you're right, I definitely didn't care about Chiapas or Rwanda or Iraq or Afghanistan or any other place where terrible things have happened. I famously never said anything about any of those places. And I definitely haven't been paying attention to Israel since my dad moved there in the 80s...

    Back on topic, a couple days ago Hamas ambushed and wiped out the Golani Brigade's forward command unit in Gaza City https://www.timesofisrael.com/ten-soldiers-including-two-senior-officers-killed-in-gaza-fighting-and-deadly-ambush/ Which messes with the IDF victory narrative and symbolizes...

    Yes, it's almost like beliefs and actions have consequences. Framing it as "mind contagion" is nonsense but classic gus, so there you go. Hundreds of people are dying every day and almost 2 million are displaced and starving. I cannot summon up much sympathy for people dealing with tense office...

    dude I don't give a shit winning points in a stupid internet debate club or pwning fuckwit trash like biscuits or whatever what I care about is thousands of people being killed by a far-right govt that is coopting part of my identity to justify that killing. secondarily I care about the...

    One example, of many, to illustrate the double standards over meaning intifada and from the river to the sea are "proxies" for genocide, i.e. the standard campus genocide claim now go to the comments here and see the many responses claiming that "them" means Hamas rather than Palestinians...

    Buddy how are you "canceled"? Were you banned or penalized or in any other way punished? You posted a bunch of bad and ignorant takes and got called out on them. Ppl proclaiming "I've been canceled" when they get called on bullshit might the single most tiresome trope in current social media...

    The campus antisemitism is so goddamn dumb btw. No one can point to any actual genocidal claims so the claim is that "what you're saying means what we say it does rather than what you say it does so it's genocidal bc we said so". I.e. "from the river to sea" (a phrase which is literally in...
