i really wish there weren't so many similarities... but it's pretty spot on...
What makes all of this worse to me is that, as someone who voted Democrat, I did my part to make the ethnic cleansing possible. I am tacitly responsible in part for putting my own tiny stamp of approval on it.
Republicans would have done exactly the same, because regardless of what they say, both of the ruling parties and our international representatives historically have voted in whatever way Israel wants them to, but it takes a special kind of asshole to continue doing so when the ethnic cleansing is being shamelessly broadcast 24 hours a day.
No, Republicans would have done worse. They would have likely encouraged Bibi to go hard instead of pushing the brakes on him to slow him down.
I heard a recent argument by Chris Hedges that Biden should be punished for his aiding of the killing of civilians, by voting for Trump. While that has logical basis in that you should be punished for doing this, the punishment is very likely going result in even more dead people. And for me it means that, somewhat paradoxically, voting Democrat is still "the right thing" to do.
It's sad when both the Democrat and Republican presidential candidates today are both worse than Ronald Reagan.
That's not the only way they can be compared to Ronald Reagan. I think at this point we're pretty much guaranteed to have some dementia in office.
Yep Americans have a choice between the party that aggressively cheerleads and gloats while doing everything in their power to enable Israeli war crimes, and the party that "expresses concerns" and "calls for moderation" while doing everything in their power to enable Israeli war crimes.
well one way to look at it is: massive fraud...
a con job...
the reason they're buying youtube ads and playing it for americans is to scam us... to get more weapons and money...
but we should all write letters to Biden...
This is a really great effort to document Israel's propaganda campaign, especially including the lies about what actually occurred on Oct 7.
Sadly, the first narrative is often the only one that matters, and in most people's minds it's going to be Israel's lies that persist.
There were several good links in that article and this one stood out to me:

During that speech, Netanyahu portrayed the full normalizing of relations with Saudi Arabia, an initiative spearheaded under the Trump administration and embraced by the Biden White House, as the linchpin of his vision for this “new” reality, one which would open the door to a “visionary corridor that will stretch across the Arabian Peninsula and Israel.
Under fire from his own ministers and supporters for impugning Israeli military and intelligence agencies, Netanyahu apologized for his comments, deleted the tweet, and then shifted to the stance he now repeats: There will be a time for such inquiries — but only after Israel achieves total victory in Gaza and eliminates Hamas.
Blinken told the U.S. Senate another harrowing story about how Hamas terrorists had tortured a family in their living room while intermittently taking breaks to eat a meal their victims had placed on the dining table before the horrors began that morning.
According to major Israeli media outlets that have worked diligently to identify all the victims of the October 7 attacks, there was one infant killed that day: a 9-month-old named Mila Cohen who was shot dead at Kibbutz Be’eri as her mother held her in her arms.
Israeli authorities have said evidence that would typically be taken in cases of suspected sexual assault was not recovered in the aftermath of the attacks, attributing this failure to a combination of the magnitude of the deaths, the charred nature of some bodies, and to Jewish burial practices.
The mounting pile of Palestinian civilian corpses and their surviving family members, meanwhile, are relegated to the workshopped afterthoughts uttered by Western politicians who have been told they should occasionally squeeze a line or two into their speeches about death and suffering in Gaza.
