They were elected into power, just the same as Trump and Netanyahu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_election
No, I don’t agree with bombing civilians, regardless of the justification. No, I will not defend the atrocities of the US government simply because I’m a citizen. Governments and military are to blame for killing innocent people, not entire nations.
So according to your transitive logic, Palestinians are all responsible for the kidnappings and murders by Hamas? All Russians are responsible for Putin’s actions? All Salvadorans for Bukele?
It’s that kind of black and white justification that will perpetuate the slaughter of innocent people. You should really consider that the Geneva Convention and The Rome Statute identify civilians as a protected group for a reason.
How is it different? There are plenty of Israelis who condemn Netanyahu and his atrocities. They should be killed because they were born in the wrong nation and more of their neighbors supported this leader?
Netanyahu’s favorably rating is below Trump’s. It’s a fair equivalence.
Condemning all Israelis for the actions of Netanyahu is no different than condemning all Palestinians for the actions of Hamas.
So if Trump was causing conflicts that put all people in the US at risk, the innocent people who stand against the atrocities should die because we all live under a corrupt leader?
Do you have a source? I can only find evidence to the contrary.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez rejects all funding, donations, and support from by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). In fact, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has labeled AIPAC as an "extremist organization that destabilizes US democracy.”

Aaron Parnas and Meidas Touch Network now have more monthly active viewers than many legacy media outlets.
Millennials and Gen Z make up the majority of content creator viewership. Legacy media is losing its grip fast.
It’s exactly what needs to happen. Billionaires are continuing to push viewers off of corporate platforms, under the mistaken impression that they control what we consume. Every day they forgo more control over the masses.
Thanks. I was up early. It’s probably a little too heady for the hour. It’s funnier after coffee.
It was meant as a joke. Score is another word for fuck.
Gross. The wealthy will fuck anything but consenting adults.
Many Republicans worshipped Reagan decades after his passing.🤷♂️
It’s “who child-raped whom.”🙄
Oh, agreed. I’m not condemning the owner for charity. I’m condemning those who are critical of social programs as a form of ‘forced charity.’

Unfortunately, 15% is above the national average for congressional primaries. That’s all we need to change to change the Democratic Party. All the funding in the world won’t matter if we all take it upon ourselves to research the candidates on the ballot and show up at the polls.
For a point of reference, Mamdani broke the record for NYC Mayoral Democratic Primary turnout with just 30%, up from 21% last election. We just need to outnumber the retirees.
I’m referring specifically to the congressional primaries. That’s where we replace the centrist Democrats with progressives who will move the Overton Window back towards the left.
Looks like you had 15.1% statewide in 2024
A lack of challengers is exceedingly rare. I was just discussing Fetterman’s election in another thread, where someone was saying he was better than Dr. Oz, but both options sucked. He also had three challengers in a primary that only saw 8.5% attendance.

Still? We haven’t tried in 40 years.
The Overton Window shift in the US is mostly due to persistent low primary attendance.
Congressional primaries have seen <15% attendance for the last 40 years. Retirees never miss a vote, and have very different needs than the working class. They’re the ones who have been packing our ballots with centrists and conservatives.
We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for federal elections alone. Sign up for mailers if you forget. Research the candidates on the ballot, rather than relying on advertising to coerce you into doing your civic duty.
You say that like it’s as simple as a choice. I’m in the US. I do not want to live in the US. I do not have the means to move out of the US. To be eligible for asylum, you need to prove that your life is threatened by staying in your resident nation.
I voted against Trump three times, lobby my congresspeople, and am an activist against the atrocities of this administration. Does that make me complicit in Trump’s actions? If so, how do you justify that?
