Wow, the Gazan civilians must have done something really serious to merit being attacked like this, ending the cease fire...
Right? Um... right? /s

Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report says
(www.independent.co.uk)
they survived? i have no snark left
The people in Gaza survived a lot better than I predicted ; but I think the mortality from all causes is huge, under reported and still minimized.
It's absolutely giving horrible what's happened and also absolutely predictable this type of behavior from Trump happened.
It's just so extremely frustrating and sad.

The ceasefire was the only positive thing going on during these past two months. This is fucked up!

I find it deeply disturbing that when I opened the comment section of a post discussing 400 (now over 700) dead people, mostly innocent children, men, and women, in less than 48 hours, the first reaction was to blame "Arabs," "Muslims," "Tankies," "Leftists," and "Pro-Palestinians," using these minority communities as tokens.
This is a glaring display f hypocrisy, these groups are portrayed in a positive light when it benefits politically, only to be thrown under the bus when they are no longer useful…
Any human capable of experiencing empathy would have first reacted with disgust and indignation at the unfolding genocide, rather than resorting to scapegoating and divisive rhetoric, but it may also not be organic comments, what do I know…

I don't care who gets bitchy over this;
America chose bald faced fascism and genocide, over the chance to end genocide and not-fascism.
Suck eggs, whenever you can save up for them. The stay-at-homes are just as guilty.

I would like ANYONE to stick a camera into the face of these Arab and Muslim leaders who told their followers to help get trump elected because they didn't think Joe Biden was acting fast enough or giving them the attention they wanted and ask them if their feelings are still hurt with news like this.
I'm sure the people of Gaza are so pleased with them and their stupidity
BuT dOn’T vOtE fOr GeNoCiDe JoE!!1!1! ThE PrIcE Of EgGS!1!1!
And the trump admin wants to build seaside resorts in the purged Gaza then told us to STFu about eggs while the price more than doubled.
There are far too many people on this earth who can only imagine black and white.
They can't imagine you can have bad and you can have much worse and they are not the same thing.
Edit - in case the downvote wasn't someone who voted trump to "save Palestine", my point is you don't save someone from bad by giving them worse. Which we did.
And not "voting for bad" while allowing worse is performative privilege.

They've been waiting for our permission each time?
The problem with you yanks is that you're too far up your own asses. How predictable is it that the whole discussion under this post is about your last election. Nobody cares any more. Your country is lead by a fascist doing fascist things to you and abroad. And all you do is bicker about what happened half a year ago. Your country is wading in the waters of Rubicon, what are you going to do NOW about it?

They have always wait for US green light to do it and they have always had it
...yet i was told that the biden genocide was somehow worse...cake and eat it shit.....
Biden’s help killed more at this time, but Trump should catch up by late summer or early autumn this year. Then we can say Trump killed more than Biden.
But Trumps crimes elsewhere will eclipse this grim milestone , and I doubt most commentators here will remark on that when it happens

But thank God we stopped Harris right?
Ugh....
Was Harris against what Israel was doing?
I can't remember her stance.

lol. I commented on a post saying that Harris would likely be handling the situation better right now, and I got told by one of the pro-Palestine crazies that they hope my family gets murdered…
Harris would have said not to do it while continuing to supply them with weapons.
Harris would have said she's doing everything she can to stop this whole breaking federal laws to keep it happening.
