So much lefty derision of "libs" is just projection: rehabilitating Bush, normalizing Trump, embracing the Lincoln Project, performing outrage without doing anything, Biden pardoning Trump... it's all shit that no liberals have done, but plenty of horseshoe types have.
Again: why is this an argument?
Um, 90% of the Palestinians in Gaza are still alive and you suffer from a complete lack of imagination.
Honest question: how does she portray Palestinians in the graphic novel? That's not a trivial consideration IMHO
Remember the finale of Lethal Weapon 2?
It wouldn't sting as much if it were someone we don't associate with empathy. Nobody would be surprised if it were Nixon or Trump. But empathy is part of Biden's public persona
So why is Israel still able to carry out much worse attacks?
Yeah I've seen that but never understood it.
Okay but whether or not you're pro Israel Joe Biden is
Or, you know, Biden could grow a fucking spine
Itโs not Trumpublicans that are increasing his chances at winning, it may well be those on the left who insist that punishing Biden & the dems for Israel is more important than preventing Trump & the GOP from jettisoning us back to the dark ages
Lol nerd
Biden deserves all sorts of criticism his for his Israel/Palestine policies and I even think heโs somewhat predjudiced against Palestinians but this sorta stuff is just straight up childish nonsense. Grow up about it while I unfollow you.
Get back to me when itโs actually enacted and theyโre rebuilding Gaza
letโs see
-Trump and the GOP want to bomb Gaza into oblivion and set of a coastal resort project on the land
and
-Biden wants peace
EASY VOTING DECISION MY PRO-PALESTINIAN FRIENDS

Middle East Crisis: Biden Endorses Israeli Proposal for a Cease-Fire in Gaza
The proposal, sent to Hamas through negotiators, would begin with a temporary six-week cease-fire that would pave the way for negotiations to eventually end the war and rebuild Gaza.
www.nytimes.comJust a reminder that John McCain nearly had to resign over accepting bribes
I would totally eat crow if it meant saving Palestinian lives. But even then I would be very anxious about how the โrebuildingโ would work.
Not to mention that we (and Iโm including everyone in the US and Canada) will never be able to fully atone for this.
I wouldnโt put too much thought into it.
I actually want Biden to prove me wrong. It would kill me to admit that he was doing something good, but I would take it.
So far Iโve avoided that burden.
โMockery is the ignorant manโs weapon!โ
name calling bears no necessity and is logically fallaciousโฆ no one who resorts to such methods can claim to own the moral high groundโฆ it's a self-defeating tacticโฆ truth needs no such artificesโฆ
Is it cynical of me that I see a huge loophole here?
So why is Biden enabling that?
I don't think they should have banned her but i can understand people being uncomfortable with *any* sympathetic portrayal of the IDF
....you know American Sniper was very, very bad, right
Exactly.
The point is that people are saying they might vote for Biden if he stops the slaughter but they definitely won't if he doesn't.
And AFAIK she advocates for "peace by negotiation," which is extremely vague.
Okay but how would Israeli propaganda be a factor if she moved there when she was 17 and enlisted a year later?
And do you think Biden is what's keeping them from using them, not their knowledge of how fallout works?
I think the people of Gaza will probably not survive until November.
You mean this guy?

What is the evidence that Trump would make it worse than it already is?
I'm not talking about Trump's stated intentions- I'm saying that it's hard to imagine anything worse than what's going on now?
Then she's a hypocrite

She was in the IDF in the early 2000s, the graphic novel was in 2008.
AFAIK she never witnessed or participated in any atrocities but i can see why people would object to *anything* that puts the IDF in a positive light.
Hey, cringe is cringe. More importantly the image of Hillary getting high breaks my brain
But is she actually critical of the IDF? Beaton doesn't apologise for the oil sands industry.
I don't think she should have been banned but i think that at this time especially i can understand people's discomfort

I'm deleting my posts on this because i think i jumped to the wrong conclusion.
I'm still uneasy about any glorification of the IDF
Yeah, i feel like i jumped to conclusions (although from what i understand the similar signs in the border states in the US are *not* pro refugee rights to say the least)
Which is weird because she appeared to have volunteered?
I think they were wrong to ban her but I can see why people are upset. It's not just "oh she served 20 years ago," it's actually central to her work.
Is that Tapper? You have nailed his "very concerned" look.
I deleted my original post because I'm not sure what it's about.
I don't think she should have been banned but I can understand why people might be uncomfortable.
I guess I'm confused by the message then. I interpreted it as mocking fleeing Arabs but I guess it's not?
Apparently it says "seek peace and pursue it" and it's meant to be a Jewish family. It might not mean what I thought, in which case i might delete.
As someone with no personal ties to either side, I canโt understand it.
IVANKA TRUMP could become an Israel citizen and get subsidies for doing so!
Didnโt Herzl specifically hate the desert?
