So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

    Centralized autocratic government. Unilaterally funding genocide against the wishes of the people. That is fascism. That is what both sides of the aisle are doing in America today. Biden happens to be in the drivers seat today.

    11,000 unaffiliated civilians murdered in 1.5 months and Netanyahu is loudly ramping up. Sounds like genocide to me.

      Hamas is intentionally using Palestinian civilians as human shields, attacking Israel from populated areas.

      And Israel has the munitions and ability to kill every Palestinian in a matter of weeks. If they wanted to genocide the Palestinians they could have already wiped them out.

        So the only option is to murder the human shield.

        11 thousand of them in 1.5 months in fact.

          Well the other option is try and move ground troops in, which not only risks their lives, but the human shield is still risked.

          Hamas ceasing to exist would prevent the civilian casualties though, but Hamas wants as many civilians as possible to die.

          And given Israel has the ability to kill all 1 million of them in that time, they must really just be terrible at this genocide thing.

              Hamas will not. Hamas is firing long range rockets from within civilian infrastructure, and Hamas wants civilians to die by Israeli counterattacks. Hamas will never leave the human shield.

              Hamas is not a rational entity that is fighting for the good of Palestinians, and trying to save as many of them as they can. Hamas’ only goal is the annihilation of all Jews, and the more Palestinians that die the better it is in Hamas’ mind.

                What the fuck is wrong with you?

                It was a short range anti tank missile at a group of IDF troops shooting down people on the street outside the hospital instead of breaching the hospital.

                At this point, I am seriously wondering if you are just that stupid, or of I am talking to a genuine IDF disinformation agent.

                  That’s 1 attack out of the thousands. Hamas has fired thousands of rockets into Israel.

                  I’m seriously wondering how stupid you are. Do you honestly think Hamas has only fired 1 rocket ever?

                    Are we talking about in the history of Israel or in the last month and a half?

                    Because Israel has been constantly shelling Palestine for a month and a half and in that month and a half 1 missile has been fired by Hamas.
