You should see the hasbarists that tried to tell me that the operation was highly successful since it killed the children of Hezbollah operators, and that was its intended victims. Basically these people consider children to be very valid and normal targets to the point that you are a fool for thinking it is wrong.

In all honesty at that point I am actually surprised at the restraint that Hamas and everyone else has had on them. Iran and even the Houthis defeated Israel's Iron Dome and David's Sling so many times it isn't funny, but they still act like it is some impenetrable forcefield that has never been defeated. Also all of the targets by Hezbollah and Iran have been purely military targets or symbolic while also pulling some major punches, while Israel targets civilians with wanton abandon and with the intent to do as much damage as possible to civilians and civilian infrastructure.

When Israel did get (mostly warhead-less) missiles launched at it, they expressed shock and acted as if Iran was some idiotic child-like state that did not understand that these are weapons that could hurt people. In the meantime they revel in the murder of children and civilians and even when releasing hostages as a part of their deal, they open fire at their buses.

And Israel has always been like this. It isn't new.

I can't believe all the people who sat the election out and just let this happen.

You do remember that this attack happened while Kamala was VP.

I would feel sick if the candidate I voted for was cheering Israel for massacring thousands of innocent people. May I remind you that the DNC barred the pro-Gaza crowd? May I remind you that Trump and Biden were competing on who is the closest Israeli ally?

Yep, having Trump as a president sucks, but at least my hands are not filled with blood.

Go figure... Maybe those who stayed home and didnt vote made a conscious choice for "certain, quick, unpleasant end" instead of "slow, uncertain end".

And put it on his desk in the Oval Office next to the Diet Coke button.

If it's anything like Reagan, there's probably going to be some revisionism.

Nope, this turn in history will go beyond decades. We have entered the dystopian age where corporations will run or replace governments.

There's no coming back for this one.

Corporations 1, people 0.

That last bit was my thought too, I ain't taking a pager from that dude. Gold or otherwise.

I was thinking the Onion is trying to be creative but damn reality is worse than fiction can be.

Irony is dead

It's real

One can hope

"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!"

Kaboom is lurking on the conservation Lemmy. Probably re-evaluating his life choices. Or most likely not, because that requires self-reflection.

I mean it seems more because Biden's administration was hugely pro-Israel and consistently the destruction of Gaza and the death of Palestinians, and Harris started plainly her policy was the same. Harris ran on a campaign of telling parts of the left that they didn't want their vote and courted mythical moderate Republicans.

And I voted for Harris, but this was by far a loss due to the Democrats abandonment of their base and what polling clearly showed people wanted change, irrational or not, just something different. Running on a same-as-Biden platform was a massive blunder.

if only there was a way for the democratic party to not be accused of sending weapons to a country actively committing war crimes . alas , it is the voters faulrv

It's almost as if there should be 3-4 parties because not everyone in one party is going to agree about everything else that others in that party agree with if it's supposed to represent 50+ percent of the population.

The right is always unified. Blind loyalty to the team captain is their one positive attribute. Look to our own slimeball cons for similar - but properly muted because #canada - idiocy and worship.
