Israel redraws Gaza map, limiting Palestinians to a third of the enclave

Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.

I'm so happy people didn't vote for Kamala.
/s
I'm so fucking tired of this argument
It's not even an argument anymore it's a circlejerk.
Get used to it. I will repeat it until democrats realizes that not voting has consequences.
Maybe you should spend your effort getting the Democrats to realize that running awful candidates like Kamala is why they keep losing. I'd love to be able to side the Democrats, but they keep putting forward bad candidates with terrible platforms.
I would like to see the voters challenge the Democratic candidates with a simple: do you want to win or do you want to support Israel? You only get one.
It would be interesting to see the Democratic candidates faced with this and watch how they respond.
Really though, the party needs to be replaced. It is an abject failure.

They had and made that choice in 2024. They chose netanyahu.
"I couldn't vote against Hitler because the opposition wasn't great"
"we ran slightly less Hitler against Hitler and lost, it's everyone's fault except our own"
"slightly" 🤣🤣
I feel like "lets keep bombing children", or "we're going to back a genocide harder than they are", or "we're going to do a better job of putting immigrants in prison" is indeed only slightly better than the Republicans position.
Just admit you don't actually care about Palestinian lives.
It's not true that centrists don't care about Palestinian lives. They have very clear preferences on the matter: they prefer them dead.
And you'll keep hearing it for actually assisting the fasist pro-genocide candidate.
You mean Kamala Harris?
Genocide Donald's strongest apologist is here to defend him.
I'm cooked :(
How about you stop doing genocide apologia for one of the two instead.
Israel and Palestine have a right to exist.
And I will keep defending both until I stop getting death threats from your friends.
*edit: Also I see in your mod-log you've been banned multiple times for supporting the Russian genocide in Ukraine.
P R O J E C T I N G
Bring up more irrelevant lies to pivot topic when getting called out for defending genocide.
Mod log for subs and individuals are public bro.
You mean the administration whom the Israeli government praised this week for never demanding a ceasefire?
Yeah, they straight-up lied to the American public. Biden's legacy is being an accomplice to genocide and handing the Republicans a victory in November.
And Israel is destroying its host, just as a parasite might do.

Don't just pin this on biden. He had the enthusiastic help of his entire pro-genocide wing of the democratic party.
And 6 months ago, you were arguing that we have to keep arming Israel because they're such an important ally to the US. Why aren't you saying that anymore?
I'm not saying they shouldn't.
I'm happy she lost, but I'm also sad that Trump won. Why should our choice be between to pro-genocide candidates?
Maybe the next time the Dems should try something new and run a candidate that campaigns on what the voters want.
One of those two was going to win. That's how this shit works, so instead of voting for genocide, you voted for genocide and for your list of rights to get shorter on a monthly basis. The worst part was that you saw all the signs and you still did it and are willing to brag that you're partially responsible for not making the obviously better call.
We can do third party's over 1/3 of the government when we have third partys everywhere else and it's actually attainable, until then, you're doing this.
That's how this shit works, so instead of voting for genocide, you voted for genocide and for your list of rights to get shorter on a monthly basis.
You can't have genocide without your list of rights getting shorter on a monthly basis that's not how that works. It was always a question of when America's tab would come back to haunt it, not if. You want to keep your rights? Then better oppose genocide even when it's your guy doing it.
Hit the fucking nail on the head. Some actual intelligence in this comment thread.
Yeah, that is how it works. I don't fight against genocide because I think I'm going to win, I fight against genocide because I think it's evil. You may be OK with genocide, but I'm not.
Additionally, genocide is just 1 out of ~50 other things that I'm against, that Harris stood for. Why should I vote for a candidate that's proud to stand with the Cheneys? Or a candidate that wants to continue to be a "leathal fighting force"? Why should I vote for a candidate that thought bombing children was OK? Or a candidate that proudly stood behind a rapist?
Yes, I proudly stand against genocide, and all of those other things. Maybe the real issue is that the Democrats shouldn't run in favor of them.
No one here is rooting for genocide, I'm stating the obvious that you should make the best of a shitty situation rather than not. A great example of this is voting someone who stood behind a rapist instead of voting for someone that would lead to an actual rapist being the winner of the race. It's not good, but it's better.
By all means, try to vote both of these motherfuckers out when possible in primaries and midterms and special elections, but when it comes down to actual election day, and you only have two available options, you pick the best of the two instead of throwing your vote away, that is if you want to actually mitigate this shit storm as best you can instead of letting idealogical purity fuck you over even more.
No one here is rooting for genocide
Literally the Democratic leadership is. They're even doing more: they are funding it.
It's not good, but it's better.
I agree it's better, but it's still not good enough for me to vote for. I understand why people held their nose and voted for Harris, but I was unwilling to do the same. We have different standards. I've seen the Democrats continuously fight against the policies that I want, and so I chose 'nah' over them. So did a lot of other people, so maybe they should incorporate that into their strategy next time.
if you want to actually mitigate this shit storm as best you can instead of letting idealogical purity fuck you over even more.
I find this hilarious coming in support of a party who chose the ideological purity of genocide and money, instead of chosing a popular stance and winning the election.
I hope that you enjoy your moral superiority as you're rounded up by trumps gestapo.
I hope you enjoy your endorsement of genocide as you're rounded up by trumps gestapo.
I voted against the fascist, thank you very much.
Apparently, that was too hard for you.
Incorrect! I too, voted against the fascist. But I also voted against genocide, which was apparently too hard for you.
Oh look it’s another new account harshly critical of Democrats, but no comment on the atrocious Republican leadership.
🌻🌻🌻
Oh look it's another account that doesn't read things that I've written, then accuses me of stuff. I've already mentioned how terrible the Republicans and Trump are, and that I think the Democrats would have been better.
So what I'm not understanding about this is that you seem to have known that, did you also know that whoever you voted for would not win, and if you did, why did you do that?
I voted against both of the two major parties because both the Democrats and the Republicans fight against what I want. They both are pro-genocide, pro-corporation, pro-war, etc. While I don't think they are the same, both parties are pretty evil.
If the Republicans are a 2, the Democrats are a 3 at best. I'm looking for a 9 or a 10, and I'll vote against both of the parties until one of them stop fighting against what I want, and start fighting for what I want.
I chose to vote 3rd party, knowing that they wouldn't win, because I'd rather my vote be a vote against the both of them, than an endorsement of either one.
EDIT: I appreciate an honest question, trying to understand my point of view. These discussions tend to get a bit crazy, with a lot of baseless accusations and ad-hominem arguements. Thanks for taking it seriously!
I really am dude or dudette. Some people are just out here to be shitters, but I promise you, I'm really just trying to talk to you, whether I'm right or we're both wrong.
To be 100% frank, after this shit show, I'm not voting for them again.
I guess I'm just trying to voice my perspective on what I think to be true. I truly believed that that was the last stop before the beginning of true fascism, and to be fair, we're diving right in. The very fact that they didn't even hold the line is my wake up call. I won't vote for them again, I truly think that election we were not ready to stray, but after the last few months seeing them not do a godamn thing, I and most of us are right there with you. What I've said is not me telling you to stay with the status quo, it is just me saying at the time, November 5th, that was the best we could've done in my opinion.
My big grievance is that they had such an insanely easy competition, why couldn't they do the bare minimum? Like I've been saying, it is better, but I'll agree it's a 3 instead of a 2. My big thing is I'll take a fucking 3 if it's ONLY a 2 or 3.
I'd say it's more like a 4 over a 7, but still, the people have been asking for a fucking 9 to please treat us like people for a long time, and I'm just tired.
I sincerely hope that WE, very important we, can come together and help put together a party that just respects people over money. What it really boils down to is, am I being destructive? I really hope not, and I want that for everyone.
By all means, try to vote both of these motherfuckers out when possible in primaries
The ones we don't have when democrats don't want to? Those primaries?
If pieces of shit like yourself weren't so prone to compromise on the killing of brown people, they might have considered the electoral implications of bombing civilians polulation
So if both pro genocide why bringing the topic in discussion about "Israel commiting genocide"
So I've met quite a few people that can read, but I don't remember any of us saying that. I'd like to invite you to show me where that happened.
I agree wholeheartedly.
It is fate. God decided that this is how the United States must be, and so it is. Nothing we can do about it, since fate is predefined.
