Yes, the lie that Biden was pushing for a ceasefire gave him tons of political cover. It was one of his administration’s primary Gaza talking points. They used this lie to deflect against valid criticism for months.
Even AOC fell for the lie, saying Harris was working tirelessly for a ceasefire in Gaza
No, Gaza is still being bombed. Children are being intentionally starved. It’s still a crisis.
Probably discussing the latest news about how Biden never pressured Israel for ceasefire
It was just another lie to give political cover as he aided and abetted an ongoing genocide.

leaving $10m to each child, with plans to donate everything else
The plans were to donate everything else to a tax-advantaged “charity” in which the Gates family retains complete financial control.
This is not philanthropy. It is tax avoidance, greenwashing, and a public relations campaign.
because they support the existence of Israel they have blood on their hands?
Yes.
If “Zionist” means anything at all, it means support for Israel as it currently exists. This means support for Jewish supremacy, support for bombing campaigns against civilians in multiple nations, and support for a literal ongoing genocide. Anyone who lends support to these evils has blood on their hands.
You can try to move goalposts to say Zionist only means “israel has a right to exist”, but this is meaningless in context. I personally believe in a one-state solution where Palestinians have equal rights with Jews; a state where there is no apartheid, ethnic cleansing, nor aggression against neighboring countries. I would be fine with this hypothetical country keeping the name “Israel”. Does this make me a Zionist too? If so, the term is meaningless.
I never mentioned their faith, why are you deciding what it is?
You are right about this, I should have been more clear with my words. I was describing a hypothetical Christian Zionist, not your specific neighbor who might be Jewish, Muslim, or atheist. Whatever their faith may be, I condemn their Zionism.
The genocide would not be possible if it wasn’t for the financial and rhetorical support of Christian Zionists like your neighbor. They may not directly murder anyone, but they do have blood on their hands.
Christian Zionists vastly outnumber Jewish individuals on this planet, and correspondingly, the majority of donations to pro-genocide groups like AIPAC come from Christian Zionists.
People like your neighbor are directly funding the genocide. Why wouldn’t they be culpable?
Or they hang out in the 25mph zone going 74mph. Killing the young girl in the crosswalk gets you two years of paid vacation before finally being fired.
It’s not wasted at all, this is textbook Shock Doctrine (Naomi Klein, 2007). This is Steve Bannons’s “flood the zone” strategy that Trump is currently following.
The lies will be believed by dedicated Zionists. Paid Hasbara trolls will be repeating these lies forever.
For most news consumers, the story will come across muddled, confused, and open to personal interpretation. From their low-information perspective, a conclusion of “both sides” seems reasonable.
And for those who are paying attention and have a strong sense of morality, this will be one more battle we will have to repeatedly fight. We will have to expend time and energy to fight this lie, and it is just one of many.
Is “slightly corrupt” the new euphemism for “aiding and abetting an ongoing genocide”?
I went through a medical bankruptcy at age 24, and I have never financially recovered. I have been bedridden twice in my life, and one of those times was due to gross medical negligence. So you’re right, I am desperate for a fleeting sense of power, and one of my goals is to radicalize people against the evil system we suffer under.
Luigi Mangioni is a hero. Instilling fear into the billionaire class is a positive and noble thing, otherwise their power is completely unchecked.
And if you can’t handle pushback, then I suggest you go find a comfy echo chamber, because this ain’t it.
And if you go anywhere outside of the Fediverse, pro-Mangioni voices are removed and banned.
Corporate censorship on other platforms has made the Fediverse into an outlier on this subject, and then sadly people like you capitulate to the narrative that Mangioni is unpopular in those censored spaces.
The Zionist group Betar has been providing the Trump administration with long lists of names of pro-Palestinian protesters that they would like to see deported. Many of the activists that have been kidnapped by ICE were suggested by Betar.
Even the Anti-Defamation League (aka Apartheid Defense League, a pro-genocide hate group in my opinion) condemns Betar and says they promote “extremist and hateful ideologies”.
It kinda seems like immigrants and anti-war protesters made it to the top of the list this time.

corner a pedo
And since these are internet vigilante kids with no oversight, they will inevitably corner some non-pedos too.
Put yourself in that situation- a couple teenagers with cameras approach you on the street and start accusing you of some of the sickest crimes imaginable. Even though the accusation is false, this has the potential to ruin your career, your relationships, your entire life.
I’m not sure how anyone would respond, or should respond, but I can definitely see how people might resort to violence when falsely accused of this horrible shit on camera.
Well there was the “first 9/11” or “other 9/11”, which is 9/11/1973, when the US-backed coup violently overthrew the democratically elected government of Chile…
If “economic hurt” justifies a bombing campaign, then imagine what else would be justified. America economically devastated Iraq, so it’s only fair that the Iraqi airforce comes over and drops a few hundred tons of bombs on us.
By your logic, Iraqi bombs should be dropping on your house and killing your family. And following your insane logic, it would be your fault that your family is dead, because you should have taken it upon yourself to overthrow the Republican Party regime.
Yes, the current president is supporting genocide.
You don’t hear anyone on the left yelling about it? Maybe you should pay attention, protest movements are ongoing. Protest tactics and media coverage may change in the Trump era, but the anti-genocide movement is still strong in my opinion.
If you want to make some sort of political point then you should come out and say it. Hiding behind sarcasm is off putting when discussing a serious subject like genocide. Its almost like you don’t actually care.
