TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel’s operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

    And those “morons” will fall it again if the dems keep creating situations that make them look terrible. They are acting like villains, of course its easy for russia to convince people they are.

    How easy is it to just tell Israel to fuck off? Yet im suppose to pat them on the back and blame the evil voters that just couldnt swallow their pride and support ethnic cleansing? Id rather they grew some balls and stopped presenting Trump Lite as their official party strategy.

    They aren’t receiving enough blame if there are still people that are scapegoating ordinary folk that felt genocide, of all things, was were the line should be drawn. It’s normal to not support genocide, the lunatics that tried to push it as a platform are the only ones to blame.

      By voting for Trump, you have insured the Palestinians are much worse off. At least with Harris there would’ve been a possibility of the US eventually condemning the genocide. Now we have the Trump admin cheering it on. So, how did voting the way you did help the Palestinian people?

        I never voted for trump. I voted Kamala but im mature enough to understand that I shouldnt have to vote for genocide, the party should simply stop pushing it. I’m also smart enough to understand that the dems ultimately lost by putting Israel and their genocide before their actual voters.

        The election is over, if all you learned from their mistake is that voters should just ignore genocide and not that the party should stop helping commit genocide, then I dont know what to tell you.

          Good. Glad you actually voted. A lot of people parroting the ideology you’re parroting didn’t vote, thus implicitly voting for Trump. The dems lost because of a number of strategic failings but, I agree, not outright condemning the genocide in Gaza was one of them. We can blame the DNC for that, and blame the abstainers for not putting up a fight against fascism at the same time.

          If that’s your take-away from the points I raised, then I don’t know what to tell you.
