[“fierce opposition”? Don’t bet on it.]

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.

    Who are you supporting by defending their stance on genocide so consistently?

    Dems don’t support genocide. Claiming otherwise is outright misinformation FUD targeting Democratic voters to drive support for RUpublicans.

      Huh, that’s really odd conclusion to draw from Democrats literally supporting genocide. Harris couldn’t even be bothered to come out against it during the campaign even when they knew their support was a losing issue.

        Again, more Fascist supporting apologia.

        The DNC does not support genocide, Trump supports the genocide of Palestine. How dense do you have to be to not see that you are supporting the genocide of Palestine?

          There are multiple meanings of “support.” There’s an endorsement meaning, which can be explicit or tacit, and there’s an aiding meaning. The Democrats may not explicitly endorse it, but the Biden administration certainly did tacitly endorse it by directly aiding it. And most of the party has been tacitly endorsing and aiding it for decades.

          As your links show, the dems created a massive vulnerability by supporting genocide. It doesnt say anything about them not supporting it.

          The dems have to change their stance. Russia using their support for genocide against them doesnt mean we should support genocide. They kind of solve both problems by publicly condemning Israel and its what voters want as well.

              No, im honest about the fact that supporting genocide is stupid and supporting it harder because the Russians are using that support to their advantage is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

              You dont have a leg to stand on, and your sources dont even counter my point. They seem to actually help my argument.

              The democrates supported genocide and are POS for doing it. By defending their position, you support genocide (this part is probably not news for you, Im guessing you’re in the “right to defend themselves” looney crowd.)

                supporting genocide is stupid

                By defending their position,

                But yet here you are arguing against supporting the DNC because they “support” genocide, despite the fact that the RNC is fully supporting genocide abroad and laying the ground work to start their own genocide in the states.

                Tell me, do you also support a one state solution too?

                  Yes, because THE DNC SUPPORTED GENOCIDE. I don’t care about your whataboutism.

                  The dems need to stop supporting genocide and the apartheid state of Israel because :

                  • It is the right thing to do
                  • it’s alienating their voters
                  • their support for it gave the election to Trump

                  The dems literally got Trump elected with their short sighted support for a foreign genocidal nation.

                  Tell me your views on Israel bro, tell me how they aren’t the bad guys and it isnt really a genocide. I’m guessing thats what you are really trying to say.

                    Israel is committing genocide.

                    The Republicans want to commit genocide, but you can’t seem to say that for some reason?
