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.

        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?

                    Lmao, I fucking hate the republicans. Trump is literally the anti-christ. And yes, they support the genocide too.

                    I’m also pissed at the dems for basically trying their hardest to get him elected and see scapegoating voters as helping their losing defunct platform as well as by extent the zionist platform.

                    I want change and making voters feel bad and only blaming them guarantees we dont get change.
