FFS! Hezbollah has been rocketing northern Israel non stop for months!I've assumed they want to go after Lebanon for quite some time.
What the fuck country is going to put the fuck up with that?!?!?!

Ahh, so we are back to the "This is a thing I - Butler - believe, therefore it must be true" standard?I'd say at least Bush and the War on Terror.
Are you now denying that you said Israel should commit war crimes (such as offering no quarter)?Wow, you really are naive, or just a blatant liar......
Goddammit! That's a shame she's wearing panties!x.com

LOL...I see a future parking lot attendant here.
KlattyIf they could poison the air, they would. That’s the fanatical ethos of Ziontologists.
But since she won't, you have a dilemma about what to do with your vote.Yes, and Jill Stein should win.
Then why are you fixated on not voting or third party voting, which will accomplish none of this?The system needs change and the dems need change, well, so does the GOP.
This is all about actually voting though.Changing the dems is first so that the system can be changed, turfing out all who took AIPAC money and aiding the progressives would be a start.
So you've just decided to abandon reality completely at this point?Unless Stein wins and can change it.
You're the one who keeps saying he has to lose to make the dems learn and that even him changing his position wouldn't be enough because it is too late and he has to lose.Its not 'punishment', Biden needs to earn the chance to win. He could have but instead chose to waste it backing genocide.
Your language makes a mockery of democracy.
Of course your vote isn't an illustration of your personal morality.Isn't it already? Isn't voting for rump a choice about morality? Same with voting for Genocide Joe.
Of course they can!But that's also democracy, voters can choose to vote by age, hair style, party colours or whatever reason they want.
They are free to vote for who they want to win instead of only voting strategically if they want.
What a deeply ignorant thing to say.By arguing that its 'accomplish' you are saying voting can only be strategic, which is anti democratic.
That you cling to this delusion is the whole point of this argument and really I should drop it because it is clear you are never going to abandon your fantasy.You are supposed to vote for the person who most supports your views and is mostly likely to enact policy to make it happen.
You are not supposed to vote only to win.
And your argument would be silly and ridiculous, because you don't understand voting systems.I would argue that someone who has studied politics should really know their choice is not to just choose between a hitler and a mussolini, their choice is to back the both of them and the genocide they support.
There is serious question about how large either of those counter-reactions will be, though.What our Hamas-loving friend overlooks is that any overt move by Biden to a forthright pro Hamas policy position will lead to 2 overwhelming negative counter-reactions:
1. Support from pro Israel voters will bleed heavily to the GOP.
2. There will be factional schism and in fighting amidst Dems in heavily Jewish areas, such as NYC! That in turn will lead to a decrease in funding and Dem voter apathy. Neither thereof being good things in an election year.
It's one theory of the case, but I don't think that's definitive.So you get a GOP electoral win, Dem financial chaos and Biden being deposed along with his Dem Party pro Hamas supporters immediately after the election, at which time the Dems would swing back to an amorphous "sorta pro Israel but still holding out some carrots to the pro Palestine Arab and far left vote" party policy.
One that has to be careful about how much they escalate a war.FFS! Hezbollah has been rocketing northern Israel non stop for months!
What the fuck country is going to put the fuck up with that?!?!?!
I stated BOTH sides have chosen no quarter. Because that is the truth.Ahh, so we are back to the "This is a thing I - Butler - believe, therefore it must be true" standard?
Are you now denying that you said Israel should commit war crimes (such as offering no quarter)?
Trump would be an idiot not to jump on the "Senile Joe's a terrorist supporter now!" bus. But then, Trump is an idiot.There is serious question about how large either of those counter-reactions will be, though.
A lot would depend on what the actual policy shift was, of course - along with how it is handled, the messaging, the GOP response, and so on.
I think anything more than a random missile hit on Iran is a pipe dream. They can take Hezbollah pretty easily though. Guys shouting "Inshallah!" and waving AK's and RPG's don't hold up for long against Merkavas, artillery and tac air. Just like in Gaza right now.One that has to be careful about how much they escalate a war.
But Bibi and company have talked about finding ways to strike at Iran as well.
It isn't like they don't want to do it, they just don't think they can get away with either right now.
Thus justifying your support of genocide by categorizing even women and children as subhuman 'terrorists'.
You really are no different than nazis now,
Every accusation is a confession,
As you've told us, everything happens for a reason. That would include Islamophobia. I assume.This is the result of Islamophobia.
So if this isn't a long standing USA policy then you are stating Joe Biden is solely responsible for starting it, delivering the arms that are being used, and his Genocide Joe moniker is correct.Ahh, so we are back to the "This is a thing I - Butler - believe, therefore it must be true" standard?
Are you now denying that you said Israel should commit war crimes (such as offering no quarter)?
1- Pro Israel vote is tiny, both here and in the US. Even amongst Jews support for zionism is fading.What our Hamas-loving friend overlooks is that any overt move by Biden to a forthright pro Hamas policy position will lead to 2 overwhelming negative counter-reactions:
1. Support from pro Israel voters will bleed heavily to the GOP.
2. There will be factional schism and in fighting amidst Dems in heavily Jewish areas, such as NYC! That in turn will lead to a decrease in funding and Dem voter apathy. Neither thereof being good things in an election year.
There is no dilemma.But since she won't, you have a dilemma about what to do with your vote.
It would be nice if the US had an electoral system that didn't create that problem, but it does.
Voting for Biden also won't change the system, so why should I choose that?Then why are you fixated on not voting or third party voting, which will accomplish none of this?
Genocide is a red line, as is rape and fraud. I personally won't vote for anyone who is a rapist, conman or genocidal.This is all about actually voting though.
It is about thinking through the consequences of voting in the system as it is and making choices.
Or are you now saying just "anyone who takes AIPAC money must be voted out regardless of any other position they take"?
Which is very possible with you.
Is that what you tell Maple Leaf and Blue Jays fans?So you've just decided to abandon reality completely at this point?
I'm saying that months ago 57% of those who voted for Biden last time said Israel is committing genocide. Aiding genocide is a red line for me. I wouldn't vote for Pol Pot, I wouldn't vote for Hitler and I wouldn't vote for Netanyahu or Biden. You argue that you have to vote for them because they are the only ones that can win.You're the one who keeps saying he has to lose to make the dems learn and that even him changing his position wouldn't be enough because it is too late and he has to lose.
Right, so you'd vote for Hitler because he'd promise better university funding and because it wouldn't reflect on your morality.Of course your vote isn't an illustration of your personal morality.
Who on earth would want to pretend that it is in a compromised system?
That's the same idiocy as "You think Capitalism is a problem, and yet you still use money" as an argument.
Telling people they are stupid for not voting the way you want them to vote isn't pointing out reality. All that's doing is pointing out your own ivory tower belief in the supremacy of your own views. Arguing that people should vote for genocide based on your own supremacist belief in your own intellect works only to taint your own argument. Trying to argue that its counter productive to not 'reward' genocide while arguing that your own understanding of history and politics is itself supremacist is an automatic failing grade in reality.Of course they can!
And pointing out that voting that way is stupid and counter-productive is just pointing out reality to them.
That you don't like me pointing out reality doesn't prevent reality from existing.
People who voted against a candidate because of their hair style will also be voting in an extremely stupid way.
I'm glad you understand this.
Your argument is that you must vote dishonestly to fix the system?That you cling to this delusion is the whole point of this argument and really I should drop it because it is clear you are never going to abandon your fantasy.
The First Past the Post system does not allow for that.
In fact, it works against it.
This is the whole point of why it needs to be changed.
Voting "honestly" in this system leads to worse outcomes.
Until you understand that, you understand nothing.
Your superior understanding argues you must vote 'dishonestly' to fix a system by 'rewarding' someone you admit is aiding genocide.And your argument would be silly and ridiculous, because you don't understand voting systems.
Netanyahu wants war with Iran but wants the US to fight it on their behalf.One that has to be careful about how much they escalate a war.
But Bibi and company have talked about finding ways to strike at Iran as well.
It isn't like they don't want to do it, they just don't think they can get away with either right now.
