When has Hamas said they want to welcome Jewish populations? I thought their charter was pretty vocal about not accepting Judaism: Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people. “May the cowards never sleep.”

If Hamas is tolerant of Judaism, why are there no Jewish families in Gaza? Honest question, I’m not an expert on the situation, just trying to make sense of the facts.

Please. You and I both know that’s a lie.

Do I sound like an expert? I’m genuinely trying to understand. I haven’t kept up on the most recent charter, that was useful information, thank you.

Gaza was started as a refugee camp for Palestinians after the Nakba in 1948…

Haven’t people been living in Gaza for centuries? Maybe it was called something else before. Did the Jewish families leave in 1948?

Asynchronous turn based game where each person plays a single character. Like Fire Emblem if all the characters were players.

You wouldn’t all need to be playing at the same time, and you could have lots of games going at once. I want that nice slow-burn play by mail feeling for a co-op RPG.

Maybe she knows that Biden losing would only result in worse deviation for Gaza.

Trump assassinated Soleimani and moved the embassy to Jerusalem; he’s said he’d reject humanitarian pauses and increase hostilities with Iran. I agree Biden should work to cut funding to Israel, but at least he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza, for medical care and humanitarian corridors; as bad as it is now, trump would make it staggeringly worse.

The two aren’t equal. In our two party system, a vote for Biden is a vote against Trump. Sometimes the best option you have on a ballot is harm reduction, you can’t expect voting to fix everything. We need to organize outside electorialism, but voting is still an essential task in slowing down fascism.

We’ve had the largest investment in renewable energy in our nations history, investment in infrastructure, a reduction in inflation, economic growth for the bottom 20%. His administration has protected access to contraceptives and abortion medications, expanded protections for trans people, and improved the immigration process.

If you think foreign policy was better under trump you’re delusional. Perfect is the enemy of good, we don’t need to love Biden to understand how keeping trump out of power protects millions of vulnerable people.

Russia has killed over 30,000 civilians during their invasion. How can you justify that volume of carnage?

I believe the Ukrainian people have a right to their land, and to defend themselves against foreign occupation.

Russia is the aggressor, they need to stop this war and remove their military from Ukraine.

I am also against war. I guess I was confused when you implied the US are the bad guys in the invasion of Ukraine.

There is only one country that can stop this war, and that’s Russia. To me that makes it pretty clear that if anyone were considered the ‘bad guys’ of the situation it would be them.

It doesn’t help that you’re repeating a lot of ugly propaganda; “Slava Ukraini” has been a popular phrase since the Ukrainian war for independence in 1917, it’s not a Nazi expression, it predates the existence of Nazis. It’s a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance to foreign aggression.
