it's not entirely Kamala's fault. she came up in San Francisco moderate machine politics, which trains you to lie to your left, act to your right, and believe in absolutely nothing that is coming out of your mouth
So let me get this straight. People under 55 can be used to keep elderly residents alive, but once the resident dies, the caregiver is disposable? Caregiving is a thankless, brutal job that literally destroyed my health. Caregivers need protections, not eviction campaigns.
@fathersofpeople They might as well be dead the way they're ignoring their half of the domestic labor and child rearing responsibilities. They'd probably would be better off dead, too, the way they're only adding more burden on their wives by being just another child for her to take care of.
@ShimShamFimFam Deeply insecure men with emotional intelligence of a worn shoe call women immature and stupid (and still think they're entitled to women' bodies and domestic labor).
Owen Jones is correct here. It is a fact that well into the genocide 95% of Israeli Jews believed the IDF was using the right amount of force in Gaza, or not enough.
The polling data shared by Owen in the thread confirms the super - super majority of Jewish Israelis continued to support the genocide throughout … indeed… to this day.
You can think this data will paint Jewish Israelis in a negative light and therefore lead to blowback against them — and you are 100% correct about that.
The solution to that problem is NOT to avoid talking about genocidal mania in Israel, the solution is for Israeli Jews to stop supporting the genocide, indeed, end the genocide, end the siege and allow Palestinians to exercise their political rights. https://t.co/2ZdstqhieI

Note Biden officials are not regretting anything they did, they’re supposedly regretting what they *didn’t do* but passivity is not the issue. They’re using nonsense Responsibility to Protect framing as if their sin is NOT intervening, rather than active participation in genocide
This is ridiculous propaganda that is trying to clean up the image of the war criminals who absolutely were aware of what Israel was doing and was planning on doing from day one. Jake Sullivan KNEW. Blinken KNEW. McGurk KNEW. They all knew everything we all witnessed - and even more. They lied every single day and they gave Israel a blank check to slaughter children and exterminate entire families.
The author of this piece - David D. Kirkpatrick - also co-wrote an October 2023 piece (“Hamas Propaganda) with Adam Rasgon that collapsed Palestinian journalists into Hamas. Horrific read that I taught in my class on the media & genocide as a prime example of genocide manufacturing.
By also making this about Netanyahu, the entirety of Israeli state and society - complicit and supportive of the extermination - is protected.
Absolute drivel and that the NYT stenographer for the Biden admin - Peter Baker - is sharing it, tells you what you need to know about the function of this piece.
Haaretz reports that the Israeli military has refused to explain the reasoning for the Israeli strike that killed five members of the Nesman family in Gaza City’s al-Nasser neighborhood on Saturday.
Killed were Adham Nesman, 42, his wife Marwa, 40, and three of their children: Arwa, 8, Ibrahim, 16, and Yahya, 18. Their 13-year-old son was the only survivor because he had gone to the market.
Palestinian sources believe the father was the intended target, but there is no record of his affiliation and whether he was involved in any military activity. Haaretz said the military did not respond to requests for comment, and has not published any details about the incident on official channels.
+972 Magazine had previously revealed that the Israeli military operates a “Legitimization Cell” to justify Israeli actions when international criticism mounts, including finding material that can be used to portray Palestinians killed by Israel as Hamas operatives.
