    ISRAEL DOES NOT NEED TO SUPPLY GAZA WITH THESE RESOURCES

    Actually they do under international law! Interesting how Israel supporters seem to think following international law is optional for their favourite genocidal apartheid state!

      I guarantee you she just straight up doesn’t know that Israel controls Gaza by land, sea, and air, and controls all of its resources. the moron actually thinks Israel gives Gaza all this stuff out of the goodness of their hearts or something.

      Today on “Celebrities who pretend to understand geopolitics and publicly lambast those who actually do”.

      I would tell her to just stick to comedy but she’s not good at that either.

    Israel legally prohibits Gaza from building any water infrastructure without a permit, which must be granted by Israel and almost never is. Additionally, the IDF routinely destroys infrastructure of all kinds in Gaza as a matter of deliberate policy.

      It sure would be cool if these obvious, clearly written out facts ever came up in the discussion from the “reasonable practical adults in the room” instead of Palestinians just being a bunch of genetic terrorists.

      Like how the idf stated they were going to bomb that hospital right before the hospital got bombed that now liberals are trying to claim never got bombed.

      If it meant avoiding uncomfortable thoughts these ghouls would torture us to death for no reason while lecturing us and never even consider the possibility they weren’t perfect moralists.

    ‘Spend billions of dollars on terrorism’ is such a weird and funny sentence, like Palestinians are budgeting for and paying a Terrorism tax instead of supporting local business. Libs really can’t understand how anything gets done outside the framework of money within a capitalist state.

      Every time I hear this claim about Hamas spending all of Palestine’s money on… uh… jerry-rigged hang gliders and scrap rockets… all I can think of is Felix coming back again and again to Israeli’s policy of counting how many calories they let into Gaza, explicitly for the purpose of gradually starving the region’s residents

      Israel said the blockade was necessary to weaken Hamas. But critics say the blockade constituted collective punishment against Gaza’s population of more than 1.5 million.

      A US diplomatic cable revealed by WikiLeaks last year quoted Israeli diplomats as saying they wanted to “keep Gaza’s economy on the brink of collapse”.

      Gisha said: “The official goal of the policy was to wage ‘economic warfare’ which would paralyse Gaza’s economy and, according to the defence ministry, create pressure on the Hamas government.”

      “Why didn’t the Palestinians use all that time and energy to do X?” is always stated from this blind - seemingly deliberately blind - refusal to acknowledge how much of Gaza is kept running by the continued miraculous blood and sweet and genius engineering skills of Palestinian prisoners.

      If not for these folks working night and day to keep their families and neighbors alive, Gaza would have succumbed to the brutality of the Israeli occupation decades ago. What Sarah is ultimately criticizing isn’t Palestine’s refusal to build and innovate and capitalize in the face of adversity. What she casually dismisses is their refusal to die. Their refusal not to preserver. Their refusal to surrender to the tanks and the snipers and the bulldozers.

      Sarah Silverman wouldn’t last five fucking days behind the fences of Gaza. She’d be starving inside of a week, while her neighbors were hustling to enact the kind of IRL prison break her washed up ass would have fucking loved to get a cameo in the epic movie retelling of. She watches Palestinians spin straw into gold and bemoans their lack of entrepreneurship? Absolutely shameless.

    Isreal made it pretty simple: If you all just die, we won’t have to kill you anymore.

      Unfortunately for said hostages, the Israeli military as a formal policy (Hannibal doctrine? Or something) which they denied, then leaked verification, considers all captured personnel K.I.A. and has even tried to preemptively kill their own units if it looks like they’re going to be taken or overrun.

      Kinda paints Adam Sandler’s role in You Don’t Mess With The Zohan in a very different light

        I might be misremembering but I think I learned about this from what I read of World War Z lol. Like something where Israel was extra effective at containing the zombies because of this doctrine? Idr. It was 20 years ago.

          Ah nice. Full circle from the fascist, mostly subliminal hinting at acknowledging the very clear and open class war depicted in the classic zombie horror trope, contrasts nicely with the innate horror all working peoples have of wealthy, depraved blood sucking parasites living a life of luxury for them and horror for us

      She’s female bill Maher.

      She’s a “pregoresive” that makes herself unique and interesting by always reverting back to right wing talking points whenever push cones to shove.

      Aka a liberal.

    Russia simultaneously so powerful they can cause an undersea pipeline in the most heavily surveiled strech of ocean in the world without a shred of evidence, use Ukrainian missiles to crash into their own high priority targets like civilian residences, completely control the entire internet and all of U.S. politics for the last decade or more, but also is so weak, stupid, poor and inept 50 Russian soldiers charge into tank fire while all sharing the same trench coat and empty rifle with a single rusty bayonet split between them, etc etc etc etc

    …but it’s everybody else that’s brainwashed

    You know it’s bad when senior democrats and cable TV news lapdogs are like yo wtf why does Biden looks and sounds like a can of brain damaged dogshit? Oh I don’t fucking know maybe you cleared the field for the candidate that has already had two hemorrhagic strokes back in the fucking 90s, probably from the nut he bust after the three strikes law he authored passed and then again when he filibuster cheerlead us into Iraq 2.0. No stutter during that fucking speech, warmongering piece of shit

    Here is the tweet with all the factually incorrect bits removed:

      it's inhumane that Israel is cutting off water/electricity to Gaza.
      Israel made it pretty simple -
    
    
    
    
                                 Israel inhumane.
    
    
    
                                                              Hamas didn't
      spend billions of dollars on terrorism
