Published in The Lancet, life expectancy in Gaza declined by over 30 years during the first 12 months of the genocide with conditions only worsening since then.

This was her justification - I am fine with her voting against MTGs doomed amendment.

What is an issue is her support of the iron dome, which gives Israel a license to commit genocide while bombing Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.

Your denial of credible reporting is genuinely disturbing. I’m sure everyone in the list below are simply antisemitic:

Forensic architecture proved that Israel has bombed “safe zones” shortly after evacuation orders systematically. It is intentionally targeting civilians, full stop.

What are your thoughts on this letter?

Written in part by Prof Benvenisti who defended Israel at the ICJ and Prof. Shany who argued Amnesty was wrong to call Gaza a genocide. They now say Israel’s latest plans in Gaza “may be interpreted” as genocidal.

What do you know that Israel’s top lawyers (who literally defended them at the ICJ) don’t?

Nice cartoons - you could try assessing reality sometime, but I don’t think you’d like the conclusions

Her base overwhelming supports Palestine, she chose to continue genocide and lose the election rather than move an inch to the left on Israel.

Biden and Harris were fundamentally disconnected from there base.

From a recent Gallup poll - 60% of Dem voters have a favorable view of Palestine while only 20% have a favorable view of Israel.

For the love of god open your eyes, get politically engaged, and help us end this madness.
June 27, 2025 at 3:02 PM
You are either poorly informed, or you support genocide.

Nearly ~60% of democrats support Palestine and only ~20% had a favorable view of Israel in this recent Gallup poll.

Our county is actively committing genocide, acting like this is about “memes” is fucking disgusting.

From DropSite News:

A new UNOCHA map shows that over 82% of Gaza is now under Israeli military control, displacement orders, or both. The few areas shown in grey are the only zones where Palestinians are still permitted to remain—but civilians there are also bombed and killed regularly.

This article does nothing to refute the various UN reports concluding acts of genocide have taken place.

These are factual conclusions from the UN, not opinion, not a statement from one member like the above:

Like, he was enthusiastically endorsed by the co-founder of one of Israel’s largest anti-war organizations…

None of their criticisms seem to stick

I personally don’t fully buy this, especially after the theatre they’ve pulled of in the past couple of weeks
