Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory.

In recent days, Israeli-backed armed militias have taken a leading role in emptying the territory along the ceasefire line, telling residents to vacate their homes or shelters.

Throughout the eight months of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued to open fire on Palestinians within range of the “yellow line” splitting the strip, and carry out airstrikes deeper inside western Gaza, killing more than 900 Palestinians since the truce began.

I thick we should sit with what you're doing here.

You're not a fool. You know perfectly well that I despise Trump. But you're accusing me of supporting him because you know it's a vicious and disgusting thing to say. You're resorting to vulgar insults because my words hurt you deeply, moreso because they're coming from an ally. I'm violating the safety of the fiction you're sheltering in, and if you can convince yourself that I'm actually some kind of manipulative fascist that is doing it to hurt you rather than help you confront painful truths, it makes it easier for you to dismiss my words.

I don't think this is a conscious plan. But this is what a worldview trying to protect itself from painful truths does.

I'll say no more. I will accept your anger. But I wish you progress on the journey we're all on.

Yes. I get angry. When someone says 'they're the same'. I'm perfectly aware how the dems aren't good enough. But they're so obviously better than maga, that it pisses me off when idiots refuse to vote for 'better' due to some moronic notion, and as a result we end up with the generational damage cause by trump.
