The history of Western Sahara is more complicated than this article suggests. Until France and Spain divided the Moroccan Sultanate -AKA the Alawi Sultanate- during the scramble for Africa, it was all part of Morocco.

I have no idea how this could be solved, other than uniting the entire of Maghreb. On one hand Morocco has historical claims to the Western Sahara, on the other the monarchy is reactionary and corrupt and the people of Western Sahara have a right to self determination. Though in the grand scheme Sahrawis are not a distinct group of people than their Arab and Amazigh neighbors.

To think that Gaza has been under siege for this long. No food, no medicine, no water, no electricity and no fuel.

No it isn't. But enabling a genocide and disregarding international laws, as Biden and Harris are doing, is.

Biden/Harris by enabling the genocide have squandered all the moral high ground the West/US claims to have.

Here's what the Financial Times wrote a year ago:

“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”

“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”

Just four weeks before the Hamas assault on Israel, leaders from the US, EU and western allies attended the G20 summit in New Delhi and asked developing nations to condemn Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians in order to uphold respect for the UN charter and international law. Many of those officials told the Financial Times they have had the same argument read back at them in demands for condemnation of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, and of its decision to restrict water, electricity and gas supplies there.

I am not voting for genocide either way. If things are as critical as Democrats claim -they are lying- they would have stopped the genocide but they didn't care enough to stop it.

There it is, right on cue.

"Vote for us or we will let the other team kill you"

You do realize that Biden already did order her execution, she just has to go visit her family in Palestine.

For a more concrete example: Justin Amash a former US representative had family members slaughtered by Israel in a church bombing in Gaza and Biden didn't care. https://www.newsweek.com/former-congressman-family-killed-gaza-church-blast-1836649

Hopefully some Arab countries can be on the list soon. Maybe one day a train trip could be possible. Imagine from West Asia to East Asia by high speed rail...

I am sure the ~~pro-genocide~~ pro-Harris voters will have reasonable and respectful things to say about this.

American military and intelligence officials have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate as Russia makes steady gains, and the sense of pessimism in Kyiv and Washington is deepening.

So what's next? A Vietnam and Afghanistan style rapid collapse of the US-supported government? Something entirely different?

1975 Fall of Saigon

2021 Fall of Kabul

202X Fall of Kyiv...?

It must be quite the shocking turn of events for those who were convinced Ukraine was going to win.

O'odham Woman Becomes Hero When Genocide Joe Comes to Town

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 25, 2024

"In the #GilaRiver Indian Community today, Biden claimed to be issuing an apology to #NativeAmerican children who were victims of U.S. #BoardingSchools. His glory campaign was short-lived.

"As Biden spoke, an O'odham woman held up this sign: 'There Are Still Babies in Mass Graves. Your Apology Means Nothing!! #LandBack!'

"Calling out to Biden, she said, 'What about the people in #Gaza! What about the people in #Palestine?'

"'How can you apologize for a #genocide while actively committing a genocide in Palestine! #FreePalestine.'

"Security removed her."

 

In Michigan, home to the nation’s largest Arab American communities, 13.3 percent of Democratic primary voters selected “uncommitted.” In Wisconsin, where Biden won in 2020 by roughly 20,000 votes, more than double that number signaled the same status. And in Pennsylvania, where the margin is expected to be just as razor-thin, about 60,000 people, including Shepperd, wrote in some version of not-Biden. All three states carry outsize importance in determining November’s winner.
