  • There hasn’t been an election in Gaza since 2007, 16 years ago. Maybe they could have at least tried to have some sort of democratic process in that time? Palestine needs to appeal to the international community for support in negotiating with Israel. I agree Israel has not handled the situation humanley and has not done their best to negotiate peace either. However, Gaza is definitely not going to get anywhere under their current leadership, and this war had no chance of success for them, and their situation does not justify attacking or kidnapping civilians.


  • What would you do in such a situation

    Probably not kidnap and kill civilians from the other side, and not use civilians on my own side of the line as human shields when the other side retaliates, and not murder civilians on my own side of the line to prevent them from escaping, all of which would end up making the whole situation for the people on my own side so much more miserable and violent.

    The options are probably to have free and fair elections while conducting peace negotiations with the support of the international community. All of which have been thrown out of the window now in favor of another violent war that will certainly be lost.











  • AOC is a Progressive, not a revolutionary socialist. The same is true for Bernie. She wasn’t going to be able to do anything besides shift the Democratic party slightly to the left.

    Of course she is going to endorse Biden for President, there isn’t anyone competent running against him on the Democratic side. A third party candidate is unlikely to win and would take votes away from Biden, strengthening Trump.
