I agree. It’s just not relevant to this discussion
Why would you assume I thought Trump was going to change anything?
Yes, let’s. Or is he not president anymore? Who the fuck else should we blame
The US is a fucking joke. Biden should be ashamed of himself
Of course “70% of the victims are either children or women” sounds horrible
That’s because it is horrible. The vast majority of Israel’s victims are innocent and that includes adult males, the vast majority of whom are also innocent.
I meant to comment on the data in the context of ‘biggest bar’
I didn’t even pay attention the post title for some reason, I just went straight to the graph! But yeah the population pyramid shows the issue with that claim.
Anyway, no worries and no harm done! I appreciate the clarification
Important points! It was just an off the cuff comparison
IMO, it’s not a great data set to claim Israelis are intentionally targeting children, but it is pretty good for saying they are not intentionally targeting military-age men.
Agree completely. I don’t think they’re intentionally targeting children but it does not look like they are targeting any subgroup in particular.
My original intent was just to say it looks pretty close to what you’d expect if you just dropped bombs at random. I might look to find better data later on
Good spot! Thanks
Unfortunately the genders are on opposite sides here but compare these two graphs and tell me the bombing is not indiscriminate
It’s been over a year since Israeli government officials announced that they were going to starve Gaza. They hold up aid for no reason. They massacred people collecting flour. They destroyed aid convoys they knew about and coordinated with. They have been doing exactly what they said they would and all America has done is make them pinky swear it would get better.
They will do nothing about this. Not because they will believe the lies Israel tells, but because they fundamentally do not care.
I really didn’t.
Edit: meaning I am not American and if I was I would have voted Harris, not that Trump is not significantly worse.
Over 50% of the god damn country voted for a man who has so many major, should-be career ending flaws we don’t even need to list them anymore. If he kicked a puppy it wouldn’t even make the top 10 worst things he’s done. The democrats lost to the stupidest president of all time, a man who’s entire economic policy revolves around tariffs that he fundamentally doesn’t even understand and who cannot seem to open his mouth without lying.
…and you’re here dunking on the people trying to oppose America’s blatant complicity in genocide. Well, you sure showed them.
“Yes, my candidate is Mussolini, but her opponent is Hitler! Clearly a vote for Mussolini is better than a vote for Hitler!”
Why would you be criticising Mussolini if you didn’t secretly want Hitler to win?! I cannot possibly come up with any other explanation. You must be trying to trick us.
You mean antagonizing European football fans can result in violence?
So it is going to be incredibly expensive to remove immigrants and… err… reduce GDP? This is the man America trusts with the economy because something something tariffs something something eggs
Maybe Trek was just a few years off on the Bell Riots
Blaming ordinary people achieves nothing. If you want to do that, why not start with the ones who actively voted for Trump?
The blame lies with the democratic party establishment. People were not happy and they decided to offer more of the same. And now they try to turn the blame on the guy struggling to afford his groceries rather than admitting to their failure, and then you fall in line and join the blame game. If they believed Trump was such a threat they could have made sure they had the best candidate they could get, with a primary. But they misled you and tried to make it your responsibility to bolster their shitty centrist candidate and convince everyone to ignore the blood on her hands.
IT DID NOT WORK. They were too pig headed to learn this lesson in 2016. If Trump really does what we fear, it might already be too late to learn it. But if it is not, you need to stop blaming your neighbours and start blaming the fuckers who keep trying to force shit sandwiches down your throat just because the other guy is literally Hitler.
Try standing for something other than just being better than Trump for fuck’s sake.
No worries dude. Sorry if I upset you!
In the future, when you finish your script or just look through my profile, you’ll see we’re on the same side.
This is what makes this especially infuriating. If you wanted to just say it’s fine in a month as long as they “tried,” don’t put a firm number on it. If you do put the number and yet you don’t care whether they actually meet it, you are treating us all with absolute contempt. Like we’re fucking morons who don’t understand how numbers or concrete demands work.
And that’s before we consider the moral implications. Did Biden stop caring whether people are starving in the past month? There is no excuse and I hope he ends up on trial for his role in this before he dies.
