    Well in the medieval textbooks it was a valid strategy…

    But this is horrific and along the lines of torture. Genocide and death by forced starvation are disgusting, despicable things that should not be happening in this modern era.

    Netanyahu… or however you spell his name… will go down in history next to Hitler, sadly, and the Biden administration supporting this genocide is on the wrong side of history.

    Even with all this said, I’m probably still voting for Biden in 2024. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

      FPTP is barely democratic, but it’s gone, it’s vote against who you want the least. 😕

      With how bad Trump is, it’s understandable. But make sure to vote pro palestinian candidates if there are any in primaries or on the ballot.

        I think your choices for most of the Western world are limited to “Palestinians die” or “Palestinians die while some cretin talks about what losers they are for dying”, unfortunately.

          That’s a bit extreme, there are plenty of reasonable voices, at least here on europe, although the pro genocide groups tend to stick together and have and outsize power for the votes they get, they’re not all there is.

          In the US you don’t have much choice but, that’s all the more reason to vote and suport pro palestinian candidates, if there are any in your area.

      For once, I’m glad I live in California, so I don’t have to actually vote for Biden this time (because everyone else will).

        I’m glad I live in Utah where I will definitely (and defiantly) vote for Biden because nobody else in this baboons butt-red state has the decency or morals to do so.

          Aha, another Utahn lemmy connesiur in the wild. I’ve tried to convince many to make the transition, dunno if a single one actually has.

            You wouldn’t have to convince me much to make a transition as far away from this state as possible. It’s my #1 goal on my bucket list.

              Eh, depends on priorities. Only place in the world that compares in powder quality even remotely is a very rural area in Japan. Let alone southern Utah. But yeah the politics outside SLC are gigafucked

                I lived in California for two years and loved it, I didn’t have a regular job but money was sort of in the air - I never lacked for it. And the coast (I lived in Santa Cruz) was stunning. I can’t afford to move back, but that would be my #1 choice. I loved the laid back atmosphere and most of the people there.

      You don’t have to go to medieval ages. It was legal to put certain ethnic groups in concentration camps only 80 years ago. Encouraged even…

      Genocide Joe must be punished for his support of israel.

      If you vote Biden this time it directly signals the Democrats that there is no line they are not allowed to cross.
