Let’s remember the polling data.

Another question asked in the aChord poll was to what extent respondents agreed with the statement that "there are no innocent people in Gaza." Sixty-four percent agreed with it to a large extent (describing their agreement as between 4 and 6 on a scale in which 1 is total disagreement and 6 is complete agreement). Among supporters of the governing coalition, 87 percent agreed with the statement to a large extent. Among supporters of Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party and other right-wing voters who don't support the coalition, 73 percent largely agreed. Among voters for centrist parties, the comparable figure was 67 percent, while among left-wing voters, 30 percent largely agreed. Among Arab Israeli respondents, 92 percent disagreed (meaning that they ranked their agreement as between 1 and 3).

If there are no innocents in Gaza, then why would the average Israeli even feel shame for what the IOF does? It’s all a part of the genocide. It will not end voluntarily. It seems that there must be force involved to stop it.

Learning in my 20’s of what Israel, the righteous land that we praised in song during Seders, had done in the past, is part of what turned me away.

Never Again is an absolute. There can be no genocide allowed, regardless of who the people are.

“Children in solitary confinement” should be a sentence that no one has ever uttered. Well, according to a significant number of Israeli’s, that kid was going to become a terrorist, so they should nip it in the bud.

Israeli ministers can fuck right the hell off. Murderous snakes. I long for the day of their downfall.

Literally? There is no reason for life. Which scares people, so they develop superstition (theology) or ascribe it to emotions (happiness, suffering, etc). There is no reason, for life. The reason for life existing or how it came to be is certainly up for debate, but there is no why. We are alive, we are conscious. Eventually our bodies give out on us, and our life ends.

The thing that scares me about these laws being passed is that they serve to embolden those who want to hurt us. MAGA uses this as a hate feedback loop. They are winning. Any anti-LGBT bill that passes is a W for them and a step closer to the edge of society for us. It’s not going to stop.

About 25% of the time I will start writing a comment only to find that I don’t think my argument is compelling enough, or otherwise is not something I feel makes a good point.

GET A JOB SIR!

It could really tie a room together.

He’d be a hero to his stupid base when he had to have the courage it would take to renege on the pledge, blaming it on a conspiracy against him.

This is because his supporters are amongst the dumbest, most gullible and hateful people in the nation.

They’d much rather watch a video of a doofus asking him questions that had been provided by Trump himself. They don’t have any interest in hearing anything others have to say, just their god man.

One would think it would get boring hearing the same, obviously fictitious, dribble from the same angry man all the time. But again, his supporters are idiots, and it’s an exercise in futility trying to understand them.

We shall see!

I ~~am~~ was an Apollo user, and decided that Reddit killing it was too much. I switched to Lemmy, and while it has been an adjustment, I am reminded of the days of forums past. I dig it. Using Voyager (formally Wefwef) has helped preserve most of the UI of Apollo, which is nice. I had never heard of Progressive Web Apps before, and am super interested in the topic now. This makes me want to pick up programming again, in hopes of eventually being able to contribute to open source projects.
