Yeah but you can't know for an absolute fact that Harris wouldn't have done the same thing therefore allowing Trump to get in and actually do it was justified.

People are literally saying she would have done the same thing elsewhere on Lemmy and it's just baffling. Anything to justify their lack of involvement in this, I guess.

Some of the shit people say on here just baffles me, sometimes. It's impossible to satirise.

Hey does that sound like this was planned all along to anyone else or what?

Of course that’s such a silly notion. My goodness.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago

Yeah Trump and co have been speaking about it for months that's what we were saying.

Maybe when someone tells you who they are, listen.

[–] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world 34 points 21 hours ago

I don't know how planned it was, but Kushner was on record saying that Gaza strip is prime beachfront property and should be used for development accordingly.

Bibi can't control his "settlers" anymore than trump can control his "patriots".

If the US tries to say they own Gaza, the extremists in Israel won't hesitate to attack them because they legitimately and truly believe sky daddy said they could have it.

You think either of those groups/leaders know the meaning of the word "share"?

I mean shit, just look at what Bibi's people say about Christians:

However, Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, who oversees the police, said in an interview with Army Radio that spitting at Christians was “not a criminal case” and that not everything “justifies an arrest”.

He said the incidents were “deserving of every condemnation” but urged people to “stop slandering Israel”.

The claim was echoed on Tuesday by Israeli settler Elisha Yered, who is suspected of involvement in the killing of a Palestinian teenager in August.

Yered said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “spitting near priests or churches is an ancient Jewish custom”.

"Perhaps under the influence of Western culture we have somewhat forgotten what Christianity is, but I think the millions of Jews who suffered in exile from the Crusades, the torture of the [Spanish] Inquisition, blood libels and mass pogroms – will never forget," he added.

That was 10/4/23, days before the attack.

They're not going to be ok with anyone besides Jewish Israelis living in Gaza

the extremists in Israel won’t hesitate to attack them

Who had an US vs Israel war on their bingo cards? We're reaching levels of idiotic pointless human suffering that shouldn't be possible.

Panama Canal, Canada, Greenland, Gaza…. He’s just trying to get his hands on whatever he can. That’s what he wants for his legacy, he saw Putin trying to get the band back together and wanted to emulate it.

The best part is the only justification for keeping china and Russia at bay was because the US is morally superior and doesn’t invade weaker countries just because it can. Well the US is 100% full of shit. All bets are off

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 21 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

US taking over Gaza. What could possibly go wrong here.
