    Oh man, that’s awful. I hope Israel responded by working with their regional partners and the UN to free the hostages and isolate and discredit Hamas. With a measured response and a little diplomacy, they could probably get the hostages returned safely and show the whole world that Hamas is illegitimate and needs to be defunded and dismantled. Even Gazans are sick of their shit. Hamas got like 40% in an election 18 years ago and haven’t held an election or done shit for ordinary people since.

      But if they did that, how would Biden subsidize the military industrial complex by giving billions and billions of dollars to Israel so they can buy American weapons and ammunition to continue the same oppressive slaughter of Palestine?

      The guns and ammunition need to be spent on someone, might as well be spent on the brown people half the world away, like every American “war” after the Civil one.

      And just to note, this abject dependence on the military industrial complex to enrich the 1% has not caused a consistent and constant slide to the right of the entire US Federal government. All 2 sides.

      And we couldn’t have done this for Ukraine at the same level because if we did, we wouldn’t be within sucking distance of Putin’s tiny shriveled peen.

    This was already well known within a week of October 7th and was reported on extensively then. But continually bringing it up in this long drawn out process seems like an attempt to downplay or deflect from the ongoing atrocities being committed by Israel.

      Actually apparently the evidence it happened is apparently pretty weak. At least no credible source reported on it happening on a large scale as fact.

    Just like how Biden saw pictures of beheaded babies, right?
