Reminder that saying "not now" without providing another time just means "not".

The Biden-Harris administration does not support a Palestinian state.

And you specifically want every Palestinian to die, since you're more than good with trump making that a reality

I don't recall advocating for the Genocide of Palesitnians supported by Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't believe you forgot the last year of anti-democrat posts and never once ever warning anyone about trump.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Strange since I have made multiple posts calling out Trump but you never show up there. Seems like you only show up when Kamala gets called out to yell about Pootin.

So out of thousands and thousands of times lying about Israel's actions being Biden's, how often did you take a break to mention trump? Because what I do see is that any time he is brought up you pretend it's off topic.

And there it is instant denial of Bidens complicity in Genocide.

Sorry for not being a morally reprehensible liar who is willing to blame someone who didn't do something because I'm getting paid to tell that lie

Or is the goal to kill Palestinians?

The US doesn't get to decide.

The problem is that they kinda do, though... any of the 5 permanent members (US, UK, France, Russia, China) can veto a state seeking membership to the UN. Obviously other countries can still recognize them, but being excluded from the UN precludes lots of services and agreements, and at a minimum just makes everything harder

Palestine was authorized in 47. Its neighbours over ran it (stole the land) months later. The vote back then was done differently than the way they do things today.

I’d say the shit show started then but it started long before then. And it’ll be going on long after I’m gone. Fucking religion.

Stop killing the people trying to put one together and see what happens.

These people, who have existed for a pretty long time, don't matter.

"Palestine not ready for statehood," says Israeli puppet to the UN.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No shit sherlock.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whats required isn't status change now, but commitment to a plan to achieve statehood

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 month ago

No what's required is a status change now. "Commitment to a two state solution" is a straight up lie. Many countries have already recognized Palestine.

Yeah no shit, with half the place being rubble and controlled by a terrorist group, while being at war and going through a genocide why would it ever be ready?

It's almost as if by letting terror and war rage there you can always hide behind this excuse, how convenient...

Edit: Gaza, not the west bank

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The West Bank is not controlled by Hamas and would be ready for statehood at any time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Okay, that is true and I agree with it. I was too focused on Gaza
