"#Israel is staging a massive offensive across four major refugee camps in the north of the #WestBank. The raids, at their height, pushed 40,000 people from their homes. Many are now sheltering with relatives in neighboring villages, others racking up debt renting apartments while they wait to return.

#Israeli officials, meanwhile, have said those displaced will not be allowed to go back for at least a year."

    When people are left with a choice between a) genocide or b) genocide, then the “lesser evil” argument stops making any sense.

    How this has anything to do with communism or fake communism is still a mystery to me.

      The lesser evil makes sense when the greater evil is significantly more evil, and will cause far more damage worldwide. Zero people are perfect.

      Many countries sell weapons to Israel. And because no one seems to be calling them out just makes it obvious that this has nothing to do with the Palestinians, and everything to do with wanting to crush the United States.

      So, you can try to hide behind genocide, but it’s laughably clear none of you actually give a shit. Genocide is happening all over the world. Where are you to call that out? Oh, it doesn’t have anything to do with the US? I guess that kind of genocide is okay then.

      Hypocrisy.
