Biden and trump are two sides of the same coin.
A neoliberal fascist vs. a classic Mussolini-esque fascist.
What a marvelous choice. God help us all.
Exactly
Yes. I feel bad for Americans that their choices come down to a despot wannabe or a genocide enabler. Thoughts and prayers 🙏
@@ChrisAlbertH47so should they support hamas ?
A choice between senility and insanity. Some choice.
I thought things were bad in the UK (and they are), but the US is on another level.
Shame on USA administration
The US, through Jake Sullivan, has confirmed once again that it supports G cide. Shameful, disgraceful, undeserving of the word civilized.
My post in agreement with your sentiments was swiftly censored by UT. Shamefu, disgraceful.
*what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
Allah himself testifies that he has a son and he is the son as Christians understand it! Only the Koran writer was too ignorant to know what Son of God means! Allah's word which created everything is Allah himself too! *The Word Allahs which created everything is the Son of God according to Christianity!*
Son of God does not mean that God has a child in Christianity!
*what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
Son of God are 2 titles one referring to the Word of God = God himself and one referring to creation (humans, angels, demons)
Hamas support = Youth culture + one or two odd-bods + transgender + LGBTQ
It's not going to get you far
Jake Sullivan disgusts me.
To say there's no G cide is being fraudulent First, the ICJ has ruled that there was plausinle G cide. The court used the term "plausible" only because the case isn't finished yet. The court will give a definitive ruling when making the final judgment.
Second, the US could find G cide in Xinjiang without producing a single body, but couldn't find one when over 34,000 civilians have died in this real G cide.
We are dealing with pure evil and criminal fraud here.

@AByers-ty. My post comparing the "no genocide" fraud in Gaza with the "there is genocide" fraud in west China (can't name the region), when not a single body has been produced, was swiftly censored by UT.
The US: 34,000 bodies = no genocide; zero body = genocide.

It’s time to talk
Why is the world still listening to what the USA say,
I’m baffled as to why they were listened to in the first place. They really suck at diplomacy and wars. Very good at supplying arm though.
The US government can't send weapons to a country that is committing a genocide because that is against US law. If the US government were to recognize that a genocide is occurring in Gaza, then Israel wouldn't get their weapons. Israel would not be able to continue what it's doing because the bulk of its military power comes from US military aid.
Shameful usa🤮
Blinkin is Jewish also, I wonder if he served in Israel military 😮
Nah.... don't be silly. 😂
Shhh child
He tried but he had bone spurs in his feet and couldn't stand the sight of blood, especially his own.

So what?? They can say whatever they want cause they are complicit in this genocide Shame on them
America is weaving the tapestry of their demise.
Spoken like a true Islamic nut. America will be just fine.
The fact that someone doesn’t believe genocide is happening, doesn’t change anything. The fact that some people are good with words, doesn’t change things. Truth is true!
Yep, there is no genocide so saying it over and over doesn't make it true.
If they deny it enough they figure it will go away.
Israel should be forced to stop administrative detentions.
IMO it's got the the point where the whole Israel government needs to be removed and replaced with a UN led administration for the sake of humanity
You would think that USA would know what Genocide is?! Ask the Native Americans to explain then!!!

Another one falling for hamas lies . You really believe hamas- they torture people , rape, televise their cold blood murders - is this what you want world look like??
Really ??
Hamas agreed to their own made up ceasefire terms. NOT the offer made by Israel. They are playing games with Palestinian lives because they are safe in hiding.
And to the release of the hostages.
Not to Israel’s plan, therefor it’s meaningless. The invasion goes on.

@@AnkitPal-ku7tp I want everyone to be free. It doesn't matter who they are, what color they are, where they are or what period of history they exist in. All people. Basic human rights.
The White House simply does not count Palestinians. If it were 35000 Israeli's then it is clearly genocide for them but it takes 10 times that of Palestinian deaths to count as genocide. Can you spot the flaw in this logic.
How long before the apologists for Islamofascists would come around to admitting that Oct 7th was a really bad idea?
Palestinians are no strangers at turning disasters into catastrophes and Hamas and other Islamofascists among them have only catalysed the destruction of the Palestinians.
30,000 Palestinians is genocide, and yet 300,000 in Yemen from Mecca and half a million in Syria from Assad is not.
Can you spot the flaw in the logic?
@@Charlie0l9Palestinians, those from Yemen and Syria, are black and brown skinned people so white supremacist western leaders do not care about their loss of life. Look closely and you’ll understand who’s behind the arming and killings in those countries. We need to see people in these countries first as human beings.
You're forgetting that my tax dollars never went to assad or the houthis@@Charlie0l9
@Charlie0l9
No flaw at all. Genocide is not defined by numbers, but by intent and certain war crimes. They cut off foid, water and fuel, which are war crimes and they said right at the start they will do so, which isvtge intent.
Thank you so much Mr. Marwan Bishara and Mr. Baca for the great analysis. ❤❤❤❤❤
Didn’t Hamas accept a deal last week but Israel invaded anyway. Also Israel stated they would invaded either way
Yes. Hamas accepted a cease-fire deal that Israel had reviewed. A few words were changed. Israel threw a fit, claimed they'd been deceived by a deal that had been fundamentally changed behind their backs, and refused to accept it.

Shame on the US
Countries need to act on their own outside the UN and US spin doctoring. Its not difficult
Simple minds spew simple ideas. Why would any country get kicked out of the U.N or go to war with the U.S over Gazans? The implications for their own people would be huge and unpleasant and how would they benefit by defending terrorists? Even Arab nations are not that foolish. Not even Iran, who gave Hamas the weapons to being about their own damnation.
What a joke.

Wouldnt expect US to say differently, do you ?

The problem with the American lie about the war would end if Hamas releases the hostages, is that Netanyahu is in the other side yapping about wanting to into Rafah regardless of a hostage deal or not
His key motivation is to annex Gaza!! At any cost! Netanyahu has always been a vile man!
How can the UN and US not be outraged over recent events and not table thump. The men have been weakened. Grandmothers, Mothers, Grand Aunts and Aunts together we need to stand up for these, men women and children experiencing these horrendous crimes. Let us not leave it up to the men who are persecuted in their jobs if they disagree with these human rights violations. We are their backbone, lets stand together in protest against these inhumane decisions made by the patriarchal dominants in elite circles who care for no ones children other than their own. We all need to stand up to this and not rely on the younger generations to stand up to our responsibility. All Baby Boomers and X generations, future peace and safety of civilisation is reliant on each and every one of us.
You know what! Define it as you want! Genocide or not. These are terms that do nothing for those who were slaughtered or starved. For us, the human world, what is happening is monstrous and unacceptable and we know that extermination is happening.

😂fun how no one is talking about the revised death toll numbers by the UN. Which makes it harder to prove that this is a genocide.
Allah oAkbar Allah wakeel Allah Kareem
It's kinda predictable that it wouldn't be labeled as genocide. The US also threatened the ICC if they sanctioned or attempted to arrest Netanyahu.
You know, there's a video going around speaking on how ww3 would start. I'm not that much of a conspiracy theorist, but it's pretty WILD how there is a video that shows how the US would start a war in the Middle East and somehow let the Middle East start ww3 among themselves. It seems to be playing out JUST LIKE THAT VIDEO SAID. Oh, the video was made a very long time ago.

Rejecting to deny complicity
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Genocide or not, the fact is that Israel is killing tens of thousands of children and women and men and elderly. They are also putting the hostages at risk, not only by continuong the assault but also by rejecting the ceasefire, which Hamas agreed to. So much for their care of thw hostages.
Shame on US.
It’s genocide without any doubt. The term "genocide" was defined in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. According to Article II of the Genocide Convention, genocide is:
"...any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
What does US have to believe when it is fully complicit in it?
Finally showing its real face.
Why do they need Aid ?
There has not yet been a single Frenchman indicted before a French court of justice for the murder of an Algerian
in Indochina in Madagascar or in the other colonies. The native has always known that he need expect nothing from the other side the settler's work is to make even dreams of liberty impossible for the native the native's work is to imagine all possible methods for destroying the settler.

There is no justification for genocide! I am so sorry Palestians because we can't stop this! History will judge us! Much respect to Palestinians from Portugal!
If you try and please all the people all of the time, you'll end-up pleasing nobody.
1. It was IL that walked away from the negotiating table. 2. Hamas has offered repeatedly over the past 7.5 months to return all hostages. IL has refused terms. 3. The ICJ ruled months ago that IL is committing acts of genocide. 4. IL shredded the UN charter last week, because the world is no longer supporting it, in light of its flagrant violations of international and humanitarian laws, and its utter disregard of the ICJ ruling.
4. Watch the 2016 doc The Occupation of the American Mind, to understand how US media tows the Zionist line that the US government supports.
