Summary
Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
The sanctions, established under Executive Order 14115 in 2024, targeted those “undermining peace, security, and stability” and froze U.S. assets of sanctioned individuals.
This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.
Trump’s decision aligns with his previous support for Israeli settlements, which most countries consider illegal under international law.
This might come off as funny if it weren’t for the fact that “genocide Joe” is entirely fair.
After literal decades of trying to convince the Democratic establishment that being marginally better than the fascists isn’t “good enough”, I don’t personally have much tolerance for scolding voters. Maybe this election could have been won, but the eventual outcome was inevitable. Neoliberalism is woefully incapable of restraining fascism.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I hate the term “Genocide Joe”:
See the expression should be Netanyahu is treating the Palestinians like Hitler did the Jews. So why are we [Joe/Harris] so blindly following this.
And I know the political answer to this is Joe/Harris were trying to use there position for political pressure… I’d say it failed but they did get a last min ceasefire, so history may prove otherwise.
Yeah! So we should vote in fascism! And then actively rip apart the non fascists…. That will definitely create a great new liberal party right? So what’s the plan after the fascists take over?…… there is a great next step that will make the 4d chess move of electing the fascists make sense….tight?
Okay here’s the thing: Y’all need to either found a progressive third party or coopt the Democratic party. I don’t care which, but pick one, stick to it and actually make progress on it. The current dichotomy between neoliberals and fascists was always going to end with fascists winning. It’s simple math, really; if a Democrat in charge gets you X (could be 0, but let’s face it it’s some small but positive number) steps towards fascism and a Republican in charge gets you Y (>X) steps towards fascism then no matter how you look at it your only possible end state is fascism. To steer yourselves out of the fascism course you need to switch up the values such that on average you move away from fascism every election, and that ain’t happening with the current DNC leadership in charge. I don’t have the answer on how to overthrow neoliberals (though I do have my guesses) but y’all are driving full speed ahead towards fascism land and the “let’s decelerate a bit” party won’t change that.
It has to be a takeover of the Democratic party. Third party strategies are non-starters in a first past the post election system.
I think your assessment is 100% correct.
While a third party would have a long way to go (possibly never) before it can run for the presidency, I seriously think it’s possible to overthrow the two main parties in at least a few states and secure a foothold in Congress, like Bernie did but on a larger scale. Let’s also not forget the impact of state and local politics. The spoiler effect definitely complicates things, but I don’t think it’s any more of a problem than the fossils running the DNC.
Who and which billionaire would do that?
There is no savior coming. That’s what grass roots movements are for. It’s gotta be the people.
