You don’t have to learn Morse code.

Power and the money, money and the power 
Minute after minute, hour after hour 
Everybody’s runnin’, but half of them ain’t lookin’ 
It’s goin’ on in the kitchen, but I don’t know what’s cookin’

What a ferkuffel.

Absolutely:

Realpolitik prioritizes practical considerations over ideological or moral concerns. This can involve making alliances or compromises with states that may have conflicting values or interests.

How else could we explain America allowing a genocide with 46,000+ deaths? It’s the reason people supported the Democrats, and a genocide, despite the threat of Trump and fascism. The ends justify the means.

We’re talking about what a catastrophic fuck-up Trump is for the Palestinians

Source? ‘cause from their pov he gave them a ceasefire. Talk about straw men. These conversations hinge on a futuristic, hypothetical series of events that may not happen. Will Trump be worse? Maybe. Probably. But that’s still in the future.

We know that Biden and the Democrats in the present, and past, failed to stymie Trump from taking office again , while aiding Israel in a genocide.

I have no problem with the Trump hate mills mentioning all of his fascist actions. But when that is used to apologize for Biden, the Democrats, and an actual genocide I have to speak out.

The Democrats were never gonna save us from fascism. It’s time we accept that and work together without them.

KHAN!!!

I’m sorry if I make you feel like you need to leave, it’s just a different way of viewing the world. I understand your sentiment about the threat of Trump, but I don’t excuse the Democrats role in allowing this to happen.

Lots of comments trying to sanewash an actual genocide. Humanity is not a team sport.

You’re so sure of yourself. A little humility goes a long way:

But those caveats should not obscure the fact that it was a Democratic president who so thoroughly failed in pushing Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders to accept a ceasefire deal—and that Biden’s incompetence is what has allowed Trump to take a victory lap before even taking office.

This failure had catastrophic consequences. According to the official death toll, Israel’s onslaught has killed more than 46,000 people in Gaza. Public health researchers estimate the actual death toll, which will only be known after buried bodies after pulled from the omnipresent rubble, is far higher.

I’m sure the Palestinians sleeping in tents tonight are wistfully reminding themselves that Biden was better because Trump might be worse.

Realpolitiks hasn’t failed the West yet, why should it now?

Meanwhile, Palestine…

Did you read that his great-uncle Maurice was an early backer of Israel?

His son, Maurice Blinken, was an early backer of Israel and founded the American Palestine Institute which helped persuade the United States to back the creation of Israel.

Damn, you beat me, have a downvote

My thoughts as well.

Big Language works in timescales unimaginable.

When military coup? Asking for a friend.

Is this the right way to protest climate change?

Recuperation would be a better description.
