    You just said a lot of things that are wrong in a very short amount of time, try to fact check yourself instead of spreading FUD and misinformation.

    This is the only thing I’m going to correct, you can fix yourself on the rest:

    So voting for the lesser of two evils doesn’t work. We’ve done that for the past 50 years…

    No we haven’t. We vote for the lesser of two evils every other election or so, then get butt hurt and stop voting because Clinton’s emails, or because Gore is boring, or some other dumbass reason like that.


















  • This is pretty interesting. This topic was discussed ad nauseum when it happened, there’s even a cross post that’s over a month old with 280 upvotes and 50 comments.

    But on my feed post is showing as less than an hour old, and appears in at least 3 other communities for me.

    Also the headline of the actual article is:

    House passes bill to expand definition of antisemitism amid growing campus protests over Gaza war

    Nowhere in the article does it mention making “Gaza genocide protests illegal”. I think misrepresenting the contents of the article and changing the headline could very well explain why the posts was removed from another community.


  • I don’t think this is a fascist power grab. Benny Gantz is a centrist and a one of the main opposition leaders to Netanyahu.

    This part is pretty well documented and agreed upon by political experts:

    He’s been loudly advocating for a “day after plan” for the War in Gaza, i.e. what is the actual plan for Israels invasion and what are we going to do when it’s done? The day after plan is something Netanyahu has refused to provide. Many speculate that he hasn’t provided it because his plan is full occupation of Gaza and making it fully part of the Israeli state.

    This part is conjecture and maybe wishful thinking on my part:

    Netanyahu refuses to end the war so that he can stay in power. I think that Gantz recognizes the great international harm that the invasion of Gaza has done to Israel, which will only get worse until the invasion is over and Israel withdraws from Gaza. Gantz sees this as an opportunity make himself prime minister, end the invasion, and start some sort of peace process. This would allow him to start rebuilding Israels reputation and finding ways to establish a more stable peace.
