"The US has been pressing Israeli officials to begin the more targeted phase of fighting Hamas as the death toll continues to grow in Gaza."

Biden did it again, but the #GenocideJoe propaganda operation will never give him credit for the wins, only blame for whatever Bibi does.

@Myphatself

To remind you, Biden is president of America, not Israel. He has no direct control over what Israel does.

So he has to use diplomacy, and he's done so. He brokered the hostage release deal, he's kept Israel from overreacting to Hezbollah, and he's getting them to focus on Hamas, not all of Gaza.

Take the win and give him credit.

You do realize that there's no algorithm, right? Right?! Oh, you sweet summer child, you think you're on Twitter...

I stand by what I said. Not all jobs are created equal. Not all take equal levels of skill, not all provide equal value.

Some jobs could be done by almost anyone, others require extensive training that not everyone can complete.

Some tasks marginally improve the quality of someone's life, others make all the difference between life and death.

You could have made a case for all work being valuable and deserving of a living wage, but you overstated it to absurdity.

@jeffowski

Call me an elitist asshole, then, but I'm going to say that being a doctor requires a bit more training than being a barista, and has more positive impact on society. And I say this despite loving coffee.

As for billionaires, they aren't the issue.

Hamas started this with a massacre. It can end it at any time with an election.

Oh, look, a Russia-loving Trumper, only from the left.

@Hunter @gnutelephony

The power to cut off your own nose to spite your face is, I guess, a *kind* of power. But why use it?

Biden is the only thing standing between Bibi and a flattened Gaza.

#AbandonBiden is the dumbest take possible.

Posts like the one linked below are a magnet for never-Biden responses, but take a look at the accounts.

By and large, they're fake. Recently created, few posts, few followers. Utterly disposable.

I think we do, sorry.

If it helps, I wrote this last time and all of it still fits.

Here's my rant against protest votes...

There are a bunch of accounts spewing pro-Hamas propaganda. Some of them are using disturbing images, and these aren't necessarily real.

Trolls get blocked.

I'm an American liberal with no tolerance for the intolerable.

So if you're a populist, whether from the fascist end of the horseshoe or the socialist one, just move along.

If you engage, you'll only wind up blocked. Don't waste my time with your nonsense.

He adds that, back in the 1970's, the term clearly referred to support for a secular single-state solution, as indicated by the fact that it specifies the entire region.

But with the demise of the viability of this solution, I'd say that the remaining interpretation is a different sort of single state: a Palestinian nation built over the bones of the Israelis who didn't flee in time.

Is this what you actually want?

@SparkleTea

For some people, this would be a goal. And those people -- the most genocidal of antisemites -- are provided cover by the clueless idiots shouting about rivers and seas.

@SparkleTea

This section stuck out in particular.

The first step to not being a sucker is recognizing when you've been played.

In this video, #VladVexler spends over half an hour talking about and around (but mostly around) the issue of whether "from the river to the sea" implies genocide or at least ethnic cleansing.

His conclusion is that it does sometimes but not other times and it depends who's saying it, sometimes, which isn't really a conclusion. He suggests that, due to this ambiguity, it's a poor choice, regardless.
