    NO!

    Come back, Thomas Kennedy!

    How can you turn your back on the Florida DNC after working there for [checks notes] three years?

    You post a lot of stuff that makes Biden look bad and Trump look like he is winning. Fuck Israel, still. But you’re being really loud about your intentions.

      You’re right. I guess I better only post pro Biden articles so everyone gets complacent.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    As this mass killing continues unabated and the Biden administration circumvents congressional authority to greenlight more weapons sales to Israel, and the Democratic Party is actively kicking off his primary opponents from the ballot in several states, I’ve decided the proper thing to do is submit my resignation.

    The bombardment has flattened buildings and civilian infrastructure and has included attacks against hospitals that are supposed to be off-limits under laws governing warfare but are nevertheless targeted by Israeli forces claiming that they serve as Hamas operation centers.

    The United Nations says that more than 90 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been displaced and that severe water shortages are creating a deadly risk for children, with the looming threat of large-scale disease outbreaks.

    I’ve dedicated a good portion of my life to help other immigrants navigate an unforgiving and broken process meant to keep them in the shadows while they labor away with no prospects for a proper retirement or social benefits.

    Modern asylum laws were created after the horrors of the Holocaust were revealed to the public with the defeat of Hitler’s Nazi regime and the liberation of concentration camps by Allied forces.

    The Florida Democratic Party has joined several other states in barring any other candidate aside from Biden from appearing in this year’s primary ballot despite challengers like Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., and author Marianne Williamson polling between 5 and 10 percent each.


    The original article contains 1,366 words, the summary contains 237 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    So he should back the slaughter of Israelis instead? Why did Palestinians attack Israel if they did not want Israel to respond?

      Palestinians didn’t. Hamas did. There’s a distinction there.

      And before you start both-sidesing saying that the IDF is attacking Palestinians… Israelis voted for this current government, more or less. I assume it was a nominally fair election.

      The last election in Gaza was won with a minority vote for Hamas (44%? they were a plurality-vote, whoever got the most won). further, that was back in 2006. they haven’t had election since- and that was 17 years ago. This means that about half of the people alive in Gaza before Oct 7th were too young to actually vote in that election. And of the ones that were… most didn’t. source

        Less. It’s a coalition government that’s barely being held together. If Israelis had a chance, Netanyahu would be out on his ass. They’re sick of him too.

        minority vote for Hamas

        Meanwhile, Netanyahu got 24% of the vote in his last election.

          And yet… that happened… in '22? In any case Netty formed a coalition with, if my math is correct around 48% of the vote, with Likud having the largest share of seats.

          In any case, did you miss the part where over half of the people that would have been elegible to vote before this shit started were too young to vote in the last palistinian election… seventeen years ago?

          if my crude napkin math is correct, than means less than 22% of gazans had the opportunity to have any say in the matter at all. ANd lets not forget, also, that Netty saw to it that Hamas was given financial aid and support specifically to destabilize Palestine, for the sole purpose of preventing a viable Palestinian state…

          The point being that Israelis had nominal democratic representation that put Netty in power. Palestinians haven’t had that in almost two decades.

            What I’m saying is that Netanyahu, like Hamas, does not have a strong claim to represent the will of his people.

            Despite this Netanyahu is in power by manipulating election laws to his advantage, Hamas by not holding elections at all.

              and, lets just check our notes here… who helped Hamas obtain power again?

              Netanyahu, yeah?

      If he thought working for a party required agreeing with 100% of the leadership decisions, then he wasn’t meant for work in politics.
