"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"

If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

Have been reading Hangover Square (finally). Such a fascinating novel. What really jumps out from a London story in 1938 is just how ubiquitous fascist sympathies are in the characters.

"Why were Palestinians forced to negotiate an end to their own genocide?

It's really quite repulsive that Palestinians have had to negotiate
an end to their genocide.

It should have been that the world put sanctions on Israel to stop the genocide."

In his words ….

“Well, they did sign up for it actually, and this is what I campaigned on.”

For all the people leaving maga saying, “we didn’t know it would be this bad, he deceived us.”

No he didn’t, he was pretty clear.

You just didn’t care until it affected you.
