Genocide Joe has lost the election due to his full support of genocide. Which means women's access to health care is at risk and all marginalized people will be in more risk in the States. I still don't understand how we can afford to fund state sponsored murder but cant get health care. There's never any money for Healthcare, a living wage, or access to education but ALWAYS money for weapons and arms. It's disgusting. Joe Biden is disgusting and a failure.

‘It’s not about you. People opposing an active genocide is not about you. It’s not about your religion. It’s not about your feelings. It’s not about whether your feelings feel safe on an elite university campus. It’s about ending an active genocide. It has nothing to do with you.’

YES.

Thanks for keeping up the pressure. And for your heart.

Biden is trying to have it both ways. Apologists will make excuses for the old turd, just as they did for Obama "oh, but he had a sad when he signed that kid's death warrant!" "Oh, but he had 'serious misgivings' when he started the latest war of aggression!"

None of that matters, except so humans can rationalize their evil deeds, and a particularly weak rationalization at that. The kids are dead and the war started just the same.

My 2024 predictions - all just my opinion....

We are being set up for war with Iran. IMO, nukes will fly. It seems to me that Zelensky and Israel are eager for nukes.

Zelensky will be getting his $60 billion, and Ukraine will be admitted to the EU, to enable direct war with Russia.

Thank you Caitlin. The US is a failed state as far as I'm concerned. Biden's only doing what the US has done for decades. He's just a more disgusting iteration of the same ole same ole.

Sorry to hear of the gas lighting and abuse you must experience for defending the plight of the Palestinians and atrocities that are continually committed against them. I think a lot of people must find strength in your lucid and engaging commentary. I’m sure those poor souls in Palestine will be eternally grateful for anyone advocating on their behalf. Good luck.

“Hamas can end this any time by surrendering” really just means “Israel gets to keep murdering Gaza’s children until Gaza’s government gives it what it wants.” Gaza's government could not give Israel what it wants. it wants Palestinians to disappear.

I think Biden’s deep Christian roots programmed him like a robot to support and defend Israel no matter what Israel does. I think the Bible is why many American Christians on the right and on the left still support Israel. I think it doesn’t matter who is president next, they will support Israel. I think they all have their heads up where the sun never shines, and I wonder if that will ever change? I also wonder if the people running Hamas now wish they had nor ordered the October 7 attack, and I wonder why they have not offered to return all the hostages that were taken,, if Israel will stop attacking Gaza and will pull its troops out of Gaza?

"It’s not okay for grown adults to believe this." - but the thing is they aren't grown adults. They look like adults, but their brains never progressed past juvenile stage.

“Hamas can end this any time by surrendering” really just means “Israel gets to keep murdering Gaza’s children until Gaza’s government gives it what it wants.” Which is about as evil a position as you can possibly imagine. This is not an acceptable position for any person to have."

Yeah, but try to convince someone that their "evil position" isn't acceptable when you have Genocide Joe and his gang setting a precedence that murdering children/civilians is just something the US does to stay good friends with its "aircraft carrier in the Middle East" a.k.a. Israel. The sociopaths just keep insisting that the murdering isn't happening. The latest is "those weren't babies--they were plastic dolls in incubators." It's unnerving. We need to invent a rubber room the size of a city to lock these evil-positioned/unacceptable persons up for good. #FreePalestine

State of the Union: A crazy president, a destitute empire suffering imponderable moral depravity, bombing itself into eternal damnation.

This is a psychotic breakdown the world will not forget for a very long time. Gaza is a historic pivot point sealing the empire's fate.

Self-immolation is never a pretty sight.

Americans still have their bases in Germany and try to control our media and politics. Our politicians and media march in lockstep with the US and Israel even more than in Canada or elsewhere. My hope is the younger generation who have been taught to despise racism and understand the message of the Holocaust as resistance to government indoctrination. The public yelling and condemnation of pro-Palestinian activists is Fox on steroids.

I thought current US law prohibit US weapons sales and military aid to be used for offensive purposes or to kill civilians or violate international law or conduct ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Congress is letting Biden get away with bypassing Congressional approvals and vioalting US and international law.

Question for the Legal Eagles out there: Can some peace group or citizen sue to enforce the law? Do such groups have legal standing to sue? If so, why isn't homelike like Code Pink suing Biden? Biden is already being sued for complicity in genocide. A lawsuit to block US funding would be far more effective than the international criminal court enforcement of relying on a novel genocide prosecution in US federal court.

You write: “Is there anything else I can do to end this sooner?” Yes, you can write about those who want the same things you want with concrete actions, such as freeing Marwan Barghouti.
