I still remember the whiplash from some of the non-aipac democrats opposing torture at Guantanamo, mass surveillance, extrajudicial killing and the neverending war on terror when cheney/bush did it, but then the moment obama became president that opposition disappeared. There was never any justice for the things the government did during and after 11 September. It became depressing to see a lot of the worst defenders of the Iraq War and Neocons become part of the msnbc "resistance." How are they going to truly oppose trump when they gave the president/national security state all the emergency powers/continuity of government after 11 September?
Close down Guantanamo? Hell, Obama couldn't (wouldn't) even remove Louis DeJoy from the Post Office.
Why? Because those actually running the show want their secret torture prison and their incremental plan to privatize the Post Office kept alive at all costs. .
It isn't only that Trump wants to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from the Gaza strip, it is also that he wants the U.S. to take it over and make it the "Riviera of the Middle East". Many of us have known, long before October 7th, that Israel wanted to get the Palestinians out and make all of Gaza and the West Bank for Israeli Jews. Anyone who claims that ethnic cleansing is a new idea or a good idea is clearly deranged. Biden and his bunch, Starmer and his bunch, and other corrupt governments have all supported Israel's most recent genocide. These people are immoral moneygrubbers who don't care about anybody or anything except their bank accounts which is where they also keep their so called "feelings",
From 02:00 in this video, Mouin Rabbani speaks at length about the history of Israeli plans to expel the Palestinian population of Gaza since the 1950s.
It’s very informative, well done, thanks, recommend that people watch the displacement pauperization and creation of a stateless people in what came to be called the Gaza Strip that’s now mired in USA “fact, fiction and fantasy”.
They have always wanted the land without its people, since the 1800s. Theodore Herzl traveled to Palestine before the turn of the century and wrote to the Rabbis that "the bride is beautiful, but she is married to another man", the other man being the Arab people living there.
Thanks, Caitlin. I was reminded of this yesterday and now again: Who was that Ziogeneral/terrorist who in 1983 referred to Palestinians as "...cockroaches scurrying around in a bottle."? (That's Ziospeak, 40-plus years ago and much longer.) The Colonial Zionist enterprise in a nutshell, er, bottle....
Ds will steal your wallet and then "help" you search for it. Ds will invite you to a dinner/party but not give you home address. With Rs one at least knows what to expect without Ds drama, fake tears, and pretense. Cannot stand shitlibs.
I can't remember who said it first (possibly Thomas Frank or maybe even Caitlin), but the main role of the Democratic Party is to serve as an obstacle to the United States moving to the left. And it's hard to deny that they have been highly successful in that endeavor.
"liberals only care about feeling good about themselves." Their main priority is cash flow.
"They wanted to lose." They sent Bill Clinton to Dearborn to lecture the Arabs that Israel had a right to that land. That was political suicide. It's hard to explain any other way.
I really appreciate this article and many of the comments on it. I just wanted to post a link to an article on Gaza and the Palestinians who lived there---I am not sure where they are now. The article is from May, 2024, about Gaza as a birding spot! It is by Rebecca Gordon and is titled "Birding in Gaza". In retrospect I really worry about the people who lived there whom she talks about. My point is that in no way do I want Gaza to turn into a resort or think about its development as a global warming energy producer and tech hub. Here is a quote from Rebecca's May 2024 article: "If it weren’t for the Israeli occupation — and now the full-scale war that has killed more than 34,000 people, 72% of them women and children, and damaged or destroyed 62% of all housing — Gaza would be ideal for birding. Like much of the Middle East, the territory lies under one of the world’s great flyways for millions of migrating birds. Its Mediterranean coast attracts shorebirds. Wadi Gaza, a river-fed ravine and floodplain that snakes its way across the middle of Gaza, is home to more than 100 bird species, as well as rare amphibians and other riparian creatures. In other words, that strip of land is a birder’s paradise." https://www.juancole.com/2024/05/birding-gaza-nightmare.html
Gifting President Trump two pagers, one of them gold is a rather slap-stick way of saying 'Don't f*ck with us.' The entire world has had its fill of atrocious Israeli behavior. Only the political and donor class in the United States puts up with their evil, and now they are even complicit in mass murder and ethnic cleansing. By sending arms and ammunition including bunker-busting bombs to these Zionist lunatics, the Jewish state's use of bribery and blackmail has never been clearer. By having President Trump talk about cleaning up Gaza and emigrating its citizens America has now entered the world of political insanity. Israel is a giant albatross around America's neck.
Caitlin, you never fail to bring the issues down front. I kept saying, over and over again, "but didn't Biden oversee 15 months of genocide?" How did he get off the hook. Then I remember, so did Bush get off the hook. The thing that would show Trump was really about draining the swamp would have been to arrest Joe Biden for war crimes. But then that would mean he'd have to pay for them as well. I keep saying, to expect Israel to act humanely is like trying to teach a dog to meow. Israel and its before and after historical leaders are following the same path of Empire of its predecessors. It won't matter if Netanyahu goes to jail, there will be another, maybe even worse, if that's possible, to follow him.
It has never been about anything but ethnic cleansings of the Palestinians out of the area.
What was most incriminating, in my view, was the manner in which Trump parroted the same false claims and talking points of the so-called atrocities on Oct. 7th. He's all in, hook, line and sinker. Unfortunately, they will repeat these lies and just like 911 lies, they will re-write history right in front of our eyes. I hope that the historical record will bare the truth out, but I am not too sure it will hold water. There will need to be an underground movement that holds on to the truth of Oct. 7th and 911 as well.
Thanks for all you do, Caitlin, a strong, penetrating voice in the wilderness of lies. May you continue to prevail. Peace & Blessings, Nana Baakan

Yes, and also the illegal immigration issue with “kids in cages.” Ghastly evil when a Republican is POTUS, just meh 🫤 when it’s a Democrat.

So true. I hope not too many people get suckered into believing that suddenly the Democrats don't support genocide or some other ridiculous notion.
Far too many did. It's a cult.

It's called the "Ratchet Effect". I explained how the duopoly works along with a meme on this week's post: https://therevolutioncontinues.substack.com/p/they-did-it-again-and-again
"Ratchet" is a good visual aid for understanding how the system works.
This has been said many times in the past (various versions): The US has two parties: right-wing and fascist. And Rs are not the right-wing party.
Yes, I've heard that one too.
Displacement of Palestinians from Gaza under the pretense of fixing up the place has a name: renoviction.
YES!
"liberals only care about feeling good about themselves." Their main priority is cash flow.
"They wanted to lose." They sent Bill Clinton to Dearborn to lecture the Arabs that Israel had a right to that land. That was political suicide. It's hard to explain any other way.
Yeah that was a dead giveaway. Clinton sounded like Mike Huckabe.
The nail in the coffin was the DNC sending their soldiers to MOCK victims of genocide at the Democratic Convention last August.

From that point, Kamala should have just dropped out.
Thanks for the video. Gah! Shitlibs are why I want to create 1-800-bitch-slap so I can wipe the smirk off their faces.
Obama promised to codify Roe, but then said it wasn’t his priority.
Hillary thought that she had the election in the bag she picked Kaine who was anti abortion. So glad that ***** will never be president.
I mentioned Mike Rivero before - he said some 14 years ago or so that Israel wanted to steal Gaza because there is oil there.

As long as the world craves American carrot and fears American stick on Israel's behalf, they have nothing to fear.
A brilliant piece on the Gaza crisis and more! Thank you!
Israel is a Pinocchio State, spreading lie after lie since 1948.

the people who say the Palestinians belong in Jordan or Qatar or Egypt also want to take those countries and "clean them out" too
“Trump’s” idea of building a new “Riviera” in Gaza is also straight out of a Nachala promo video from last year (Israeli settler organization).
