TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel’s operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

    I blame them for making my minority friends fear for the lives they’ve built in the us.

    I blame them for making my trans sister fear for her life.

    I blame them for allowing republicans to completely destroy social services and vital parts of the US government.

    There was so much more at stake than continued genocide in a country half way around the world.

    They deserve at least some of the blame, because they allowed all this to happen.

      Ask yourself why you dont blame the party that decided to base their platform on supporting genocide. The dems chose the interests of a foreign nation committing genocide before the minority and trans community and the interest of their constituents in general.

          I did hold my nose and voted for Kamala but I shouldnt have to. Thats my problem with it. I had to vote for genocide to try and stop trump and I hated it. Why couldnt we get a situation where we voted for better medicare and to stop trump.

          Face it, the dems choose Israel over you and your loved ones and you’re pointing the finger at anyone but them.

        Thank you.

        I only wish the people who abstained had enough brain power to think more than a half step ahead.

        Fuck all of them. Every single one is an absolute shit stain, no better than a magat.
