Baby steps

First we say, hey you really have to stop

Then you say, we’ll pause your weapons for a short time if you don’t stop

Then you say hey don’t you want to do this cease fire? It’s a really good cease fire.

Then you say you really have to stop, oh by the way here’s more weapons

Then you have to say you know what you’ve been really good this month about not killing too excessive a number of civilians here’s more weapons

And then the administration changes and the new administration gives a bunch of weapons

Edit: Oh also I’m disappointed that this story doesn’t seem to have seen any discrepancy between US people coming out the meeting all hopeful for a cease fire, and Netanyahu coming out of the meeting and telling the media “yeah dude we’re gonna keep killing until we feel like we’re done, and at that point we’d be happy to cease firing, sure.”

Guys, while he’s in the White House with all these security people around him would have been a GREAT time for the ICC to issue a warrant and for the US to say “well you know we can’t argue with that, law and order and all” and fuckin grab him. Just saying. I know it’s not that simple, you don’t want Harris to lose the election because the electorate can’t let go of their war crimes, but… fuckin live a little sometimes. You got all these security people there (definitely more than Netanyahu brought with him)… give them something really excitement inducing to do for once.

Well for once thing, the US is not a party to the treaty that created ICC, and they have not accepted ICC jurisdiction.

Oh is that all

Yes yes I know, my theory is pure fantasy, it will not happen. 🙁 For that among like 8 other reasons. But if the anti abortion can dream of the change they want to see in the world for 40 years before making it happen, I can dream about a bunch of marines putting Netanyahu in cuffs while he’s protesting that he is above the law and trying to struggle. Hey, at least they didn’t bomb his family’s home and pour cement in his water supply and give him dysentery. He got off easy.

You are delusional ahahahah. Killing terrorists is us living a little. Also give a fuck if Harris loses. She can’t even get out more than 3 words without having to look down at her teleprompter. That is seriously baffling.

Oh for fuck’s sake are we back to teleprompters again? It didn’t work when the GOP tried it on Obama, what makes you think it’s going to work now?

I don’t know if we watched the same speech but if she continues with that kind of performance then I do think she will face a tremendous concern.

Yes yes I am sure Netanyahu would fight his way out of the White House like Rambo powered only by the strength of his genocide and his 5 man security team or whatever

(I mean, you’re not wrong that the whole thing is delusional. It is a pleasant imagination of what should happen in a just world, but I am not imagining that it is realistic or even close to it in this reality.)
