According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still – when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

We all know the US is a piece of shit country. Sometimes, I hope Trump wins (I hate him with a passion), so he can just definitely send that shithole down the drain, thus making those idiots learn about the meaning of consequences.

Lol… Not an American, but stood for democrats theoretical ideologies. But as an outsider it does make sense to put Trump on the presidency again to let him finish the screw up he started his last term.

One of the downfall is the global gag order that comes online about abortiom whenever Republicans win.

I was about to say this smells like disinformation. Cherry picking a more nuanced issue? Unfair portrayal since the USA may face the most significant consequences? Maybe. But ultimately, it still seems to boil down to shareholder primacy and US agricultural lobbies (my interpretation). That’s heartbreaking and everything that is wrong with the world currently.

Capitalism invents scarcity where it doesn’t already exist in the name of wealth.

If the authority declares food a right, it complicates the artificial scarcity required to profiteer.

Next up, air and water.

People don’t like the Jews any more?

I think they’re OK.

Criticising the actions of the Israeli government doesn’t equate to hating all jews.

Arguing in bad faith that the two are the same is a known Zionist trick to avoid accountability for their authoritarianism.

I’m Jewish and I think it’s an obligation of every Jew to critique the Israeli government.

Jewish != Zionist. Zionism requires the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Being Jewish does not.

Zionism does not require any ethnic cleansing of anything, it merely requires a Jewish state.

A Jewish state in a land that’s already occupied by Jews, Christians, and Muslims can only exist as an apartheid or by ethnically cleansing the locals. Apartheid can only last for so long.

Most zionists aren’t jewish, they’re American protestants.

The core of this conflict isn’t religion, it’s imperialism.

If the whole world was atheist there would be far less fighting. And we all know war = money.
