Ok.

If the peace talks weren’t happening at all, would the situation be any different? This is at least an attempt. The bigger issue? That Hamas has every belief that the US is not impartial, for obvious reasons, meanwhile Netanyahu is also acting in bad faith and changing terms randomly.

The argument that “the war continues during peace talks” is objectively true, but misses the point of how peace talks work in any circumstance, much less one as muddy as this.

I’m for Gaza's independence and have been for a long time, most likely before many people commenting on similar threads like this have known it existed. But to claim that these talks are nothing more than a red herring is disingenuous at best.

Israel doesn’t need any excuse to continue their aggression, as it has been doing off and on for the better part of a century. Anthony Blinken isn’t going to magically solve a longstanding international crisis and get to diametrically opposed parties to agree on a treaty more than he’s going to have them agree on where to go to dinner.

Also we can get into the whole “Netanyahu is funding Hamas secretly” argument but that’s for another time.

Because the people who buy them have it and BMW can get more out of them. The real problem is that they’ll buy it, and other manufacturers will see “hey, it’s a successful model and additional revenue generation!”

“Yep, this is me. You’re probably wondering how I wound up here.”

I didn’t notice the tiny backpack and it reminds me of the one I just bought for my toddler to go to daycare with only instead of false military masculinity, his is a rocket ship which is way cooler.

That is the tiniest mic sign ever.

Looks so weird.

Typically the party appoints someone through their own nominating process. There is a way of doing that but saying “we just don’t like this guy no more” isn’t really an acceptable one.

But he didn’t lose, remember? He’s still here trying to fight the good fight!

(I need to go wash my phone after typing that…)

Look, he DID see combat.

In pictures.

In the articles he wrote in his office securely in the middle of the base.

Also that’s a weird song to play at a rally. A really weird choice.
