Israeli bulldozers demolish most of a West Bank hamlet, displacing dozens of Palestinians
apnews.com
Israeli military bulldozers have demolished most of a Palestinian Bedouin village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, taking out the hamlet’s infrastructure and leaving residents wandering amid the rubble of their homes.

Nine homes, five tents and five animal pens were demolished, said Mohammed Rabia, head of the village council in the area.

COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for administrative affairs in the occupied West Bank, said it demolished the buildings because they were built illegally in an area designated as a closed firing zone.

Palestinians have long said that securing Israeli permission to build in the West Bank is nearly impossible.

      Another way to look at it is that Kamala would rather lose than stop supporting this.

        these comment and bringing her up in every other post is an attempt to divert conversation from the main issue.

        1. this is a genocide.
        2. this is in the west bank.

          It’s an attempt to keep idiots from allowing fascism to take over again.

            Yeah, it would’ve been great if the Democratic Party did fight against fascism taking over instead of prioritizing material support for the genocide.

              They did and enough people stayed home that they lost. Again.

              Is it clear that the genocide-arguments-against-Biden/Harris were completely in line with GRU propaganda efforts?

                Biden gave zero genuine pressure to end the genocide. Instead of implementing a weapons embargo, he sent tens of billions worth of weapons used to prolong the genocide.

                One Year of Empty Rhetoric From the White House on Israel’s Wars

                From the MEMO article:

                The Biden administration allowed Israel unprecedented leeway to carry out its military offensive, despite the enormous death and devastation it inflicted on Gaza. Former Israeli ambassador, Michael Herzog, made a startling admission about Biden’s support: “God did the State of Israel a favour that Biden was the president during this period. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.” His remarks encapsulated a broader sentiment that the White House gave Benjamin Netanyahu all the political space he needed to execute the military offensive, which has claimed the lives of more than 52,000 Palestinians, mainly women and children.

                Kamala Would Have Won With A Weapons Embargo

                The blame is entirely on the campaign for chosing to ignore and even go against those voters instead of make concessions to gain as much votes as possible. They chose to prioritize continuing the genocide over winning against Trump.

                    You going to respond to the substance of the comment and sources or just stick to adhominim attacks? My comment and post history speaks for itself, I’m not hiding any positions of mine.

        She didn’t support this. That’s not the same thing as magically stopping it, though. Trump does support this.

          Jesus Christ man. Very few people have any real power to make a difference in this genocide, and she was one of them.

            Do you not know what the Vice President does? It’s a ceremonial position. Harris couldn’t do shit unless people actually voted for her.

            She had no power to do anything, and people like you made sure she never would.

              She ran for President and could have announced her withdrawl of support for Israel during the election. She chose not to and that’s on her.

              Homie, she was campaigning for president. That is a position where people tend to make their positions loud and clear. Not only is the electorate listening, but absolutely other world leaders are paying attention.
