    The comments by US House representative Tim Walberg of Michigan drew condemnation from progressive political quarters, including from some who expressed disbelief that a former Christian pastor would advocate for what they called the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

    WWJD: Love thy brother. Nuke thy neighbor.

    Christians are fucked in the head.

      End-of-world evangelicals want the world to end. Global pollution, climate change, human rights, et al. don’t matter because rapture or some crazy shit like that.

        Imagine being a genocidal monster and genuinely thinking God is going to come and save you for being good. If he came, he would take one look at you, charge up 2 million volts of electricity from the sky at your location and then smite the ever-loving shit out of you into fine ash.

    God sometimes when I read stuff like this as a post I reflexively down vote because I hate it so much until I remember it’s just a post calling attention to someone being a piece of shit and not agreeing with them. I up voted again to fix it lol

    Doesn’t the congressman know that you aren’t supposed to say the plan outloud? You are just supposed to provide all the bombs and arms required no strings attached. These new republicans just don’t understand decorum.

      It’s not like anyone in the Israeli government was hiding the fact that their plan was genocide either. It’s only the state department and mainstream media that are pretending to be shocked that there’s ‘collateral damage’.

    The whole region should be placed under international administration, just like Germany after the war.

      It was before, under the League of nations. Jewish terrorists under Irgun and Stern group (which later formed IDF) bombed the international administration to get land and get them out. When England gave up, Israel took the land

    how is this any different from Genocide Joe’s or any congressperson’s position? Israel has already dropped the equivalent of several nukes on Gaza, and they still have the US’s unconditional backing.

      Genocide Joe is much more polished than this loser. It’a genocide with American characteristics.

    I begin to wonder if this is how these fuckers planned to slide out of sight all along. I know they don’t seem very bright, and they aren’t, but they are crafty. Trump isn’t a ‘smart’ man - he’s crafty. Smart and crafty are two completely different things. There’s been a rash of this type headline - republicans spouting batshit crazy lies and spinning them into worse lies.

    Was there a bachelor’s to be had in “Lie Your Ass Off - 101 → 666”? (i don’t remember this being a course objective during my time in school)

    So anyway, they spout some shit like this even they don’t believe in order to be kicked off the team and into ticket sales… cash baby! Hard to follow with “donation” rules.

    …say something stupidly preposterous - get kicked out - disappear into the fundraiser scam… more money in their bank.

          you haven’t encountered very many actual leftists, have you?

          edit: you’re a lot closer to being one of those republicans you hate so much than any leftist who wants to hold both of your war-mongering parties accountable for their role in a genocide btw

            Those are the choices though. Either at worse the status quo or the people who want it harder faster and to potentially bring it home. I would like to change joe biden’s mind, and take away funding for Israel’s death machine, so I’ll reach out to my reps, but I won’t sit out. Sitting out implies that the magnitude of this issue is unimportant. Only the issue itself.

              Those are only the choices if I assume moderates and liberals would rather lose to MAGA than make material compromises with leftists and progressives. I’ll be voting 3rd party in the hopes that they will realize they can’t win elections on their own and be more open to working together in the future.

      A lot of citizens also say that. Why do Americans think their election is an Angel vs satan. It’s just bad vs worse.

      I don’t think anyone who says “genocide joe” agrees with what Joe is doing quietly nor what Tim Walberg is saying out loud.
