With the full support of the Biden administration, Israel is waging a merciless war of extermination against the 400,000 Palestinians remaining in the northern Gaza Strip as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering a plan to annex the territory.

No food, water, or medicine have entered the north since October 1 as Israeli forces have conducted a campaign of intense airstrikes and ground forces have invaded and encircled much of the area.

As it orders residents to flee the north, Israel has intensified its attacks on Deir Al-Balah, a city in central Gaza that has not suffered the vast scale of destruction unleashed by Israel in other parts of the Strip.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled to the city in recent months. In the early morning hours of Monday, Israel bombed a crowded tent encampment for displaced people on the grounds of Al Aqsa hospital, engulfing civilians in a massive ring of fire.

Video from the scene showed patients—some of whom appeared to be in beds attached to IV cords—being burned alive as others in the encampment tried desperately to extinguish the fires with small buckets of water.

    One of the candidates is a proud member of the administration, her name is even part of it, and she has carried Biden’s line this whole time. She is already supporting this genocide and has pledged to continue doing so via support for Israel during it.

        Right, so nobody should support either genocidal candidate, but especially the one actually doing genocide right now.

        Re: fascist autocracy, this doesn’t really describe the MAGA political class, which remains fundamentally liberal, just openly reactionary instead of pandering and politely reactionary. You’ll notice that the Biden-Harris administration has continued many salient “fascist” policies from the previous admin and even tried to flank from the right on immigration.

        Fascism is a historical development that uniquely opposed an ascendant leftism during liberal imperialist crisis. The conditions in the USA do not qualify.

            Stop arming their genocide.

            Sorry your liberal mind is too lost in hyper reality to understand that.

            I didn’t say I would. Do your best to not make things up. It’s better to respond to what I actually say rather than use loaded questions like, “when did you stop beating your wife?”
