  • If France pushes for full economic sanctions on Israel their economy will tank even further. The EU is Israels largest trading partner with 22% of their exports (second after US with 26%) and 31% on imports (US second with 13%).

    If the EU uses that to pressure other nations like Turkey and Azerbaidschan it gets grim. Of course the US can throw them a permanent lifeline. At some 50-100 billion $ a year of economic aid on top of the military aid. I wonder how popular an “Israel support tax” of 500$ would be with the average American.



  • That is true. Which is why it doesn’t matter if the bombs given to Israel are red or blue.

    However now Democrats lost over genocide. Now AIPAC cannot play both parties anymore by making blind support for Israel the deciding factor. The Democrats lost because of Israel. Now they need to purge the Zionists and rebrand as the non genocide party, if they want to win moving on. This locks AIPAC in as being only in support of the Republicans, which limits their political influence.

    If it wasn’t for Harris/Biden loss, there was no hope for Palestinians, or any other people in West Asia in regards to US policy. Now there is a chance that one side of US policy will change.


  • Well now that the election is lost, the Democrats could make true on their claim they would seriously end this, but had to wait until after the election…

    I doubt they will, because every of their action has shown to be equally strong genocide supporters. But we should see the next days, as Israel still doesnt let anywhere close to 350 Trucks into Gaza, leave alone any into the north of Gaza. The ultimatum is running out.

    Also as weapons deliverys to Israel have been and are illegal anyways under US law, now would be a great chance to get every Republican and Democrat who voted for them or approved them as part of the administration into jail and in front of a court.

    Oh wait, they wont because breaking the law, which unsurprisingly helped the convicted felon win, was worth it, so genocide could be further supportet.






  • If “democracy” means i cant pay my bills and my relatives get slaughtered overseas, it seems a pretty lame thing to hold on to.

    And that is again a big failure. People all things considered dont care about democracy as a virtue in itself. They care about economic and social security and a prospect of personal developmemt and social participation. contrary to the popular stories revolutions rarely were fought over political participation. They were fought over empty stomaches and lack of housing.

    Trump understood to pretend to care about these problems of the people. Harris lowkey denied them existing.

    Und genauso Autoritär Wissenschaftsfeindlich und latent bis offen Verfassungsfeindlich.

    Schade, dass ihre “Fördergeldaffäre” aka. Wissenschaftlys Gesinnungsprüfungen vorzuschreiben, jetzt wahrscheinlich nicht mehr aufgearbeitet wird.
