Well it’s not really a war anymore, it’s genocide. Impossible to ignore. Israel donates a lot of money in American politics, maybe time to find candidates they don’t fund

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

MODERATORS
To paraphrase judeo-christan mythology, "it's easier to thread a camel through the eye of a needle than it is to find a politician not compromised by israeli political donations."
Was it ever a war?
No it was not.
The only reason they are changing their mind is because it's too big to ignore because it's been ignored for too long. It didn't have to get this bad and something could have been done a long time ago but they chose not to. Never let them forget that they let this happen and that they knew it was happening.
Another day, another PSA.
A photo of Bernie Sanders overlayed with the text: “I am once again asking that we stop referring to far-right conservatives as ‘moderate’ whenever they happen to be Democrats.”
Kibbutz Bernie? The one that refuses to say genocide?
These flavor of the week assholes? 
Moderate Democrats are career politicians who will change their positions at any time to further their own interests. They're spineless and without a shred of integrity. That's why you should always back those that have supported Palestine through thick and thin, and that have consistently maintained the same position for as long as they've been in politics.
Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid is a book written by Jimmy Carter.
Famous republiQan Jimmy Carter
How is that relevant?
That's why you should always back those that have supported Palestine through thick and thin
Jimmy Carter wasn't a moderate, and he'd be left of most modern progressives today. I just don't understand the "famous republiqan" bit, I haven't seen anyone claim Carter was close to right wing other than people who think anyone right of Mao was a fascist
He was moderate for the time. He’d be to the right of most progressives today. He wasn’t big on gay rights, for example.
I added the part about famous republiQan because he’s one of the most famous Democrats in history who has done more for Palestine than everyone here put together, complaining that Democrats don’t support Palestine. It was /s
Wild that genocide was okay until they started losing seats over it.
That's the only motivating factor for democrats. They were almost all 100% on team border wall and "marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman" until their voters' views on the issues changed/became apparent
Still the fact that they didn't think genocide would bother us is a really strange shortcoming, this wasn't an unpredictable response they just really fucking suck at their jobs.
Give them a verbal pat on the back, then vote them out in favor of a candidate not funded by AIPAC.
