    “Don’t protest our war efforts where we are indiscriminately killing civilians, or we’ll drop you off in the middle of that area, where you’ll likely be indiscriminately killed.”

    Why not just send them to gas chambers instead… Fucking nazi prick.

    It’s ironic how Israel has become exactly like the persecutors that lead to this state to even be created.

    What’ll they do with them in Gaza? Put them in working camps?

    I wish they’d see the bitter irony of it and correct course, but at this stage, wishing for them to choke on it seems like a more feasible option.

          What? Almost all countries have condemned Israel for their unabated war crimes and called for a cease fire. What they haven’t done is issue sanctions, but AFAIK the only country that had been supporting Israel is the US

    This sounds very similar to what US mayors and governors do with the unhoused or the undocumented they don’t want to deal with. There’s been various cases documented in recent years.

      Like the widely reported case of DeSantis and Abbott conspiring to traffic migrants to a completely different state. When you commit human trafficking to own the Dems.

    I recall a time when George Bush said “if you’re not with us, you’re against us” with no sense of irony as a democratic leader. Same shitty authoritarian mindset on display here

        W. This was just two months after 9/11, as his administration was gearing up to invade Afghanistan.

          I would also add that isn’t empty talk like “Well he said it once, non biggie”. That statement by POTUS itself drove the national policy other countries. When POTUS says “other nations you are with us or are our enemies”, that matters.

          That is a signal the reverberates around with “do we dare to anger USA on this one”. The Afghan war partisipants list is long and contains some not so obvious participants often doing rather small token participations. Which I think is exactly “Well we have to show we are with USA”.

          For example here in Finland in the after action report of Finnish participation in Afghanistan tells the reason wasn’t building peace, it wasn’t even combat experience. It was “coalition and alliance building” aka showing USA “we are with them”.

          In the after action study one of the interviewed decision makers literally directly quoted:

          Yhdysvallat sanoi 9/11 jälkeen: olette joko meidän kanssa tai meitä vastaan.”

          United States said after 9/11: You are either with us or against us.

          Right above explaining how it was 20 year long very unpopular operation caused losses and achieved nothing in Afghanistan, but hey the Finnish NATO application will go through with flying colors.

          The whole time the media blitz was about “Helping and building peace in Afghanistan”. When in reality we went in because USA publicly extorted pretty all of west to show colors.

          This isn’t only in Finland in other European after action reports have shown similar “We went in, because Bush publicly demanded show of loyalty”.

      I dont think you’re aware of how many fascists there are in Israel with machine guns. And they just issued 10,000 more to the settlers in the West Bank this month.
