Israel’s bombing of the Qatari capital Doha on Tuesday marked the sixth country the powerful U.S. ally attacked so far this year.
U.S. and Israeli officials told CNN and other outlets on Tuesday that Israel — which the U.S. arms to the tune of billions of dollars each year — gave President Donald Trump’s administration advance warning before carrying out the strike. The attack drew ire from progressive members of Congress, who told The Intercept that the U.S. must stop arming Israel as it accelerates attacks around the globe.
“In the past two years, Israel has bombed nation after nation with no repurcussions—all while conducting a genocide and manufacturing a famine in Gaza using U.S. taxpayer dollars,” said Rep. Summer Lee, D-Penn. “There must be accountability for Israel’s unchecked power and destabilization of the region. The United States must implement an arms embargo immediately.”
Israel has carried out tens of thousands of attacks in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Yemen, and now Qatar since the October 7 Hamas attacks, according to data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project. In the last three days, Israel bombed three residential buildings in Gaza City and dropped leaflets ordering residents to evacuate.
Israel pretends to have peace negotiations with Palestine. Qatar is the intermediary. Sometimes I get the impression that they don’t want peace.

Hamas who are fueling the continued war from (what they thought was safety) are mostly in Qatar
unfair accusation from what I’ve seen. Palestinian leadership has agreed to several peaces with Israel negotiators all to be shot down by Israel cabinet and parliament. Palestine is not the ones fueling the war.

I understand you’re angry at all the injustice happening in Palestine. It’s a lot, and I can see how any disagreement with your perspective feels like a malicious attack, causing your reactions toward me. I’m sorry my disagreement has added to that feeling. While I do think my beliefs have been deeply misconstrued, I regret not having a chance to hear more of your beliefs rather than what you’ve decided on me personally. I suspect we’d have a fair amount of common ground, though I’m sure that thought chafes you in this moment.
So in good faith, I will be fucking off from you.
Peace and love be upon you. Free Palestine.
Nothing will come of it
Sheet they bomb qatar again
Climate change will not be kind to the region. Israel knows that it is in deep shit and is acting out. Ironically, its military aggression is only hastening this.

The target was the negociator idiot. So stop pretending you want peace. Peace will happen when israel end occupation
They were negotiating the release of the hostages. They have been trying to negotiate an exchange since Oct7, but this is how much Israel cares for hostages
Don’t act so high and mighty
Neither side has been negotiating in good faith IMO, both are culpable for prolonging and perpetuating the conflict unnecessarily at the cost innocent lives. They’re both negotiating like Putin. Again that’s my hot-take based on what I’ve seen. I may well be wrong and missing key information or contextual perspective.
Hamas always respected every other cease fire in the past. Israel never respected anything
IMO
Your O is worth jackshit, because you’re a war crime supporting dumb ass who knows nothing about the situation but advocates for horrific crimes anyway. “I don’t think they’re negotiating in good faith, so actually it’s good for Isreal to massacre their diplomats!” fucking Nazi pig.

I guess reading comprehension isn’t big where you come from.
Oh fuck off with these tedious reddit shithead stock phrases.
Are you going to “both sides” this? don’t get more bad faith then murdering the people you are negotiating with.
So like of you’re glad that these Hamas leaders were held to account like this and you also think that the IDF must be held to account for war crimes, are you actually calling for targetted bombings of IDF installations and Israeli diplomatic missions?
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, amirite?

Hitler is netenyahu and israel is nazi germany
Yes, that’s a good analogy worth elaborating on. That places Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups in the position of the numerous WW2 resistance movements like the French resistance, Polish Home Army, and Jewish resistance who were attacking Nazi forces, sabotaging infrastructure, and sometimes more terroristic tactics involving civilians.
Philosopher Quassim Cassam recently wrote an article examining the idea of justifiable terrorism as part of armed resistance. He provides a framework and engages with the most generous possibilities of the idea. While he’s not the first to explore justifiable terrorism, he does examine this very comparison of WWII resistance and other movements like al-Qaeda and the recent Oct 7 attack by Hamas: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12115-024-00975-9
Why are you being disingenuous? You compare hamas leaders to hitler but the only valid comparison is israel being nazi germany and netenyahu being hitler
Comparing hamas leaders with russian leaders is also not accurate since russia is the invader, hamas are palestinians that they and their ancesstors was oppressed for 77 years.
I oppose assasinating putin just like i oppose assasinating netenyahu unlike you who said you wouldn’t oppose putin assasination but want netenyahu to just be brought to justice by the country who still hold the ethrnic cleanning and genocidal ideology.
Why you ignore that the guy they tried to kill was the negociator? You support the death of the guy responsible to find a deal to end the genocide and release the hostages yet you.clsim to be for peace
I have some faith that Likud and the IDF can be held to account by Israeli democracy and Israel’s participation in the Western democratic community
I know you’re trying to pretend that you’re not just a pro-Isreal zionist. But this was the part you slipped up and revealed that you’re just lying. Though some other tells were that you’re entirely unwilling to admit that Israel is doing a genocide in Gaza, and that you describe Israel as being equivalent the allies in WW2, and in Ukraine in the current war with Russia, rather than the actual accurate comparison, where Israel is equivalent to the Nazis and Russia respectively…
I think if the IDF is waging war crimes on Palestinians, they have a right to defend themselves
Actually, while the Palestinians have a right to armed resistance against their occupiers,
Israel, as an occupier, has no right to self-defense.Thanks for the Jacobin article, it’s thoughtful, powerful, and I completely agree with it re: Palestine, though I may disagree on the role and culpability of Hamas on some things. I’ve used the same Wikipedia article to summarize the occupation dynamics. To be clear, when I said “they have a right to defend themselves”, I was referring to Palestinians.
Israel’s current campaign in Gaza has been beyond horrific and outright evil in some aspects. It’s by far the most outrageous thing they’ve been doing. And if there’s any credence to Smotrich’s statements, they’ll follow through with complete ethnic cleansing through forced expulsion while annexing the rest of the West Bank.
outright evil in some aspects
Jesus fucking Christ, what is wrong with you?
You and I probably have different definitions and applications of the term “evil”. We can agree the campaign is unethical, immoral, inhumane, unjust, horrific, beyond the pale, criminal, heinous, outrageous, and I’m sure there are many other synonyms of “bad” we can fully agree on that describes what they’re doing.
War need to be the last resort and proportional both doesn’t apply because israel was pretty clear from the beginning that they will comit genocide and becausw hamas offered return of hostages since the beginning

So, in short, you support Israel committing warcrimes.
Not really, no.
Then you shouldn’t have said it
I am extremely outraged by the ethnic cleansing Israel has been conducting in Gaza. I am very outraged by their ongoing colonization of the West Bank, I am a little outraged that they are hitting military targets in other countries with impunity. The planned and deliberate slaughter of civilians on Oct 7 was heinous and I won’t be unhappy when the leaders who planned it die.
For comparison, if for whatever reason they decided it was in their interest and Mossad or some other third party managed to assassinate Putin at one of his “peace conferences”, I might be mad about the implications, violation of international law as a war crime, and consequences of the act, but I don’t think I’d be unhappy he’s dead.
Would you support the massacre of the Israeli government? Or does your “I won’t be happy until they all die!” bloodlust only extend to Palestinians? (Which certainly seems to be case, given your phrasing: Israels Holocaust is merely “outrageous”, where as the resistance response - which was not “planned and deliberate slaughter of civilians” and mostly targeted military targets, despite your lies - is “heinous” and apparently personally prevents you from being happy until enough Palestinians are massacred in retaliation).
Mossad or some other third party managed to assassinate Putin
So once again, you fully support Israel committing horrific war crimes against the West’s enemies. Would you be as jubilent if Hamas or FSB was able to massacre the EU parliament? Or are you a raging hypocrite?
So you’re glad the IDF committed war-crimes
Nope.
Then you shouldn’t have said you were
Wait, wait - the Democrats love the genoside, I’m almost sure that’s why we live in this insane rotten diaper of an administration, right?
Hence it being one of the progressives doing it not dem leadership. I’m sure Schumer will condemn it
Oh
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer he is “concerned” about the Israeli strike and that he has requested a classified briefing. The Democratic leader would not say whether Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute a genocide, though he did say that the US should be doing “much more” to provide aid to the enclave.

And fair enough, just seems like that “leadership” part gets left off the scourging witticisms 98% of the time.
Have the anarcho-libercial-munnists got a national party yet? No? A candidate somewhere? Nothing huh. Well if y’all could quit peeing on our shoes and help get some new Dem blood in, that’d be a lot more helpful than the usual feces flinging hit work straight outta kremlin.
It’s only been ten months and a few weeks, but back in the before times you couldn’t swing a dead meme around here without hitting two or three “Harris supports genocide” wankers who consistently refused to understand our existing political system.

If your pro-genocide-and-nothing-else-ever wing of the party would quit ratfucking progressives, this might not come off like the gloating it is.

BlueMAGA liberals are a parody of themselves.
Tends to be what happens when they purge anyone going against party lines.
Did we not watch the same Harris campaign?
They purged people? Man, you must have some killer mod log on the Harris campaign. Purging their own voters? That’s a bold move, Cotton.
Are you trying to make a point being extremely obtuse?
Trying to make the point that voting for Harris would have bought us some time from the insane turd circus.
We still have the same job to promote progressive views and oust the corporatists but now every single thing is under attack and we have to hear about it all goddamned day. People here who were so loud and proud about not voting at all and the system’s so messed up - Yeah No Shit and Thanks For Fucking Us All, Assholes.
Was going for your trying to say purging people from party meaning killing them instead of them being either removed.
Two things, 1 you can’t complain when people don’t think the system works after said system specifically says don’t vote for us and 2 this is how usa politics have always been. Not for the people but corporations.
But yeah only blame the voters, really good work
It’s so neat watching centrists pretend they hate getting the genocide they spent all of 2024 defending.
The threw the fucking election defending this genocide
Even now aren’t against it just trying to make a point it’s just the voters fault not the party. The party can only be failed
