Anastasis

A hit dog hollers. The reality of what is taking place has been clear for some time. The story arch didn't start Oct 2023. But yes, I applaud your intelligence for breaking when the situation involves a bunch of white people getting blown up instead of the disposable browns that have been stacking by the tens of thousands.

It's absolutely amazing to me that this particular event is what it took to realize a breaking point for some people, but thank god they finally arrived.

Arming ethnic cleansing operations because afraid of Trump is certainly a take. 1 in 5 democrats and nearly 1 in 4 independents "much less likely to support" a candidate that continues military aid. If these numbers are accurate, your calculus seems backwards. Continuing with the status quo appears more likely to put Biden at risk with his own base and independents. If you think that Trump is going to wedge him on this issue and flip Democrats by taking on a pro-genocide position, I just don't see it. And Biden is not picking up those committed Trump voters either way. Seems the greater risk is eroding his own base, particularly the progressive wing of it and independents. Buy hey, maybe Michigan is disposable.

Blocks what? A ceasefire, or blocks arms transfers? Where people are on Israel is evolving quickly. Like many issues, U.S. partisans find themselves on opposing sides. Most Republicans, though fewer than in the fall, support Israel's actions, while the vast majority of Democrats are opposed. Independents’ opinions are now much closer to those of Democrats. Although Americans rate Biden's handling of the conflict poorly, his overall job approval rating is no lower now than before the conflict began. The issue does not register highly when Americans are asked to name the most important problem facing the U.S. Nor does it rank highly when Americans rate each of several international issues as critical threats to U.S. vital interests. It could hurt the president by dampening turnout among would-be Biden voters who care deeply about the issue and are upset with his handling of the situation. And more directly to the point of aid...

Given the events of the last few days, can we agree on "Not the IDF" as a starting point?

Watching some clips from today of Kirby, the pentagon spokeswoman, and the state department spokespeople. Clowns and/or sociopaths. Keep your options open. Example given:

Every once in a while there is the perfect situation response and gif. This is one of those times.

Seems relevant. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/02/08/national-security-memorandum-on-safeguards-and-accountability-with-respect-to-transferred-defense-articles-and-defense-services/ National Security Memorandum on Safeguards and Accountability With Respect to Transferred Defense Articles and Defense Services

There is a fucking WCK sign on top of the vehicles. The route was approved in advance by the IDF. When they pulled the trigger (three times) they knew what they were aiming at. If they didn't, the level of incompetence is such that it's just one more reason we shouldn't be sending them weapons of war.

You got to think that the outcry at this point should be enough to pressure the admin to stop these transfers, particularly of munitions. Right?

Haaretz reporting three drone strikes, knocking out three vehicles in sequence as the aid workers fled from one to the other. The convoy was travelling on an approved route that had been coordinated with IDF. Israeli security sources say that they observed an armed individual travelling with the convoy earlier in the day, before the convoy stopped at their supply warehouse. The vehicle that was carrying the armed individual was not part of the convoy when it was struck. WCK suspending their Gaza operations, and the ship they had sailing from Cyprus with aid has turned around. Here is a google translate image lifted from twatter.

John Bolton is very concerned.

It moved through pretty quick. Wife's car took a few good dents.

Check that. 19th century.

The IC is a doctrine related to original sin. The Catholics teach that Mary was conceived free of original sin. It doesn’t have anything to do with the virgin birth. It’s a doctrine that was formalized in the 20th century by the Catholic Church. It undermines an incarnational understanding of salvation and is based on a western understanding of original sin and for those reasons most orthodox reject it.

God became man so that man could become God. Happy ham Easter.
