"#Israel is staging a massive offensive across four major refugee camps in the north of the #WestBank. The raids, at their height, pushed 40,000 people from their homes. Many are now sheltering with relatives in neighboring villages, others racking up debt renting apartments while they wait to return.

#Israeli officials, meanwhile, have said those displaced will not be allowed to go back for at least a year."

      Leaving the fact that I still haven’t had anyone explain what “ML” actually means aside…

      Fake communists

      lol what?

      who pushed “genocide Joe” and not-voting during the 2024 election contribution to low democratic voter turn out, giving Trump the win

      When you commit a genocide, you forfeit the right to complain if people refuse to vote for you. Joe Biden and the Democrats gave Trump the win because they continued slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent women and children in Gaza. And people are starting to realize that Democrat vs. Republican is just right-wing zionist infighting.

        And Trump continues the same game, but worse. So if the intention was to make the world worse in the future, with no hope for reform, then the ML was successful.

        But ML is very much in favor of authoritarianism, with tanks. So… I guess this is supposed to the the worse before the better? The better that has and will never come.

        Sounds like fake communism to me.

          When people are left with a choice between a) genocide or b) genocide, then the “lesser evil” argument stops making any sense.

          How this has anything to do with communism or fake communism is still a mystery to me.

        ML = Marxism-Leninism

        An ideology developed by Joseph Stalin to justify Russian Imperial ambition.

        AKA, the people who aided the Nazis in their invasion of Poland.

          Don’t forget it was Stalin and the Soviet Union who ultimately defeated Hitler, and liberated Europe from the Nazis. Without much help from the Allies, who deliberately stalled opening a second Western front to let the Soviets take the full force of the Nazi war machine alone at Stalingrad.

          However, it doesnt seem like OP was referring to Maxist-Leninists when they said “MLs” here…

            Oh yeah how could I forget that after conspiring to help the Nazis exterminate the poles, the Russians turned around and conscripted millions of men from the countries they conquered (Poland, Ukraine, etc) and used them to fight off the Nazis they allowed to invade in the first place. So heroic! So selfless!

            As a Belarusian Jew, I can’t wait to hear your revisionist version of my history!
