Yes, and it is very positive that prominent human rights groups agree and document it. These reports can be used to pressure governments, universities, etc. to divest from Israel and to stop sending arms, software, etc. to Israel.
That statement is truly incredible! Biden helped give cover to Netanyahu (in addition to endless supplies of bombs) and drew one tiny red line for a few weeks (no bunker-busters in Rafah) and that faded quickly. He stopped funding UNWRA, even when other Western countries resumed it. Continuous support for Israel in the UN Security Council.
The West Bank example is grotesque. What effect did those sanctions have? None that I can see. The IDF has begun destroying infrastructure like they have done in Gaza, in addition to all of the killings.
So no, there is no reason to defend Biden/Harris. Is Trump worse? Yes, so what about it? Should we refrain from protesting because Democrats are in power right now?
Aren’t the elections over? Whatever “strategic” excuse for supporting Biden/Harris is gone now. It’s a bi-partisan policy of unconditional support for Israel.
It’s true Trump will be more extreme, but there is no longer any excuse for going easy on Biden/Harris, if there ever was.
Yeah, that sounds like the line of the Communist Party of Germany in the 1930’s. Didn’t end up too well. Read Trotsky on that.
Wow, that is very disappointing, to put it mildly. Of course, it is just the latest in a series of actions that have pulled her away from support for Palestine. Her Instagram meeting on antisemitism with 3 pro-israel figures, plus her awful speech in support of Harris at the DNC gave us a clear indication of her direction.
Yes, you are right. For more in-depth coverage and analysis, take a look at the article in this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/22677649

Hey Jordan, sorry for the delay, but I just saw your comment. I just checked NSFW so we should be good now. Thanks for the heads-up. I didn’t realize the photo was in NSFW territory but I will keep that in mind in the future. Thanks again.
I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for Jill Stein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for Harris. I feel much better now. :-)
Yeah, good point, my mistake.
