For all the folks that don't realize that Star Wars and all sci-fi are anti-fascist.

Let's hope this actually happens.

Assuming that the US is able to keep Israel outside of Rafah if the deal goes through, there still isn't a scenario in which Hamas remains in power, unless they renounce violence. Renouncing violence means that other factions within Gaza/Hamas may break off from the organization and continue the fight, which would give Israel a legitimate pretext to go in and dislodge them. If a break up within Hamas happens, it also means that its political branch will no longer be welcome there.

That is to say, there isn't going to be a permanent ceasefire and/or an end to the Israeli blockade of Gazan waters without a real involvement from an international peacekeeping force. And there isn't going to be a long-term ceasefire unless the US (or that peacekeeping force) commits to enforce the removal of illegal settlements from the West Bank. And for all of that to even be realistic, Bibi and his right-wing coalition need to be removed from government.

Was dropping my cousin off at her campus library this morning.

These Pro Palestinian protestors, its like 80% white people. Found that interesting.

Also saw Netanyahu reject a ceasefire today. First it was free the hostages, now its no end to war unless Hamas steps down.

This thing is never gonna end.

Yeah, but she is making herself look weird to other Republicans too.

The lying about going to North Korea thing is almost as weird as shooting your dog because it was annoying you.

Fascinating/depressing to think how different the reaction from her base would be if she shot a person instead of a dog
