זה הולך להיות מאוד מצחיק לראות כמה אנשים פתאום מתחילים להעלות על היהודים ואנטישמיות כשהם יכולים להשתמש בזה לטובת המטרות שלהם. כאילו, במשך הכמעט 500 יום האחרונים אתם הייתם פה? או שתוכן אנטישמי ופוגעני רלוונטי לכם רק כשאתם בצד המקבל?

Hamas repeatedly rejected ceasefire deals. Joe Biden made a big speech on the world stage at the end of May 2024, informing everyone that Israel accepted a ceasefire deal and it was up to Hamas to accept it. Egypt, Qatar, the G7, and the UN urged them to accept it. They rejected it. Ben-Gvir also admitted to sabotaging ceasefire talks. The war continued. Trump openly said during the 2024 campaign that he was frequently on the phone with Netanyahu and sabotaging ceasefire talks, too.

Now that the election is over and Netanyahu's buddy won, we have a ceasefire. And the dumbest, most dishonest people alive will say Trump was the guy who got it done, after over a year of painstaking negotiations from the Biden administration, instead of recognizing that Netanyahu and his crew and Hamas have merely viewed all of this as one big political game the whole time. Civilians are just pawns to them.

And suddenly, the people who posted about this nonstop for a year and heckled events to demand a ceasefire are weirdly quiet--because all of the victims of this war were mere pawns to them, too. That's the only reason why they're falsely giving Trump credit for this: to own da libs, since their interest in Palestine started and ended with how they could cynically use it to ratfuck Democrats (the fact that it didn't matter much electorally is irrelevant to their intentions)

I'm glad there's finally a deal, yet disgusted with so many people. Everyone acted horrendously about this entire bloody war

It’s so hilarious to me that people spent all this time the past year and a half boycotting and protesting Israeli goods, and now they’re flocking to RedNote in the wake of TikTok being possibly banned.

China has literally one of the worst industrialized oppression of Muslims on the planet. Like actual internment camps, forced labor, apartheid, and forced sterilization. Like r u serious.

I'm sorry, Mr. President

As the last full day of Joe Biden's Presidency draws to a close I'm dealing with a great deal of sadness.

I won't rehash it all, but Joe Biden was the most progressive, the best President of my lifetime, consistently delivering big wins that as a Democrat I never expected to see pass through Congress.

But we let him down, and in letting him down, let ourselves down. Four long years of Trump we were tired, we were tired of always being plugged in, always reacting always fighting back. For millions of us we wanted a return to a politics that could take the day off.

In our tiredness and naivete we assumed that sooner or later the truth would just win out. We reassured ourselves that public perception of the economy always lagged behind reality, that low unemployment, rising real wages, and cooling inflation would all mix together and sail Joe Biden to a second term. We were at peace around the world, unemployment hadn't been lower since the 1960s, we'd passed infrastructure a thing everyone had been talking about for 15 years.

We were tired, and we in our weakness looked for someone else to do the job. Surely the news media would report reality we thought, surely someone will....

We let him down, I let him down. I worked really hard to elect Kamala Harris President, I believe from the bottom of my soul she would have been very good at it. However my efforts.... I see now I should have put the level of effort I put into working to elect Harris I should have put in every day of Biden's Presidency.

We were the final girl in a horror movie, having killed the movie monster we drop our knife only to have Michael Myers sit back up. We thought the resistance was over, silly us, it was just the lull in the action.

Every day of Biden's Presidency false narratives about him "too old" "doesn't do anything" "what about student loan debt!" "strike breaker!" "genocide Joe" or the economy "look at the price of milk!" "eggs!" "the worst economy since the great depression!" etc

and for most of 4 years our push back was weak and worse we didn't push OUR message, the truth. Only when it was too late, and we kept looking for the law to save us from Trump, surely once he was indicted, once he was convicted! once.... no because there was no effective machine to push that message to people over and over and over again. There was a machine made up of so many people, boosted by TikTok and Twitter to push the lies about Joe Biden

but the damning truth is we let ourselves down, we got weary as the nice church ladies would always warn me, don't get weary now, we did, we got tired in the work and when you get tired, when you grow weary, you lose and we lost.

I'm really sorry to President Biden, Vice-President Harris and everyone else, I didn't do everything I could, I know I did in 2024 but I should have done more in 2021, 2022 and 2023, that is clear.

It'll be hard to find the energy I know and I also know my own efforts alone mean very little, but I will try, every day of the next long hard 4 years to fight, to not let the other side ever ever EVER again have all their own way.

I'm not one of the people who says "this will be the end of the American empire" and all that jazz, but this will be such a pointless self-inflicted wound. We'll have so much to clean up because people chose pure bullshit. We were so close to avoiding all of this from happening and I’ll simply never forgive anyone who played a role in us getting here

cant wait to see how all the hamas stans who have been pretending to beg for a ceasefire for over a year and then went radio silent when it happened will come out of the woodwork to blame israel for this

I'm not saying this in a "why is no one on the news talking about this???" way, because I'm well-aware that several major news publications and channels have talked about the I/P ceasefire.

I'm saying that it's been so interesting to watch the same internet accounts that talked about I/P for a solid year, reblogged constant misinformation about it, demanded a ceasefire, repeatedly said they'd never vote for "Genocide Joe" or "Holocaust Harris", commented on internet posts about any other issue in the world with things like "fuck you, Gaza is more important!!!", and spread antisemitism, barely even acknowledge this (latest) ceasefire. I've seen active accounts with "Free Palestine" in their bios not even mention it over the past few days. Remember all the people who shared that AI-generated “all eyes on Rafah” picture on instagram last year? I know this is anecdotal, but not a single person I follow on instagram has posted anything about the ceasefire

Like, wow, some of us were saying these people would stop caring about Gaza after there was a ceasefire, but I didn’t think they’d be so transparent by dropping the act so quickly after the election and before the ceasefire!
