Not at all. Iraq’s broken economy is due to Bush trying to force Iraqi economy to privatize after 2003. Iraq made a trade deal with Iran that they bragged would be very lucrative for both countries. It’s not warfare like you called it.

Complaining about Iran having too much influence in Iraq is like complaining that the Vatican has too much influence in Ireland.
Iraq is not the same as Iran. While the countries now have close economic ties, Iraqi politicians have bo interest in changing Iraq’s government to copy Iran’s.
How is he still nearly tied with all of his idiocy on display?
“They did their job correctly this time” doesn’t erase a lifetime of them failing to do so. For every professional example like this I see many more that do the opposite.
Didn’t Biden promise to retaliate for any American killed overseas? Oh, except when Israel does it.
“Karma farmers” is a major reason Digg collapsed and Reddit took its place.
It’s merely a necessity if we are to save any of the Palestinian people.
History is littered with people who made that claim. There were Jews who thought that cooperating with Nazis would save some of their community. Black Americans who thought that working with Jim Crow politicians would make a net benefit. It’s wrong, you’re wrong, and Palestinians will tell you they’ve tried this and failed. Abbas offered to go to war against Hamas and did so, in the hopes that Israel would advance his two state solution. They abandoned him and all Palestinians are worse off for the attempt.
You’re trying to argue the Trolley Problem but missing the controversy of WHY the trolley problem is problematic in the first place. If I vote for an alternative to Trump, and she kills people in my community, then I have a share of their blood on my hands. “Less blood” is not a comfort or excuse.
If you don’t think genocide is a dealbreaker, then you lose all rights to criticize republicans for thinking racism and sexism and homophobia aren’t dealbreakers for their candidate.
And there’s the racism and Islamophobia coming out. Don’t share any of your values? How out of touch with the community are you? Majority of American Muslims believe in LGBT rights in polling and support abortion. We talk with plenty of nuance, which you’d know if you ever bothered to listen even once to our community, let alone the last 10 months where we were told to shut up because our mere existence somehow hurt Biden, who made his campaign detour around our communities and refused to be seen in public with us. This despite we were reliable donors to his campaign and celebrated that we got him elected by a narrow margin.
I don’t have time to debunk your false stereotypes. You pretend to care about the plight and then go giving insults immediately after. Go talk with Muslims and Arab-Americans rather than talk about us and Othering us.
You mean like how South Africa pretended black people weren’t citizens and instead citizens of Bantustans that they conveniently set up? Yeah that’s how Israel does it in their apartheid too.
So you say it’s a Big Tent party for everyone but can’t accommodate Palestinians. Got it. Yet somehow there’s room for unconditional support for Israeli extremism allowed in that very tent.
You’re not the only ones with children dying, you see.
There’s that condescension again. So you’re fine with selling out Palestinian lives because your personal interests outweigh those of your neighbors. Very nice.
Just admit it, Dems are willing to stick up for unpopular minorities like Trans people but Dem politicians can’t bring themselves to be seen in public with Arabs or Muslims.
Calling Israel a democracy is stupid when it has Jim Crow style laws at best and apartheid at worst. They don’t let most Palestinians vote and keep them on bantustans.
Did the US fund those genocides? Biden caused millions of Americans to drop their support of Democrats because he intentionally joined one side in a war AND explicitly insulted Palestinians and their supporters, and the party desperately needs to get them back in order to beat Trump.
Nate Silver gives Trump a 46.9% chance of winning in November. Harris is reclaiming many of those voters who couldn’t support Biden, but she needs to do more instead of belittling pro-Palestine supporters.
If you think the Palestinian-American community and the 3.7 million Arab Americans or the 7 million American Muslims don’t matter then fine, try to win against Trump without any of our help. We’ve been one of the most pro-Democrat communities in America and have been committed donors, only to be thrown under the bus by Biden and now Democrats. Know that Biden won Michigan by 100,000 votes and there’s 200,000 Arab-Americans in that state. Harris could lose Michigan if she endorses Biden’s approach of unconditional support for Israeli violence.
Historically, Israelis starts a massive bombing campaign in the day after US elections, and keeps it up nonstop until the day before inauguration. It’s almost an occurrence every four years by this point.
Yes they had schools and hospitals built using that money, which Israel bombed.
Blinken has zero credibility. He’s been hammering Palestinian negotiators in public and trying to speak soothingly to Netanyahu, all because he’s folllwing Biden’s orders. He’s literally putting Israeli lives over those of Americans.
That’s not necessarily love for Palestinians, it’s more like anger against the Israeli far right.
