The majority of non Arab Israelis is both in favor of the settler annexations and the slaughter in Gaza.

There is some who do. Many of them probably signed this lettet. They get violently beaten up. Of course when IDF soldiers beat up visibly practicing Jews thia does not spark outrage over antisemitism in the West. Because Jews being beaten up for their religious convictions is only antisemitism if the attackers are brown.

It is important to note that the government had majority approval. The settlers annexing the Westbank was continuud by every single government of the past 30 years, even the "progressive" ones. The relentless attacks on Gaza had and have majority approval in polls.

Removing Netanyahu is a first step, but Israeli society seriously needs to work through a lot of things for its "normal" to become in accordance with international law and basic principles of ethics and moral.

Einerseits hoffe ich, dass alle die mit Pyro andere angreifen, verletzen oder leichtsinnig gefährden, dafür auch zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. Gerade KSC und Hertha sind mir da in Erinnerung, als Vereine mit besonderen Idiotenhaufen in der Fanszene.

Andererseits teile ich die Auffassung, dass Sozialarbeiter ein Zeugnisverweigerungsrecht brauchen. Ob das nun Fußball, Obdachlose, Drogenabhängige, Jugendarbeit oder andere Situationen betrifft.

Ich fände es gut, wenn man für Pyro in Stadien eine Lösung findet. Z.B. bestimmte Plätze und ausgewiesene Personen, die dann dort Pyro zünden dürfen. Sachkunde, Nüchternheit und vorherige Absprache und Zustimmung vorausgesetzt.

Das braucht schon viel Chuzpe von der Berliner SPD, sowas rauszuhauen.

Die SPD, die lieber den Rassisten Kai Wegner zum Bürgermeister gemacht hat, als ihre progresshve Koalition trotz Mehrheit fortzuführen. Die SPD, die meinte die Bürger wollten eine andere Regierung, obwohl die SPD das Wahldebakel zu verantworten hatte und auch die SPD die Stimmen verloren hatte.

Ansonsten ist es auch schräg, dass die SPD einen "vorherrschenden Antisemitismus" in Berlin behauptet, wo sich dann die Frage stellt, warum man Wegner, bekannt dafür Maaßens antisemitische Hundepfeifen verteidigt zu haben, zum Bürgermeister gemacht hat.

In der Berliner Politik wird "gegen Antisemitismus" langsam zu einer Hundepfeife für "gegen Araber und Türken". Und natürlich auch gegen Juden, die sich nicht der deutschen Staatsräson anschließen.

Senate presidency

When Harris took office the 117th Congress's Senate was divided 50–50 between Republicans and Democrats;[193] this meant that she was often called upon to exercise her power to cast tie-breaking votes as president of the Senate. Harris cast her first two tie-breaking votes on February 5. In February and March, Harris's tie-breaking votes were required to pass the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 stimulus package Biden proposed, since no Senate Republicans voted for it.[194][195] On July 20, Harris broke Mike Pence's record for tie-breaking votes in the first year of a vice presidency[196] when she cast the seventh tie-breaking vote in her first six months.[197] She cast 13 tie-breaking votes during her first year in office, the most tie-breaking votes in a single year in U.S. history, surpassing John Adams, who cast 12 in 1790.[197][198] On December 5, 2023, Harris broke the record for the most tie-breaking votes cast by a vice president, casting her 32nd vote, exceeding John C. Calhoun, who cast 31 votes during his nearly eight years in office.[199][200] On November 19, 2021, Harris served as acting president from 10:10 to 11:35 am EST while Biden underwent a colonoscopy.[201] She was the first woman, and the third person overall, to assume the powers and duties of the presidency as acting president of the United States.[202][203][204]

As early as December 2021, Harris was identified as playing a pivotal role in the Biden administration owing to her tie-breaking vote in the evenly divided Senate as well as her being the presumed front-runner in 2024 if Biden did not seek reelection.[205]

So from my understanding she gets the final vote on split issues. She could have leveraged her political power to push these issues to get to vote.

  • She could have publicly renounced the Israeli government instead of defending it.
  • She could have voted against and started voting initiatives to stop weapon sales and military aid.
  • She could have went to court to sue the government if Biden was reluctant. The arms sales are illegal by US law, as Israel is known to attack US and international humanotaroan aid
  • She could have made a point of opposing Netanyahu when he was in congress instead of just not being there.
  • She could have threatened to step down as VP and followed through with it, once she became candidate.
  • She could have let Palestinian Americans speak at the DNC convention instead of silencing them, while giving Families of Israeli hostages a place to speak. This was the bare minimum to do, unless clearly picking the side of Zionism.

Then the party establishment had two options:

  • Either they would have fallen in line, winning the election and accepting that genocide is a no go for Harris.
  • Or they could have tried to oust her, knowing that it would cost them the election, or create so much push back that she remains as candidate and gets to toss them out.

Ich glaube die eigentliche "Gefahr" ist, dass dann auch eine Verbindung für Umsteigende entsteht. Dann sind dort auch mehr Leute auf der Durchreise, statt Anwohnende.

And when the context is Trump or Harris being elected, saying “I’m not voting for Harris” means by default you are supporting Trump.

So if i am saying "I'm not voting for Trump" then what happens? By this logic even if i vote the same third party candidate or not at all, i would be supporting Harris.

The only way this "default" works is if people are expected to vote Democrats. And if that is the default expectation it means they can do whatever they want, with no accountability. Instead of politicians having to win your vote with good politics, the blame gets shifted to the voter for not being loyal to the party. That is gaslighting. And when having these discussions it seems a lot of people were gaslit quite successfully by the party elites.

Ich war ziemlich enttäuscht von der Frankfurter "Skyline" als ich mal mit dem Zug über Frankfirt gefahren bin.

Chess moves is a great analogy. There is many situations in chess where you might win a figure but move yourself in a loosing position. The best chess players are those that can think the furthest ahead.

The political culture is embracing you to never think past the next election. Dont question the set up you are given. Dont think outside the box. Dont think how not punishing the supposed moral site of politics for genocide might make genocide accepted morals in the long run.

And then if brown people can be genocided in the Middle East, why not in Central America before they flee to the US? And once we are accustomed to that, what about the brown people already living in the US? Sure they speak Spanish instead of Arabic, but there is so awful many of them these days....

That is the longterm outset we see. As climate change will push for migration and refugee seeking beyond anythinf we can fathom these days and as the supposed moral sides of politics in white supremacist countries are embracing "solutions" that used to be of the fringes of the far right, we are descending into white supreme fascism.
