That specific precedent likely doesn’t exist as most new cabinet level positions aren’t created by President Elects.

Historically the Logan act has been interpreted to not include the Presiden-Elect and their incoming administration.

If the things mentioned this is the most “normal”.

I mean is that false? The alternative is siding with a group that literally has a toddler hostage rn.

Oh ya, it’s time for Hot Xi Summer.

Ya force them to use unguided artillery shells! /s

Your war. The people you support, Hamas, started it.

Honestly I hope you look at it now and shatter. This support for Hamas (both fiscal and moral) coming from people like you is the #1 thing preventing the rise of a legitimate, independent Palestinian state. And the #1 empowering the poverty of the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza.

When we in the West defacto tell Gazans, “Kill them Jews we got your back, we’ll help you rebuild, we’ll pressure them to allow themselves to be enslaved. You’ve got it so bad; it can never get worse.” We’re giving Gazans a false sense of security. If Gazans were black they would never receive this level of foreign support. If they weren’t attempting tourser Jews, they’d never have this level of support.

According to the UN there are 195 countries in the world, including Palestine. 194 of them receive less per capita aid and commit less per capita terrorism. Gaza could easily become the Madagascar or Haiti or Chad in 6 months and be 1000x worse off than they are today.

I’m arguing for a Hamas surrender. Don’t know if you realized but there’s a war on. What your mistaking for a genocide, is a war. A war the side you seem to support started. And a war they can end tomorrow with a surrender.

I don’t “hear out” the reasons a Nazi has for justifying genocide. Do you?

Dude dunking on Nazi’s is sort of what I do.

Oh yeah, the Other debunked tunnel propaganda .

That article doesn’t debunk it. It simultaneously says the proof of the tunnels under the hospital is unconvincing and then says “but Israel build basement rooms in the 1980s so it doesn’t count.”

Also, let’s not forget the hilariously bad video they put out as “”“proof”“” from months before.

“They” in this case was a random Twitter account chasing clout.

The IDF invited NBC and other news organizations to tour the tunnels they found. Along with a bunch of other proof of their usage.

Maybe the problem is that you look at random Twitter accounts chasing clout as legitimate sources. There’s a ton of these clout fiends talking shit on both sides sharing false or doctored video.

I ain’t even reading it.

Everything you need to know about your position.

It’s been confirmed multiple times from multiple sources that Gaza’s largest hospitals are connected to Hamas’ tunnel network. The UNWRA, various doctor groups and various media outlets had reported it prior to this most recent conflict.

For someone moderately or more paying attention there should have been no reason to doubt those claims from the IDF; not just because they cane with nominally verifiable audio and video evidence. But also because Hamas has never refuted claims about its use of its tunnel network in and around hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure.

You’re an ignorant person man. Your mistaking a war with a genocide. Hamas can end the conflict tomorrow by surrendering. A conflict they started by murdering, enslaving and raping undeniably innocent people.

If Hamas surrenders and the bombs keep falling nobody will be yelling genocide more than I. But equating incompetence on the part of Hamas’s defense strategy and stubbornness on it’s war goals with a genocide. Hamas’ blind and overconfident aggression is the cause of theses deaths in Gaza. Being blind to that doesn’t make you moral.

Did you know there are Jewish palastinians?

About 50% of Israeli Jews are descendants Arabs, Persians and North Africans who were forcibly relocated to Israel by the leaders of the Arab world or native to the region. Israel is a reservation, agreed to and established by Arabs as part of the agreement between their leaders and European leaders to overthrow the Ottoman Empire.

I’ve seen videos of Israeli settlers kicking palastinians out of their home at gunpoint saying that the state sold them the house. It’s a state doing a genocide.

In the West Bank or the Gaza strip? Because there are no and have been no settlements in the Gaza Strip in a generation.

So again, is it a genocide because you feel like it or because they’re Jews?

Ahh so are you one of those “genocide is what I feel it is” folk or one of those “genocide is when the Jews are still alive” sort of folk?

There wasn’t a “genocide” on Oct 6th.

Because now they’ll be pursued for the rest of their life. Free a hostage and you have essentially a get out of jail free card.

according to who lmao

It’s called proof of life. It’s a common thing in hostage taking; because dead hostage aren’t worth as much as live ones.

Because that’s the standard Hostage taking behavior.
