I know this is a dumb question, but is that based on anything? Like a paraphrase of something? Or just headcanon?
This is a weird thing to say, but I actually don't think that there's any indication that Harris or Trump would do anything substantially different with regard to Israel, but the biggest change is that if Trump wins, I suspect that coverage of this will disappear behind all the coverage of his domestic chaos. At least if Harris is president I think there is a chance we see the press maintain a modicrum of interest in covering this.
Either way, words can't describe my anger that Harris appears to be prepared to throw the election over her support for genocide. It is an unreal situation to watch.
This is actually a persistent myth: there is no evidence that they are beholden to a constituency that would punish them for any actions that curtail Israel.
Israel's actions are wildly unpopular across the electorate. They are unpopular with nearly all Democrats as well as most independents and a very large plurally of Republicans. I have seen numerous polls that show that there is a very significant number of voters that Harris is losing over this, and I have seen absolutely nothing to indicate that there is any measurable cost to her speaking out against Israel at all. Which is really sad. Because it means that this is absolutely a moral choice on her part. This is not an electoral choice at all.
There is a lot about this that is nuts, but one thing that really jumps out at me.
It seems like Netanyahu is planning an October surprise to shank Harris. And it seems like he is doing it in broad daylight. It certainly seems like a massive offensive strike on Iran one or two weeks before the election is a straightforward way to throw a close election to Trump.
But with this I have to ask: are Biden and Harris assisting with a plan that is clearly intended to cost Harris the election?
I want to say that they surely must've told Israel not to launch anything before election day. But based in their actions so far, it doesn't seem like they're imposing a "no election interference against us personally" requirement as a condition of their assistance.
I guess we'll see.
I think that as someone else pointed out, this is just a reflection of their tastes.
In a long running series like this, it's not surprising that when every show is trying to find new conceptual territory, someone would go this way.
You know, this seems like the kind of thing people should hear from his primary opponent.
This tool is like a piece of dark comedy.
It's like someone made a robot of Jonathan Greenblatt.
Beep! Booop! This article is describing direct genocidal intent expressed by Israeli commanders! Calculating false information... 100%: if this information were true, it would mean Israel is committing genocide, which cannot be. Calculating bias: 100%: a reasonable observer would conclude Israel is the aggressor and Palestinian civilians are clearly their victims, which is an uncomplicated premise and cannot be! Antisemitism confirmed! (Initiating drone strike....)
Agreed.
This plan is forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and annexation via mass extermination.
This is horrifying. And it cuts both ways: these generals are drowning what is left of Israel's credibility, international goodwill, and social fabric. They're killing two countries.
That looks very pretty. How old is the kid?
Can I offer some constructive critique?
This meme is getting downvoted because it is both a fairly dumb concept but also a very unsatisfying execution.
You need to take your idea and communicate it in a meme response. It could be a meme representing confusion or sarcasm, but adding "Breaking New..." as bottom text is really not going to go well even if everyone thought your opinion was good.
Guess what?

In one encounter, the players are attacked by a squad of mysterious masked shock troops of some kind. Here is the cyberpunky look I gave them, along with distinct face plates meant to give the characters a way to easily distinguish and describe them.
Here are the other three:
This is Deiter Gerhardt, aka "Mentok the Mindtaker!"
Mentok is a primary antagonist in our first collection of adventures. He picked his nom de hack by looking through a list of mind-controlling supervillains from classical literature and chose Mentok because he didn't really understand the contemporary context of who Mentok the Mindtaker is.
I give great thanks to @jackgross@slrpnk.net for this fantastic portrait.
I commented on a post about the book "The Lost Cause", then followed up to mention that our game's setting is built on a similar vision to author Cory Doctorow's in that book. I communicated that we hope our game appeals to a similar audience. And Cory Doctorow saw this, and shared it with his followers!
Cory Doctorow has now officially heard of us, and apparently vibes with our general concept!
That's a good question. Is your friend an evangelical Christian? A lot of people don't know this, but the actual biggest plurality of political Zionists in the US are not Jews, but Evangelical Christians who support Israel because they believe it is a chess piece in bringing about the end of the world (which is a good thing in their dogma).
They also happen to often like the idea of ethnofascism, which is a very sad state of affairs.
