she states that Hamas will continue to exist as a apolitical party, and that it will have a military wing that insists on using military force that must be used in line with international law and must use force to end the occupation.

What a load of crap.

Pure propaganda.

Nothing about Hamas is a military force under international law, nothing they did on Oct 7th was in line with either military rules of engagement or even humanity. No religion would condone what was done that day...

Joy Reid, as usual, did not push back on this at all.

BTW, if this was really an ethnic cleansing campaign... it will take 72 years ( using her figures on death toll and days of military action ) to kill off all 2 million... assuming the birth rate is ZERO for the next 72 years. Hardly a plausible scenario.

Right now there is a cease fire or pause... which is what the far left in the USA have called for. I don't hear anyone calling for all members of Hamas to be arrested and charged with murder or abetting a murder... which is what they most certainly did ( and they filmed it for us ). And yet, as Biden spent hours and hours on phone calls to make this cease fire happen, does anyone on the far left actually give him any credit or are they still accusing him of supporting genocide?

and remind them the only party trying to get them student loan forgiveness is the democrats and the only party fighting it tooth and nail is the republicans.

And to quit being so goddam ageist. Not everyone over 60 is a drooling technophobe incompetent. Sometimes experience counts.

In our history - with 36 years in the Senate and 8 years in the Executive Branch, where he was chosen for his foreign policy experience - he's exactly the POTUS we need right now in these perilous times.
