    I’ve been trying to imagine why Tired Old Joe suddenly is calling for a ceasefire. My wild guess is that he’s worried that an invasion of Rafah would be butchery and a bloodbath so bad that the aftermath could continue to election day and he might have totally fucked himself out of any chance for a second term.

        As usual western publics will only cry murder when whites are affected. Disgusting. As with the ukraine war (“omg, those people are like us, it’s unbelievable, blond haired blue eyed people getting attacked for a change”) the rest of the world will remember this

          During the coux back in like 2014 or something, I know CNN made a point of catching all the blonde Ukrainians where they could on camera. Fox focused on the more olive-toned.Slavs in the bunch.

      He’s already done that. There’s no undoing it short of actually punishing Israel in a major way.
