Israeli forces clashed with Hamas militants across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Israeli military said, deepening its engagement in the decimated enclave even as the Palestinian death toll from relentless airstrikes in 12 weeks of war soared higher.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported Saturday that 165 people had been killed in Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks in the previous 24 hours, adding to the ministry’s toll of more than 21,500 people killed in Gaza since the war began with the Oct. 7 Hamas-led raids into Israel.

    Yeah, keep doing the same as so far, rationalizing the bars on your cell with variants of the same arguments as so far and hoping that the kind of token politician that plays the “outsider” in the same game as played so far will change the very system in which they’re successful (which, funnilly, applies to both Trump and AOC), because doing all that stuff has really been working well for decades…

    You’re not going to find solutions for systemic problems if all you do is look within the system, just like a horse with blinkers on thinks the road is the whole World and there is nothing else to do but travel it, since that’s all they see and that’s exactly the purpose putting blinkers on a horse.

    The closest the US has been to a genuine independent push for change in decades was Occuppy Wall Street, hence why the money and power elites pushed so hard against it.

    It’s not going to be the ballot that changes things in the US, it’s either going to be massive civil society movements pushing for change that cannot be ignored or the widepread misery that will come with a couple more decades of continues decay, and the latter one will be the one with massive pain, suffering and death.

    I suggest you study World History rather than be obcessed by the mechanisms and managed “choices” of the rat maze you’ve been born into.
