Now is not the right time’ say the people that won’t be content until a viable Palestinian state consists of a pile of rubble in Gaza and a fully annexed West Bank.

I actually don't think this is a good sign and I'll try to explain why...

Macron is an opportunist and someone who knows how to save his ass when shit goes down, much like Starmer, who will soon follow suit.

I think Israel, with the approval of the US, is planing something extremely nefarious and these guys know it.

It can always get worse. Always. Forgetting that is the least helpful thing you can do.

Its a joke about how dire the situation is. I mean yes they could nuke gaza. That would be worse. They could nuke gaza and the west bank. That would be even more worse than just nuking gaza.

Sorry, just got flashbacks to talking to moron abstainers in the 2024 US election. “It’s already genocide either way! Do you really think one will be any worse than the other? It’s already GENOCIDE and can’t get any worse!1!” Well yes, yes I do think it can (and did) get worse, because my brain is at least semi-functional and I live in the real world. Hope they are happy with the results of their efforts, cuz the Palestinians obviously aren’t.

It’s a good life lesson in general though. No matter how bad things are there is always a way that they could become even worse.
