TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel’s operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

    I blame them for making my minority friends fear for the lives they’ve built in the us.

    I blame them for making my trans sister fear for her life.

    I blame them for allowing republicans to completely destroy social services and vital parts of the US government.

    There was so much more at stake than continued genocide in a country half way around the world.

    They deserve at least some of the blame, because they allowed all this to happen.

        Thank you.

        I only wish the people who abstained had enough brain power to think more than a half step ahead.

        Fuck all of them. Every single one is an absolute shit stain, no better than a magat.
