Um. They absolutely did but not what you wish they did.
Wakmrow
Well they're fascist, I'm not sure why you expect them to be consistent or logical
I'm not downplaying the deaths of 10,000 people or that 30,000 have been injured. There are over a million displaced and over 2 million Palestinians live in Gaza, more in the West Bank and more in the surrounding countries.
Israel cannot win this. It is impossible to accomplish their genocide. That's after weeks of bombing spending who knows how much on munitions. Logistically it's impossible.
I'm so desperate for any one in power to do something, I'll take this anyway
Means testing doesn't work.
I get your trying to help but you're missing the point
This is from 2002 and the source is the Israeli army. I'm exhausted of you assholes.
I keep seeing this question and I'm in disbelief anyone is actually parroting this in good faith.
Not genocide? Can they not do genocide? There are a million different options to combat terrorism but right wing governments only know how to send in shock troops into civilian populations. Just because these assholes are assholes doesn't mean this is the only option.
If there were to be an actual ban on firearms that starts with the police, I would support it.
Republicans passed the mulford act in California.
I don't think you read my comment. I didn't mention mental illness. And I explained how access to firearms will not be restricted to those who commit the violence.
I would prefer to live in a country with no guns but that is not the reality we live in. And it will not be the reality no matter how many laws get pressed. They will be selectively enforced by a fascist police force.
In Colorado, there is a magazine capacity limit of 15 rounds. The police choose not to enforce this. You can walk into any gun store and buy a drum magazine holding 150 rounds. In a metropolitan area with probably the most horrific mass shootings. The only time it will ever be a crime is when the police murder a brown person with a magazine holding more than 15 rounds.
I understand you want to live in a safe community and don't want to read news about mass shooters every week. I think you should accept this and act accordingly, don't bring a knife to a gun fight. The people who hold power do not care and laws they would implement would not stop the violence and would disenfranchise vulnerable communities.
Capital doesn't cease to exist under communism, guy. It just stops being controlled by one person.
