you get a flood of palestinian immigrants to drive up cost of living even higher

Well, our taxes are no longer being used to fund it.

they are being used to fund ice pretending to effect immigration instead now woo!

That depends on what you mean by "affect", "NJ", "America", "living" and "me"

It means you can eat at Greek restaurants without fear.

I like to buy these 3-Liter jugs of Deer Park water to drink because the tap water sucks
They've gone up 10% in price

How the **** does water go up in price....

Less sheep rioting in your streets for the war to end?

No more domestic Israeli and Palestinian riots and threats in your streets?

The cost of living is still insane

How does ending the Gaza genocide affect me?

It dont. Your grocery prices will keep being high. Trump have conned his voters good. Soon one year into his term and 90% of what he promised has never been done. And fewer people want to travel to the US now. Affraid of being jailed by ICE.

Trump made sure to make everyone his enemy.

like all foreign things, it rarely does. but that does not mean you cannot care as a person.

Because it's important to have empathy. Suffering isn’t something you should only care about when it happens on your doorstep. If it was you or your family trying to survive, wouldn’t you want others to care too?

Ultimately ignoring this kind of thing when it's far away (not affecting you directly) only serves to normalise it closer to home.

It doesn't.

Lmao, I know that old moniker "out of sight, out of mind" is so true these days.

But some of us cant relax comfortably knowing kids are being blown up and shot with drones on the other side of the world.

That stuff really messes with me sometimes, even though there is nothing I can do about it.

Weight of the world and all that.

It's like when people talk about the Epstein stuff. Doesn't affect them personally they just want justice.

Well get ready to never relax again because kids are still being blown up and shot with drones on the other side of the world and likely will be for the duration of your lifetime.
