@FmrMAGA_Patriot@ggreenwald Iran declared war on the United States in 1979 and since then they have done everything possible to pursue that aim at the expense of their own population. The only way to secure long term peace is to get rid of that regime. Otherwise they will obtain a nuclear weapon and use it.
@emeriticus Alex Pretti's death was a tragedy but I have two questions.
Why was he carrying a gun to a demonstration against Federal officials?
And why did the governor Tim Walz stir up so much hatred beforehand that would lead to an inevitable tragedy?
@YusufCatStevens If you believe that peace is at the heart of Islam's message, I'm afraid you don't understand your own religion. And I speak as one who has read the Quran.
@deanbegley1 Are you a complete idiot? Your post suggests you are. Tommy held his ground remarkably well in the face of provocation from an aggressive provocateur. If he had reacted violently he would probably have been thrown in jai. You really need to look at yourself.
@DillyHussain88@TRobinsonNewEra Tommy Robinson, whatever you think of him, is as far from a coward as it's possible to be. The guy who confronted him is the coward and the bigot.
@JuliaHB1@realDonaldTrump Why is it disgusting? Trump is giving his opinion and showing that he's not a hypocrite. If the deaths had been reversed I suspect that Reiner would have made similar comments about Trump.
@RobertMCle@ggreenwald Palestinians are powerless because they know that if they speak out against Hamas they will be dead within 24 hours. You really need to stop repeating nonsense and you must try to understand Hamas and its evil ideology. You have no excuse for such a refusal to face the truth.
@ggreenwald Racism is appalling, regardless of who is its target. But these days the people against whom it is most often directed are Jews. And I say that as a non-Jew. Israel is fighting an existential battle against Hamas, which has the genocide of the Jewish race as a firm principle.
@ggreenwald@disdainty Are you not aware of the daily rocket attacks into Israel and originating in Gaza? Should Israel not respond to being attacked. As Mrs Golda Meir said, if the Palestinians were to disarm there would be peace throughout the region, but if the Israelis disarmed, they would be dead.
@ggreenwald It is bigoted because Israel is fighting an existential war for the free world, in which we are invested. Ukraine is far from being described in that way.
@ggreenwald Glenn, I agree with you on many things but I can't understand why you are so blind to the evil of Hamas. Have you not seen them killing their own people? I'm neither Jewish nor Israeli but I can't see any hope for Gaza until Hamas is destroyed.
@ggreenwald I struggle to understand your hostility to Israel, which is a liberal democracy surrounded by authoritarian regimes that are hostile to it. Israel is the only country in the region whose citizens can speak freely. Surely this is worth defending by everyone in the west.
@ggreenwald@moonmadness57 I think that's a mistaken response. I read the output of many different authors, left and right, but I believe that Hamas is uniquely evil in the modern world and supporting them, which many in Palestine Action do, is far more dangerous than @Glinnner's words about trans issues.
