@blankslate2017@dwdavison Hezbollah is the only reason there is a Lebanese state at all. Without Hezbollah, there would be a wall around Beirut just like Gaza City
You guys are such cliches. He has no idea what he's wearing. He's buttoned both buttons on a two button jacket, which is basically never acceptable. He's wearing a tie pin with a waistcoat. The collar is wrong and it's unbuttoned. Combining 1920s hair with a Victorian moustache is gauche. He looks like a waiter at a try-hard artisanal cocktail place in 2014.
Setting aside the gross normalizing and casual way this piece describes a blatantly racist attack on Tlaib, check out this brilliant geopolitical observation from @aaronpellish
This level of racism and cruelty is completely sociopathic and we have to live with this well funded regime of hate everyday and it solicits almost no media coverage and certainly not any sustained moral outrage or “Islamophobia crisis” narrative we are told we need to address.
Graham Platner should have instead said "Not nuking these fucking animals is the only restraint I expect and that's only because the cloud would hurt Israelis" and then the media class would deem him acceptable.
Israelis are too arrogant/steeped in their supremacist ideology to anticipate the sort of accelerated evolution in Hezbollah’s drone warfare tech/tactics that’ve already taken place a few years ago in Ukraine (and elsewhere). Echoes of Germany late-1941 here.
Trump listened to this crew on Feb 27, while other close advisors were too skittish to express their opposition for fear of coming off as 2 effeminate 2 ride with Team Anti-Woke Warrior. The 6 Week War taught Trump a hard lesson in defeat, but does he even remember that lesson?
@sundot22@nkulw If they successfully eradicated the Palestinians (they won't) they'd be saying the line "you can't blame me for the things my grandparents did" within two months
@sundot22@nkulw The basic premise of liberal Zionism is to get the genocide over with and then transition to talking about it the way America talks about the native American genocide. "The people who did that are horrible and we need to teach our children about these horrors. But I didn't do it"
I can provide firm assurances that the Grand Wizard was not - repeat, not - invited to the Klan rally and that his presence took the KKK leadership entirely by surprise.
@TellBilliam@pissvortex@gayest_tone The usual Zionist pro Holocaust talking point is the exact opposite tho, that they deserved it because they *didn't* fight back by killing lots of German civilians
“Jews would have deserved the holocaust if they reacted violently to it” as a talking point in defense of Israel is truly breaking new ground in right wing intellectualism
