Abdul El-Sayed: “I know that antisemitism exists and it’s a very dangerous force. But I also know that trying to meld the interests of Judaism and the Jewish people with the interests of a Super PAC and a foreign government itself risks exacerbating antisemitism because just like I don’t want to be held accountable for what the Egyptian government does because I share ethnicity with the people who live in Egypt, I don’t think Jewish people in Michigan or America want to be held accountable for what the Israeli government does”
im genuinely intolerant of religion like in a way that even progressives probably think is problematic. you have this made up idea of existence from a story book and you reject the reality of the world around you to the point of hate and violence. while looking stupid as fuck
Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”
In case you haven’t noticed Democrats are only built to crush the Left. They HAVE NO CLUE how to deal with the Right beyond appeasement. Any fighting spirit has been bred out of that entire organization. They cannot meet the moment.
There’s nothing more American than taking up arms in self-defense against a tyrannical government. That’s bipartisan and deeply historical. Don’t ever let them tell you otherwise.
Watching the showdown between ICE and the people of LA, it makes me think that if ICE came to Oakland they would regret it. On the other hand, if ICE came to San Francisco, Senator Scott Wiener would make a lengthy & measured post on threads before having lunch at Zuni.
Germany banning AfD is good. Brazil banning Bolsonaro from running again is also the right choice. Romania and France banning fascist candidates is also good. Nations stepping up and doing whatever they can to stop fascism is necessary, good, and should be the expectation anywhere in the world. We don’t need any of these fascist political parties to exist, ever, under any circumstances. It doesn’t benefit society in any way to give Nazis a seat at the table.
U.S. politics is currently a battle between Democrat octogenarians/their handpicked mealymouthed successors and an army of sociopathic Gen X Republicans, religious extremists and podcast bros who don’t know how to read. Meanwhile, Chinese politicians have PhDs, 5000 years of history to draw from and the strongest economy in the world. So expect no food on the shelves in the next few weeks, the writing’s on the wall.
Every time America goes through one of these dark periods, the leaders responsible never get held accountable. It’s always a rush to move past things and find common ground. Well, this time we can’t play those games anymore. It needs to be clear that the people responsible for this will be going straight to jail. And that’s being generous.
Antisemitism in Ireland is really scary right now. A soldier in an army currently committing genocide can’t even go to a restaurant and be rude to the staff without someone calling him a scumbag
@Cappyarmy they stopped when the ceasefire was implemented only to restart when israel stopped humanitarian aid from going in to gaza. maybe that’s another solution that doesn’t require 18 year old from arkansas getting their dicks shot off so that israel can continue doing a genocide 🤷🏻
