This is why many people including myself were letting Platner’s MANY red flags slide, it’s why I’m willing to put up with some incredibly unelectable takes from DSA candidates( abolish prisons etc). I just so desperately want to stop the harm, the violence, the oppression
Everyone should be following his reporting . I am so incredibly tired hearing that people’s stance on Palestine doesn’t matter. It matters to each of us on a soul level.
Had this Palestinian man put up any defense — he would have likely been beaten to death on the spot.
Or, if he survived the beating, he would have likely been arrested and brought to a torture & rape dungeon.
Or, if he survived the beating, but needed medical attention, Israeli occupation forces would have likely prevented the ambulance from reaching him and he would have bled out.
Had that happened then they would have kidnapped his body.
Then they would destroy his home because he is a terrorist for defending himself.
Then they would arrest his family members at his funeral for committing the crime of burying their loved one.
@HaleyforMI How? With what policies? Put Isreal aside for a second. I’m following this race incredibly closely and I don’t have any idea what you’re fighting for except Isreal.
@dicapito He did not vote for Trump. And Palestinians not being able to support a candidate that was actively supporting a genocide against their families has to be understandable for anyone with a heart
@irisengelson@trouble_man90 Crazy take. I assume any one who thinks this way has zero empathy for gazans and doesn’t want people to have Medicare for all. I truly don’t understand what anyone opposes him for.
@jacob_mauren Haley Steven’s can’t win. She’s only polling this well because of AIPAC money, which will dry up after the primary. Because they don’t care who wins in the general election.
