@NickKristof Obama ( and Asst Sec Blinken) gave the green light to Saudi Arabia to begin their brutal war on Yemen and then John Kirby whitewashed it. Trump continued this policy. An example of bipartisan complicity in war crimes.
@NancyAFrench I don‘t know if he is guilty but French has her facts wrong— 50 million is a number that was made up by the accused to discredit the case against him. Israeli courts are a farce and NGO Monitor is a rightwing Israeli rag.
@DreadedIgnominy@anna_bahr Deir Yassin occurred in April. The Arab countries invaded in May in response to the expelled refugees. Your theory is that Zionist militias had a wormhole, so when the Arab armies came in the Zionists went back in time and started the Nakba in retaliation.
@Andy7915886@megjones1111869@ryangrim What makes things difficult for you is that Israel’s behavior is and has been vastly worse than you are willing to admit, qualitatively similar to Hamas at its worst but on a much larger scale.
@RosenIsRight@schmarcer@pal_legal Just as with the UAE, when the U.S. supports mass murder in that region it is in part as part of a pro- Israel, anti- Iran policy. Most people protesting Gaza would have protested Yemen if they knew, just as previous generations protested other bad US policies. You know this.
@RosenIsRight@schmarcer@pal_legal I was calling my congressman about Yemen at the time. The far left and the American Conservative types protested it. Israel supporters saw the war as a war against the Houthis and therefore justifiable. The press barely covered it and most people didn’t know.
@crampell Don’t talk about context when you deliberately left out the context — he was making a point about the double standards of Western journalists who use the word “ hostage” for Israelis and “ detainees” or “ prisoners” for Palestinians. You sound like a hack, not a journalist.
@arash_tehran@infinite_jaz It is incoherent to say AOC was using this line to pressure Harris to do what AOC said she was doing. The logic of your own statement implies that Harris wasn’t working for a ceasefire. Also, using the Biden propaganda line is the opposite of pressuring them.
@anaraintuitive@shannonrwatts@hasanthehun That claim about Israel’s alleged wonderful combatant to civilian kill ratio is based on people claiming it over and over again and nothing else.
@MikeCosper I would like to think they were embarrassed by your constant dismissal of Israeli atrocities but that seems unlikely. I wish you well, but don’t think you have much to offer on Christianity and human rights except double standards and we can get that anywhere.
@NewestPapa@peearejay@ajmalkhankakar@yelmjouie You are irrational on this subject. Some of its skits are funny. Some were hilarious back when I watched it. Many fell flat. This one was a mix, mildly funny because it is fairly close to the truth.
@shadihamid The Israeli democracy democratically chose to commit genocide and is guilty of apartheid, so there might be some sort of problem with the political ethos over there.
@SaintHeartwing@MouinRabbani@mehdirhasan Yes, both sides have been committing atrocities going back to 1948 and actually before. I am objecting to the false claim that Israel is the innocent party only acting in self defense.
