This same hack outlet had 0 issue making comparisons between Hitler and Putin in the past.
Nazi Germany exterminated millions for Russians, yet only the comparison with Israel "crosses a line" ?
If you wanted a clear-cut example of Jewish exceptionalism, here it is.
When they say "democracy" they mean a specific thing.
They mean: elections in which the outcome does not threaten the existing distribution of property and the existing terms on which foreign capital accesses domestic resources.
That kind of "democracy" is promoted. Defended. Supported with funding and observation missions and strongly worded statements when it is threatened.
A democracy that produces an Allende is not that kind of democracy.
An election that produces a Mosaddegh is not that kind of election.
A movement that produces a Lumumba is not that kind of movement.
The word "democracy" is doing the same work as the word "communist" in reverse.
"Communist" names what must be destroyed.
"Democracy" names what must be protected.
Both words, in operational American foreign policy usage, have the same referent underneath:
The arrangement in which Western capital can access the resources it needs on the terms it requires.
Governments that maintain that arrangement are "democratic."
Governments that threaten it are "communist."
The words are not descriptions.
They are assignments.

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
There's nothing "offensive" about comparing the actions and mentality of Israel to those of the Nazis. What is offensive is demanding that one country and only it -- Israel -- be exempt from those comparisons because it hurts people's feelings, or because it seems "bigoted" to compare them.
The whole point of the Nuremberg Trials was that the precedents set there would only have meaning -- i.e., be something beyond mere "victor's justice" -- if those principles applied to the actions of **all countries** in the future. Israel doesn't have some special, unique exemption from the imperative.
Trump reached deep into his profanity lexicon a week ago to warn Netanyahu not to attack, then told the world he had put Bibi in his place and troops were even turning around. Peace was at hand thanks to Trump’s strength and his fury, Axios reported.
A week later that very bombing run is carried out and Iran is promising major retaliation.
We have had a lot of weak presidents over our history but perhaps none weaker than Trump. He gets pushed around by a small nation of a few million people that we subsidize.
‘You would compare what’s happening in Gaza to the Holocaust?’
@Lewis_Goodall rejects Hasan Piker's ‘crass and offensive’ comments comparing Jews to Nazis.
Jimmy Dore: "We preach democracy to China. But we don't have democracy here - the oligarchs run everything. The Princeton study proved 90% of people's wishes never become law. Only the top 10% of wealthy matter.
In China, the government sits above capital. The economy works for the people. Here, capital sits above government. The economy works for billionaires"
He's another amoral machine politician

Labour has nothing else to offer
It is set up to absorb and neutralise the left and—by doing so—make sure nothing fundamental ever changes in Britain
Uncle Iroh voice actor Greg Baldwin criticizes Paramount over the state of the 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' franchise
“Paramount doesn’t care about ATLA ... The new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted"
"Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely. They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism"
"ATLA is a mystery to them."
"They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise."
"Who should lose their jobs to AI? Answer… Studio Executives. Ironically…those cockroaches will be the last to go"
"In conclusion… Fuck you, Paramount"

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.
It was in broad daylight.
The father says:
"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."
Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.
