@lethukuthula94@r0berto_new_6 I am anti-zionist in terms of I support a single state but also will accept what actual Palestinians want. My view is these people demand adherence to right wing movements like Hamas and that should not be the demand of leftists. Why I call them more tankies than cranks.
This is 100% correct. People have a right to be angry. They also have a responsibility to channel that anger effectively. I would note that the city official responsible for investing in Israel is not Zohran, gave a separate speech today, and was not protested.
I think you’re confused, this is America and you’re allowed to go to Arab restaurants any day of the year. If you prefer apartheid then please consider Israel.
I disagree with this framing. It is ok to grieve specific deaths and tragedies definitely on the anniversary. If you want to also highlight the suffering of the Palestinians go ahead and do so. I would speak to both but let everyone grieve the dead how they wish.
@llwtydeer@ShinMarginalScr It's not going to happen at all. The one state is inevitable at this point. It is either a state with equal rights or a state built be further genocide and ethnic cleansing. If leaders were serious about this decades ago 2SS may have been possible.
Here are FIVE reasons for supporting @AbdulElSayed for Senator without mentioning Trump or Mike Rogers:
1.) He is one of the foremost experts on universal healthcare and will fight for Medicare for all in America, providing quality healthcare to all Americans.
2.) He understands the importance and power of organized labor and will be a vote for the PRO Act, strengthening unions and workers rights.
3.) Housing is at the forefront of the affordability crisis, and he supports zoning reform, mixed use development, and tenants rights to ensure that the housing that is built will be affordable and abundant.
4.) Abdul will protect Michigan’s world class berry and cherry producers by redirecting corporate farm subsidies to our struggling Michigan cherry and berry farmers.
5.) Our Great Lakes are precious natural resources and Abdul vows to co-sign bills which empower the EPA to crack down on corporate polluters and corporations like Nestle and google who suck up our water, as well as to replace all of our outdated lead pipes with pipes that will guarantee all Michiganders safe drinking water.
If you agree with all or most of these proposals, I think the choice is clear. Let’s make Dr. Abdul El-Sayed Michigan’s next senator!
It's worth examining just how much pointed attacks and critiques made by Zionists against Muslim public figures really just boils down to plain old racism coated in perpetual victim mentality. They never say this shit to non-Muslims with the exact same policies.
If you think Mamdani is “captured” by Zionists because he cares about the safety of a substantial community in his city you’re not a principled anti Zionist but a conspiracy theory poisoned Jew hater ultimately aiding Israel’s project
If you think anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism, you’ve lost the plot. Simultaneously, if you think combatting genuine anti-semitism = supporting Zionism, you too have lost the plot and are actively aiding the problematic connotation being pushed rn. There’s no room for anti-Semitism on the left or in society more broadly. Simple as that.
Protesters were right, says Miliband. So why are many languishing in jail—why are hundreds being arrested outside Labour’s conference hall even you speak?
End the repression, lift the ban, or your words mean nothing.
After Benjamin Netanyahu, who I believe is a war criminal, just came and went from New York, I’ve been thinking a lot about the world my first granddaughter is about to enter.
No child should have to grow up wondering whether the next bomb is going to hit their home. No parent should have to wonder whether they can feed their kid or keep them alive. And American taxpayer dollars should not be used to keep fueling that suffering.
Susan Collins has voted again and again to send billions in military aid to Israel throughout this war. She’s part of the same broken Washington system that keeps funding these conflicts while working people here get screwed.
When I get to the United States Senate, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop the killing, get humanitarian aid to the people who need it, and stop writing blank checks for endless wars.
I've been clear where I stand since Day One, and Mainers can check my website to see where I stand.
