  • We have states with 20% of voters choosing uncommitted. What are you on about?

  • All of the mainstream media outlets have published articles on the UNWRA report. This is just the most recent coverage.

  • Butcher Biden isn't "good." He's evil, just less evil than Trump. He needs to step aside and let someone else represent the Democratic Party.

  • Yeah, he was quite a bit better than Obama before this, in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised.

  • Tell me you don't care about genocide without saying you don't care about genocide

  • What's truly wild is the misleading media coverage of Glazer's speach. Variety initially quoted him as saying, "Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness." That reads totally different than what he actually said: "Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people." He's refuting the hijacking of their Jewishness, not their Jewishness itself.

    Then NBC News covered his remarks in an article titled "Jonathan Glazer condemns violence in Gaza and Israel in Oscars speech" and subtitled "In his remarks, the director said in part: 'Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?'" They thus give the impression that Glazer's comments were a condemnation of both sides of the conflict, not the targeted criticism of Israel's occupation that it was.

  • Your boss wouldn't prefer an alternative to Trump who isn't a feeble old man?

  • They know I'm talking about the movement that got early inspiration from the Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist Theodor Herzl in 1896 when he called for the establishment of a Jewish state in either Argentina or Palestine to escape anti-semitic persecution throughout Europe? The movement championed by American Protestant lay worker and businessman William Blackstone in 1891 in the petition he circulated, marking the beginning of the alliance of American Christianity with Zionism? Blackstone, who was motivated by the belief that the restoration of a Jewish state in Israel would signal that the rapture was imminent, and whose petition received the most pushback from American Jews?

    They know I'm talking about the movement that was described by Zachary Lockman?:

    Zionism shared the propensity of all nationalisms to ignore the rights, needs, and aspirations of those excluded from the national “family.” But it also partook of an available contemporary European discourse that delineated a certain set of perceptions of, attitudes toward, and relations with the African and Asian lands and peoples subject to, or now falling under, the economic and political domination of Europeans. That broader colonial discourse also drew on, and overlapped with, older European images and representations of “the Orient.”[6] With appropriate modifications, these systems of representation could be made to fit the specific situation of the Jews and of Zionism and could be applied to Palestine, just as they were at that same moment being applied elsewhere by other projects of European colonization and settlement that altogether lacked Zionism's origin as a response to a very real (and worsening) oppression in Europe itself.

  • The Israeli government and their allies have deliberately tried to muddy the waters, calling any criticism of Israel antisemitism. But what is antisemitic is suggesting every Jewish person unconditionally supports every action of a colonial genocidal state.

  • You mean they don't support the Zionist project to drive Palestinians off of their land and claim it for themselves as Israel has done since before the Naqba in 1948? And they want a supposedly progressive politician to call the genocide what it is? Wow, some nutjobs!

  • Stupid people wanting their political representatives to call a spade a spade

  • Asking our politicians to call a genocide a genocide isn't unreasonable. AOC should be ashamed.

  • AOC isn't Jewish and Israel doesn't represent the Jewish people.

  • God-forbid we ask politicians who pretend to be progressive to call a genocide a genocide. We're so far gone in this country that our so-called far-left politicians like Bernie Sanders won't even call for a permanent ceasefire. People are waking up to the depth of moral bankruptcy in our politicians across the board.

  • I'm seeing 10-year-old walking skeletons on Instagram, but in two months Butcher Biden will finish building his floating harbor.

  • I was legitimately thrilled with the Inflation Reduction Act. That was huge. But I can't turn a blind eye on the travesty that is the Gaza genocide. It's not just a continuation of US foreign policy. But maybe our foreign policy wouldn't be so awful if people like you didn't just shrug.

  • I didn't take issue with your characterization of Trump

  • They can just truck aid in, but they won't because Biden either is spineless or he just doesn't care about the babies dying of hunger.
