  • Why The Smears Against Graham Platner Didn’t Work

  • So what is your plan of action to get it?

  • Read some articles about his campaign events and what he has done in the recent period of time.

  • Really, majority are "Nazi-aligned"? What planet are you living on?

  • That's pretty bleak, and luckily, totally wrong.

  • Lebanese Journalist Amal Khalil Bombed and Left to Die by Israel

    Jump

  • Yes, I have been paying attention. This is the most brazen attack on journalists and Red Cross in one single incident. I stand by what I wrote, (even if it's not really that important).

  • Platner's evolution is what is important, not some dumb fucking tattoo.

  • Nazi?? Really??

  • Mehdi Hasan breaks down the ‘right to exist’ argument about #Israel

  • Thanks for that. I have had paywall issues with Zeteo in the past, so I thought the FB post would work better. I'll try direct URL next time. 🙂

  • Amid Israel's 'forever wars', Palestinians must not abandon the one-state solution

    Jump

  • Getting past the sarcasm, what is your solution? I think a democratic, secular Palestine for all is very sensible and fair.

  • ‘Israel Has Become Dangerous for Jews Around the World’

    Jump

  • First, Temple Israel is a Jewish synagogue, not a Zionist headquarters. Even if 99% of the congregants support Israel, that still wouldn't change that fact. And guess what? It's probably significantly less than 99%. And that percentage keeps dropping by the month because of the unrelenting atrocities by Israel.

    But terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions (even by someone deranged by grief) don't help that process at all. Both real antisemitism and fake charges of antisemitism are on the rise. We need to be smart enough to know the difference in order to advance the liberation of Palestine, and humanity in general.

  • Iran calls on young people to form human chains around power plants as Trump deadline looms

  • don't know what happened - sorry

  • Israeli police are violently suppressing our growing anti-war protests

    Jump

  • Give us some examples, please. I think that is a gross misstatement.

  • In New War With Israel, Hezbollah Defies Notion That It Was Crippled

    Jump

  • The NYT is a mouthpiece of liberal imperialism, no doubt. But in being that, it often reports things that the gutter press like the Post does not. From the Pentagon Papers of the 1970s to exposures of Israeli crimes in Gaza recently, it often supplies material not found elsewhere.

    Call them out when appropriate, which is probably at least a few times per day. (like Assal Rad does.) But boycott, no, I can't go along with that. It doesn't help us.

  • ICE Arrests the Head of Wisconsin’s Largest Islamic Group

    Jump

  • Huh? This article is not anti-Islamic or anti-Palestinian. If the NYT prints something useful, I have no problem posting it.

  • ‘Israel Has Become Dangerous for Jews Around the World’

    Jump

  • Sorry, GC, but you are mistaken here. The introduction from World-Outlook gave some very clear evidence that there is genuine anti-Semitism on the rise world-wide, including the US. I don't know the details on Amsterdam, but I do know that the attack in Michigan was genuine. (I sympathize with the attacker, who lost family to Israeli bombing. But blowing up children is a bad way to fight Zionism.)

    There is both a rise in real anti-Semitism, along with the Zionist (ADL, AIPAC, etc.) slander campaigns against supporters of Palestine, falsely accusing them of anti-Semitism. Both need to be combatted.

  • U.S. to Allow Russian Oil Tanker to Reach Cuba, Breaking Blockade

    Jump

  • Can you elaborate on that?I was using a gift link, but I didn't call it out because some Lemmy admins object to gift links.

    So I usually link the non-gift URL and then add an archive in the body of the post. But this time the archive didn't work, so I stayed with the gift URL.

  • That depends. In this case, just fine.
