AIPAC and it’s member, known for smuggling our tax dollar for genocide.
I find it deeply disturbing that when I opened the comment section of a post discussing 400 (now over 700) dead people, mostly innocent children, men, and women, in less than 48 hours, the first reaction was to blame “Arabs,” “Muslims,” “Tankies,” “Leftists,” and “Pro-Palestinians,” using these minority communities as tokens.
This is a glaring display f hypocrisy, these groups are portrayed in a positive light when it benefits politically, only to be thrown under the bus when they are no longer useful…
Any human capable of experiencing empathy would have first reacted with disgust and indignation at the unfolding genocide, rather than resorting to scapegoating and divisive rhetoric, but it may also not be organic comments, what do I know…
Unfortunately it isn’t. When I have some time I call these things out and advocate because I think it’s important that we do not fall into this force feed normalization of cruelty.
Then why do you think people should be shocked rather than discussing causes?

Tankies are not “minority groups”…

There is no hypocrisy. Arabs and Muslims are portrayed in a positive light to counter the American far right’s frothing hatred of them, that was the core reason.

“divisive rhetoric” you sound like a fucking centrist.

I may have used the wrong word but I think you understood what I meant. It’s not an essay, I was displaying the fact that some minority opinions and certain groups of individuals get targeted because they are easy target that helps sway the blame away.

About your second point, I don’t think it’s correct or else we wouldn’t be reading the gloating in the comments I’m targeting.

I am not and will never be a centrist nor a republican, but I will criticize what I deem injustice, bad policies, weak strategies (like ostracizing more of your voter base to make them numb)… etc
so long as trump, bibi, putin, and their sycophants are in power, pretty much every man woman and child in gaza is living on borrowed time.
Which one? Literally every American president since the advent of international criminal law counts as a war criminal. I get you mean Biden, but American imperialism is one of the things wrong with the world.
The problem with you yanks is that you’re too far up your own asses. How predictable is it that the whole discussion under this post is about your last election. Nobody cares any more. Your country is lead by a fascist doing fascist things to you and abroad. And all you do is bicker about what happened half a year ago. Your country is wading in the waters of Rubicon, what are you going to do NOW about it?
what are you going to do NOW about it?
This mess isn’t on some of us. Some of us tried very hard to prevent this outcome and now suddenly we’re expected to clean up other people’s fucking mess.
Nah, fuck that.
Was Einstein complicit when he fled? I intend to try and leave, or take refuge somehow.
You should just ask the AIPAC zionists this question and not us. We take orders from them.
But thank God we stopped Harris right?
Ugh…
No she was not, however there is a difference between someone indifferent to the suffering of others, and someone like Trump who thinks it’s funny
however there is a difference
There’s not. Condemnations and calls to peace do nothing when the flow of weapons and financial support is left untouched.
It’s not, though, as Harris wouldn’t have changed much. The US would have supported Israel in this war whoever the president is. You think Israel would have let a Palestinian or an Arabic authority supervise Gaza after they did all the work of destroying it? Harris wouldn’t have put any real pressure on Israel, and based on her campaign it seemed like even the little angry comments every now and then would also disappear.
A country that may have benefited from Harris being president is Lebanon for example, but for Palestine as a whole this was the plan since the beginning.
What you probably meant is this being about the US and it’s unconditional support, not it’s elections.
