The Nobel Peace Prize is being awarded at a time when the U.S. bombed four boats off the coast of Venezuela, killing 21 people. Colombia's President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday that the U.S. killed Colombians in one of the boats it bombed in the Caribbean for allegedly carrying drugs.

This is ten times worse than anything Ilhan Omar has ever done or said, and yet she’s constantly accused of antisemitism. Wonder what the difference is

ro khanna coming out as a hardcore antisemite is a horrifying sign of the times but somehow completely unsurprising for him

Ro Khanna @rokhanna.bsky.social · 1d

I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

I am proud to be one of the handful of Democrats standing up against Big Money.

This is the man Ro Khanna is platforming discussing Pizzagate on Joe Rogan in March of this year.

Ian Carroll, whom Democratic representative Ro Khanna is featuring in this video, claims Israel invented Holocaust denial to discredit its critics, that the US is controlled by a "Zionist mafia," and that Jews did 9/11.

Really bad that Democrats are platforming overt antisemites like this!

There was that story that McMorrow was soliciting AIPAC support but I’m kind of skeptical because
1. They were already behind Stevens
2. That’s a poisoned chalice right there

Bill McKay @mckay4senate.bsky.social · 23h

McMorrow is capable of being bullied into the right thing and Stevens is too stupid and egotistical to think she isn’t doing the right thing no matter what she does.

(Stares directly at camera)

Kort has heard women in mixed-orientation relationships say that gay men are more emotionally available and open to their input. And he stresses that not all of these partnerships are sexless. “Gay men are able to have sex with a woman if that’s his person,” he said.

I am once again posting the section from German Social Democrat Friedrich Kellner's wartime diary on the Holocaust:

A soldier on leave here said he personally witnessed a terrible atrocity in the occupied part of Poland. He watched as naked Jewish men and women were placed in front of a long deep ditch and, upon the order of the SS, were shot by Ukrainians in the back of their heads, and they fell into the ditch. Then the ditch was filled in as screams kept coming from it!! These inhuman atrocities are so terrible that even the Ukrainians who were used for the manual labor suffered nervous breakdowns. All soldiers who had knowledge of these bestial actions of those Nazi sub-human beings were of the same opinion that the German people should already be trembling in their shoes because of the coming retribution. There is no punishment that would be hard enough to be applied to these Nazi beasts. Of course, in the case of retribution the innocent will have to suffer along with them. Ninety-nine percent of the German people, directly or indirectly, carry the guilt for the present situation. Therefore we can only say this: Those who travel together, hang together.[24]

Pardon me if I'm not clutching pearls that people who voted for "team suffering" might suffer.

Particularly when most of the pearl-clutchers didn't give a fuck when Team Suffering killed USAID.

That father in Thailand didn't deserve this.

Some analogies to how Brandt's Ostpolitik mainly involved accepting Eastern Bloc governments, human rights abuses and all, as a form of penance for WW2's Eastern Front

The psychology here is striking similar to the person who doesn’t like what their family member is doing but feels compelled to support them until they change while getting angry at the victim of their behavior attacking “one of them.”

I think it would be more accurate to say he wanted Israel to want a ceasefire and didn’t want to push them more than he wanted to see it. That’s the pattern with these left-Zionist people and that’s how they delude themselves.
