The only reason anyone cares about what Israel does is tacit antisemitism. If Israel weren't the world's only Jewish-majority state, nobody would give a crap what happens there, including the Arab world. It'd be exactly the kind of underdeveloped backwater it was under the Ottomans.

Prove it, because that sounds like Palestinian-Nazi shit to me.

A scan of an article from Life Magazine in the 1970s, with the headline "UNWRA SCHOOL HOUSES ARAFAT'S SCHOOL OF VIOLENCE." Prominent on a wall full of Palestinian propaganda posters is a Nazi swastika.

Jesus, take off your tinfoil hat. Probably any Democrats who don't want the client list released are on the list or have friends/family who are, not because it's a nefarious plot by Teh Jooz.

Alberta really traded down when they swapped Rachel Notley for Danielle Smith.

James: The day after that zirconium-crowned king was installed in Washington, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith—at a meeting orchestrated by Kevin O’Leary, a man so prostrate at the altar of mammon he’d sell coal to the devil if it fattened his wallet—was down there stroking the lizard of Mar-a-Lago.

China hasn't been communist in a long time, if it ever was. State capitalism isn't communism; it's closer to fascism.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Fix that.

So fucking what? Trump isn't Stalin. But the whole point of the American experiment during Stalin's time and afterwards was that the US was supposed to be better than the Soviet Union. The US certainly spent enough time preaching about its relative moral high ground, anyway.

Trump still has not followed a court order to release SNAP funds for millions of people.

Meanwhile, he hosted a "Great Gatsby" themed party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

And he posted seven times about renovating a White House bathroom with marble and gold.

Priorities.

Bullshit. 200K people died in 2 years in Darfur. Hamas' war of choice resulted in ~60K casualties in 2 years, mostly because of Hamas' policy of putting civilians in harm's way to get idiots like you to pressure Israel into stopping prematurely so Hamas would be intact enough to do 10/7 again.

A screenshot of an article from the Wall Street Journal with the headline "Gaza Chief's Brutal Calculation: Civilian Bloodshed Will Help Hamas." The article is an interview with former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, where he said that Hamas' policy is to put innocent people in harm's way to manipulate world opinion into pressuring Israel into stopping their military operations prematurely, leaving Hamas capable of launching further genocidal campaigns against Israel.

Twerp, there's no genocide in Gaza. The population is still growing. Only 1 side in the conflict that has consistently used genocidal eliminationist rhetoric, BTW - the Arabs'. They also launched the wars in 1948, '67, and '73, not to mention 10/7.

A screenshot of a tweet with a picture of a telegram in German sent from Heinrich Himmler to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. The English translation is "The National Socialist Movement of the Greater German Reich has since its inception upheld the fight against World Jewry. ... The common recognition of the enemy and the joint struggle against it is what creates the firm foundation between Germany and freedom-seeking Muslims around the world. ... I am pleased to convey to you... warm wishes for your continued struggle until the great victory." Arab factions led by the Mufti, the president of Iraq, and the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood would remain allies with the Nazis throughout the war, even going to Germany to visit an extermination camp as field research toward a plan to implement the Final Solution in the Middle East and North Africa.

The belief that Jews deserve self-determination in their ancestral and spiritual homeland, Israel, is not wrongthink.

In a world where non-Muslims can't even visit Mecca and the Catholic Church has its own state, a state where Judaism is an official religion is a bridge too far for you? Bigot.

The fact that Yarvin's idea involves an "army of invincible robots" should make it self-discrediting from pushback clearance. Yeesh. The guy clearly had an acrimonious divorce from reality years ago.

That isn't what happened. Hamas attacked IDF personnel and has been rampaging through Gaza summarily executing people. But Israel's the problem here. Sure, Jan.

A screenshot of an article from CNN with the headline "Masked Hamas fighters seen executing men in Gaza City as the group fights with rival powers" -- for "fights with rival powers" read "murders political opponents again."
