Whether it's Zohran in NYC, or Zack in the UK, a solid way of telling when a political candidate has the juice is when the right-wing tabloids start tripping over themselves to smear them as a some kind of authoritarian communist.

Not one of the Israeli supposed peaceniks, interviewed by channel 4news, would being her/himself to accept Palestinian statehood, one after the other saying: Ahhh but this is something to be determined for the future.

Worst still, criticising + lecturing protestors against Gaza genocide…

Palestinian Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaiseer from MSF lived and worked in Gaza throughout the last 2 years. Last month he was evacuated for medical reasons, and Israel only allowed him to take his phone & the clothes on his back.

If fascism makes you want to choose the lesser of two evils again then you’re a fkn goofball and you should delete your account. You don’t give a fck about fascism. You’re just a corporate DNC cheerleader looking for another pay day and you are part of the problem.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”
