I am getting ads for some politician who was a marine and I kid you not, they have Jessica Lynch saying "He saved my life" you know the woman who famously was NOT in danger and who the US shot up a hospital to stage a daring rescue which she herself admitted to the press because she was ashamed of it. Like holy shit this is just the 2000s again

God that is a good song

If your principles can be bent to allow genocide, they are not principles

The comment I was responding to was specifically saying Bibi. But also, no I don't think Likud should be separated from the rest of Israeli complicity. Likud being destroyed is necessary the same way destroying the NSPD was necessary to destroying the Reich, but I wouldn't say the Nazi party was the central evil that must be destroyed in that fight. That sentiment borders on clean Wehrmacht. All Israeli parties are genocidal and must be neutralized for Palestine to win. People like we are talking about use Bibi and Likud as a scapegoat.

They tell themselves that whatever they do is correct, it is the most anyone could be asked to do. And so those of us who challenge that make them confront the fact that they are cowards, that they are complicit

yeah PART. Remove Bibi and it doesn't get better. The problem is Israel from the bottom up, the problem is zionism as a project. Overselling Bibi is a liberal zionist talking point and covers for the genocidal acts the entire populace partakes in

The tv show Superman and Lois starts off with this, using the rich guy who in the comics buys the Planet and makes it Galaxy Broadcasting, and having him not let Lois publish about how his "rejuvination" schemes for the rustbelt are destroying these places further and abusing peoples desperation. So she quits and works for a Smallville paper that is literally just edited and written by one 20-something.

Lois is always great, but has to be one of the best portrayals

No one here is dumb enough to think Likud is the problem

So what's your number of Palestinians?

My sister who's literal job is human rights law just told me I am selfish because as a dude my rights are not harmed in the US by Trump so I am "allowed" to favor the rights of Palestinians. Absolute ghoul. I think it really bothers her that we tacitly agree on most everything, but I am willing to stand by my values.

FUCK YEAH!!! Wayback machine is working and the page was saved a bunch of times

Here is a link to a still working site with it uploaded https://www.rosalux.de/fileadmin/ls_ni/dokumente/publikationen/80_Jahre_Antifaschistische_Aktion_-_Broschüre.pdf

Bernd Langer wrote a bunch of books on antifa history since the 80s. We should definitely put his stuff (including this) in the Hexbear reading archives or whatever we call the library for the reading club

God can someone do the broadcast "how many at bat's till Ohtani" tracker meme but over footage of Israel getting bombed or bombing residential areas?

Yeah unfortunately the US doesn't have to do direct sabotage for this, though they have in the past. It is like how Iranian officials dying in helicopter crashes or civilian flights crashing there because the US has prevented them from expanding their civilian airfleet

I just wish "not letting Cuba fall" entailed more than lifesupport. Cuba can and has thrived in living memory

I am really worried about Cuba. Things are getting worse, shortages are still regular, power infrastructure is crumbling. it feels like so many anti-american projects are getting isolated again. From Venezuela, to Cuba, to Iran, to Yemen, to Bolivia. Come on China build them a new power plant

I like to imagine these are two totally different operations. Like one agency is sweating when they hear the DPRK found a crashed spy vehicle and is relived it was not theirs, and then someone barges in with news of another one being found.

Holy shit they got the ship to leave without the weapon shipments.

direct action people

Imagine a German in the riechstag who argued "hey we exterminated enough Untermensch now that we killed Kirponos (or if they had killed Medvedev) and avenged all those innocent christan babies the Jews sacrifice and all the people they betrayed in WW1. The Soviets, who are singularly responsible for us losing WW1, are now killed and we are no longer defending ourselves if we keep killing these people who our murder of was totally in response to their evil actions" being remembered as a good hearted person who was a coward and had a blind spot?

Nah fuck him. Hell imagine a self-proclaimed socialist during the Vietnam war celebrating Ho Chi Minh's death and saying "look the evil man who attacked the innocent south is dead, all of that justified napalm is now not ok". It is depraved. This is a Holocaust, and that cannot ever be a "blind-spot", that is just being a fascist genocidaire.

He doesn't need to make a statement, but he is because he thinks this will convince people to vote Harris, that there is some slowdown to the genocide that will happen. This merely obfuscates and gives cover for extermination. Bernie is actively involved in this slaughter and in laundering it to us. This is who he is and what he believes, he fundamentally does not see Palestinians are equally valuable

I was talking about Haniyeh

No one asking her why it didn't end last time Israel murdered the leader of Hamas?
