The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”
If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

That's fucked up and unconstitutional (not that it matters to Trumo and co) but I will say it FREE PALESTINE!!! and for good measure FUCK ISRAEL FUCKING NAZIS.
Now I am going go touch some grass, I am done with these fucking racist fascist.
@Fredselfish
We are really turning into 1920s red scare horror in the US.
Both liberal and fascists are united to crush the left. This time by hiding under antisemitism.
I'm trying to understand your perspective from your comments. Do you not believe antisemitism is real? Or increasing?
I believe they are. I also believe genocide in Gaza is bad. I'm a liberal. Just trying to understand why you're a leftist and I'm supposedly not.
Antisemitism =/= antizionism.
Trying to conflate these 2 positions is a shameless strategy by zionists to justify their shameless atrocities. Not to mention that palestinians are literally semites, the actually indigenous people of the region.
Liberals are not leftists
Liberalism is the ideological superstructure of Capitalism, Leftists oppose Capitalism and support Socialism. Everyone believes anti-semitism is real, but since the Liberal status quo needs Israel as a US millitary base in the Middle East, liberals and fascists are joining hands to throw those supporting Palestinian Liberation under the bus.
Liberalism and fascism are both the ideological superstructures of capitalism, just under different circumstances, liberalism in plenty and fascism in crisis. Both are build upon Capitalism as the base, and as such are more similar than they are different, and the differences are explained by the sharpened contradictions in Capitalism leading to more violent repression. In other words, fascism is the ugly face under the mask of liberalism, and Capital takes off the mask and puts it back on depending on its needs.
@blazeknave omg another asshole coming with some BS to waste time.
I have neither time or interest to repeat what I have said a million time to another idiot who ask a stupid question on a post completely unrelated to the question.
Maybe if you weren't such a fucking prick, you wouldn't push away prospective comrades. Big fucking tent you got there boss. FYI those weren't 5 to 12 million socialists this weekend. And the only reason I stopped identifying as a socialist, then a dem soc, then leftist, is bc of your fucking purity test bullshit. Go ahead and delete this and silence my voice and perspective like every fucking open minded leftist on this site. You're pathetic. I've been in the movement for almost 30 years, have literally bled for this democracy, had guns ground into my temple, close range rubber bullet wounds, burns from tear gas canisters. Fuck. You. Your exclusionary crap is gross and you're not going to have a seat at the table on the other side of all this. Useful idiots buying into the dichotomy of the oligarchs, pointing fingers at the other 99% while we all get rolled on. This country's culture reflects its government. You're not outside of it. You just bunch everyone else on the opposing side of you and recreate the same polarized dichotomy. You will never internalize a word of this bc you're closed minded arrogant pricks who deserve the disdain of actual working class people. Kinda like the DNC and their old base.... You don't actually care about people with empathy and compassion. Just the next iteration of Bernie Bros. And fuck off, I have always voted for him and left candidates up and down the ballot except general presidential elections, for literally decades. I helped primary Pelosi bc I'm apparently too left for fucking San Francisco. But I'm "another idiot with a stupid question." I am so sick of you fake fucks. Go get angry about it instead of reflecting like a little baby living in mommy's basement. You're not a fucking hero. You live in an echo chamber. As bad as the military pointing guns at the very neighbors they're supposed to protect in spite of their differences.
What? Where are the republicans who are creating this, voting for this, and not stopping trump in any fashion? This seems like a weird thing to say. Maybe you made a typo?
I think the implication is that the repubs are the fascists.
I've never heard of a republican being called a liberal though. I've seen memes with "libtards", "libtears," etc. That to me says liberals aren't republicans.
They're not calling republicans liberals, they're calling republicans fascists
@Amnesigenic @pelespirit Yeah I'm saying they're both fascists but also that conservatism is liberalism. Western factions have a bunch of annoying terminology. Like "leftists" or "the left" being the dems to a lot of people. Or tje british labour party @palestine
I don’t know how you’ve been on Lemmy for two years and are hearing this for the first time. Previously:
What people in the US usually call “conservative” and what they call “liberal” are both liberal. Fascists in the Republican party aside, both it and the Democratic party are liberal parties. And liberalism and fascism have more in common than most people realize.
You might want to look at other comments in this thread:
and
What about those comments? The Palestinian genocide has been bipartisan, aided and abetted by both Biden and Trump. And on the campaign trail, Harris created no daylight between herself and Biden on the issue.
