Free palestine 🇵🇸
If Israel's existence can only continue by killing children, I'm going to have to say I'd prefer those children to be alive. People > country, in terms of importance AND the fact that people are what makes a country really exist (no populace, no country). That means that, if a country can only exist by killing the innocent, I'm going to side with those people.
I love it when idiot racists call sane Jews antisemitic just because they don't support a genocidal regime that appears to want to exterminate Palestine or just bomb the fuck out of their neighbors. Really shows you have no argument and are just flailing for anything to scream about.
Antizionism =/= Antisemitism. You know that a majority of the jewish diaspora outside of Israel are antizionist, right?
You know that the vast majority of British zionists that helped form Israel were christians, yeah? That they just shared a common goal of islamophobia?
And wanting a bit of coastline to funnel Middle Eastern oil out.
Got any stats that? Would love to see them.
What do you mean by this??
Sanders is overwhelmingly a Zionist, he only somewhat started opposing part of Israel's government when there was overwhelming backlash against him for repeating fascist justification for genocide.
He worked on an Israeli kibbutz in the 60s. He’s also been pretty weak on protecting Palestinians from a genocide, has stated that Israel has a right to defend itself on multiple occasions, and has rejected a ceasefire. He did recently sign a resolution to try to block more arms sales to Israel ($20b worth), but it feels like a weak attempt to try and win back approval from the left.
You realize that Sanders is of Jewish heritage, right? I highly doubt that criticizes he could do against the Netanyahu government would make him antisemitic to any degree...
Zionism? I don't know about you, but I'm not racist so I'm not interested in that shite.
Why are you conflating criticism of a genocidal regime with racism?
How is antizionism not a good thing? Also, what has he done or said that's antisemitic?
He doesn't unconditionally support the murder of brown children, and that makes him antisemitic, because anything a Jewish person does is inherently Judaism, apparently. Pay no attention to Sanders own heritage, mind you.
