Online leftists when the American politician won't say "death to Israel" on live TV: walter-shock

That's not what "globalize the intifada" means though

how hard is it to ask reporter to condemn genocide and apartheid? either he won't and the nuance (tm) is pointless or he will, and then you can talk

(i mean, all this says to me that probability of him fighting nypd/real estate have gone from 20 to 10% or whatever)

I mean he’s already done it, several times, in front of cameras while this is for all intents and purposes a report of a report to a lib journalist

That’s not to say I am hopeful about him or anything

  • ...a lot of people are traumatized by that word [intifada]?
  • for a lot of jewish people, they think of bus bombings...

where did he ask reporter to clarify his stance?

What does globalize the intifada mean and how does backing down to Zionist feelings help American leftism?

come on, it's just one incident but clearly the same self-defeating conciliatory attitude is on display here that got people like Corbyn destroyed. like who is this for?

Right yeah sure that's whats up. Not the very cowardly affirmation that a calling invokes some terror for unrelated burgerland morons. "Online left" my ass. That is a real political person who banked on his supporters and went along with causes until its seemingly inconvenient. Lot of real people are feeling the brunt of terror laid by the american state.

People who did campus protests like khalil are being hounded and their lives are in disarray. But yeah I'm sure soothing dumbass zionists in new york is way more important than a principled stand.
