This backpedal comes right after meeting with AOC and Bernie Sanders. The two have rubbed their shitlib off on him. Previously he seemed to not be totally for or against (could have generously been seen as "hiding his power level") but now clearly against the phrase.

I still hope Zohran wins though. Him losing would be a big win for the pieces of shit in the media and in power looking to prove that even suggesting Israel might be doing something wrong is forbidden.

Hamas stands for "Harakat al-Muqāwama al-Islāmiyya," and that middle word, "Muqāwama," basically means "resistance" or "struggle," which is what the US Holocaust Memorial Museum changed their Arabic text for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to. I think he cited them using the term "intifada" in the past and that provoked even more accusations of him being an antisemite, but idk if that's why the museum changed it, though they did change it pretty recently.

thanks, yeah the story i heard was that zionists were mad about the word intifada and complained/pressured for that change.
