they got so comfortable... they at least used to hide under their hoods before.
To think, all they had to do was appeal to the lurking bigotry within societies to bring them out and normalize that sort of language. They are sort of screwed if they think they aren't sliding into a world where the evangelicals being radicalized and increasingly in control of the nation financing and supplying it will come asking for their pound of flesh when the shift into a theocratically-narrative-driven oligarchy is established, and then take the whole body.
Literally an appeal to terrorism, it was the right move.
Going on Twitter to complain that your bigotry wasn't well received and then suggesting that Qatar funding is partially to blame is peak irony
In person was all back tracking, and regret. Gets online, and is now a big, strong, keyboard warrior.

"Are you a supporter of Hamas?"
"Are you a racist, violent person inciting violence against me?"
I'm still flabbergasted that there hasn't been more of an international outrage concerning those pagers.
The use of mines as an indiscriminate weapon are already frowned upon,
And here they are using them, scattered throughout a civilian population with absolutely no regard to who could be standing next to their target.
Un-fucking believable.
They bombed dozens of hospitals and orphanages across two countries and also started a starvation siege since that time.
There is no outrage left
Wait.. what?
I'm I reading that right?
12 people killed. 6 of which were 2 children and 4 healthcare workers.
But 2,800 wounded? So all of that wasn't even about neutralizing targets, but maiming?
How many were set off? I have a hard time believing a 12killed : 2800wounded ratio...
EDIT: Google says bout 5000 pagers
CNN: reports 37killked but 3,000 wounded.
There hasn't been outrage because blowing up people with pagers is actually the most targeted thing Israel has done in the past year. Certainly a step up from killing hundreds of refugees to maybe take out one hamas guy.
Girdusky appeared indignant on social media in the hours afterwards and said in a tweet "apparently you can't go on CNN if you make a joke."
"It was a prank, bro!"
The last refuge of the Trumpist shitheel.
Wouldn't that be a slight death threat? Or no, because he said he hoped it didn't happen, ignoring the tone?
"it would be a shame if something happened to your family"
it's a pretty standard form of threat in my opinion.
It's kinda hard to call that a threat. It's more accurate to say it's an accusation that the guy is a terrorist.
from the liver to the knee my internal organs shall be free
what a goddamn idiot
Basically telling someone who's Arab, "I hope you die" in the most racist way possible.
This hate is brought to you by Israel.
Who financed Hamas to destabilize the PLO? Israel.
Reminds me of when you guys invaded my country, murdered my people and fucked off home to call us names and racist sluts for decades. No apology. Now you guys want to moralize to the rest of the world while your hands drip with blood.
Do you know how little that narrows it down?
The exact quote that popped into my head.
Which country? You're gonna have to be a bit more specific.
Good that they banned him. Wishing someone that has a conversation with you but does not agree with you this kind of harm means you need to be excluded from the discourse.
Israelis are now using the same arguments as they do in Israel on American TV.
Not even Western media can protect them from themselves anymore.
The absolute state of Hasbara.
GOP: "stop canceling me!!! everyone should be able to say whatever they want!!!!"
also GOP: "stop kneeling for the anthemmmmm!!!!"
