Oh me? I’m soooo anti-war that I want to protect the genocidal oppressors berdly-smug

[–] context@hexbear.net 65 points 2 months ago

social-democracy the genociders have a right to defend themselves from the people they're genociding

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 64 points 2 months ago

Crazy idea: if Israel was more vulnerable to attacks from other powers in the region that want to stop the genocide, that might just encourage them to end the genocide.

Pelosification 100% complete

There's zero chance in hell dem leadership allows anyone who ever held the views she once claimed to hold near the levers of power

BONUS ROUND: UNLOCKED

[–] TheRogueKitten@hexbear.net 62 points 2 months ago (2 children)

She does this when Omar and Tlaib actually voted the right way...

Tlaib being a PALESTINIAN American voted with her people at heart.

That's TWO major Palestine fuck ups she pulled, the first being the "Present" vote.

I hate this "representative" democracy bullshit.

She must be very tired having worked so long on it

[–] PalestinianDream@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

that present vote felt like such a turning point for her it literally changed nothing in the outcome of the bill yet she still did it at the last moment, complete with her crocodile tears

Someone post photos of dead Palestinian children in r/murdered_by_aoc

[–] Grerkol@leminal.space 45 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Nobody should be defending Israel right now.

Someone might go further than that but we're not allowed to say anything positive about groups like Palestine Action or anyone trying to protect Palestinians.

[–] corvidenjoyer@hexbear.net 48 points 2 months ago

I'll say it on your behalf then,

Death to America! amerikkkaidf-cool Death to Isreal!

Victory to the Resistance Axis! sinwar-victory

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

death death to the IDF

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

And yet, the weapons still flow into Israel

Not exactly doing a good job either way

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

I remain focused on non-existent ways to cut off the flow of munitions used to kill Palestinians which is inseperable from the munitions used for any other purposes.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago

the bill would have cut 500 million in "defense missiles", but the entity could still just buy them outright

this was a minuscule way to highlight the contradiction (considering Biden has provided military aid in the 10s of billions)

completely cooked LIB

[–] cinnaa42@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

why do american keep expecting democrats to do anything good. why are people surprised about this. why are people surprised that Mamdani has already started "moderating" his comments on intifada. if you're willing to run as a democrat, a party stained with centuries of blood, then you'll be willing to stoop as low as necessary to attain power and "make a difference".

[–] ingirumimus@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

I think for me its the fact the genocide in Palestine so blatantly evil, so obviously unjustifiable as "necessary/defensive/whatever" even by the most insane zionist depiction of what happened on 10/7 that I am genuinely surprised at the number of democrats who are able to equivocate about it, much less justify to themselves any kind of support for the israel genocide machine. Like, I knew at some level the democrats were soulless, the party elite especially, but the fact that not even the backbenchers are turned off by actively perpetrating a genocide (even after polls say that a supermajority of their base is opposed to it, which shouldn't matter but does) is insane. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but idk its just so hard to fathom being ok with any of this

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Always the opportunist. And from the bill it does appear to be for "defense" but the assymetry is obvious, give iron dome to hamas, not Israel if you want to save lives.

And even if it were completely for "defense" its still an unconditional transfer so Israel has to use less of its own resources for the same, used instead for massacring Palestinians.

this wolf in sheeps clothing ate a bunch of my flock! What the fuck???

AOC is such trash.

[–] PalestinianDream@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

not on twitter please tell me ppl are shitting on her for this

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

any demsoc entering to "work within the system" or "get reelected" or "find power" in the soul-remover mechanism of western politics is inherently ahistorical or not a leftist, choose one.

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

More than that, they're directly aiding and abetting in a explicit Holocaust. They are no different from Goebbels and the other Nazi propagandists, or- considering in this case AOC is directly supplying the Zionists herself- Eichmann and those other bureaucrats responsible for the logistics of the Nazis' Holocaust.

And each and every single one of them should be brought to trial at Nuremberg, and hung and left to rot.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

She is running.

[–] aanes_appreciator@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

Crazy idea AOC, what happened in Gaza every fucking time the """iron dome""" was shit on by a righteous anti-imperialist nissile force?

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

In order to reduce the casualties of innocent israelis the only logical thing to do would be to give high precision missiles and intelligence to Hamas and all resistance groups so we know they're aren't hurting any of those poor innocents
