When the Democratic party’s governing body adjourned its meeting on Saturday in New Orleans, supporters of Palestine and an end of the genocide in Gaza had few reasons to celebrate. The Democratic National Committee had refused to give any ground to the large majority of the party’s voters with distinctly negative views of Israel…

…But the DNC continues to operate as if fully sealed off from the party’s voters on such matters. When the national meeting got under way on Thursday, the party’s resolutions committee proceeded to quickly discard a pair of resolutions critical of Israel…

..,The Democratic National Committee is a powerful model of what ails the party leadership at a time when the US-Israel alliance has been rampaging through the Middle East, terrorizing millions of people while leaving deaths and injuries and colossal destruction in its wake.

You was literally saying the west have to be imperialist because the other wise is imperialism. You are saying the west have to support a settler colonial power because China and Russia are imperialism although China and Russia has decent relation with Israel . At least Tankies are open about support the war of aggression on Ukraine while you are doing apologia for the western imperialism and it's support for a terrorist state called Israel

You excuse Western support for settler colonialism…

You're the one justifying imperialism, not me. I never said that China and Russia should be allowed to expand. You love to ignore the good relations that China, Russia, and Israel maintain. You're as bad as tanki, if not worse.

No, you're not, you're making excuses for the East's support of settler colonialism.

There is no future where the USA and Europe completely withdraws from the middle east which does not include massive expansion of eastern operations in the region including psyops, invasions, wars, etc and only ending when one autocracy stands above all others.

I support Ukraine's right to defend itself against Russia, I support Taiwan's right to defend itself against China. The only one who supports settler colonialism is you. Israel maintains good relations with China and Russia, and yet you continue to defend Western support for a colonial power that wants to exterminate Palestinians from their land.

I guess you're not a Tankie and just a shortsighted fool. IDK how you ever had me pegged for a Zionist at all, I've been extremely consistent about sending genocide advocates and warmongers to the Hague for their crimes.
