Bud, not sure where you're getting that I'm talking about "The Jews" here. Unequivocally, I'm talking about the Country of Israel as a political apparatus, its ongoing genocide in Palestine, and the resultant response and political fallout for celebrities like Macklemore. Let's not forget his saying literally just 'the two forbidden words' got him immediately deplatformed.
What mythic past exactly is Macklemore yearning for? A time before Israel damaged or destroyed almost every building in Gaza?
Why are you bringing up the Jews, the Republicans, Iran, the Soviet Union, and Russia all of a sudden? No one has said a word about that here that I can see.
In my experience though, these are exactly the ol' faithful defensive lines Zionists throw out when anyone gets too close to changing your mind... Maybe, just maybe, you can see that what Israel is doing in Gaza is truly and utterly inexcusable.
Maybe, just maybe, that's the only point anyone here is trying to make.
