Jeremy Scahill is a good journalist. 2 weeks ago he published interviews with leaders of Hamas, which was quite interesting.

he also did pij, which was also interesting meow-floppy

Oh shit, I heard about both but I thought after the second one that I misremembered the first.

if she keeps supporting that genocide; i'm not going to vote for her either.

No, but if she wins she can prevent more blood from ending up on her hands by immediately withdrawing all aid to Israel, legalizing marijuana, and expunging the records of all nonviolent drug offenders. There’s no undoing the mistakes of the past but you can take action to prevent the same mistakes from continuing to happen.

that depends if she has instincts to go for it against bibi (who is also racist), crush him like a bug and break from aipac explicitly. Seems unlikely shrug-outta-hecks, obama was more aware and still behaved like a wet blanket

Agreed- seems very unlikely. I almost think the president would be overruled if they chose to break with Israel.

I think they are just cowards tbh, israel function surrounded by puppets regimes is rather useless. Egypt is not under nasser, yemen is not socialist, saudis wouldn't dare to stop treat flows, jordan has been under heel forever

Well, someone could but not her. If she were the kind of person inclined to not be evil she wouldn't have been abetting evil and wouldn't have been chosen as the candidate for an evil, genocidal party

Out, damned spot; out, I say. One, two,—why, then ’tis time to do’t. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought Palestinian children to have had so much blood in them?

All the Xanax and Vicodin of the white house pharmacy could never wash away this stain
