this just makes me think of the recent Chapo with Mohammad Alsaafin where he proposes that Hamas has realized "western sympathy" has little to no value

Bernie sucks but I just heard the most recent episode of The East Is A Podcast where an academic being interviewed talks about the need to use contradictions to split the imperial core. Not everyone in the USA is gung ho about exterminating Palestine, although we are certainly being made to think that way. We all know for instance how Bernays worked to convince Guatemala that their struggle was pointless for instance when it definitely wasn’t.

cool give me back my $27

My statement on the continuing violence in Israel and Gaza.

Did Bernie turn on the function so only blue checks can reply? He couldn't have - could he?

He didn't. It's Musk's fucked up algos hard at work pushing garbage blue check takes to the top. I'm on a desktop and I had to scroll to page 7 to see a comment by a normal person without a check. Yeesh.

Moderate wing of fascism

"no matter who does it"

but he only says this when hamas lifts a finger.

Bernie retire. You've proved you're worthless and unwilling to confront power

Ok, but as far as the US goes isn't this a good sign? It shows that the domestic front isn't entirely aligned on the extermination of all Palestinians, despite what AOC wants people to think.

bernie is a liberal :spit-emoji-that-we-don't-have:

Wake me up only if Bernie is threatening to use a metal chair on Netanshityoo.

Vacillating weakling, go fuck yourself

I think it's stupid if true, but I get the impression that progressives decided to react to the "initial" part of this, where it was just Palestinians attacking, with "wow that's so bad, who would shoot people?" and waited until after the IDF started bombing to condemn Israel. I think they believe it has some optical value, I really don't though.

It's either this, or the massive bullying from Posters Like You that got most of them to make generally better statements over the next couple of days.

😠

fine, he's good again. supporting an oppressed people at the very moment when they are being universally demonized by power gets a gold star from me.

Maybe his recent bullshit was strategic
