The ad campaigns didn't work, going after colleges didn't work, social media is constantly buzzing with new pictures and videos from palestine even though they tried to clamp down on TikTok and even some Reddit boards are starting to turn around on this whole thing.

This is the "Break Glass In Case of Emergency" option. They had the House vote on condemning anti-semitism and now they want to fuse anti-semitism, hatred of jewish people, with anti-zionism, which is criticism of the Is*aeli government. Next step is to pass laws that allow you to legally silence and deplatform anyone not towing the line.

Funny how they have all this energy for anti-zionism but any time someone floats an anti-fascist/anti-nazi resolution through the UN, it's crickets out of the Amerikans. Motherfuck Amerika, motherfuck Israel, motherfuck anyone who demands my physical support of either monstrous entity

anti-zionism :: anti-fascist/anti-nazi

I'm sure Biden thinks signing this will improve his poll numbers too.

It’s a nonbinding resolution, those don’t go to the president’s desk.

Post says federal crime, hence the confusion.

I'm convinced that Biden is the only candidate they trust to let the zionist have their way. Even if Trump and Desantis say they'll continue support, they don't seem to trust any Republican runner in that camp.

If this passes, will the USians finally stop harping about how wonderful their free speech is?

Never gonna happen lol. We still rave about our "democracy" despite... everything

You're never gonna unfreeze MY peach! I have guns!

They won't. Don't be naive. Unless the US truly collapses, they won't ever shut up about it.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

The way liberals see it, the US doesn't have free speech because it has it, but it has free speech because it is the US

If a dog never runs, he never knows he is on a leash.

Surely it has to be a hugely dangerous precedent to legislate against, uh, criticizing a country? Surely that tramples over some highly valued concept of free speech. I have to wonder if they would extend the same consideration to just about any other country, race or religion on the planet.

2025: Cracker is legally reclassified as hate speech

Let me guess, all the 1st amendment freezepeach crowd is out for blood about that? No? How unsurprising.

Can't wait for them to try and make it illegal to call someone a fascist or war criminal.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Good grief, are the police going to come knocking on my door to arrest me for all of my anti‐Zionist content now?

Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
