Israel is an apartheid state

    Doesn't change that Hamas is a terrorist group. They're literal militarized islamofascists.

    These are the MENA equivalent of if the OneSixers were composed entirely of paramilitary hate groups.

    It's almost like, for once, both sides are bad for real.

    The Israeli government and Hamas are both terrorist forces, and the people among their civilizations (at least those that do not support them) deserve better than them

    There's a reason why Evangelical groups this week are making a big new push on the Republican Party to promote politicians that are as massively pro-Israel as possible.

    They are salivating for the apocalypse to happen.

    But the Russian war wasn't enough? Guess they aren't Muslim enough.

    Israel's apartheid regime is terrorism

    They're basically committing blood libel by lying about decapitated babies. Their settlers paint the star of David on Palestinian homes to intimidate them into leaving the way Germans or Americans would paint swastikas on the homes of Jews. It's beyond terrorism, Palestine has no exit route and no endgame. Israel is the fourth reich.

    The headline is framed to make us forget Israel and the daily humanitarian abuses it commits by using the "GOP==bad" duopoly logic to reinforce the liberal readership's worldview.

    If Hamas use terror, if the GOP uses terror, then what of Israel? Is apartheid not a form of terrorism? Was Jim Crow not a form of terrorism?

    Last night I was thinking how what is going on with Isreal-Palestine is exactly what the fundies in DC want, they couldn't have it better. Tons of Jews and Muslims are going to die horribly and also they will probably get an Isreal that's up to their apocalyptic standards and even a third temple and whatever else it is they want for their prophecies.

    Didn’t read the article. Probably even agree with it. But what a conflation of ideologies. It’s like someone started their doctoral thesis and switched midstream. Maybe Likud and the GOP would be better.
