    No I’m being realistic. Any politician who suggests Israel is anything less than perfect is labeled an anti-semite and black listed from Washington.

    Israel owns this country and there’s nothing we can do about it.

    I really wish we could disband AIPAC and stand up and send a message saying “No it’s not anti-semetic to be against child murder.”

    But we live in a climate where even suggesting Israel isn’t a utopia rightfully ruled by the best of the best makes you a Neo Nazi. You’d have better luck getting Texas to abolish Capital Punishment or Kansas to give transpeople their IDs back… which are both goals we should focus on because unlike challenging Israel they are possible.

    I am not an apologist for Israel. I fucking hate them and see Nethanyu as the Modern Day Hitler… but there’s nothing we can do about them.

      Sounds like you’re just saying “Forget the Palestinians they’re fucked. Think about meeeeee.”

      Do I have that right?

        If you were a paramedic and you ran into two people one of them was literally dead and the other was bleeding out… naturally, you would try to save the latter person.

            Wow what?

            There was nothing to gain by refusing to vote for Kamala, the other option was Trump who thinks muslims should “wear special IDs”. Palestine was fucked either way.

            If not voting for Kamala made an Anti-Israel politician ascend from the heavens and replace her on the ticket I’d understand, but that’s not how life works.

            I’m just being an adult. No you can’t have ice cream for dinner, eat your damn peas or go hungry.
