“These ‘Little Gazas’ are disgusting cesspools of antisemitic hate”: Tom Cotton rails against pro-Palestinian protests
“These ‘Little Gazas’ are disgusting cesspools of antisemitic hate”: Tom Cotton rails against pro-Palestinian protests.
They can't be little Gazas. There aren't a bunch of dead children.
Yet.
Aren't they on American school grounds? 🤔
Calling this guy a pigshit ratfucker would be an insult to pigshit ratfuckers.
It ludicrous that people allow antisemitism to enter this debate and we would do well to remember the cynicism of those who are prepared to weaponise and deploy the slur.
All you have to do is take any single protestor and look at what they were doing this time last year or the year before .
They were busy boycotting nestle, or marching for BLM, or facing down the alt right, entirely unconcerned with Israel or Jewish people.
They have been activated by Israel’s behaviour toward Gaza which is widely condemned by the United Nations and across the world
I will keep repeating this because it needs to be repeated: I am Jewish. Being against Israel is not antisemitism. It's Israel who wants you to think that.
And Tom.Cotton.
And in 36 hours we'll see the centrists have recalibrated their scales and move rightward yet again. Surely they just need to take one more step to the right before they've triangulated Tom Cotton into electoral doom. Republicans would never just take the validation of their messaging as a win and sign to move further right.
To be clear, this is framed as speculation about the future, but it's a description of the past. Tom Cotton thinks calling college students pro-Hamas is good politics because centrists accommodated and shadowed their previous messaging. The Josh Gottheimers of the world will continually sabotage the party to play centrist and if he's not made a pariah by the rest of the party calling it abhorrent, he gets to define what "the Democrats" are in the media.
Example: "Scoop: Democrats turn up the heat on Columbia University"
I believe we are witnessing a fascist takeover and it doesn't matter who gets elected now.
Context: Tom Cotton is a Republican
and the majority of democrats agree with him.
From the comments:
Here's why he's saying that: the vast majority of US policymakers take money from AIPAC (Biden himself took $11.2M), and these protests scare them because it means that something may change soon and the gravy train may stop. They're just lashing out because their survival is at stake here. I really hope that a possible outcome from all this is AIPAC AND anyone taking their money is forced to register as foreign agents because that's EXACTLY what they are: agents working to further the interests of a foreign nation whose national security interests apparently come before ours, hence why we give them money that we don't have, since we are running a deficit, and our national debt is in the tens of trillions.
Tom Cotton is the most Republican of Republicans
Projection.
Tom Cotton is a disgusting cesspool of hate. Vile might be his middle name. The shit this guy has spewed from his mouth over the years.
Don't give this fool eyeballs
Don’t let a senator operate without being watched.
Give him all the eyeballs and then maybe a good defenestration or two.
We've all seen the video of Tom Cotton asking the Singaporean CEO of TikTok Shou Zi Chew if he's Chinese, right?
At this point why is anyone taking Tom Cotton seriously?
Tom Cotton is the psycho who penned an op-ed urging that the country deploy martial law against BLM protesters. Shit like that is why a specific demographic (Nazis) take him seriously.
