Cutting aid to Israel might affect things.

I support forcing their soldiers out.

Yeah.

Mosaddegh was overthrown in 1953 because of US and UK, and about 25 years later, Iran became an Islamic theocracy, which has lasted for about 45 years and seems will continue into its 6th decade.

Well done, America-haters.

I just pulled this out from WP:

wp:Red August

(my bold)

Red August (simplified Chinese: 红八月; traditional Chinese: 紅八月; pinyin: Hóng Bāyuè) is a term used to indicate a period of political violence and massacres in Beijing beginning in August 1966, during the Cultural Revolution.[1][2][3] According to official statistics published in 1980 after the end of the Cultural Revolution, Red Guards in Beijing killed a total of 1,772 people during Red August, while 33,695 homes were ransacked and 85,196 families were forcibly displaced.[1][4][5] However, according to official statistics published in November 1985, the number of deaths in Beijing during Red August was 10,275.[5][6][7]

This was back in Mao's time.

It seems that Communism killed those Chinese people.

I figured they died because they protested in a Communist dictatorship.

Medvedev's drinking again?

IIRC, more Texans voted for Biden in 2020 than those in NYS.

Would you recommend him to your Trump-supporting friends?

(assuming you have Trump-supporting friends 😁)

😁

Your cynicism is both understandable and warranted.

That said, a few Libertarians speak of pollution being a violation of the NAP.

Why do I have to agree with or work with Hamas to want a Palestinian State?

I'm not.

That old fuck has been saying stuff like this for decades.

Is Ali Khamenei on the right side of history?

Presumably you wouldn't stand next to a Nazi who denounces Israel's genocide.

Would you stand next to an Islamic fundamentalist doing the same?

okay.

Yes, IIUC the theory goes that they did it to split support for Fatah, and if so, it seems to have worked.

Arguably, Hamas has done much for the Israeli right.

​

Maybe it's just me, but while I support human rights for Palestinians, the right of Palestinians to be anywhere in Israel, and a right of return for those chased off going back not only to 1948, but earlier, say 1930, nonetheless, fwrick!, I find many of these protesters annoying, be they from Europe, that great shithole of antisemitism, California, where Indigenous were hunted for bounties, NYC where AFAIK, there is no record of the Indigenous in Manhattan getting those gilders for that prime real estate, and as for the leaders of the Muslim-majority countries, fuck Islam and their pedophile prophet (note: I'm not insulting Muslims, I'm insulting Islam).

Comments like this do nothing but make the Pro-Palestinian anti-Genocide movement look pro-Hamas.

some of them are.

wp:Human rights in the Maldives

The constitution declares Islam as the state religion of the Maldives and states that all Maldivian nationals are required to be Sunni Muslims.[13] It is illegal in the country to proselytize any religion other than Islam, and advocate for secularism or the separation of church and state. Apostasy and atheism are also outlawed and those who identify as or accused of being apostates or atheists are punishable by death by Maldivian law (though unenforced) and are often subject to vigilante violence or attacks with little or no consequences for perpetrators by the authorities.

...

Defamation and Speech "contrary to the tenets of Islam" is illegal.

...

As the state partially practices Sharia law in some matters, homosexuality is illegal. The punishment for men is nine months to one year imprisonment, or 10 to 30 lashes. The punishment for women is nine months to one year of house arrest.[3]

"Go back to Israel, draft-dodger. Murder more Gazans. Allāh be praised."

The logic isn't tortured.

Send them back to Israel so they can murder more Gazans.
