I think you need to look up what it means to be persecuted

If you look at the actions of Western media and governments, it's pretty clear who is the minority. Palestinian activists have become much more vocal because they're the minority, and no one is standing up for Gazans.

Regardless, you are not being persecuted, by saying so you're trivializing those that are.

lolwut

They're the first people I'd think of. You've got some history to read.

Yeah but did you condemn Hamas thrice daily before doing so? Common mistake.

He probably voted for Hamas so it's chill

Max Miller can say Gaza will be turned into a parking lot, but that's fine and normal.

They saw a brown guy in a press vest and couldn't help themselves. Borders be damned.

Empathy for 4000 dead kids is a controversial opinion apparently.

Funny how you just completely confirmed OPs hesitancy to post. You are not a minority for supporting the IDF.

It won't happen. Here in Canada where we have a healthier multi-party system, electoral reform was a Liberal party platform right up until they got elected, where it swiftly died. There's no way the Democrats don't do the same.

Anna's Archive is an incredible resource. The best thing to come out of the zlib crackdown. I just hope they can resist the pressure as they grow.

I didn't even realise it was still running until recently. He had to have been close to 20 years.

I don't think Homer strangling Bart is the same as the Apu thing.

The strangling was never depicted as acceptable behaviour. It was a cartoonish form of corporal punishment, and served to make Homer look bad tempered and not a great father. I don't think anyone, in the 90s or now, is taking parenting tips from Homer Simpson.

Its just another classic gag gone from a show that's a shell of its former self. I agree with what you said about it becoming the culture though, they really should've cancelled it 20 years ago.

Yeah, this kid voted for Hamas 20 years ago, he definitely deserved it.

Isreal should start killing kids faster actually. The more dead kids we have, the sooner Hamas is defeated. It's a humanitarian slaughter.

Don't forget your daily condom hummus everyone.

The embargo on Cuba was done by executive order. It could be done.

Anti-communism is absolutely a dogwhistle that fascists use, generally when naming organizations or movements. See "Rock Against Communism" etc.

This isn't universally the case though

He absolutely can do that. If Biden said the bombings need to stop or arms transfers and aid to Isreal will be cut off, they would stop. They'd put up a major stink and spout all sorts of vitriol, but they would stop.

Not really. Voting for shitty candidates condones their behaviour and sends a signal that they don't need to change.

Think long term. 20 years of the status quo is worse than 4 years of Trump. And before someone says it, no I'm not saying vote for Trump or that he's better than Biden.

People can't just begrudgingly keep voting for Democrats with policies they don't like. It's short sighted. Yes they could lose an election, at this rate they will anyway, but if we keep doing this then this cycle will just keep going over and over and over again. They need to see that supporting genocide will cost them elections.

Ok, so you're not saying Gaza isn't an open-air prison, you're just defending why it should be one. Cool.
