The Media Is Smearing the Democratic Socialists of America on Palestine
While mainstream politicians are supporting Israeli violence against civilians in Gaza, some in the media have focused on denouncing the left-wing group Democratic Socialists of America — and in doing so, they’ve played fast and loose with the facts.
You're viewing a single thread.
Still pretty weak, TBH. Language calling Hamas' actions "attacks on random Israeli civilians" while giving at least some credence to the phrase "Israel's right to defend itself." That's a lot of giveaway to imperialist and Zionist propaganda while allegedly trying to clear the air on who holds what opinions.
This is an anti-colonial struggle. Colonized people have a right to defend themselves. Nation-states absolutely fucking do not, nor do colonizers while they violently expand their colonies, uphold apartheid, and continue to commit genocide. Upholding one's oppression is not coherent with self-defense, sorry.
@khalic @StrayCatFrump For generations now, the kill ratio in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict has been 10 to 1: ten Palestinians killed for every one Israeli.
Israel has within its borders two million desperately poor stateless people with no hope for the future and nowhere to go.
If you put a kettle on the stove, duct tape it so nothing can get out, and then turn the heat up as high as possible, an explosion is inevitable.
Your glee at the horrors that are coming is antisocial.
