AOC knocks 'bigotry and callousness' at Times Square rally for Palestine
(www.politico.com)
This is shit-tier journalism. Who said something antisemitic and what specifically did they say? Without that information this is merely propaganda.
Politico is owned by Axel Springer SE who also own the Bild, a german tabloid that regularly spreads hate about minorities and anything left of center right. Axel Springer also got funded by the CIA in exchange for promoting a pro american mindset.
Not disagreeing but citations would be nice.
Most of my sources would be in german but most of what I said is mentioned in the wikipedia article and its sources.
Who said I didn't speak German?
Thanks for the info!
Article has no examples of anti-semitism allegedly at the rally. Criticizing Israel is no more racist than criticizing China for their uyghur genocide
This reminds me of the accusations of antisemitism that Jeremy Corbyn attracted during the last election in the UK. I kept asking for evidence of his antisemitism but nobody attacking him could provide anything of substance.
As far as I recall, he attended a funeral where one of the other guests had loose ties to an extremist group.
Some flimsy bullshit like that is why the next general election is going to be a choice between fascism and a feckless centrist party led by a wooden doll that wishes it was a real Tony Blair 😮💨
Guilt by association? I hate that it worked and I hate that people who are sympathetic to Israel would stoop so low.
Yeah, I couldn't agree more tbh. I tried, but turns out there isn't a higher level of agreement than "total" 🤷
Don't you know? The Zionist definition of "antisemitism" includes "literally any criticism of their genocidal apartheid ethnostate, including pointing out that it is, in fact, a genocidal apartheid ethnostate."
We need about 200 more AOCs <3
In general, yes, but not based on this.
Not really. She is an idealist and visionary. She has an idea for what the future of the country should be, but, from what I have seen, she never gets too deep in the details of how to achieve it. We need people like her to say that we should not be using fossil fuels to power our transportation, but we also need people who can determine how much funding the government needs to provide to put more chargers on public parking, what the fine would be for hogging the parking spot, how many parking enforcement officers we will need to patrol them all, how much the power grid will need to be updated to provide power to the chargers…
Yes, many of the details fall to the executive branch to execute, but Congress needs to allocate funding for it, remove legal barriers, decide on penalties for non-compliance, etc.
It's almost like the Muslims want to exterminate Israel so if you protest Israel they show up and genocide is obviously their goal. Israel sucks but I'd never show up to an anti Israel rally for a reason.
In my experience it strongly depends on the organizers. The latest pro-palestine rally i attended was organized by some leftist organizations in coalition with local palestinians and that rally worked out very well. Some conspiracy nuts with signs how Jews rule the world were told to fuck off by some Antifa guys and everything else went very well. Also no national flags besides palestinian ones were allowed, i appreciated that a lot.
I was a dues paying member of the DSA until this rally. I refuse to be associated with this kind of disgusting sentiment.
People have to create good guys/bad guys to suit their point of view I guess. This time it's not that easy, the picture is not that clear for most. But, the vile animalistic acts of Hamas can't be justified in any way. Now, I expect Israel to be draconian in their approach which will light them up more.
Gigachads having normal opinions vs cringe protestors yelling death threats? Right?
