"My job is to keep the left pro-Israel" -Chuck Schumer

[–] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 months ago

That was my thought, too. He can't quit, because he has to help Israel.

To be honest, if I were an American Jew, I would be getting worried. Right now, everything might seem fine and dandy. The immigrants, muslims, Latinos, trans and leftists are being targeted, not Jews.

But Yaakov Shapiro already warned, the Zionist messaging is painting a target on the back of Jews, by telling the world that they are loyal to Israel instead of their own country, the USA.

And when the fascists really have the power, then they won't care about deporting poor Haitian and latino immigrants. They'll just let them work for slave wages.

No, they will start setting their sights on how to take stuff away from rich minorities.

You just know Elon Musk will gladly take over Meta and OpenAI from Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman.

It's also to keep increasing the wealth of conservative billionaires.
