I've been silent for 21 months of genocide, but this one editorial criticizing Israel will prove I've always been on the right side of history (www.thebeaverton.com)

Most of the criticism isn't directed at a random"someone" its directed at a cadre of DNC/political insiders and press guys who know better and are still treating gaza like its just experiencing an sudden scarcity of food for no discernable reason.

In other words the people being made fun of here aren't "onboard late to the cause", they're opportunists who see a shifting public opinion and want to pretend they weren't cheerleading genocide to get free vacations or whatever. The only reward for "befriending" these public opinion mercenaries is the inevitable backstab.
