If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. - Desmond Tutu
It really is that simple folks. Any both-sidesism, well-actualling, or fence-sitting as it relates to Israel and Palestine is simple moral cowardice. Anything less than full-throated support for Palestinian liberation and denunciation of Israel apartheid and murder is de facto support for Israel.
Liberals love to talk about nuance and how actually issues are very complex because they don't have principles; they have positions that can be changed at any moment according to their convenience. They pretend that not taking a stand is a sign of their intelligence, maturity and objectivity. In actuality they are as cowardly and vicious as the most rabid neocon. Their hands are drenched in blood.
Sorry, just had to vent. The last week has been a real blackpill for me, even as someone who lived through the hysteria of 9/11. Death to America. Death to Israel. Death to the West.
Fuck Hasan for being so streamer brained he thinks that's a good idea. "Why don't I get this absolute dipshit reactionary comedian on to talk about Israeli genocide? That'll really bring in the views. Oh I'm so sad."
Death to streamers also
Watching the discourse get steered into the most pedantic corner is always so frustrating.
Israel has been occupying Palestine for 75 years, running a genocidal Apartheid fascist state. Gaza is just a concentration camp that gets bombed into rubble periodically. Over this time they've killed countless thousands of Palestinian children. But then I saw on TV Joe Brandon said 40 Israeli children were decapitated by those horrible Hamas guys, so I have no more sympathy. All dead children matter.
And now we all have to talk about this fucking tabloid ass story.
in a sea of bad coverage, he's giving full-throated support for palestine. he was talking to the dipshit because they already have a show they do together weekly, and said dipshit wanted to talk about it. death to streamers, sure, but this is probably one of the most prominent english-language voices doing wall-to-wall coverage of israeli war crimes.
I'm proud to say I did not know this
it gets someone that's going to take a socialist lens to a bigger audience at least. the dipshit is unfortunately popular.
