Obviously trying to poison the well of support for Palestine by aligning it with the most notorious terrorist organization in the world

CIA in 2003: "We should find a bunch of people who can speak Middle Eastern and Asian dialects, so that we can better translate and interpret conversations between people in these countries. Lets go find native speakers and bring them on board."

There will be a vacancy for a senior CIA position soon, and a funeral for someone killed for being pro-Palestine. Totally unrelated ofc.

Lived by waging unbridled terrorism on the working class around the world, died by posting

Damn imagine being so ruthless that even a CIA Official start posting against you.

Apologies if this is insensitive (I haven’t kept up with the news), but isn’t Palestine the “good” side?

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a funny way to phrase it, but ostensibly, yes Palestine is the side which has a right to exist and is not a settler colonialist entity.

The reason behind the post is the irony behind a CIA official recognizing this, when the CIA has undermined Palestinian freedom (and the freedom of countless other nations and groups).

Sorry, didn’t know how else to how phrase it. 😅

Thanks for the answer, helps a lot.

“Heartbreaking” is an inside joke in reference to heartbreakingHeartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point.”
