When asked if he considers himself a Zionist, the governor did not respond directly: “I revere the state of Israel,” he answered. “I’m proud to support the state of Israel. I deeply, deeply oppose Bibi Netanyahu’s leadership, his opposition to the two-state solution and deeply oppose how he is indulging the far right as it relates to what’s going on in the West Bank.”

    I’d rather see a third Trump term than that asshole; and unlike the other guy, I’m not kidding or being sarcastic. It’s like hoping the drunk driver swerves into oncoming traffic rather than continue barreling toward an elementary school’s fieldtrip class. The ratchet effect is in full force and these career/corporate dems are complicit at best.

    No more stalling or stand-still ‘harm reduction’ strategic voting. Fix your shit or die trying America, because calling a brief time-out isn’t going to put out the fires.

    Can we just dwell on how fucking weird it is for a governor of a state to “revere” a country on the other side of the world that has no relation to him at all, genocide or not?

      Do you think the DNC that proffered such jems as Schumer, Clinton, Pelosi, Harris and rejected Sanders for one, is capable of coming to a real opposition? Republicans and Democrats alike are both in the pocket and under control of the Israeli Fascists. You’re already cooked because no one wants to say and run on the clear and obvious truth for fear of pissing off the Israeli puppetmasters. Oh noes! We’ll be called anti-semitic. Israel’s influence is executed through the wealth and power of Wall Street and Hollywood to name two.

      (Just to be clear, Jews are cool, as long as they aren’t supportive of the genocidal fascist apartheird potential or reality of Israel and America.)

      What’s Schumer’s job again? My dude, you’re already cooked.

          Yeah, I have no interest in becoming the 51st state but I also have no interest in fighting a protracted guerilla war under US occupation so I’d really strongly prefer choosing the path where neither of those things have to happen so we can think about eventually reintegrating our economy into a symbiotic relationship with our friendly and cooperative neighbor.

          I’m not holding my breath for it, and I’m not sure we’re ever going to go back to the way things were. But rest assured we’re not looking forward to a future where an authoritarian US government is wielding a terrifying sword of Damocles hanging over our heads either. We really, really want you guys to fix your shit, please. Best of luck, honestly. It matters a lot to us.

  • Wow, we’ve come so far in the last 20 years… In 2006, Jimmy Carter’s book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid was released. Thank goodness we’ve come together as a society to figure out how best to refer to the domination of the Palestinian people 🙄.

    fuck gavin newsome, fuck talking heads, fuck settling for less because the 2 parties are playing bad guy worse guy controlled opposition for us in media charades while serving the same corporate sponsors in unity against us behind the scenes. People are too comfortable and not mad enough. The issues i care about are not being addressed by any of these fucks. The american populace is so pathetic these fucks are getting away with the dumbest shit. Comfort addicted spineless fools as far as the eye can see, making excuses and whining about trivial personal shit while people all over the world face real extreme violent consequences. People have no idea how priveledged they are, how eating out of the trash in the US is luxurious, people are scared of silly things they have never had to really be tested and see how capable they are of being amd doing more and see their discusting complicit way of life of something they cant live without. Scared fucking pigs that dont know what real fear is, addicted to status, comfort, convenience, incapable of seeing beyond their tiny perceptions to cultivate an adventurous spirit for a righteous cause, that they themselves will benefit from. Talking head corporate tool jerk offs will rule the pigpin of the cattle populace as long as people choose to be mud wallowing pigs instead of waking up to their human potential and putting effort into facing the hardship and discomfort and inconvenience of fighting this shit for real, because the reality is people are going to suffer and die either way, might as well make it part of a meaningful fight for freedom instead of a watch it all get worse from your gestation crate.
