  • Alternative is to expect an ethnic cleansing. I can’t support that.

    How are we to figure out who’s deported? Where do they go?

    I don’t support “remigration” in Europe or my country. Why should it be acceptable in West Asia?

    There are generations born within Israel at this point. It’s disingenuous to boil it down to an occupation within 1 lifetime. 1940s seems ancient history to many in my generation.

    I understand the rage, trust me I do. The solution isn’t to allow Eastern European colonizers be expelled or murdered.

    That’s literally how many countries came into existence.

    We can not expect modern country called Turkiye to dismantle just because Central Asian people moved in and built on top on Byzantium.

    Israel exists. The solution to the problem isn’t to globalized intifada and jihad. It’s not sharia. It’s not privileged westerners converting to Islam and wearing hijab on tiktok as a protest.

    Sanders is a very smart, career politician who is one of those rare politicians who believe in building up for the people. Including Palestinian people.

    I respect your passion but I reject the premise that Bernie is an outright imperialist.





  • Donald pre-election said to vote like Donald Trump is on the ballot.

    After the results came pouring in, he called Fox News and said “I don’t like to consider it a defeat for me – I wasn’t on the ballot”.

    He’s starting to lose grip and his next plan seems to be more war crimes, more divisions, and use veto or whatever dirty games to make effective governance impossible.




  • I didn’t see what makes you say he’s imperialist here.

    He gave calm rational, calculated answers. He couldn’t have made it more clear that he’s taking about the distinction of Palestinian people from the armed insurgents.

    Israel was wanting to use it as an excuse to do their “lawn mowing”. You can’t tell me they’re brilliant enough to carry out pager attacks and be dumb enough to know nothing about Hamas attack.

    Sanders isn’t going to side with Global Intifada and cheer for Hamas ffs. That doesn’t mean he’s supporting Israeli government wholesale.




  • Machiavelli is not someone you should be taking lessons from on anything. You can do so much better than The Prince to understand how modern democracy should be operating.

    We don’t let a hereditary monarch call all the shots anymore. Machiavelli is irrelevant and frankly poor advice.
