Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday was his pick to serve as US ambassador to Israel, previously argued that there was “no such thing as a Palestinian.”
This is zionism - a political ideology based on colonialism and genocide. There are jewish zionists, christian zionists, atheist zionists, et al. It's got very little to do with religion.
I mean the administration is still debasing itself daily to keep arming a genocide. They're not working very hard to harden things against trump, but they seem to still be hard at work making sure Israel has plenty of bombs. Maybe the centrists should have listened.
I blocked most of them over the last year because the lion's share of them seemed very disingenuous. i.e. they're here only to screech about a wedge issue during an election season, to use it as a bludgeon to universally bash anyone they disagree with, and generally doing nothing but stirring up shit.
I've heard other people mention recently that those accounts have apparently gone silent.
So, let this be a lesson for the next election if we're fortunate enough to have one: If an account does nothing but screech about a wedge issue, just block them. Mods would be wise to take a closer look at those accounts, too.
From a practical standpoint, I don't see any difference between Huckabee's position and Biden/Harris's position. Biden and Harris may not be stating this explicitly, but their actions imply a similar view.
How many stern letters will Biden send to Yahoo before actually taking some action against Israel's crimes? How far will they move the goalposts to avoid pulling support for Israel?
How did their solution of not voting help the Palestinians?
If it didn't, and they didn't expect it to... Then their reason for not voting had nothing to do with their empathy for the Palestinians.
I hate using this word, because it has been co-opted by shitlords, but what they did was virtue signal at the expense of every trans, disabled, immigrant, leftist, gay person, and yes even Palestinian.
