Give this woman a medal
This nonsense is replete here on Lemmy. These purity-test "liberals" are the snake eating its tail and it is more than gratifying to see a strong ally like AOC call this bullshit out. These reprobates do nothing for the Palestinian cause outside of stroking their own lazy egos.
Such liars are in my recent post history and I find myself gladly swatting them down; surely they will defend these selfsame tactics right here where they are laid bare...
God-forbid we ask politicians who pretend to be progressive to call a genocide a genocide. We're so far gone in this country that our so-called far-left politicians like Bernie Sanders won't even call for a permanent ceasefire. People are waking up to the depth of moral bankruptcy in our politicians across the board.
Sure.
These people don't care about Palestine. They are driven by their hate of liberals, women and Jews, and they are loving all this because they now have a mask they can wear and get cheered
AOC isn't Jewish and Israel doesn't represent the Jewish people.
>They are driven by their hate of liberals, women and Jews,
i understand hating liberals, but there is no evidence of misogyny or antisemitism in this story.
That makes no sense. They targeted a liberal woman, why cherry pick her liberal status over her female status for their motivation?
Besides, neither makes sense. They went after one of the staunchest liberals in the House by claiming she wasn't liberal enough. That was false and therefore absurd, but there's no evidence they hate liberals.
Far more likely they're just unfathomably stupid.
Because the right would support Palestine, that's absolutely how this works.
Harassing someone who has been fighting for a ceasefire. These kind of protestors don't realize how they only damage their cause by looking like extremists and idiots.
Asking our politicians to call a genocide a genocide isn't unreasonable. AOC should be ashamed.
The congresswoman, who has been a strong advocate of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, insisted she had already denounced Israel’s actions as genocide and therefore the protesters’ anger was misplaced.
“I already said that it was and y’all are just gonna pretend that it wasn’t over and over again - it’s f---ed up, man,” she said. “And you’re not helping these people, and you’re not helping them, you’re not helping them."
Are you going to pretend to know what she has said at work?
One day old account intentionally misleading in its responses. 🤔 🤔 🤔
Lemmy is leaking. lmao
ps: Hamas should free the hostages, stop hiding behind innocent people and accept the ceasefire deal.
they were harassing her, these protests are nothing but an pro-islamist mob they need to be locked up
Agree with their protest or not, you can't "lock them up" for this. The video clearly shows a peaceful protest with no violence involved. Locking them up would violate their free speech rights.
harrasment is a crime
