Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.

The antisemites will be our allies
-Theodor Herzl (paraphrased because I can’t be assed to get the original quote).
No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt.
They always have been; it just took a livestreamed genocide for Westerners to get the point.


(This is a song about not taking drugs, but it’s framed as a drug bragging about being really bad).


Oh shit you’re right. I guess technically the CCP does have anti-air capabilities while China the country does not. This also means the PLA is the world’s largest leftwing militia.


Okay this is a cope. It’s an All Lives Matter-style fig leaf that pretends people can’t condemn two things at once.


Why disappointment? Jeffries is an American capital plant; this is very consistent with his track record.


The CCP, being a political party, does not in fact have anti-air capabilities. The country they run, China, has anti-air capabilities.


Sure that’s a fair point, but then we’d expect other polls to produce similar results. It’s not like we have to take their word for it.


“The entire political spectrum” doesn’t mean “every single person ever,” or even “every single politician ever.” The implication is only that the statement applies to all political segments of the population. If the left, right and center (and any other significant political blocs) mostly agree on something, then the whole political spectrum supports it, even if some people don’t.


Echoing basically all other replies: Israel doesn’t actually have the juice to get their lebensraum alone; they need all sorts of American and European support for it. Cutting off their support would immediately destroy their position as regional near-hegemon and force them to compromise.


The poll they cite only polled 500 people
Which is more than enough. Statistically, you only need 30 or so samples to get a normal distribution, at which case the error varies with 1/sqrt(n) for sample size n. This means that if a sample size of 8000 would only have 4 times less error (so from 4% to 2%) compared to one of 500. The mathematics of the thing is ironclad: Provided the sample is representative (i.e. doesn’t unfairly over or underrepresent a particular group) and exceeds the mid-double digits*, any issues with sample size would manifest as a large calculated error.


There’s literally Israeli Kinesset members that oppose the genocide in Gaza and the war with Iran.
How many?


K? Are we supposed to look up to previous US presidents as authorities on international law?


Israel is doing that too, but also America has a lot more domestic opposition to its leadership’s naked imperialism than Israel. This opposition rarely translates to action making it more or less worthless, but still, Americans do better on the “do you not like naked imperialism” index than Israeli Jews.


Read closer, they’re criticizing Netanyahu for not being pro-war enough. Not all of them are infected, but Israel is a lot worse than even America in this regard.


I can’t find anything about her calling herself a socialist, but she’s definitely to the left of most European politicians. Of course she’s working from a less development and more rightwing starting point so her policies seem like common sense to Europeans, but equating her with folks like the SPD based on that would be wrong. You don’t really get this kind of anti-neoliberal, overt social democracy from mainstream European parties anymore.


Even the Nazis weren’t “a whole nation of genocidal maniacs.” In both Israel and Nazi Germany there is/was opposition to the atrocities committed by their leadership, just not enough. In Israel in particular “do you support comically evil thing” polls tend to get 60-80% support, except the Iran war which at its outset had 93% support. That’s not a whole nation of genocidal maniacs; that’s a nation of mostly genocidal maniacs.


They should do it with oil to keep the metaphor.
and lack of redeeming qualities
Counterpoint: When one is running a comically evil global empire, incompetence becomes a redeeming quality.


But why do you want it all without normal processes?
You’re missing the point. Plenty of Americans do have ancestry that allows them to claim citizenship (and therefore easily immigrate) somewhere or another, so the first thing an American trying to immigrate will be told is to check for that. Making it clear they can’t do that is important so they can get advice they can actually use.
The course of Israeli history was essentially unaffected by Holocaust survivors, so his only mistake relevant here was not dying sooner.
