How the hell is the fucking Vatican doing better on this than a large amount of western left?

    He should threaten to excommunicate the IDF, then they won't be able to get holy communion

    What do you mean? Basically the entire western left is united on this issue. What kind of fringe ass leftists aren't pro-Palestine?

      uh like an insane amount where I am, many are the 'concerned about anti-semitism'

      I wish I could see the unity you speak of. Although it really just allows for a neat purge of the bad apples.

        Yeah about 1/3 of my local coalition can't help but use "both sides" rhetoric. Some of them literally hand-wrung about alienating suburban women if we didn't denounce Hamas. Luckily she lost lol.

          luckily we've managed to be mostly free of the liberalism, other orgs in our coalition tho not so good. Honestly it does wonders for the ideological integrity of a Party when its made up of and headed by members of marginalized communities. Who'da thunk?

              As a cracker, I wish I could disagree.

              It is refreshing to know who in my friend group would have been supporting Virginia's right to defend itself against Nat Turner or "both sides"-ing the trail of tears. Gonna be sending a lot fewer Christmas Cards this year.

            If they're in an org this would be an acceptable time to do some sectarianism. Drag those fake leftists, I say.

                Time for the ol' "here's what's up and here's your chance to get on board" and then the grace up!

                Better fewer, but better, some might say.
