I don't get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They're not being mature or practical - they're accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.
Trump and his supporters aren't better, but at least he's telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.
I dunno, at least there's a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he's done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it's just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.
And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It's like they want to lose, because all I'm hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it's like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.
It's just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.

Where do you libs come from? AOC supported the fucking coup in Bolivia of course she supports Israel and condemns Hamas.

Omar, Tlaib, all of them repeat anti-Russia propaganda and push for more funding for Ukraine. They are all warmonger class traitors

Except for every successful revolution. The October Revolution, Chinese Revolution, Cuban Revolutuon, Vietnam as examples.
That's not reasonable to us here because we're communists. Condemning Hamas is wrong. I'm not suprised the Squad has taken that position because they're a bunch of libs

Centrism is support of the status quo. Nominally opposing Israel and Hamas is opposing change to the current trajectory and nothing better. Hamas represents the most viable current expression of the political will of Palestinians, hence its broad support by them, so any reasonable anti-imperialist will support them until such a time comes as they are no longer the most viable or they no longer have a war that it is productive for them to fight (i.e. once Palestine is freed from river to sea).
I don't care about the Squad. I don't support them or any US politician and no one else here does either. So its not a question of me thinking what they are doing is enough or not.
Leaving them out of it. We support the Palestinian struggle. We supported it when the PLO was the main force, and we support it now that Hamas is. The violence of the oppressed can never be equated to the violence of the opressor. Condemning Hamas is against the Palestinian struggle
Yes.
Yes
Hamas are the only people fighting Israel (in addition to Hezbollah, Yemen, Iraqi resistance, Syria and Iran). These are the only people doing anything about the genocide, yes you have to support them if you don’t support genocide. Literally everyone else on earth is standing by watching doing nothing
aren't they in alliance with local communist and anarchist groups who supported the 7/10 attacks and continue to fight? not taking away from your point - just adding to the groups of involved resistance fighters.
Yes I should have said the axis of resistance are the ones fighting (which includes other Palestinian groups in addition to Hamas)
What options did they have other than armed resistance, they already tried peaceful protest and got their kneecaps obliterated by snipers
The IOF killed most of those people on Oct 7 but don't let the facts get in the way of propaganda blaming the victims

I could condemn slavery and oppose all violent resistance against it. My condemnation would not be worth two grains of salt.
Who cares about the Squad. The Squad are a bunch of useless libs
You are using Palestine's resistance of occupation and ethnic cleansing to justify their occupation and ethnic cleansing.
Nothing Hamas or anyone does can change the fact that they are justified in resisting Israel's occupation and ethnic cleansing.

Why would you bring up the number of dead settlers/soldiers on Oct 7 if not to justify The Squad's opposition to Hamas?
deleted by creator
You're equating the violence of the oppressed with the violence of the oppressor, which is not equivalent. Opposing Isreal and Hamas is just supporting the status quo, which is genocide

Look, I hate the American Revolutionary War as much as the next guy, but I don't think this is an accurate characterization
Oh, sorry, you were probably thinking of something more like the Haitian Revolution. I wonder what the differences is
Haaretz: “According to [comments by Tuval Escapa, the kibbutz’s security coordinator], only on Monday night and only after the commanders in the field made difficult decisions—including shelling houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists without knowing whether the Israelis in those buildings were alive or dead—the IDF completed the takeover of the kibbutz.”
An air force colonel said that Israeli airstrikes may have intentionally killed Israeli captives rather than let them be taken to Gaza. Speaking in Hebrew about the airstrikes, Colonel Nof Erez told a Haaretz podcast in November that “the Hannibal Directive was apparently applied” and that 7 October “was a mass Hannibal.”
Ynet (Israeli government affiliated): Israel fired from helicopters into crowd of festival goers indiscriminately (blamed on “Hamas deception”)
Regardless, let’s look at the nonviolent approach. Have you heard of the Great Match of Return? Palestinians would be condemned to a slow death if they did not resist. Take your liberal condemnation of violence and shove it.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Biden doesn't have to bypass Congress to get Israel aid. Who would vote against it? The evangelical cultists of the republican party would do anything to bring about their apocalyptic vision of the second coming and no democrat would vote against it. They're bypassing congress so they don't have to inform the world what they're sending to arm the genocide machine.

I didn't say "inform the world that they're sending," I said "inform the world what they're sending." Bypassing congress with the national security bullshit means they don't have to say, "Yeah, we're giving them white phosphorous and cluster bombs to commit war crimes."
Damn, sucks that they couldn't get around to shooting you too! Maybe next time
this is in dispute, with Hebrew language outlets reporting based on survivor accounts that it was the indiscriminate attacks by the IDF that led to so many deaths.

their sources are all clearly laid out. they're an anti-imperialist, leftist magazine but that means they have to be heavily cited because they're opposing the state department narrative and don't get the benefit of the doubt. I think in time you'll find in time that their reporting is generally pretty accurate.
