        I can hear it in his voice "anti Italian discrimination!"

        I kinda want that piece of shit corrupt senator (but which one! Laugh track ) Bob Mendez to speak more about his alleged Cuban-American discrimination so it can also become a meme. But Americans are legitimately stupid enough to probably not see that a white guy like ol' Bob complaining about discrimination is the same as Sil complaining about it after the year like... 1930 lmao. I mean when was the last time Italians were seriously treated as not-white by the Anglos (in America). The Spanish and their descendants in Cuba (talking about the white ones like Bob, not darker skinned Afro Cubans and indigenous) were probably brought into the "whites club" before the Italians, but I'm too lazy to google it honestly. Fuck Bob though. Dude literally lied about the only thing white Cubans might have a grievance against. That being Castro taking their family's (stolen) land and (stolen) wealth and bringing rights to workers which were literally slaves not long before and essentially still were slaves when Castro came. But Bob can't even say "but he took my family's slaves!" Because his family left before Castro came in. Lying sack of shit. Dragging a dead hero's name through the same mud for 60 years after Bob's dumb ass got caught doing the most obvious crimes in history. So obvious even the FBI was forced to indict a US senator.

          i think that's got to do with them being rich, cuban emigres and the rancheros of northern mexico after guadalupe hidalgo had very little trouble adjusting to yankee society, but the discriminated-against whites all came in waves of overwhelmingly poor migrants from europe. if a couple million dirt-poor spanish peasants had ever shown up in boston it'd be a different story, but most spanish immigration obviously went to latin america instead

      If Hamas had Chinese missiles and drones instead of homemade fireworks made out of plumbing parts and fertilizer this fight would be playing out very differently

      President Xi, send the missiles (but not like we usually mean)

        Is there even a fight anymore, or is it just back to wholesale slaughter of one side by the other?

          Mostly slaughter. My understanding is that Hamas is largely waiting in the tunnels for the IDF to come inside the fence. I did see something about them making an attack on a base outside Gaza by sea with mortar support though.

      the "welcome to the fields of hell" hamas video showed several Chinese assault rifles in the tunnels

    Hamas, famously spending money on high-tech bombing campaigns. Israel just watches silently as masses of drones and high-tech missiles get imported into the open-air prison.

    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

    By the same metric every war in the world is China's problem because they manufacture most of the shit required to live on this blasted planet (and indeed, do bad stuff with). I just read an article about how the Ukrainian military just can't have enough of Xi's murder drones. Do they know they're actually supporting Hamas? Should someone tell them? Anyway, US bombs blowing up yemeni school buses is not the US's fault sweaty, learn some realpolitik.
