This guy just walked into the capitol of the United States and criticized the American people for exercising their first amendment right. The audacity.

And yet again we have congress members clapping like trained seals to debunked Israel propaganda and the characterization of anti-war protesters being in favor of the killing of civilians.

"My friends, defeating our brutal enemies requires courage and clarity. Clarity begins by knowing the difference between good an evil. Yet, incredibly, many anti-Israel protesters choose to stand with evil. They stand with Hamas. They stand with rapists and murderers. They stand with people who came into the kibbutzim -- into a home -- the parents hid the children, the two babies, in a secret attic. They murdered the families -- the parents. They found the secret attic and then they murdered the babies. These protesters stand with them; they should be ashamed of themselves."

*Thunderous applause, standing ovation

This is 2003 Iraq War levels of state-approved disinformation. I feel nauseated.

It's must be like one long nightmare for Palestinians. It's akin to the Great Tribulation, and the politicians who claim to believe in such things are way too happy supporting Israel. I cannot imagine the US standing much longer, not after this and everything else this country has done to the world. It has to end.

Oh honey, the USA has been committing genocide for hundreds of years. This visit is a return to form, not some sudden heel turn.

  • a near-total genocide of Native American populations
  • a near-total genocide of the Native Hawaiian people (90% population loss following colonization)
  • eugenics programs that inspired Hitler (literally not even a joke. This is history.)
  • using black folks for medical experimentation without their consent (Tuskegee, etc)
  • creating terrorists out of American citizens using the CIA
  • constant ongoing state sponsored violence against minorities and the disabled
  • 6 million excess deaths caused by the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan
  • millions of deaths in Cuba directly caused by American economic terrorism
  • egregious human rights abuses. Read up on how Uyghurs in Xinjiang are treated. Really weird how when it happens to American working-class citizens, it’s suddenly not a human rights abuse anymore.

I was told here that voting blue would fix it all. Republicans brought this monster in, will the victorious DNC do anything about it after November besides… hold their applause?

I think we all know the answer. History will remember them as collaborators.

You're right, and it's horrifying that it continues. I guess I was just voicing a wish that it would end soon.

I also don't trust either party to fix any of these things. It's a sly game their playing, and sadly it's still working -_-
