I'm not so sure about that

Ken Martin, the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needs to stand up for the Jewish community and for Israel.

“It is so important right now for our party to stand up with the Jewish community, to continue to stand up for Israel, to continue to stand up for humanity and to not forget who we are as Americans,” Martin said in remarks to a Jewish Democratic Council of America conference in Washington, calling the Jewish community “really, really an important part of our coalition.”

Ken will be an excellent leader for our Party and will help Democrats achieve victories across the country.”

Genocide Don at it again

Would you find supplying Nazi Germany defensive weapons during the Holocaust to be acceptable?

Of course not, because those defensive weapons are still used to embolden their genocidal actions

Israel is just a new face on conflict that is ancient.

No, that's a bullshit and an insidious myth used to justify and normalize the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

The Birth of Israel Myths and Realities - Simha Flapan

The Zionists not only sought to colonize Palestine but, as Pappe shows, “…it also hoped to secularize the Jewish people, to invent the ‘new Jew’ in antithesis to the religious Orthodox Jews of Europe… The Orthodox Jew was ridiculed by the Zionists, and was viewed as someone who could only be redeemed through hard work in Palestine… The role of the Bible within Jewish life offered one further clear difference between Judaism and Zionism… the Bible provided ‘the myth for our right over the land.’ It was in the Bible that they read stories about Hebrew farmers, shepherds, kings, and wars, which they appropriated as describing the ancient golden era of their nation’s birth. Returning to the land meant coming back to become farmers , shepherds and kings. Thus, they found themselves faced with a challenging paradox, for they wanted both to secularize Jewish life and to use the Bible as a publication for colonizing Palestine. In other words, though they did not believe in God, He had nonetheless promised them Palestine.”

In reality, Pappe believes, “…the takeover of the West Bank in particular, with its ancient biblical sights, was a Zionist aim even before 1948 and it fitted the logic of the Zionist project as a whole. This logic can be summarized as the wish to take over as much of Palestine as possible with as few Palestinians as possible… After the occupation, the new ruler confined the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in an impossible limbo: they were neither refugees nor citizens—they were, and still are, citizenless inhabitants. They were inmates, and in many respects still are, of a huge prison in which they have no civil, and human rights and no impact on their future. The world tolerates this situation because Israel claims —and the claim was never challenged until recently—that the situation is temporary…Israel is still incarcerating a third generation of Palestinians…and depicting these mega-prisons as temporary…”

Destabilizing Iran has been a major part of the US vision to reshape the middle east in it's own favor, in order to retain hegemonic control and move the theater to China

It's also been Israel's goal since the 1990s, and Israel is an fundamental to US foreign policy in the region

Moka Pots are so good, best way to make coffee/expresso at home imo

I've been adding different spices to the grounds and it works phenomenally.

Cardamom + Cinnamon makes a great spiced moka

Adding Honeybush gives it a sweeter taste without adding any sugar

Quite easy to make a mocha moka too

You might find this interesting as it goes into the hypocrisy of the situation.

You'll probably be better off asking this sort of question in one of the Palestine comms, where you have a more nuanced discussion about how Hezbollah was created, their militant actions against Zionism, part of the Lebanese Parliament, and what the flag can mean to different groups; instead of the thought terminating cliché of 'they are considered a terrorist organization by the government and therefore any support of them in supporting terrorism.' Despite the unconditional support these governments have for Israel, who by any definition of terrorism has done far far more magnitudes of such than any resistance organization created as a by product of the violent settler colonialism of Zionism. Plus, western governments have historically brandished any resistance against colonialism as terrorists, including the IRA, Vietcong, FLN, ANC (Nelson Mandala), and many more.

Hezbollah's actions in Syria are definitely unacceptable, their actions against Israel is another matter entirely

GDF has a great video on how the Israeli invasion and civil war led to the creation of Hezbollah as a militant resistance

National liberation, national renaissance, the restoration of nationhood to the people, commonwealth: whatever may be the headings used or the new formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.

I wish I could like DIS, but every season I've been disappointed in the plot points and character writing. It could've been so good

I recommend just listening to him yourself and making up your own mind instead of whatever bullshit that dude is saying

This is the best solution.

Zionism is a fascist ideology. There is nothing to gain from hosting in a country where people feel compelled to suppress opposition to and liberation against that fascist ideology out of fear of incarceration and police brutality
