I’ll just deal with two terms - apartheid and zionism.

If being anti-Israel, and loudly so, is a prerequisite for being a True Progressive (ugh), then so should being loudly anti-Islamic theocracies. They’re the only theocracies left (well, except for the square mile that is the Vatican), and tens of millions of women suffer greatly under them. It’s a far greater problem,…

I honestly have never considered a future where Israeli Jews become minorities. Because as far as I believe, Israel should not be a closed border country at all.

Sheesh, you sure are disingenuous.

It’s like this AT THE MOMENT. It doesn’t need to stay that way. And there are many in and out of Israel who want it to change, because Zionism doesn’t mean that it can’t or shouldn’t.

Spare me your bullshit reductionist crap.

Because it is not an objective proof that Rasmeah Odeh’s confession was coerced. That is what Odeh claims. It may be true; it may not be true. But what Sarsour and Gupta leave out of their summary is that Rasmeah Odeh was convicted in a court that was monitored by the Red Cross and there was physical evidence (bomb…

I think aside from the hard right-wingers, Israel would be fine with just the first two as long as the other sovereign states would stop trying to exterminate them.

Well, I don’t know Emily Shire and I’m also sick of Jezebel demonising her as well while holding Sarsour up as some kind of martyred saint, so maybe stop trying to dismiss someone’s opinion based on her knowing the person in question. I don’t think Sarsour is a terrorist the way the far right try to portray her but I…

yikes, tweeted on international women’s day too...

Did she ever apologize for that tweet or just delete it? What an unbelievably awful thing to say.

The tweet in question. Whatever you feel about Ayaan, her anger and her activism comes from a place of genuine suffering. And given the fact that she DID suffer from FGM, saying “she doesn’t deserve to be a woman” is gross and indefensible. Because it’s something that someone almost literally tried to inflict upon…

Slightly OT, but Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s labelling by the SPLC was heartbreaking for me. Anyone familiar with her story would see that her stances on Islam are informed primarily by her incredibly traumatic childhood and young adulthood. The Netherlands and US have failed her badly as refuges, and now she is being used like…

If that is true this is the worse Nazi regime ever. Not killing millions of people, not murdering political opponents, not killing people who actively disagree with them, forcing profit sharing in all large industry, not disarming all their citizens, not removing media figures or killing them outright, the list is…

That makes sense. The public school teachers I know or are related to here in PA are all part of the PSEA union. I’ve heard similar stories of layabouts and bad teachers staying for years due to seniority. It’s much the same of the unions I’ve worked with in 19 years of various manufacturing. Most work their asses…

Since my questions became collateral damage, I’ll respond to your OP:

Disclaimer: I’m obviously not blaming Kathy Griffin for this.

I can say with 99% certainty, just based on your one comment, that you have used the All Lives Matter hashtag before.

That’s your take on this?

I don’t water my lawn and we are in it every day. So. There.
