I’m questioning your motivation in doing so. Its like complaining when a bee stings you before you crush it, it just doesn’t make sense as to why you would be so fixated on it

The Anti-Corbyn smear campaign was intense, and even state side there are attempts at accusing Progressives like Sanders and Cortez of Anti-Semitism sprinkled through the occasional Op-Eds

Never met an anti-Corbynite that wasn’t also anti-Sanders and Cortez, you’re a unicorn.

Lol, ease up on the white bourgeois Western thing, fellow white guy

It is when you’re talking about a target of aggression’s response to aggression. Its the kind of nuance that halts the conversation, it doesn’t enrich it in anyway by pointing out “killing is bad”

“There has been a lot of credible reporting and investigations from private organizations that confirm Castro’s decades of human rights violations.”

Then your understanding of history is overly simplified

“than folks shrieking about how the only way to deal with Die Juden’s money controlling the media and the governments to let them feast on children is to boycott their businesses and break their windows”

“The populist left on this side of the pond doesn’t know how to dogwhistle, so they just replace “Jew” with “Zionist” in old anti-Semitic tropes.”

“The rightward Israeli shift can be directly tied to the half-decade of suicide bombings at the turn of the 21st century making it political poison to adopt anything but a “Tough on Hamas” stance.”

Then I don’t understand the point of your rhetoric

His treatment of political dissidents was nothing compared to his predecessors, and his treatment of the LGBTQ Cuban community improved significantly over time. You’re willfully accepting the State Dept’s narrative when you call him a dictator, from the beginning of his revolution, when he kicked out the mob and the…

I’ve barely seen ANY anti-Semitic bullshit that justifies the media narrative. It’s almost like the Israel lobby has spent billions each year trying to tie together criticism of Zionism itself with anti-Semitism, thereby cheapening actual anti-Semitism and allowing even the expression of Palestinian solidarity to be…

“Hamas’s power base is in a place from which Israel voluntarily withdrew, haha.”

But can you say that one side has a bigger impact on the other, that one side is ultimately the driver of the conflict? Or do you think Hamas would still send the rockets if Israel were to suddenly stop their settler expansion and ethnic cleansing?

“I can condemn the US for invasions and sanctions and condemn Cuba for their numerous human rights violations.”

The problem is that the Israel lobby has done their utmost to equate the two. They very nearly succeeded equating anti-Zionism to anti-Semitism, that’s official US policy at this point, regardless of whether its a Rep or Dem in the White House.

This is the weirdest kind of centrist argument, like what does approaching this situation from the middle actually accomplish? And how does one go about conceptualizing a “middle” in this whole thing? Where is the middle in a war between a military state with billions of $ in defense spending and more from US support…

I wonder if Israel realized that when it decided to fund and promote them to counteract Fatah and the PLO?

So you wouldn’t even denounce American interventionism in foreign countries? Like is recruiting and training radicalized exiles to invade a country and then enacting devastating sanctions against it when that fails too “morally grey” to condemn?
