Congressional staff say the mood inside the Capitol is tense, stifling and bewildering as members brush off their constituents’ outrage.

      Thats how israel was created. Israel did that within living memory. That was how that nation came to be.

      I dont think being homophobic is overly relevant, tho, no? Being homophobic is not a reason to murder people.

              Idea:

              Let’s give the Native Americans Israel and Palestine as reparations for being massacred and displaced from their homes by a different fascist imperialist state.

              We’ll call it a three-state solution, and we’ll back the Native American’s with military support so that they can establish themselves in their new home, by force if necessary, in case the current inhabitants happen to not like the idea of being occupied by the newcomers.

              And when it goes to shit, we’ll say ‘both sides are to blame’ but conveniently abdicate our own responsibility for creating the situation in the first place.

              Crazy that nobody else has thought of this.

      Your homophobia aside, that’s exactly what the Israelis are doing. Also, strictly speaking, the conquering and elimination of a national government isn’t genocide. That requires the people to be murdered for being of that national origin. If they aren’t being murdered, there’s no genocide.

          I’m a Mexican-American atheist man who has sucked more dicks in my life than most women have. I live a couple miles from the bridge I slept under in the wintertime as a homeless kid because the Gospel Mission didn’t “take my kind”. I spent my days collecting enough bottles so I could buy a meal every day for my sister and I so we didn’t starve, because one day our mother decided she didn’t want to take care of us anymore and just left. So don’t you fucking dare strut around talking about how only you know what suffering is, you Zionist, genocidal, Muslim-hating, self-righteous piece of shit. You didn’t suffer through any shit countless other people have. The difference between you and I is that I didn’t let it turn me into a fucking shit stain of a human being.
