  • Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are not the ones bombing Gaza

    You’re so close to self realization. Neither are the Arabs living in Amsterdam part of Hamas. Yet that didn’t stop these Israelis from burning flags, taunting people, saying horrible things like “Fuck Arabs” and causing trouble in the Netherlands of all places.

    Israeli people spewed venom, burnt palestinian flags and taunted amsterdam residents. You’re saying that retaliating is antisemitic. I say that’s bullshit.

    Remember how in post-9/11 America violence against Arabs residents and businesses skyrocketed, despite their only connection being country of origin, ethnicity, or religion? That’s what Jews around the world are experiencing because of Gaza - because of people like you.

    You seem to be manufacturing the racism by twisting what I said. I only said those who choose violence shouldn’t be surprised people are retaliating with violence. It’s not my problem that you incorrectly think people are retaliating because of your origin instead of your behavior.

    The behavior of the Maccaba Tel Aviv fans had consequences. Now Israel and the general media is trying to avoid talking about the behavior that started all this and deliberately focusing on the retaliation as if it happened because of the identities of the people.





  • You can’t even read. Don’t pretend you know what it takes to win elections.

    This is apparently a strange universe because I condemned democrats for trying to please everybody. Here is a person who thinks I said “You should have pleased everybody”. Like go read what I said. I specifically said to be the party that doesn’t try to please AIPAC, Republican Voters, Get endorsed by Dick Cheney. Focus on the progressive policy platform and promise to change the economy for the better. Don’t say “GDP numbers are high, You’re all doing fine!” To your constituents whose lives have had no effect by the GDP numbers.

    Also are you aware how republican voting works? Maybe you should take some lessons and at the bare minimum lie and tell your constituents what they want to hear. Democrats could not even manage to do that this time around.


  • The victim mentality is just in your head. Others just see an asshole who is burning down your flag and abusing you with death threats.

    You pretend as if your nationality is visible to people like a banner… but it’s not. It’s just your behavior.

    When you behave like an asshole and indulge in violence and spew hatred you expect people to respect your origin?

    Edit:

    Also: you should look at yourself in the mirror. These so called football fans were saying “Fuck Arabs”. You’re a hypocrite if you think this is ok, but then shomehow think Jews are targeted for being jews but not the threatening of Arabs and burning of flags.


  • Oh the audacity and arrogance!

    Let me tell you as straight (Ha!) as possible: Its your job to win over those voters. The consequences of not doing so is losing the election. Don’t bend over to israel, don’t get endorsements from Dick Fucking Cheney, Don’t snub the Arab voting population, Don’t try to win over republican.

    It wasn’t a fucking surprise that sprang up after halloween. People have been shouting at you to have spine and distance yourself from Israel. What was the play here? You were trying to appease AIPAC? Guess what? AIPAC gets what they want by you losing.

    Blaming your constituents for losing is a loser attitude. Me being a single-issue voter has nothing to do with you doing the bare minimum to get your constituents to vote for you.

    Don’t ask me to be something when you can’t even properly represent your constituents? Talking back to your constituents like they are children is sure fire way to lose elections.









  • I appreciate you not escalating in response to my snarky comment with more snark or sarcasm.

    On the subject: I agree that the system needs to motivate certain behaviors and disincentives others. But from the current point onwards in our cursed reality… I see no way this transition to such a system does not involve a violent revolution/uprising. I don’t see how we can even maintain such a system in the future without threat of violence towards those that put profits before everything else. I believe this because it took violence to take back 40 hour work weeks and paid vacations. Those seem trivial compared to a system overhaul from the current starting point.
