2+2=5, we’ve always been at war with Eurasia, the fascist beatings will continue until morale improves. Etc. We know this song and dance and it’s not working and they’re increasingly desperate. They’re emptying the cupboard trying every dirty trick they can. Outside agitators! Invoking the Holocaust! Antisemitism is at an all time high! …
2+2=5, we’ve always been at war with Eurasia, the fascist beatings will continue until morale improves. Etc. We know this song and dance and it’s not working and they’re increasingly desperate. They’re emptying the cupboard trying every dirty trick they can. Outside agitators! Invoking the Holocaust! Antisemitism is at an all time high! Israel is the middle east’s only democracy! But what about the hostages?!? Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears those ‘clashes’ were actually both sides fighting and not state-permitted violence by one side! And on and on and on. Hence why you have disgusting screeds like the type covered here, because it’s all they have left. To crib a legal aphorism, they can’t bang on the law, they can’t bang on the facts, so all that’s left to do is to bang on the table because they’ve got nothing left.
The antisemitism part is what enrages me the most though. It’s true, this Jew has never felt less safe in this country. But not because of anything the Palestinian protesters are doing (because they’re right and courageous and brave and so obviously on the right side of history) but because of the bloodthirsty and psychotic zionists and their cronies and bad faith allies who are all gleefully utilizing the brutal mechanisms of the police state in an effort to quash those who voice dissent. That the zionists don’t understand that those same tools will one day be used against them (or ‘us’ meaning Jews writ large) when the inevitable backlash comes around is terrifying.
Well said friend, yes it is terrifying. The ongoing destruction of Gazza demonstrates how the coming wars will be, like the old wars on steroids with a side helping of genocidal intent.
Take your pick amongst boomers, libs, centrists who stan Joe Biden, zionists, anyone really who is trying to in any way cast doubt on the validity and rightness of the Palestinian protesters. But given the subject of this blog and the fact they ran the same playbook post 9/11 for the invasion of Iraq and before that during the civil rights era, the “they” I’m primarily referring to is the ‘liberal’ media like CNN, NYT, etc.
I'm a "boomer," you ignoramus. Watch your mouth. I spent years as an activist for the Palestinians, even living in the middle east.
The US government, and its news media, always defends its position of defending the powerful. There is no such thing as a "liberal" news media because it almost always leans to the right.
Congrats on being part of the most destructive generation in modern history. When you’ve all shuffled off this mortal coil the rest of us will be left picking up the pieces on the broken cinder of a planet we inherited thanks to your generation’s unheralded greed and avarice.

Who, exactly, is "they"?

I have no problem being a baby boomer.
Wow, you're an immature idiot. Who knew?
Blocked. You're bonkers, and an illiterate antisemite.
