If these liberal content creators really wanted to even the stakes by building a liberal media ecosystem competitive to the right, they should be completely transparent about their funding instead of accepting "dark money" like the right.

The current Israeli government is a terrorist organization that has committed countless atrocities, does that mean Israelis deserve to be slaughtered en masse for having Netanyahu, war criminal, as their PM?

I just think ending the mass slaughter, starvation, and the subsidized brutality of Palestinians by the US government and perpetrated by the government of Israel, IOF, is a more pressing issue than anyone's particular feelings at this point.

You can look at Gaza and see its utter devastation, you can't hide it and the numbers back up what we see with our own eyes. You can't hide it anymore. Only people that still believe you are willfully ignorant or in Israels pocket. Do YOU work for Israel? Or a Zionist organization?

I guess civilians, you know, women, children, and babies just "get in the way." Its not like they are considered "future terrorists" or anything... seems either intentional or IOF is really bad at their jobs.

Israeli settlers commit atrocities, Israeli prison guards rape Palestinians, and we even had an Israeli caught red handed trying to rape an American child even though he was subsequently detained for was brief period he was released and sent back to Israel. These are just a few examples.
[Ghost]π (@gwestw.bsky.social) reply parent
Israel, as a state and as a government, is committing atrocities. Im sorry you feel offended by me stating facts.
[Ghost]π (@gwestw.bsky.social) reply parent
However true that may be, you have to understand what Israel is doing is fomenting hatred by their actions, and some people may direct their anger in wrong ways. Antisemitism is a problem sure, but anti-zionism isnt the same thing. If anyone is perpetuating Antisemitism at this moment, it's Israel.

Also, for context, AIPAC is also friendly with Republicans like Mike Johnson, among others, and gave Trump over $230 million. Of course, they dont want anyone to endorse Mamdani...

It could be construed as a form of socialism but not this. This is clearly extortion. The public gets no say or value from such an agreement. Besides, it gives well-intentioned socialism a bad name.

Trump openly admitted he's working on "saving lives" in Russia/Ukraine war to "save" himself. "I'm at the bottom of the totem pole to get into heaven," which is him saying that he actually believes he is going hell when he dies. I say good, I hope he rots in a prison of his own making.
