Foreign policy is, for the most part, uniparty in the US

I look to see if the product in on the BDS list. The No Thanks app makes it as easy as a search or barcode scan

It’s already shown to be an ineffective way to slander him, the more they harp on this the more it’ll backfire imo

Destabilizing Iran has been a major part of the US vision to reshape the middle east in it’s own favor, in order to retain hegemonic control and move the theater to China

It’s also been Israel’s goal since the 1990s, and Israel is an fundamental to US foreign policy in the region

Maybe kimchi? That sounds pretty fire as a topping for orange chicken tacos

That’s addressed in detail in the 3rd and 4th link

No, when asked about specific policies the majority of people still support progressive policies. How the poll questions are worded are incredibly important to how people respond

Not to mention the morality side of it

There are others, but I’d say these are the top in terms of credibility, investigative journalism, and reliability

That said, it’s still best practice to cross verify reporting

Edit: adding Counter Punch

I don’t think it’ll ever happen though, for the same reason that we’ll never see legalized abortion in this country

We need a party that serves the working class before a lot of these issues are able to gain traction. Unfortunately the vast majority of politicians are captured by corporate interests, and our system is designed to reward such.

There is an argument to be made for immigration disrupting the culture of border cities

I don’t think there is a good argument to be made for that honesty, the vast majority of people who think of immigrants as ‘disrupting culture’ seem to simply dislike diversity when you try to dig down at what exactly is being disrupted. I honestly think that’s more of an education issue. Where the expansion of public education, including college, would help the most. Especially with the legalization aspect you mentioned. Legalized immigrants would have their educational opportunities far improved, and it would also improve integration. Ultimately, integration is a generational thing, but public education can definitely improve it for everyone

Because there isn’t any legitimate reason to turn away people seeking asylum or looking to immigrate. The issue with the process we have how intentionally slow and throttled it is. We can easily speed up the legalization process. Illegal immigration happens either from desperation or, most commonly, overstayed visas. Instead of treating this as a criminal act, we can simply have them begin the legalization process while staying in the country.

Even from an economic perspective immigrants are a benefit. However our intentional two-tier labor system is utilized by companies to hyperexploit illegal immigrants by threat of deportation. Legalization is critical to also institute labor protections. Along with unionization, this would also benefit American workers in those same industries with increased pay and benefits. Companies like to use the two-tier labor system to also justify lowering wages for the legal workers.

True, I fucking wish they went with an open border policy

It was also a terrible bill that capitulated to right-wing framing on immigration.

More Americans support Mass Legalization of immigrants over Mass Deportation, despite the lack of rhetoric on that from the Democratic party.

Oh, so genocide is ‘self defense.’ No, fuck off with that Zionist bullshit

They are a legitimate resistance regardless of whether they meet your own imagined standard of what legitimate resistance is. Hamas is not being ‘used’ by Israel, for the same reasons the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising wasn’t ‘used’ by Nazi Germany. Read Franz Fanon if you want to understand the reality of anti-colonial resistance. All you’re doing is carrying water for Zionism, whether you recognize that or not.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Listen to the podcast if you want to understand why blockback happens

Frankly both Hamas and the Isreali government are complicit in the genocide

Oh so you are assigning blame for this genocide to Hamas. Insane. You’re saying Hamas’ actions justify or are responsible for Israel’s response of literal genocide. No, nothing justifies genocide. You can’t expect a civilian population subjected to the unfathomable daily violence of settler colonialist apartheid to not fight back. Fuck off with that shitty hasbara. This is as ridiculous as both-sides-ing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

You are led to believe that if one side is evil the other must by default be good

If an ethnosupremacist Apartheid state that has continued to live-stream genocide for well over a year is evil, yeah, resistance against that apartheid and genocide is good. In fact, it’s just and moral.

You already have the position that Israel’s response is expected due to the actions of Hamas. If an apartheid state’s inevitable response to resistance against that apartheid is genocide, then yes, that state deserves to be dissolved and the occupied, and especially victims of a genocide, have a right to resist and armed struggle.

In this case I only see a master and a puppet

No, again that is the Palestinian Authority (PA), which is a case of Counter Insurgency (COIN).

The october 7 attacks were exactly what and when Netanyahu wanted.

Because he a fucking genocidal Zionist who knows western counties, in particular the US, will give them unlimited material support, international support, and propaganda support for Israel’s genocide. Became Zionism is not about the security of Jewish people or even of Israeli’s. It’s about the extermination of Palestinians, Palestine, and even beyond with Greater Israel.

Hamas was groomed by Israel to shape as many Palestinians as possible into the kind of people that other nations fear and contributed with their own senseless violence to radicalize the survivors against them.

Wtf? This take is fucking ridiculous. Islamphobia in the west is not the fault of Palestinians, nor Arabs or Muslims in general. Islamphobia is deliberate to justify the unfathomable amount of violence they have subjected the population of the Middle East to. It is state policy and used to dehumanize the victims of Western Chauvinism.

What makes Palestinians the ‘kind of people that other nations fear,’ exactly? Because by any metric of violence Israel has been far worse both before and after any violent act of resistance by Palestinians. Nor have Palestinians been the one preventing a peace resolution.

‘their own senseless violence to radicalize the survivors against them.’ You mean the survivors of terrorist attacks against Israel? The party responsible for this violent occupation in the first place? Without which these terrorist attacks wouldn’t have happened in the first place? The sense is resistance. Unlike for Zionism, who’s many magnitudes more terrorism they subject the Palestinian population to, the sense is to ethnically cleanse the inferior natives.

Israel managed to paralyze the international community into inaction with telling them they are antisemites if they condemn their crimes

No. Western nations have supported Zionism, a fascist project, since it’s beginning. Zionism weaponizes antisemitism. These countries weren’t ‘paralyzed.’ They’ve supported the setter colonialism for many decades. They even continue to support the genocide by continuing the provide weapons, do business with, and refuse to sanction a state committing genocide, on top of the violent settlements and ethnic cleansing done for over 76 years. There are much more Christian Zionists than Jewish Zionists. They are not ‘paralyzed by the a (false) accusation of antisemitism.’ Their interests are ideological and financial.

Blowback

The existence of Hamas, and any armed resistance movement, is directly due to the decades of violence experienced daily under the permanent occupation, the Apartheid State, of Israel. It’s impossible to understand their existence if you don’t understand the lived experience and material conditions they are forced to live under. There is no such thing as a perfect victim when it comes to anti-Colonialist resistance, not for the Vietcong, the IRA, or the ANC either. Can you condemn the violence of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in the same way as the violence of the Warsaw Ghetto?

In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video

Adi Callai has also done a great analysis of how Antisemitism has been weaponized by Zionism during its history, as well as an analysis of Franz Fanon and Identity Politics in the context of Colonialism and Anti-colonialism.

“The atrocities committed against the Palestinian people continue to reflect indifference and double standards,” Mohamad said.

“ASEAN cannot remain silent,” said Mohamad, whose country holds the rotating chairmanship of the bloc.

Foreign ministers from the 10-member association in February asserted their “longstanding support” for Palestinian rights.

Muslim-majority Malaysia has no diplomatic relations with Israel and many in the Southeast Asian country support the Palestinians.
