good trends need to be capitalized on
The good trend in this case is murdering half a million Palestinians has slightly shifted liberals views on their chosen settler state?
By god, at this rate it will only take the genocide of the entire middle east by israel to finally have liberals decide that it all should end. Just in time for the racially pure ethnostate to by complete! How convenient!!
If anything, negative perceptions of Israel (not just the current leadership) is on the rise
So only after a genocide is escalated do libs finally move away from open support? Damn what a group to be aligned with.
So you are not going to explain your comment any further?
Guessing the latter, you moral little angel you.
What is your limit that in the past for someone to care that it counts?
How is my reply bad faith?
Your comment minimises all the brutalisation done against minorities, since the biggest difference with Trump is he is doing all that as before, but also targetting white people who were otherwise shielded from the bluntest parts of the US.
If that difference is 1000 times worse then how are you not valuing the comfort of white people above all?
Trump is 1000 times worse than any Democrat and every single day
Now that Trump has started to hurt a lot of middle class white people suddenly the pain is a problem. All the pain on minority communities before Trump was fine eh?
I’m sorry your liberal zionist has been exposed, but when you said you were done with the exchange its weird to come back to it.
You got the one example you wanted and you want to duck out already?
You don’t get to make a massive post shaming people for criticising a politician and then get upset when people respond.
Surprisingly enough, a one-sentence Twitter link has led you astray!
Bernie’s communication director lied? That sounds like a bad thing to do given they could be complicit in genocide.
The bill blocks a particular sale by Trump of weapons to Israel.
So only offensive weapons then…
What’s carved out of it?
Carved out is the absence of Bernie blocking the iron dome missiles that israel uses to act with impunity… Bernie would never touch them since the existence of the occupation is necessary in his mind.

“Offensive” arms only.
Why are you making up what I said?
Whee look at the goalposts go
Failing to call it a genocide in 77 years is not moving a goalpost. Its basic human decency
I am honestly a little bit surprised to see so many people eager to jump up and provide examples of the type of bad faith argument I was talking about in my original comment.
Bad faith is what Bernie has done, always blaming Nentanyahu, continuing the flow of any arms, trade and people to the settler state.
No, his bills were always weasely with what restrictions they placed. They always had easy to reach exceptions that continued the flow of trade to the occupation. They always allowed more Americans to settler in the land and steal homes from the Palestinians.
Bernie never truly has taken an anti-zionist position. He always ultimately props up the settler state. Even in his latest speech he blames the resistance.
He’s been doing what most of Lemmy would like to see someone in the US Congress doing
He has focused more of his time criticising the Nentayahu government specifically, rather than the fundamental concept of running a settler colony. He has only recently starting naming the full israeli government. He still believes in sending weapons, aid and trade to the occupation ensuring the continued murder of the Palestinians can continue.
is just going to get smoothly replaced by these users with some other reason to nailbite about him
Because ultimately Bernie still supports the conditions that will continue the genocide. He is still a liberal zionist. He will still buy a beachfront property in Gaza once it is cleansed but I guess its ok if he cries the entire time.
Alongside all the previous governments as well, given its a settler state.
Not their fault the israelis following a policy of war rather than building a future, in all the years previous.
