  “I am bought and paid for by the Israeli government”

    He’s also completely failing at this task. His job is to keep neoliberals pro-Israel.

    Literally admitting loyalty to a foreign government.

      and that he’s disregarding his constituents concerns while admittedly attempting to social-engineer acceptance for it.

  It’s so cute when liberals think that they’re leftists.

  • sporkler@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    all liberals aren’t leftists, but all leftists…

    or are you saying that a consevative agenda is leftist?

      Liberalism is a right-wing ideology, full stop.

  Why is it so fucking hard for American Idiots to understand that the Jewish people =/= Israel.

  • mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s not. That type of thinking just works with the narrative, whether it’s conflating “Israel” and “Jews,” or “Men” and “rapists,” or “Blacks” and criminals, or Muslims and terrorists. The point is to make it impossible to argue with anything said

    because the pro-israeli lobby has spent millions, billions even, on trying to corrupt the discourse so that any criticism of israel is inherently linked to antisemitism, and tens of millions of people, if not more, have bought into that social engineering and believe deeply that criticizing israel is literally worse than anything hitler did.

    Marketing conflates the two, not much we can do.

      It’s not marketing. It’s a targeted campaign to intertwine the two… oh wait yeahs it’s marketing 🤣

      Israel’s 1948 Declaration of Independence states the nation was founded on the “national and historic right of the Jewish people”

      Israel’s 2018 Basic Law constitutionally enshrined the state as the "nation-state of the Jewish people. " granting exclusive national self-determination to Jews, prioritize Jewish settlement as a “national value”, designate Hebrew as the sole official language (with Arabic demoted to “special status”), affirm Jerusalem as the capital, and guarantee Jewish immigration rights

      This may be why people conflate the two.

    I mean how is it much different than “I hate Trump and Elon” but I don’t hate Americans … (well I am an American but still).

      You are not antisemitic just because you are anti genocide.

  Imagine a French politician saying my job is to keep my constituency pro-Japan (or any other country).

  Then you have failed. Quit trying to make it happen, we aren’t going to support a genocidal regime.

  Like I’ve said before, I’ve never been more disgusted with Zionists and Israel. The fact that his goofy ass is sucking off Netanyahu in the background just makes me pissed off like nothing else. I’ve literally only been using bluesky to ask him to Resign

  I wonder if that quote could cause him to face the consequences he deserves at some point in the future.

  That person is such a disappointment.

  • tacofox@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Not when something like %80-%90 of our government has been taken over by zionists. Above the board the paid off are being funded by AIPAC and other pacs. But more importantly are life long politicians and three letter agencies that have been infested with Zionist plants.

    Is demanding a ceasefire and putting an arms embargo on Israel until it does make you an anti-semetic bot in favor of hamas? Because those are the people Schumer thinks are the enemies of Israel.
