- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 6 days ago:
I have called for the end of the war in Gaza for a long time. I have advocated for a two state solution and Palestinians to live a life in dignity, freedom, and prosperity for decades.
The current Israeli government makes terrible decisions. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are inciting and ordering violence on an unacceptable level.
Let’s remember how we ended up here. Arafat rejected the peace deal offered. The second intifada destroyed the peace camp in Israel. Olmert‘s offer was rejected as well. Hamas followed a policy of war instead of building a future for Gazans.
- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 6 days ago:
Yes, those originate from Arab, Persian, and Hebrew speaking extremists.
The point is, Bob Vylan escalated the rhetoric in the English language surrounding Israel to a new level, not heard for other topics.
Calling for death is the opposite of calling for peace. It’s a call for more violence and war.
- Comment on All cults go through phases of culling the non-believers. Anytime you justify a cult leaders anti-social behavior solely for the benefits you get by keeping the cult going you've begun this process. 6 days ago:
The left is full of this kind of purity testing.
Social media has accelerated the forming of lots of small cults and polarization.

More war it is then, what you’re asking for.

Did the KKK guy defend chants to „Gas the Jews“ or similar in his interview?
- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 6 days ago:
„Death to Israel“ and „Death to America“ is also popular in the Middle East.
How about in the UK or Anglosphere?
- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 6 days ago:
Theroux is responsible for whom he chooses to platform and what parts of an interview to publish. He knew this would be controversial, generate lots of clicks, and might lose him sponsors.

Just giving the original source as context, so people can make up their own minds.
- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 6 days ago:
What other chants do you know that start with „death to“?
- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 6 days ago:
How is calling for the death of soldiers truth to power?
- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 6 days ago:
Watch Bob Vylan gleefully smile, when he defends his slogan.

- Comment on If only we knew... 1 week ago:
The world fought a war about this and we all agree the idea of massacring millions for their religious views is a bad thing
That was not what WW2 was fought about at all.
The Jews weren’t killed in the Holocaust for their religious views, but for their ethnicity. An atheist communist with one Jewish parent went to the gas chambers and shooting pits just like the pious Jew in traditional dress.

- Comment on Know the difference 1 week ago:
Antifa calls dissenters (anyone to the right of them like social democrats) fascists and and would put them straight into gulag if they could.
Regarding Jews, it depends for both of them.
- Comment on The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust. 1 week ago:
It is on my way to work, so yes I see different protests going on. It’s not the same people though.

The OP‘s argument is exactly that.
- Comment on The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust. 1 week ago:
Do those protesting for Gaza also protest about Sudan, Yemen, Rohingya, West Sahara, Yezidis, Uyghurs, Christians in Nigeria, Kurds, and so on?

- Comment on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites are falling to Earth at an alarming rate 3 weeks ago:
The low orbit means they have more drag from the atmosphere. So to stay in orbit, the satellites need to spend fuel. That fuel runs out after a couple of years.

- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 5 weeks ago:
Nazi Germany had a bad geographical location. Strong powers to the east and west, including the UK as unsinkable aircraft carrier and staging ground for invasion. The USA has none of these issues. It’s surrounded by big oceans and militarily weak neighbors. A naval invasion of the USA is basically impossible.
The USA can do whatever they want in all countries in the Americas. Not even a worldwide coalition could stop that.
The USA could invade and annex Mexico and Canada quite easily.
The USA can also afford to intervene military across the globe, get stuck in a quagmire for years, and it doesn’t endanger their control over their own country.
