criticising Israel's genocide of palestinians and consistent settlement of palestinian land going back 75 years and the American government unconditionally supporting them to do this for the last few decades regardless of political party isnt racist actually. I'm assuming you don't think that just because I criticise the actions of the Russian government that makes me a white supremacist who hates all russian people.
edit: im getting downvoted for saying genocide is bad and countries that commit genocide are bad lmao
It's because redditoids are usually genocidal anglos from either an overt FIVE-EYES nation, or a vassal to a FIVE-EYES nation that desperately wants to be in the club. As one of those redditoids above mentioned, rather ironically I might add, "those with skewed moral cores don't like being reminded of it by the upright".
Vassal isnt the right word. Israel notoriously doesnt take orders from the US. Also I'm pretty sure they have a like a visitor pass to 5-eyes.
You're not wrong, but calling what Amerika and Israel have an "ineffectually-dominated sugar baby relationship" deeply trivializes what the occupiers are doing to Palestine. As it is, I have no reason to believe Biden/the DNC don't tacitly cosign what Israel's doing, from how Biden just admonishes Bibi then sends them millions upon millions more dollars in materiel every month.
I think "psychotic 1800s style colonial project we inherited from the Brits" is better but also too verbose.
Theres a reason BDS just points to Apartheid South Africa. (and Rhodesia)
Scratch a liberal and a fascist downvotes.
