So uh hey Teamsters, the president of one of your biggest new locals just got kidnapped and beaten the shit out of by Israel for trying to bring food to Gaza. Any word on backing him up?
They are too busy doing Chinese people are stealing our jobs to care
nazis never miss an opportunity to beat the shit out of a black guy. wonder where they learned that one from 
The racism of Israel and US is intertwined. Many police departments in the US receive training from Israel.
he must have a set of really big brass balls to be on that boat.
Why do even reputable orgs like Dropsite use incorrect, pro-Israeli wording like “Detained”
They weren’t “Detained by Israeli forces”, they were kidnapped from international waters by Israeli forces. Thats an important distinction, because Israel is doing international piracy.
Who has a positive association with the word "detained"? Detention doesn't imply legitimacy. Also it's really annoying when people police the wording of discussion. They're not operating as a social club. Also it makes articles harder to search in the algorithm when you use obscure language. It is pretty clear that Drop Site News, an organization which frequently interviews leaders of Hamas, is not supporting Israel by using subliminal messaging.
As example of how "detained" does not imply legitimacy. The screenshot below shows headlines of the US-funded propaganda outlet DailyNK using the word detained to describe alleged actions of DPRK. Would you say that the outlet funded by the National Endowment for Democracy is using pro-DPRK language?
It legitimately makes discussing news harder when people scold language usage. It's one thing to recognize that there are pro-Zionist outlets which use passive language whitewash Israel. It's not realistic to expect news outlets to report in shibboleths.
I don't think it's worth fighting over, but "detained" does sort of imply having jurisdiction, whether the act is morally right or wrong.
This is my thing. It doesn’t imply rightness but it does imply that it was within their jurisdiction
The counter example was “American detained in North Korea” but that notably happened in North Korea. If North Korea kidnapped a boat full of Americans and Europeans from international waters, do you think NYT would be using the word “detained”?
Reminder that "Israel" sterilized black Jews without their consent.
They know they can get away with it so they do it.
What are the IOF besides a glorified gang of thugs?
Reminder that the american police is trained in israhell. This is no coincidence.
israelis not beating the yankkkee allegations
