Hitler started with camps immediately after taking power. He became chancellor on January 31st and by March there were a dozen concentration camps operating and 100,000 people imprisoned.
Bernie is a Zionist because he supports the continued existence of Israel and a two state solution. That’s unacceptable to many pro Palestinian activists who want the destruction of Israel.
Nah, this is perfectly on brand for anti Israel activists. They are the only ones who care and pay attention to AOC in this matter. The red paints fits as well. Attacking their allies because they aren’t radical enough is daily practice for anti Israel activists as well.
Pfeiffer: The shooting that we heard earlier that's happening so close to your hospital, are we hearing fighting? Are we hearing defense? What is happening that is so audible in the background?
Maynard: This is through fighting almost certainly between gangs or families who are fighting over food. We've seen this on several occasions. This is not the Israeli military and it's not Hamas, we're told very reliably. It's fighting gangs or fighting families who are trying to get food, and this is born out of desperation for food because they are all starving.
Gunshot wounds like that could also be results from these fights between Palestinians.
They are more conservative in the following points:
traditional family is important
religion is important
hard work needs to be rewarded
most rich people are there by merit
criminals deserve punishment
Elite leftists love to harp on the bigotry of white evangelicals, but completely ignore the religious and anti LGBT beliefs of Hispanics and African-Americans for example.
So conservatives manage to appeal to the working class with culture war rhetoric and morality. Even though their economic and other policies are worse for them.
Democrats don’t have a great track record either. Cities that have been ruled by Democrats for decades have lots of homelessness, crime, high cost of living, unaffordable rents, and so on. Democratic policies have failed to end the misery that is black urban areas for decades for example.
On the other hand the democrats are also losing the growing number of overeducated underachieving folks, who increasingly look further to the left. They often claim to follow intersectional politics for everyone preaching according to the most virtuous trends, but then fail to build coalitions to actually change things. The only thing these knowledge worker elites managed, is to get hired as consultants, PR, and HR people. So yeah, there are bluehaired trans folks present in every media now. That doesn’t improve material conditions for the working class one bit. These serving virtue politics (aka wokeism) only helps a fraction of people, mostly the small class of overeducated knowledge capitalists.
The world of 2025 is not the same one of decades earlier: Americans don’t like the undue influence of corporate power; they want their government to do more for them; they’re tired of war; they’ve been devastated by decades of offshoring and austerity; and, as they have made repeatedly clear, they’re not fans of the Clinton family.
The Republicans cover several of these points.
Voters also care about crime and immigration.
What the democratic elite doesn’t get is the working class has more socially conservative values.
The context here is that this is happening in Syria. There Bedouins and other militias have been massacring Druze for a week now with a 1000 dead. Israeli intervention has led to a ceasefire.
The Druze in Israel are very upset about this and have even breached the border to Syria recently. The Israeli Druze are well integrated in Israel and voluntarily have served in the IDF since the war of independence. They have created pressure on the Israeli government to do something about it. There are Druze members of Knesset, including some from Netanyahu‘s party, the Likud.
Antisemitism as a term has only ever meant hatred against Jews. There’s no irony here. The very argument you’re using is regularly used to says that Palestinians can’t be antisemitic.
Antisemitism has little to do with Judaism as a religion and everything to do with Jews as a people or race.
