I’m curious, to the people downvoting: why? Are you unable to see her humanity? What specifically in her deeply personal op ed made you so feel so strongly that you had to downvote this post? I’m genuinely curious. Or did you just see the word Palestinian and downvote it by force of habit, thus proving her point in the process?
This was a powerful op ed written by someone who knows what she’s talking about, exposing some uncomfortable truths about the US and what it valves.
I upvoted this post but to be fair, people downvote for different reasons.
I have downvoted articles I agree with that just had a very disingenuous headline.
You guys had faith in humanity?
Yes, I think anyone who’s open to learning the fact that we’re all shit eventually will. The question is what next.
I lost mine a while ago. Insert “I’m doing my part!” Starship Troopers meme.
Biden: sorry, best I could do is nukes for Isreals “self defense.” Yeah yeah they have their own secret supply, and something something what does nukes have to do with self defense, but we’re feeling charitable. Please don’t turn against me AIPAC look I’m being a good little old boy.
Im sorry to tell you, but the powers (rich people) that be will never allow someone to be US president that doesnt support Israel. It is good to call them out for their bullshit, but you need to accept that you either have to throw away your vote, or vote for the (substantially) lesser evil.
So you must certainly agree with me that the US is consequently a terrorist state
I mean historically it was founded on the basis of a genocide, so from that point of view sure.
Have you tried… not being Palestinian?
-America, probably
