Norman Finkelstein response to crocodile tear crying liberals
Norman Finkelstein response to crocodile tear crying liberals
This was during a Q&A after he spoke about Palestine years ago. You still see many liberals and so-called "leftists" (who are really just libs) crying like this girl. People act like fascists then cry when people call them what they are.
You're viewing a single thread.
Fuck are you talking about libs? Conservatives are the ones who unthinkingly back Israel.
When Obama left office, he gave Isn'treal a parting gift of 3B USD in weaponry.
Biden pledges an additional 8B
Those are your liberal heroes, continuing to fund Palestinian genocide.
Unfortunately untrue considering Biden has promised and appears to be currently acting on providing all support possible.
This is what we on the "far left" (Marxists, MLs, MLMs, etc.) mean when we say "the US does not have a two party system of governance- it has a uniparty, effectively one party rule." The R and Ds may lightly disagree outwardly in their public persona, but actions speak louder than words, and every single US democrat president since the occupation of Palestine began under the current government has supported them essentially without hesitation and without reservation. Obviously the same is true for Republicans. They are united in their foreign policy agendas. And mostly united in domestic policy too... but that's for a different day.
Both democrats and republicans are liberals little bro.
Biden’s a total open Zionist. I can’t find a linkable video, but in 1986 Joe Biden said it was time for people to stop apologizing for supporting Israel because the state is necessary for promoting US imperial interests in the region and if it didn’t exist they’d have to make a new Israel. AOC refused to even protest vote against more funding to Israel at this point. DSA people organized to get her in office and now she won’t even uphold the supposed principles she said she stood for. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/24/politics/aoc-israel-iron-dome-vote-explanation/index.html
Edit: what we mean by “liberalism.”
It's easier to count US politicians who aren't Zionists than those who are... and I'll help, the answer is like... two?
Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar
I'm unsure about Tlaib's current stances. I think she's still the US' most anti-Zionist congressperson. She also gets called antisemitic constantly (or did a few years ago anyway) for making lukewarm, objectively true statements like "Israel treats Palestinians like the Nazis did the Jews." Then people cry, and I will happily direct them to Norman above to rip their buttholes. Not that you need to be Jewish or have had parents in the Holocaust, but, I guess it doesn't hurt. No can accuse Finkelstein of antisemitism, for sure.
Anyway, the last I heard of Omar's anti-Zionism was also several years ago. She spoke out in the House I believe, stuck by her words for a while, but ultimately some mixture of Pelosi, the broad democrat party and pro-Israel PAC seem to have beaten her into submission and silence. They tried to fuck her out her congressional seat too this past election and I'm sure they will continue. They meaning democrats/the DNC and donors... just for zero ambiguity there.
AOC and Bernie will sometimes speak out. Feinstein, yeah the who just died, didn't like the pro-Israel lobby. But all these incredibly powerful people either get broken into silence very very quickly or just change on their own or are never really pro-Palestine to begin with. The US is a hellhole, and this is yet another example of the corruption all throughout.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You are thinking of liberals like in the US sense, I presume. When we say libs we are talking about neoliberals, which would be both the "left" and the right in the US.
