Quote from: Razgovory on August 19, 2024, 05:06:47 PMI just posted an article on the organizers.  They want Israel eradicated. 

I stand corrected.


One small quibble is I can't see anything beyond the MSN opinion piece that says the dude is leading the protests. Everywhere else says he is a spokesperson.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Plus the quote sourced from said opinion piece doesn't say what Raz interprets it to say. So...  :tinfoil:
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Razgovory

It doesn't?  The article goes in to quite a bit of detail about the eliminationist ideology of proponents of settler colonialism.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The protestors do not seem to be turning this thing into 1968 so far  :hmm:
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Not fully committed to Palestine and abortion.

Razgovory

They did breach a fence, but the cops stopped them arrested some people.  There isn't as big a turn out as they expected.

So a PBS anchor said that Donnie is calling Netanyahu encouraging him to extend the conflict in order to help him win the election. But the protestors still think the Democrats are the ones they should be protesting  :wacko:

The rumor has a Nixonian tinge.

I'm not sure on the 1968 analogues. That was quite a different time for the Democrats with the right/left flip really just getting into gear, the Dixiecrats still being an issue, and so on.

Trump is hardly going to completely flip his views. Its far more realistic to foresee the Democrats being a bit more outspoken in the calls for peace.

Oh sure - and there's unlikely to be a cop riot.

I just mean Nixon using back channels to sabotage peace talks over Vietnam as it would help the Democrats.

Well we know the Nixon connection to Roy Cohn connection to Trump.
