  • Frankly, the thing that scares me the most is that you can hear the soldiers in the audience loudly booing at residents of LA on behalf of Trump, when prompted by Trump. That’s disgusting behavior, and should get them all reprimanded or discharged.

    While I don’t necessarily have the default unchallenged respect/reverence for the military that most people do, at the very least I expect them to act professionally and respectfully in their own country (since we know that’s often way too much to ask when they’re sent abroad). Fuck any solider who openly acts on their political views, and fuck every soldier that doesn’t refuse an illegal order. You volunteered to do this, so you better do it right.









  • As an American Jew who has spent significant time in Israel and the occupied territories in Palestine, this piece is awesome and accurately reflects my experiences there.

    Anyone who thinks Israel operates in good faith needs to read this, to quickly have that misconception torn to shreds. Many American Jews have gone through this kind of transformation, and it makes perfect sense when you see what actually happens to the normal human beings living there—that happen to be Palestinian—on a daily basis.

    And his descriptions of interacting and living with Palestinians (and how Israelis only ever refer to all Palestinians as Arabs), match my experiences to the tee.
