Wtf? Do both. Economic and military sanctions. Cripple their economy until they withdraw to the 67 borders and still their genocide.

She said claims Israel is committing a genocide are based on “Totally Made Up” propaganda. She said this at an event sponsored at the rightwing extremist Israel Hayom newspaper, published by Trump megadonor and genocidal Zionist Miriam Adelson. She's depraved.

Clinton opposed a ceasefire, thus she tacitly supported Israel's genocide. If support for genocide isn't a bright red line for you, what is?

Clinton is literally a narcissistic hater monger who advocates for Israel's genocide of Palestinians, and is an Islamophobe and anti-Arab racist. She's not as bad as Trump, but she would've been awful.

Did the UK sanction only the central administrative district of Moscow over their invasion of Ukraine? I can't recall, can someone please remind me. What they did there might have moral and legal implications for how they handle the Israeli regime. ditto the US. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/...

I noticed the slight of hand you did there, but are you really claiming they did poorly at science and history class? C'mon, the problem with, for example, RFK isn't that he isn't smart, he probably isn't, it's that he's a social darwinist. Same for Bessent etc etc

Tom Cotton went to Harvard for a BA in govt. Trump went to Wharton. JD Vance has his BA in polisci and got his JD at Yale. Ted Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard Law. Desantis went to Yale and Harvard. This is an awful shitlib take. The people killing us are highly educated elites.

I think this is fundamentally wrong but in an interesting way I will need to write about sometime. The key is a) consumers do not choose what is produced, or how, they choose between what is produced. This is a crucial difference

Africans never accepted white supremacist states in South Africa and Rhodesia. Why should Arabs? The Zionist entity that privileges Jews over Arabs must go the same way- to the dustbin of history. Let's support a single state with equal rights for all people.

best take on the Scott Weiner kerfuffle. Weiner was far too late in recognizing Israel's acts as a genocide and in advocating for withholding arms from Israel, but he does support these. haranguing him in public is a terrible tactic that is backfiring. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/why-sam-ha...

Legally, we hold leadership accountable: send Netanyahu, his cabinet, and the top of the IDF to the Hague. But as a practical matter, if we want a just resolution, whether two-state or one-state, we need to understand the ideology that brought us here and that ideology is Zionism.

calvinminer.bsky.social @calvinminer.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Can you defend "Zionism has always been broader than that?" 2/3 of Israelis support genocide in numerous polls, and a plurality explicitly support a Holocaust. Genocide isn't just Netanyahu, the state is organized around that goal and Zionism by and large is organized around supporting that state.

When you suggest Jewish=Zionist and/or vice versa, that's antisemitic. It's not antisemitic to scrutinize Zionism.

calvinminer.bsky.social @calvinminer.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Zionism is not the same as being Jewish, but it seems like you've internalized that very deeply, and that itself is antisemitic. The Zionist moment needs to be scrutinized, yes.

calvinminer.bsky.social @calvinminer.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Lol, you're the one that wants to scapegoat Netanyahu. We can't ignore the broad support for genocide among the US and European Zionist movements and Israeli society.

calvinminer.bsky.social @calvinminer.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Zionism used to be a broader idea than that, no accident you used the past tense there: "has been." The other strains are long dead now though, and you have to face up to actually-existing Zionism which was correctly described above as support for the state of Israel's genocide and aggression.

It's public record that Clinton meet with Netanyahu in 1997. A month later he told Lewinsky that a foreign embassy tapped their phone sex. Dismissing this because Netanyahu wasn't pm yet is being obtuse.

The choice is the MOA and the end of this war (if Trump can contain Israel) or the resumption of war and a global recession once already dwindling oil reserves are exhausted. Supporting the later is idiotic, and worse yet, war mongering.

She's stupidly criticizing the MOU ($300 Billion isn't coming from the federal general fund) which is the basis for the end of the war.

calvinminer.bsky.social @calvinminer.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
It's a bad deal because the US lost on the battlefield and the MOU is a reflection of that reality. When you say the deal should be rejected, you're saying we need to go back to war. You are a war hawk, no scare quotes.

My problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.
