Of course bombing hospitals and killing civilians is utterly reprehensible. This is an indisputable fact. Right? Right? We all agree on this unequivocally. Right? Don't we? Apparently we don't. #iran #israel #palestine #gaza #genocide #bombinghospitals

You've heard the plaintive refrain: "Why are they so obsessed with Israel? Why can't they complain about other atrocities?" I'll tell you why: Because the Gaza genocide is the WORST CRIME OF MY LIFETIME. We're 'obsessed' just as Zionists are obsessed with killing Palestinians. #gaza #genocide

To paraphrase the intrepid @michaelhobbes.bsky.social, the program of the "extreme right" can be reduced to one strategic exploit: Selling victimhood to privileged people. It serves White Christian nat'lists, as well as Zionists still using the Holocaust to justify murdering Palestinian children.

Has Matt Taibbi always been such a self-righteous, self-important prick? At one point he was doing good reporting about kleptocracy, and he's generally right about media censorship, but now all he wants to do is crow about how badly all of us are misreading Trump. Seems like he wants in.

Consider the typical colonialist practice that Israelis deploy by coopting words and phrases in Arabic that are "cool." Israelis love to curse in Arabic because it's "slumming" and edgy. They say "mabsoot" and "ya'allah" while they full erase the culture these words came from. #colonialism #arabic
