When asked if he considers himself a Zionist, the governor did not respond directly: “I revere the state of Israel,” he answered. “I’m proud to support the state of Israel. I deeply, deeply oppose Bibi Netanyahu’s leadership, his opposition to the two-state solution and deeply oppose how he is indulging the far right as it relates to what’s going on in the West Bank.”

      Do you think the DNC that proffered such jems as Schumer, Clinton, Pelosi, Harris and rejected Sanders for one, is capable of coming to a real opposition? Republicans and Democrats alike are both in the pocket and under control of the Israeli Fascists. You’re already cooked because no one wants to say and run on the clear and obvious truth for fear of pissing off the Israeli puppetmasters. Oh noes! We’ll be called anti-semitic. Israel’s influence is executed through the wealth and power of Wall Street and Hollywood to name two.

      (Just to be clear, Jews are cool, as long as they aren’t supportive of the genocidal fascist apartheird potential or reality of Israel and America.)

      What’s Schumer’s job again? My dude, you’re already cooked.

          Yeah, I have no interest in becoming the 51st state but I also have no interest in fighting a protracted guerilla war under US occupation so I’d really strongly prefer choosing the path where neither of those things have to happen so we can think about eventually reintegrating our economy into a symbiotic relationship with our friendly and cooperative neighbor.

          I’m not holding my breath for it, and I’m not sure we’re ever going to go back to the way things were. But rest assured we’re not looking forward to a future where an authoritarian US government is wielding a terrifying sword of Damocles hanging over our heads either. We really, really want you guys to fix your shit, please. Best of luck, honestly. It matters a lot to us.

          Edit to add: And to be clear, I agree Gavin Newsom suuuuuuucks, if you guys end up with him as a presidential candidate we are all cooked.

        You have it backwards. Israel is America’s foreign policy. Our government wants them to be the big swinging dick in the middle east because it furthers the economic interests of capital. Corporate dems know that genocide looks bad but they fundamentally want to keep our rabid attack dog armed and dangerous.

      Shit Americans say: “Oh no it’s clearly the Dems who are wrong, it’s not some fat old man running around naked swinging his tiny dick”

      “It’s clearly Hillarybidenkamalas fault I could not get off my ass and vote”

      Etc

        No, because if Newsom runs he’ll lose, badly. Giving a corporate stooge like Newsom the nomination would be tantamount to giving Republicans the presidency (or, at best, getting a one-term semi-lull before fascism comes back stronger than ever in 2032).

        They could have had some normal politician that says normal politician things. With some overly diplomatic stance on Israel.

        They chose whatever this is supposed to be right now. They chose genocide PLUS Trump Riviera on top of the bones.
