NYC has the largest jewish commiunity outside israel, many of which anti-zionists, and it shows how people of different faiths can co-live peacefully, so you can see why isreal wants to influence our politics
breaking my hiatus to say this:
New York is the present day Lviv in what it meant to Jewish identity before the rise of zionism following the Odessa Pogroms. israel knows this. they want to re-evoke the origins of their movement. they want to control what it means to be Jewish.
but Jewishness is defined for a lot of Jews not by our connection to Levantine soil, but instead our opposition to oppression. fuck zionism forever. and fuck its need to reignite hate against semitic people to create a self fulfilling prophecy that we cannot be safe in our own communities.
israel is pharaoh.
It's clear why they want to but why are our news outlets amplifying their messages. They shouldn't be
Because "our" "news" outlets are owned by the same people who funded the opposition to Mamdani in the first place.
Ah yes. Well noticed there, gewd jerb.
P.S. Apparently you're not aware that I can see you downvoting every single comment of mine, as if that helps your ridiculous stance in any way. So far you downvoted three of my comments that have nothing to do with this thread.
P.P.S. This loser is going through my whole comment history downvoting the comments.
The Guardian has been massively pro-Israel for most of their Genocide in Gaza and even now that they toned down the very overt support for it, still uses two-tiered language when it comes to Israel and Palestinians, such as using "says" or "states" for statements from the former whilst for the latter using "claims", reporting on deaths by saying that Israelis "were killed" whilst Palestinians merely "died", describing attacks on civilians as "terrorism" if done by Hamas but not if done by Israel and, more generally, using the kind of language towards Israel that produces the impression of them being "righteous" and "one of us" whilst for Palestinians languages that dehumanizes them and/or produces the impression of them being "criminals" and "not one of us".
Further, The Guardian is pretty much "The Voice Of The English Upper and Upper Middle Class", who are definitely people siding with American fatcats same as they side with their own fatcats and with pretty much the entire elite privilege-preserving infrastructure over there (their coverage of The Royals is the very definition of "fawning").
They're basically the British equivalent of the New York Times.
So yeah, it's absolutely logical to suspect that The Guardian are purposefully "amplifying their messages" because that's something entirely consistent with how they've always treated Israel.
I know they are a uk based news outlet but they are popular here and market to Americans like they expect us to read it and they still aren't Israeli so what's your point?
Also it not just this paper reporting this crap it's nonstop.
Oh no! A UK-based news outlet dares to write about things happening outside of the UK, unlike every other news outlet in the world. And they've become popular in the US, how dare they! This definitely means they're ‘our’ US news site, like every cowardly and duplicitous US news outlet, which is all of them.
And they're also still ‘aren't Israeli’, whatever the fuck that means despite The Guardian consistently criticizing Israel's attempts at the inflammatory foreign policy and comments, and you being deliberately blind to all of that. So what does your incoherent drivel mean?
P.S. I can still see you downvoting my unrelated comments, dummy.
I was saying that a news outlet that I used to respect is using their platform to amplify the propaganda of a hostile foreign leader. I don't understand what your problem is with that. Maybe you just have problems in general?
I said "our news outlets" because this is a place I normally get my news you fucking idiot.
I was expressing disgust with the paper I read. But you really got me!
Not only you're dumb beyond belief as to interpret things as that, but of course you also downvote every comment of mine here and there as if they have anything to do with anything, like that helps your argument in any way.
Please continue to spout ridiculous nonsense as to how any site you ever visited is “your news outlet”, that will surely fortify your view.
Sounds like you are just a Zionist anyways. Probably a "settler".
Oh yeah, anyone who downvotes your nonsensical drivel any time per your hundreds of downvotes is a 'settler'. Just like it works with Israelites. But somehow you're not one of them asswipes hijacking actual constructive discussion, are you? No, you're just one of the incoherent clowns repeating the same accusations against people opposed to actual political discussion, aren't you?
