    What he means is "so why cant you support apartheid like me you ingrates?". Reminds me of that grotesque two parter of west wing with the zionist POS talking about how Palestinians should be killed en mass (one of the leads btw) and the other guy in the waiting room or wherever in a lovely thick Belfast accent responds that the Palestinians should never compromise to the likes of him. And war criminal protag is like "what like your people?" and chad IRA guy is like".....YES!! we didn't give in, and we more or less got favorable terms without losing the means to fight back when needed in the future. Bowing to people like you never gives us oppressed a victory, just slower deaths" or some shit.

    Any comparison that is made by Irish-American gusanos is gonna be some unhinged ahistorical "it is bad when you do it" thing

    The great Irish raconteur Malachy McCourt always reserves his greatest disgust for any Irish-American who becomes a conservative. Because it’s the complete antithesis of the Irish experience of having been under the boot of England for centuries. The sheer gall of all the scumbag MSM pundits like O’Reilly, Hannity etc are the epitome of traitors to the legacy of what being Irish means. And they’re all fucking cops too. Perhaps the biggest traitors. Reminding us all that there’s a price at which almost everyone will sell out, or barring are quick to lord it over everyone else if given the chance. Man, after all this time hearing politicians say things they full well know they have no intention of backing up, only to score temporary political points, it all just becomes so depressing. I mean, like what is Biden hoping for when he says something like that - if he won’t do anything for Palestine, which means defying fascist Israel?

        The muted proceedings contrasted with Biden’s effusive handshakes and hugs as he met Israeli officials earlier this week. Biden wasn’t supposed to shake hands with any foreign officials during his first Middle East trip, a precaution aides had said was meant to protect him from Covid-19.

        lmao.

        EDIT: that periodical is incredible. below the biden piece it promotes other "most read" articles, and the number one had this title:

        I was drinking a bottle of wine most nights, sometimes even two

        like, way to just steer--drunkenly i might add--into the stereotype.

    How is this real? Like. What. How? He frequently talks about how big of a Zionist he is. Is this just some roundabout way to provide cover for Israel by pretending to promote some "moderate" version of it?

    This is like the clearest indication he has dementia. Just holding two entirely contradictory worldviews. Or did some Israeli politician insult him?

    English is not my first language, is this a pro or an anti palestinian comment?
