deliberately too. they specifically murder family members in front of others. they’re the worst, most vicious terrorists in recent memory.

Thanks for this link. It’s good analysis. I found the tweet so viscerally offensive that I struggled to articulate the specifics of how it was so fucked, so I appreciate seeing someone break it down.

Analyzing the bias in BBC reporting in Palestine

Coverage of Gaza War in the New York Times and Other Major Newspapers Heavily Favored Israel, Analysis Shows

Western coverage of Gaza: A textbook case of coloniser’s journalism

If you want more on Bias. Also, let’s make one thing clear: This isn’t a genocide against the Gazan people, it’s a genocide against the Palestinian people. Gazans are Palestinians in diaspora. Israel has been working nonstop to ethnically cleanse all Palestinians in Palestine whether that’s in Gaza, West Bank, or the rest of the occupied territories. Anyone acting like it’s just Gaza or the “Gazans” is part of the problem. It might seem pendantic, but it’s too late for some half-assed lip service bullshit, especially from those that have been complicit, enablers, and the primary drivers of this genocide and oppression 100 years in the making.

Palestinians have families, and not only Palestinians in Gaza were harmed by the genocide and ethnic cleansing. There were also pogroms in the West Bank.

This tweet is best understood in the context of the consistently biased media coverage that we’ve seen over the last few years, in which Israeli deaths and injuries are covered far more frequently and with more emotive language than those of Palestinians. This is despite the fact that the harm to Palestinians is far larger, both in terms of the brutality inflicted upon civilians, and the scale of deaths. This is a genocide.

And yes, I’m using the word “Palestinian”, because besides the fact that Palestinians in the West Bank have also been severely affected by this conflict (as well as being systematically oppressed by the apartheid regime even before October 7th), Israeli politicians have made it abundantly clear that complete genocide of Palestinians in their goal.

In the presence of genocide I believe he can be judged by a more absolute moral barometer, regardless of his role or designation.

How does history reflect on those that remained silent during the Holocaust or Armenian genocide?

Obama seeks to put himself in that group with his assessment here.

He’s not a diplomat. He’s a guy that has been paid at least tens of millions by israel.

I legit thought you were being sarcastic when you referred to Obama as leftist.

it’s fascinating how American propaganda made it so people look at a neoliberal war criminal, and consider them a leftist because he didn’t persecute gays.

Obama was not a leftist.

Can you name a single “leftist” policy the deporter-in-chief implemented?

I can’t imagine why. 🤣

We’re only permitted to critique one bourgeois warmonger at a time? How convenient for the US empire lol. Your “lesser evil” is a mass murderer and imperialist like every other Western leader. This man oversaw the droning of thousands, including countless civilians and children, across multiple sovereign nations, the destruction of Libya and Syria in 2011, plunging the countries into chaos from which they never recovered to this day, the bailing out of the banks that crashed the global economy while leaving the working class to drown in foreclosures and debt, the expansion of the surveillance state that has only grown since then… and that’s only the beginning, really.

Class war isn’t a team sport between two reactionary parties, and nor is it “good cop vs bad cop”. One manages imperialism and the exploitation of its own working class with a smile and “inclusive” rhetoric, the other doesn’t.

Two people can be criticized at the same time.

Calling it a genocide would be nice. The UN used the term. Everyone in power is scared to say it because of the legal obligations involved.

it’s so annoying when critics complain of annoying things like genocide and ethnic cleansing; ugh.

Here’s an option.

“We must end this genocide, and stopping any and all funds to Israel, coupled with heavy sanctions and the threat of war is a great start.”

Look how concise it could be.

“A ceasefire is a positive first step, but must come with a future where al Palestine is free from the river to the sea.”

He never will say something like this because he’s in the pocket of the Zionist lobby, but if he said something like that and actually followed up I would be satisfied.

He won’t, because it comes with political repercussions, but what he should do is to call things by their names: that this is a bloody massacre, an extermination campaign conducted by Israel with the blessing and sponsorship of the US, while the whole fucking rest of the world was too coward to actually step in, so they looked away.

But instead of demanding accountability, he’s washing away the blood and preparing to move on like nothing happened and nobody is to blame. It’s disgusting, revolting. The tweet reply is right, Obama is probably one of the biggest disappointments of the generation.

I can’t believe they gave the guy a peace Nobel prize, they should take it back.

Edit: you genuinely couldn’t think of why people would be mad at Obama? And if you’re not one of these “critics” yourself, then where do you stand? Because it sounds like you’re sitting on the fence so hard that you have barbed wire shoved up your ass.

@Ging Maybe reconsider that “anarchist” when you’re defending imperialist propaganda with that “imperialist Obama can’t please the critics here.”

@DropBear

Nothing, probably.
