Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank

Reply in thread

I'm not referring to powerless, mouth-breathing, NEETs who normally lurk forums.

But I'm referring to comments from actual members of the Israeli Knesset, public statements from people like the OP, printed editorials in mainstream publications, and modern Israeli celebrities.

When you read through the translations not meant for western audiences - the racism pops out disturbingly. It's such a part of their culture that they don't even notice it as such. Zionists really don't view people in the West Bank or Gaza as humans.

The GOP’s New Medicaid Denialism | Unable to defend their health-care cuts on the merits, congressional Republicans have pivoted to magical thinking.

Medicade is a piece of load-bearing social infrastructure that most Americans - who are not on Medicade and barely understand the difference between Medicare and Medicade - are blissfully unaware of it's ramifications for the entire healthcare system.

Put another way: The only reason we don't have hordes of people in the streets demanding universal healthcare - is because the poor have Medicade, so it's in their best-interests to behave.
