US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”
Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”
There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.
ITT: People clutching their pearls over a nebulous tweet while outright wishing death on every conservative and their families.
they are literally disappearing people in foreign slave camps.
it would be self defense
People want fascists dead, we just despise conservatives. Are you implying that all conservatives are fascists, do you feel conservatism requires fascist values? Do you really think you’re a conservative and not a fascist?
Being a conservative is fascism in a way. Opposing the rights of others is fascism.
I would even say liberalism includes elements of cryptofascism, but yeah, the farther away from out and proud fascism you get the easier it is to mean well.
But you can always be useful to fascists without knowing it, unless you adopt an explicitly antifascist posture.
EDIT oh right I had a point. My point is that there certainly must be some well meaning conservatives–and they are especially useful to fascists.
Well meaning conservatives have as much representation in politics as progressives…
Heh
