Like the mere fact that this is even a question in a Mayoral race let alone how it plays out.

  • Make Israel a state where all citizens have the same rights

  • Racist Israelis (majority) flee because that can’t bear having Palestinian neighbours without being allowed to abuse them and steal their land

  • Israel becomes ruled by Palestinians

  • They change the name to Palestine

This is, in my opinion, the best possible outcome.

one state solution, free palestine but amerikkka keeps calling it israel like trump's gulf of america horse shit

It was enjoyable in the debate that the moderators would cut in with "you clearly don't want to answer the question so we're moving on"

Also: "We couldn't limit ourselves to having less than 12 people on the stage at once so you'll have 30 seconds to make your introductions and answer the first question"

They hated his answer because they thought Israel shouldn't exist, right?

they have ask him this question like 3 times already, they will probably keep asking it while calling him an antisemite

The center-right purity tests on Zionism are everything they accuse the left-wing boogeyman of doing.

uh, yay autismdragon is back!

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I appreciate the idea of being in people's thoughts like that!

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hey good to see you back! I was worried you had left for good.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Probably still not going to be around that much because I've sort of drifted, but this seemed like a thing I wanted to post. But thanks for thinking of me!

I want to hope this is just Zohran covering his ass and trying to appear somewhat chuddish so as to be allowed to even participate…which just goes to show how democracy has nothing to do with Amerikkka’s problems.

[–] Biddles@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

The implication is that Palestinians have equal rights in Israel and can vote and hold office, which completely changes the dynamic of the country (a la South Africa after the apartheid)

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Israel is the albatross around humanity's neck. The world is ignoring the plight of the Palestinians and there will be a price to pay for all of us. The maintenance of Israel requires no compromise on any leftist/progressives issues. And I have had comments deleted saying that Israel doesn't control the US (my comment might have implied it did) which is true but Israel does have a lot of weight in US domestic and foreign policy and the US itself is even further corrupted (in the sense that progressives have their legs cut out from underneath them) by their endless support of their little genocide brother.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

i hope i live to see the absolute destruction of that country

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

As do we all.

At this point I think that there is no avenue to tackle climate change as long as Israel exists.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

The state is called Palestine, but alright

[–] SexMachineStalin@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

"israel" has a right to... take a Dongfeng-41 intercontinental ballistic missile up the arse

[–] Des@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

the dragon returns!!

You missed out on a lot of drama. A lot.

TBH, he handled these loaded questions better than I expected. He got these "liberal zionists", who are just oh-so concerned about rising antisemitism, to show their support for ethnonationalism and apartheid.

Still far from ideal, and I long for the day someone with cameras on them actually has the guts to push back against the myth of a "state's right to exist" but yeah.
