If only libs started going "What are we, a bunch of Israelis!?" they'd be much closer to the mark than they had ever been.
My imperial violence is returning from the periphery to the metropole? What the FUCK dude?
I told you about the boomerang, bro. I warned you, dawg by Frantz Fanon
But I threw the boomerang as hard as I could, how could it come back??
*Hitting myself in the dick with a hammer*
"How could the Middle East do this to me?!"
I skimmed through it and it is so much worse than I thought it would be. It is basically "you know ICE is a group of masked extremists that love killing, which is why they are just like Hammas. Oh yeah, sometimes the IDF gets trigger happy and kills a lot of journalists and civilians 'by accident', but Hammas is the correct comparison."
Funny since ICE is trained by the IOF.
What are we, a bunch of Arabs?
B-b-b-b-boomerang!
Welcome to the middle west
It's because much like the Middle East, America is now destabilizing Minneapolis.
Beat me before I could make a boomerang joke
We're supposed to be defending American freedom thousands of miles away from American soil
Always count of Thomas Friedman to have the dumbest idea possible
This article serves the purpose of trying to preemptively deflect the possibility of comparing ICE to Israel, but rather to project against groups US and Israel fights.

Edit: the headline is fake, but it's a real article.
It still has this headline on their main page, but it changes to something different when you click it
oh my god lmao 
Someone mentioned the guy changed the headline, but the article is apparently the same.
Changed title it seems:
Minneapolis and Gaza Now Share the Same Violent Language

Welcome to the middle west
Then why should anyone listen to you now?
Thomas The L Word Friedman with an 11th inning humdinger of an article wrote baseballely.
