If the subject trying to help In your previous statement is AOC my comment still stands.

If its you I don't see how you are trying to help? AOC has been running defence in her own capacity for Israel: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/monday-rep-aoc-host-livestream-antisemitism-and-fight-democracy

In this stream she conflates anti-zionism with antisemitism.

She lost support from the DSA: https://www.dsausa.org/statements/status-of-dsa-national-endorsement-for-rep-ocasio-cortez/

However, members have raised their concerns regarding a number of her votes, including a vote in favor of H.Res.888, conflating opposition to Israel’s “right to exist” with antisemitism. AOC also co-signed a press release on April 20, 2024, that “support[s] strengthening the Iron Dome and other defense systems”
...
Finally, AOC recently hosted a public panel with leaders from the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, lobbyists for the IHRA definition of antisemitism. On this panel, anti-Zionism and antisemitism were conflated and boycotting Zionist institutions was condemned. This sponsorship is a deep betrayal to all those who’ve risked their welfare to fight Israeli apartheid and genocide through political and direct action in recent months, and in decades past.

She seems to do this for the love of the game.

I don’t argue with dishonest people.

Have a good day.

Is that why you have zero self awareness?

What part of what I said was dishonest?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The part where you referenced the outside world. You were a guest at the mind palace de Jumbie and you just tracked in all that dirt!

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

Shit I keep doing that! Oh well, nevertheless.

You just can’t face that you support genocide. The dissonance is building up
