More strange and/or foul reactions

A demand for 'liberation' in the context of the domestic US is just a demand for power.

For 80% of these people, the thrill is in the taboo. Pretty soon they’ll all be into straight missionary…

Illinois Congressman Brad Schneider said that his Capitol office was vandalized on Thursday, with posters of those held in Hamas captivity torn from the wall.

Schneider said that the hostage posters, which included the names and faces of eight American citizens, were shredded and thrown across the hall.

I read somewhere else that the US capital was closed for July 4th, so access was very restricted. I would also think that there would be multiple cameras in the building.

Which is exactly the same demand for every 'outgroup'.

Useless idiots. Netanyahu was being kind.

Liz, no Indians were killed in the making of this war. Go lay down.

The absolute deafness of her comment that Netanyahu has failed to bring hostages home...

And, of course, accepting the Gazan numbers of casualties, ignoring Hamas shooting at relief trucks...

Useful idiot, indeed.

I will never forgive you for putting me in the position of defending Elizabeth Warren, but her reaction is neither strange nor foul. It is the modal position of first world governments.

While I don’t agree with her, it doesn’t really belong in the same photo as, say, people painting threatening messages on the houses of ‘Zionist’ museum board members.

What part of what she said is true and verifiable by someone other than Hamas?

The number of dead?
The prevention of humanitarian aid, starving?
Assigning blame for the hostages being in Gaza on Netanyahu?
Indiscriminate bombing?
Negotiating table - what has Hamas brought to the table?

You want an immediate ceasefire? Israel will give it to you tomorrow - on one condition.

You missed the point. This isn’t the fact check thread.

That's right. It's the "Foul reactions" thread.

You didn't criticize my posting Omar's statement.

You might disagree, but I'd characterize Warren's as foul and inappropriate.

To be fair she is both strange and foul. Even posting her official headshot fits with the purpose of the thread.
