Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Compare this with the Pro-Palestine protest that old AOC claimed was "antisemitic", but that neither her nor the articles about it could seem to specify what they actually said or did that was so offensive as to constitute antisemitism. Typical liberal projection, I suppose.

“The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation,” she said.

She sounds pretty Pro-Palestine to me

a rally for Palestinian lives is bigoted and callous, especially while Israel gears up for genocide?

I didn't know pro-Palestine was using language like “It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity” as a blanket statement for a pro-Palestine rally.

Bear in mind, AOC made a big stink a year or two back about voting 'No' on a military aid package to Israel that she later changed to 'present' (the aid package passed the House on a vote of like 410-9).

She's a pragmatic succdem who isn't going to do anything for Palestine, and after that flame up she isn't even going to bother vocally supporting it because she fears for her seat more then she fears for dead Palestinians.

yeah totally, pro-Palestine is when you call a rally for Palestinian lives "hatred and antisemitism" and "bigotry and callousness"

"Both sides" bullshit is not very pro-palestinian

Surely AOC will denounce this protest as callous and bigoted, right? clueless
