Peaceful protests are being quashed by the literal US military/national guard. There are videos of police specifically targeting people with signs/flags they don't like with "less lethals".
Before that campus protests calling for an end to genocide were quashed by local police.
People who attend either of these protests are being jailed and/or deported.
"Free speech" is a myth.
I didn't go on shit and I don't support US imperialist actions.
We were attacked at home because of previous imperialist actions, and we would have continued said imperialism whether attacked or not, that was a convenient excuse.
I would understand people cheering and I would direct my anger to the people who caused the retaliation to happen, my own government.
why are you defending America destroying your country and Israel doing the same/trying to do the same to other countries though? This make no sense.
That's not enough.
Bots and people like asmongold who have no actual human connection and stay in their basement all day don't typically go to parades.
MAD is only a detergent if everyone has Nuclear bombs.
If the US and west get to keep their bombs, despite being the US being the only country to have ever used one, then everyone should be able to have nuclear bombs.
The thing is, the US and west don't actually want to prevent nuclear weapons from being used, they specifically want to prevent them being used against them and their allies, while maintaining the threat of using them against their enemies.
Hmm, I didn't know lemmy had Mossad infiltrators.
It's worth noting that they found either Newer or outdated information.
From my own search, direcly from the Congress.Gov page on HR485.
"Whereas, while shouting ``Free Palestine'', an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails;"

It's not a "complete lie". We should be willing to fact check, but we must also be mindful not rush to jump to such harsh dismissals.
I don't know the reason for the discrepancy, but this is specifically from Congress.Gov House res. 485.
"Whereas, while shouting ``Free Palestine'', an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails;"
Full text and link below.

in the United States, committed a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado,
against marchers peacefully demonstrating in support of the release of
hostages held captive by Hamas;
**Whereas, while shouting Free Palestine'', an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails;** Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman stated he planned the terrorist attack for more than a year, wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were
all dead'', and would ``do it [conduct an attack] again'';

Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman was issued a tourist visa to travel to the United

not intend to remain in the United States permanently, Mohammed Sabry
Soliman filed an asylum application with U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services;
Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman failed to depart the United States prior to the
expiration of his authorized period of stay pursuant to his visa;
Whereas the case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman highlights the need to aggressively
vet aliens who apply for visas to determine whether they endorse,
espouse, promote, or support antisemitic terrorism or engage in other

removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of

Soliman multiple times since 2022: Now, therefore, be it

Yes, that was the purpose of the curated distinction. These labels were understood in the past and intentionally muddied to disrupt unity against them.
So now, for example, instead of a liberal party and a labor party, you have 2 liberal parties. One who identifies as "liberal" while the other identifies as "conservative" but they ultimately serve the same purpose.
They want to pass the narrative that liberalism isn't a conservative ideology and vice versa because that serves their purposes. They want people to fight over which brand of liberalism they prefer, not whether they want liberalism at all.
So true! Everyone knows that fascist ideology is both internally consistent and based on a kind and forgiving nature.
If the Jews, Communist, Gays etc just waved German flags the Nazis wouldn't have killed anyone!
Iran are definitely targeting air bases and other militarized targets which are regions Israel has a media blackout on so we don't hear about them as much and only hear about impacts in Tel-Aviv which is a militarized "civilian" zone (human shields was always projection of their own policies).
When you start equating expressions of solidarity using a flag of another country with literal Nazi flags, you might need to reconsider how far down the nationalist/facsist pipeline you are yourself.
Also I didn't say people could or couldn't wave Nazi flags today.
I said the Nazi regime doesn't care what flag you wave, you won't win their sympathy and be spared/stop their actions by waving their flag.
