    Literally anyone born in another country is ipso facto an enemy of the Glorious American Empire.

    Your very existence is an affront to the sensibilities of our nation’s leadership.

      Lemmy leans left / anti-imperialist, and the left generally considers the Palestinian Authority traitors or collaborationists, somewhat analogous to Irish Freestaters

        Not so much that they want Israeli settlers to murder them. The PA his historically operated as a kind-of Vichy Republic to the Israeli fascist regime. But the outright genocide that the IDF is facilitating goes well beyond what any PA official has ever condoned, much less participated in. This is the difference between a police state and a gas chamber.

        Nobody on “The Left” is advocating that mid-level Palestinian bureaucrats be starved to death under siege or tortured to death by tweaked out Settlers.
