Not such an innocent phrase then?


He seemed alright but I don't really watch CNN


I see the alt-right and hamas/hezbollah apologists are already out in full force the gaslighting has begun

Who is apologizing for hamas/hezbollah? And Hezbollah is Lebanese, not Palestinian. :dahell:

The phrase has been used multiple ways by multiple parties to mean multiple different things. It's basic meaning is just the entire area of Israel. There's no "secret" about what Hill meant, listen to the damn speech, he spells out exactly what he's talking about.

This is like one of those damn conspiracies where people were claiming that Obama's words were secret Muslim codewords. Either Hill meant what he said during his speech....or he was lying the rest of the time and only let his true intentions known by slipping out a codephrase in order to give comfort to his terrorist allies for the purpose of...what exactly? :heh:

I only pay attention to dog whistle claims when there's actually something to be gained. When people start talking about secret underlying meanings like this I'm all :camby:

You cape so hard for Israel its fukking disgusting. Go suck Nethanyahu and the rest of the Likud parties dikk since you love Israel and their polices so much. So critiquing Israel makes you a supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas huh.

The phrase predates Hamas and support for a democratic, secular unitary state isnt a Hamas concotion.



Peter Beinart is far from a radical on this issue ( and is Jewish) and also agrees that this is an invented controversy - among other people.

The conspiracy theories are the idiotic stuff like Illuminati, Jews secretly running America, George Soros responsible for everything that ever happens, etc.

The Israel lobby is just another lobby that exerts an undue influence on legislators, like the gun lobby or farmers. It's just that they care more about optics so when people say stuff they don't like in public they have to get so stupid extra with it.

It ain't even the "Jewish lobby" because a large proportion of Jews both in the USA and Israel aren't down with Israeli policy like that. It's just this caping for a particular set of Israeli hawks and their far-right American supporters.
Lol.

Posters on this site. I'm aware of that.

Is one of those meanings the eradication of Jews?


Yeah, I don't wander down that rabbit hole either I'll leave that to people finding conspiracies in the letters in their soup

Uh, I actually don't cape for Israel. I can't stand Bibi or Likud. I don't think it works that way.

I'm not comfortable with the genocide of Israeli Jews the way a lot of people are on this forum are as I've said time and time again. Don't bother denying it.

Palestinians are used as pawns and it's a failing of the Muslim world. The lack of self awareness on it's part is beyond cult like. Palestinians have been kept in third countries as refugees for generations in dismal conditions because there is no self reflection.

From an article I just read it seems like groups are mad about divestment statements Hill made at some UN group.

The irony.

Expelling people off their land is genocide. So you support genocide but only against Palestinians.

I think you're looking for ethnic cleansing but there are still Palestinians in Israel. I want equality for Palestinians. Shame on you.


whataboutism isn't worth my time

i think if he hadnt said that phrase they wouldve found something else to make this controversy over.
if corey lewandowski can make fun of a migrant child with down syndrome in a cage and keep his gig at cnn this firing should never have happened.
