They have spent $100 million dollars this cycle.

Any politician that stands up to AIPAC gets millions (if not tens of millions) raised for their political opponents.

The vast majority of politicians are far too frightened to anger this lobby in an election year.

It's called AIPAC.

Their lobbying power is perfectly legal and immense.

Simply stopping the supply of weapons would stop the war overnight.

No, she is going on Fox News and doing the "both sides" argument while only really criticising Democrats.

Libertarianism is a hell of a drug.

Hezbollah grew out of the brutal occupation of Southern Lebanon by Israel.

Shia initially viewed the Israelis with some optimism because they were not happy Fatah.

Israel's brutal occupation quickly changed that sentiment.

Never saw that but that is hilarious.

It is clear that Israel is trying to start a war with Iran and Hezbollah and drag the United States into it.

This was in the West Bank (Jenin).

What is not discussed in the West is all the spyware that Israeli companies are selling to authoritarian countries.

Of course not.

It was pretty obvious, mate.

Writing war and peace doesn't change that.

“I have had no sympathy from any of the accused. One who was HIV-positive came six times. Not once did my husband express any concern about my health,” she said.

Even if these rapists claims they thought they were participating in some weird sex play, if you knew you were HIV positive, why would you have unprotected sex with anybody?

Their claims reek of bullshit.

In Europe, literal fascists are elected to parliament.

Let's not jerk ourselves into a frenzy here.

Or when the NY Times stops doing puff pieces on Trump or his supporters.

To be fair (and I was a great supporter of Dark Brandon), Joe Biden has been a huge supporter of Israel including derailing Hillary Clinton's attempt to stop settlement construction (when she was secretary of state).

It wasn't "rigged" for Clinton (and I thought she was not a good candidate).

Bernie lost because less people voted for him.

If it wasn't for the undemocratic caucuses, he would have lost earlier. For example, he won the Washington caucus but got crushed in the primary (which had massively higher turn out).

The fact of the matter is that the broader electorate wasn't as left-wing as Lemmy or /r/politics is.

Before social media and the tech giants enshittenified the internet.

It was sarcasm.
