So, once again, I find myself LAUGHING

Posted: May 23, 2017

Then, I laughed, he must have thought he was in a deli in New York, but then the following comments hit home... he is just lacking insight and brains...

 

"Trump told Israeli officials in a meeting that he 'just got back from the Middle East.'
The Liberal Resistance™ immediately proceeded to make fun of Trump for being an ignorant buffoon, but his comment is actually very insightful: it is a perfect reflection of how Israel is a colonial extension of US/UK imperialism.
Off-the-cuff remarks like this serve as a profound reminder that reactionaries in the West truly see Israel for what it is: a white settler-colonialist ethnostate created by the American and British empires in a formerly colonized region that was carved up by Western capitalist powers 100 years ago.
(Don't forget that Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, explicitly described it as "colonial," and pitched it to murderous British mining magnate Cecil Rhodes for support. He also originally considered Argentina and Uganda / modern Kenya as sites for the colonial project; Palestine only came along later.)"
