Trump Refuses to Disavow Death Threats Against Ilhan Omar

Post by _Gunnar »

Trump continues to get more and more despicable and hateful. He has openly incited violence against Ilhan Omar, and refuses to disavow or condemn death threats made against her. She is much more patriotic than Trump ever was or ever will be. Justly criticizing Netanyahu's hard right conservative stance, cruelty and bigotry against Palestinians is not the same thing as anti-Semitism. Since Arabs are also a Semitic people, Netanyahu is actually more anti-Semitic than Omar is.

I'm not saying that Israel doesn't deserve to exist or that Hamas is not deserving of criticism. Their hard stance and their own despotic corruption is also exploiting and harming Palestinians under their rule, but this does not justify the Israelis killing innocent, unarmed Palestinians (including women and children) protesting their horrible situation, and deliberately blocking attempts to provide them with much needed humanitarian aid and food. I wish Hamas and the Israeli government would get together and work towards relieving the suffering, hardship and injustice to which Palestinians are continually being subjected.

ETA: There wasn't always so much enmity between Jews and Arabs. There really isn't any good reason for such enmity to continue to exist. They ought to regard themselves like brothers and sisters to each other, as both groups are actually Semitic in origin.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

The thing about Trump is that he has so many faults (liar, idiot, fraud, cheat, glutton, braggart, prideful, thug, etc etc etc), it's hard to focus only on how much of an asshole he really is.

It's the Jews fault Gunnar. Maybe someday you can find a final solution to the Jewish question.

Saying that the policy of the Israeli government is the fault of the Jews is as dumb as saying that the policies of the Trump White House is the fault of the Americans. Even MORE stupid in fact, since there are probably more Jews who are not citizens of Israel than Jews who are.

The sad thing is that nobody can tell if you are being serious (considering you pay homage to the ethnic cleanser, Adolf Hitler, with your screen name) or if you are just saying that tongue in cheek in a pitiful attempt at being clever. Since you are such a loathsome, pathetically impotent racist and shallow uneducated tool who has accused me of being a white jew based on the fact that you can only imagine a white person, like me, who you consider "disgusting, immoral, devoid of honor" (I take pride in the fact that someone like you feels that way about me, by the way) as being a "white jew", Im guessing you probably do blame the Jews for a lot of what you see wrong in the world. That said, the Palestinians are more brown and, being the racist you are, you are probably automatically jumping to the defense of the "whiter" group in this particular conflict....

So I guess you can't blame either one of those parties in this dispute can you? Let me help you out. It's the white mans fault. Does that feel better? I know that sounds kind of irrational since there are no white men involved in this particular dispute. But it still needs to be a white man's fault to protect the mainstream media axioms and narratives so why not blame Trump and those who support him?

Unlike you, I don't need to live my life constantly trying to find people (in your case, non-whites) to blame for my failures, lack of success and unhappiness as a human being. You, in your pathetically myopic and uneducated views of the world, seem to only be content when you can blame someone, or group of people (usually of a different race), for the pathetic state of your $hiatty, unenviable life and you seem to apply that same, shallow attitude to every issue you selectively follow in the world (I get that you only really care about the things racist, right wing rags like breitbart tell you to care about). Blame the non-whites.

How about this, you racist douche canoe, both groups have done things to escalate the conflict and both groups are fault. Unlike the pathetic state of your own sad life, which can only be blamed on you, often, large scale economic and political conflicts can't always be "blamed" solely on one, darker skinned, group like you choose to believe. Jeezus, your ignorance and lack of critical thinking skills seem to have no boundaries.
