I'm scrolling through his twitter feed and I see his reaction to the Israel Embassy Shooting from last month and Jose Vega blames the shooting on the PSL and implies that the shooting was antisemitic. The Israel Embassy shooting killed 2 people who worked for the Israel Embassy, one of them wasn't even Jewish. Jose Vega says that the actions of Netanyahu are not reflective of employees of the Israel Embassy. The actions of the employees of the Israel Embassy are not reflective of the actions of the Israel government ??? What ???
It was revealed in the shooter's manifesto that he didn't even like the PSL and Jose refers to the shooter as "maniac PSL member". Yet, he wants people to think that PSL members are "maniacs".
He says that Israelis don't support Netanyahu, which is overwhelming not true, to imply that Israelis don't support Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is also very much false. He's setting up the Nuremberg defense for the IOF.
This is not something an anti-Zionist would say. Jose is doing the Liberal Zionist framing of placing all blame of the genocide in Gaza on Netanyahu, to wash Zionists of their crimes. He's saying in this quote that Israelis are not responsible for the genocide in Gaza, only Netanyahu.
You've heard of Democrats, The Lesser Evil. Now there's Jose Vega, The Lesser Lesser Evil. Jose Vega doesn't even identify as a communist or socialist. He goes around telling people that he's an "American" and "Patriot".
In my other comment I also point out that Jose Vega allies with Jimmy Dore and Jackson Hinkle.
he is saying not “all” israelis support this genocide. which is hardly an evil take. just go through haertz and you will see plenty of news to support this.
and i didn’t say he is the right candidate just that he good enough to not loose against torres.
i will categorize it as a avg human with few weird misinformed opinions vs absolute garbage pimp ritchie who will happily give his kids to pedophiles for campaign money. harris vs trump was “child murdering turd wrapped in rainbow flag” vs “pro-child murdering turd wrapped in confederate flag”
