Fair. How about "MAGA is a terrorist mob" then?

The problem is that when politicians like Chuck Schumer say "pro-Israel" what they mean is "I am in favor of the conflict continuing," if you read in-between the lines. He is not taking the same humanistic approach you are. I really can't emphasize enough how much Netanyahu and Israeli Jews writ large want the conflict to not only continue but to escalate (in case it needs to be said, no not all Jews, just specifically the ones benefiting from and perpetuating Israel's ethno-nationalism, and who also happen to own most of the legal and political power in Israel). That is to say, he enjoys massive support in his own country. Virtually the only major power that is backing them on this is the US. Everywhere else, Netanyahu is internationally recognized as a WANTED war criminal.
Moreover, I take issue with the notion that Israel is simply retaliating against some unprovoked terror attack. October 7th didn't just, like, happen in a vacuum. I could make comparisons to 9/11 and post-9/11 America--I wouldn't be the first to compare these things and it isn't a perfect comparison by any means--but a history lesson is perhaps outside the scope of a comment like this.
I'm not sure I follow. Did you mean to reply to a different comment?
Just in case: "I hate establishment Dems." =/= "I like Republicans." I have enough disdain in my heart for both. The post is about an establishment Dem, so that's what my comment was about too. I was directly replying to Chuck's remarks that "(his) job is to keep the left pro-Israel."
His job is to keep the left pro-genocide?
Lord, I hate establishment Dems.
Exactly. No, it isn't a death camp, but these detention centers are the canary in the coal mine and I'd argue it would be foolish to make light of them, considering everything that is happening.
At this point it might be easier to list all the companies that don't support conservatives.
Reddit can't crash and burn fast enough. What a joke.
