    Omg, it’s so obvious now, I don’t know why I didn’t put this together before.

    “We better defend Israel because we don’t want em here.”

      It should be obvious, but it’s like ole’ Malcom X said - the purpose of the media is to make you love the oppressor and hate the oppressed. Nowhere is that more true than the brain-warping propaganda we have been fed in regards to Israel for decades.

      If you take a look at all the countries that have always been in support of the very idea of Israel - Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Australia, Apartheid-era South Africa and, of course, the US - it becomes patently clear that the most rabidly pro-Israel countries are all countries with deep histories of white supremacism, antisemitism and, very importantly, colonialism.

      It is no coincidence - the people who created Israel and runs it to this very day learned their “westernism” from the best in the genocidal colonialism business.
