Democratic socialist politicians like Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are right about the violence in Israel and Palestine: we should both be mourning civilian deaths and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation.

    I will add I saw Dylan Burns watch some of Israel’s reporting on Netanyahu. Their media is reporting a situation closer to reshe Israelis are pissed at this situation and want Netanyahu to step down, and not only “this happened under your watch” but they are also talking about the occupation and the IDF response.

    I’m watching the Sunday news this morning, which likely has an average viewer age of 55. America is so eager to go right wing on this. Some Republicans talking about leveling Palestine. Biden not even acknowledging the Palestinians. Corporate news media framing the issue as “can Israel find peace in the middle east? Can they just live in peace at long last?” 😮‍💨

    I am glad we have a handful of authentic people in our representative government. We’ve gotta keep them there and jump at the chance to bring in more, if and when the opportunity arises.

      FAIR put out an article recently that covered the disparity between Israeli media coverage and US media coverage of this situation, noting pretty much the same thing in addition to US papers calling for “national unity.”
