    “Preliminary reports today indicate that the White House is moving to declare Mexico a terrorist narco-state, with threats to invade and restore democracy.”

    Considering how the president represents her people, I’m not surprised. Mexicans do oppose to the Palestine genocide by the Israel military forces. It’s obviously not unanimous, some pro-Israel genocide state people do exist.

      Part of what drew me to the old site in ye olde 2013 was that it was the largest platform that wasn’t shitty about this specific subject.

      Funny to see this is now the standard expectation for that place. Look how they massacred my boy

        Plenty of Hasbara in Reddit these days combing through any Israel- Palestine conflict.

        As someone who grew up in Ireland, I know for a fact that Ireland is one of the first countries to support Israeli statehood and then the two state solution. As a matter of fact, one of Ireland’s ministers is a Jew who later on served as advisor to one of the Israeli political party that will eventually rule the country: the Likud party. Unfortunately, with ultra-Zionism now taking hold on Israeli society, Ireland recognise modern Israel’s attempt to genocide Palestinians so there is a rift between Ireland and Israel.

        Fast forward to present day, when the Irish parliament drew up a bill to ban goods from Israeli occupied territories, comments in Reddit swarmed like ants accusing Ireland of historical antisemitism/anti-Zionism and perpetuating the myth that then Irish prime minister, Eamon De Valera, sent condolences upon hearing the news of Hitlers death. These comments have been heavily upvoted. However, they conveniently and purposefully forget said Ireland’s history of supporting Israeli statehood and close political ties with the country’s early days.

          They have it more much difficult right now, because Mexico’s president is Jewish, so they are basically calling her a race traitor

    I really feel like this is more of a middle finger to the US than anything, but I’ll take it.

    Well this wasn’t in my bingo card.

    I mean, if Russia and Ukraine can both agree in recognizing Palestine as a state maybe the rest of the world (USA) needs to take a hint

    Fuck yeah! Never been more proud of our southern neighbor. Hard to be proud of anything the U.S. does anymore.

      I wouldn’t mind moving since Mexico has a much higher quality of life than the US does right now.
