A foot patrol of the French unit operating within the UNIFIL reserve force came under fire from an Israeli army position while inspecting an earth barrier recently erected by Israeli forces in the Wadi Qatmoun area, on the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Rmeish, according to the National News Agency (NNA).

    This argument around here is usually used to criticize pro-Palestinians for not falling in line with the DNC, with the idea being that they’re all MAGAs or Russian trolls who wanted to sow division inside the anti-Trump coalition and don’t actually care about Palestine. If that assumption was true, the number of people in online criticizing the US government’s support of Israel would go down significantly after the election and especially after Trump’s inauguration. Well, at least around here that didn’t happen, but liberal pseudo-Zionists really like to pretend it did because otherwise they’d have to admit they were wrong. Anyway what I’m trying to say is: It might be a good idea to specify that you’re talking about MAGA next time, because otherwise many people here will assume you’re talking about the anti-Zionist left as that’s the overwhelmingly more common version here.

      That is way too construed for me, who even thinks like that? I just tried to poke fun at their hypocrisy, apparently I have to specify an allegiance when doing a shit take

        Dude, I envy you. I’ve had to balk at the absurdity of this for months now. It’s less of a thing now, but it was really common back when trump was in his Rivera of the Middle East phase. The frequency of dunces being like “why are pro-Palestinians so quite hurr durr” and another guy coming and saying “becuz they’re trolls hurr durr” like an echo chamber only held up by sheer force of will was fucking ridiculous.
