What the Trump administration is doing to the US and what he is eagerly helping Netanyahu to do to the Palestinians are of a piece. Both are criminal, immoral campaigns against domestic and international law, causing immense suffering. Yes, it’s exhausting to contend with two major catastrophes at once. But we don’t have the time or the privilege to put either one aside.

      I’m really trying to figure out how this piece is propaganda. What, specifically, about it is propagandistic?

      Gaza is an issue that many Americans are passionately furious about. And while Booker’s speech was great in general, and I’m happy he’s at least trying stuff, I was also disappointed that a man known for his moral clarity didn’t focus on Gaza more. Is that propaganda? Please, help me understand.

        I get it, I really do. The plight of the people of Gaza is terrible.

        But the current US administration is never going to do anything about that. Never. They’ll only make the suffering worse.

        I think the “propaganda” accusation is in regards to OP posting endless divisive rhetoric against anyone going against the current US administration.

        It doesn’t help Gaza to keep the current administration, and just because someone doesn’t mention Gaza doesn’t mean they don’t care about Gaza. Context matters.

          Their very next post (to this community no less) is attacking the Trump administration
