20. The post above mine claimed, essentially, that Palestinian nationalism amounted to racism

which is quite ironic given the moral outrage that hasbarados summon whenever the "Zionism is racism" UN resolution is raised. But I have learned that hypocrisy is like mothers' milk for some around here.

My best friend in middle school was a Cherokee Indian and he knew what it was like to be oppressed. He was a staunch supporter of Israel.


My best friend in middle school was an Apache Indian who stood seven feet tall and could operate heavy farm machinery remotely using telekinesis. He told me that your best friend was a poser who talked out of his arse.

And yes there are Republicans who support Israel but there are also tons on the far right like Pat Buchanan or David Duke who support "palestine".


Gosh, that line sounds familiar, in fact that precise sentence is invoked on an almost weekly basis by a regular poster here.

Even Republicans don't want to bring back slavery or take away women's sufferage while the extreme right does which is probably why they get along so well with the "palestinians".


Amazing, that same sentence is a regular missive from that very same poster. Maybe you are long lost twins.
