Andrew Yang: I'm standing with the people of Israel

American politicians being trash cans who support ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism. Let's collectively pretend to be shocked 

[Starlit 68]

I’m standing with the citizens of both countries who I’m sure by now are exhausted with the trauma of their “leaders” having a d*ck contest. 
 

Any form of violence is unacceptable. 

[alsemanche 97,796]

Also let's not forget that the US literally finances and trains the IDF. Of course they'll support them lmao

Now here's a decent statement from an American politician:

 

[Regina George 59,387]

Hamas is the terrorist but Israel is not when they attack and kill 20+ people including children and when they steal people’s land for years? What is this world we’re living in? 

[Pennywise 36,080]

These types of "Democrats" disgust me more than Republicans (or let's say centrists and right-wingers to make it applicable worldwide) because republicans/right-wingers at least own who they are, while these people are just wolves in sheep's clothing 
 

[Aphasic 4,033]

The biggest issue is that the religious affiliation of the Israeli population as of 2019 was 74.2% Jewish, 17.8% Muslim, 2.0% Christian, and 1.6% Druze.

Jews believe that they have the right to the land because their God promised to them that that was their land. The UN and the world have villainized Muslims specially in that part of the world. They label them as "terrorists" but when Muslims get attacked the attackers are "just defending themselves".

I hope one day all religions can be abolished and we can find a reasonable way for all humans to coexist in the only place we have, our planet. 

These videos while not fully expressed nor show the full extent of the reality, they show some good insight as to what is happening in that part of the world.

Edited: I want to make clear that my problem is with Israel, and not Israelis. I just think only expressing support for Israel right now-specifically Israel, and not carefully wording it as Israelis-without discussing Palestine is f*cked when the Palestinians are the main ones being victimized at this time. All violence is clearly wrong.

Credit to Bernie for being factual, forthright, and more. He's always been good on Palestine. It's insane that modern day apartheid is going on right now.

I'm angry at politicians being chickensh*t and refusing to discuss Israel's crimes, but I'm also angry (and I know this might come off as two sides, but I'm not trying to be that way) at some activists/pols who are spreading a lot of misleading or straight up wrong news. The truth matters, because it provides easy ammunition to the people defending Israel's actions as they go "well, they were wrong about x so they're wrong about y" (even when y is true).

[StarstruckIllusion 53,563]

Not this… but after his wishy-washy response ab Palestine on Krystal, Kyle and Friends, I’m not surprised. Violence is cringe of course but put all the blame on leadership for letting it get this far. 

[dit 46,738]

Of course they call out one form of violence but NEVER speak out significantly about the terrorism inflicted onto Palestinians by an actual country's military. Double standards. I guess lives of certain people far outweigh those of others.

Corporate politicians supporting the side with money, what else is new.

Edit: I’m not saying all Jews are rich, just that Israel as a country is very rich  and always has the worldwide corporate world behind them, justifying their every move, no matter how cruel it may be. And that is messed up on so many levels. 

[StarstruckIllusion 53,563]

It’s getting weeeirrrdd 😭

 

[ItWasntLaauv 6,392]

Yikes, I used to really like him and his viewpoints a lot, but his politics have been getting weirder and weirder. 

[PartySick 172,416]

That's surprising coming from him

I mean, I don't agree with the violence on either side, especially when innocents are hurt, but don't side with freaking Israel dude 

[SevenWonder 4,743]

Like in the case of the poor Irani who was "honor" murdered, we once again have religion showing what a wonderful part of the human experience it provides. Here's a hint Yang: Both sides are f-ing horrible. Not the people, but the religious idiocy that controls them.
