I was rooting for him until the last three words of the headline.

As best I can tell, the most racist zionists are usually American-born Israelis.

I do my best to always use the word Zionist before the word Israeli.

Israel’s secularism is irrelevant to the overall racist ideology of Zionism that permeates Israeli society.

I’m not referring to powerless, mouth-breathing, NEETs who normally lurk forums.

But I’m referring to comments from actual members of the Israeli Knesset, public statements from people like the OP, printed editorials in mainstream publications, and modern Israeli celebrities.

When you read through the translations not meant for western audiences - the racism pops out disturbingly. It’s such a part of their culture that they don’t even notice it as such. Zionists really don’t view people in the West Bank or Gaza as humans.

A few months ago I started using Google Translate to read what Israelis are saying amongst each other in their mainstream publications and forums.

My. God. Levels of entitlement and racism that would make a Klansman blush.

Sure, a lot of them want a cease-fire to get the hostages back … and most don’t like Netanyahu … but the average Israeli Zionist is a racist monster.

We all understand where this is going: They’re going to fire bomb the entire Gaza strip - and then have Israeli settlers methodically sift through the wreckage to murder every survivor Hamas Terrorist.

Here’s the answer: No.

Medicare is Federally managed, Medicade is state-by-state. To qualify for Medicaid in most states you have to be at or near poverty levels of income - that’s around $11k to $15,000 a year maximum in order to qualify for it.

Heard. And that’s for people with health insurance and the ability to pay deductibles / co-pays for care in the first place. Everyone else is kinda fucked.

Puerto Rico is just the canary in the coal mine. The entire US healthcare system is on the brink of collapse.

If ever there was something that will predictably backfire on Republicans would be if they actually have Hunter Biden testify.

Br’er Rabbit was was born and raised in the briar patch.

It’s a simple theology: “Me first. Fuck you. Every man for himself.”

While it fits great on a bumper sticker, it’s a suboptimal strategy to build an economy, nation-state, or anything really.

There were more than enough Democrats in Congress in 2008 to make that happen.

There are more than enough Democrats now to make it enough of an issue that it becomes part of the public conversation.

There are more than enough Democrats now that could make an internal party rule that prohibits Democrats from ever lobbying for pharmaceutical or insurance companies.

However, the Democratic Party is far more motivated to kneecap actual healthcare reforms than actually implement what they say they believe in.

Love making complicated, beautiful cocktails for guests. Zero interest in being a bartender at a high-end cocktail bar until / unless I retire.

Democrats are just as committed to this for-profit driven healthcare system as Republicans are. They’re just a little bit more polite about it.

The US had to twist Egypt’s arm to get them to accept refugees, so that doesn’t explain things entirely.

The reason why neighboring states are reluctant to accept refugees is that they know they will never be able to return, and the influx of people would destabilize their own societies.

The solution isn’t for other countries to start accepting refugees - it’s that the Israelis need to stop murdering them.

The problem is that the Palestinians are stuck in Gaza because no one really cares about them.

Lots people across the world care about the plight of Palestinians. The US effectively bribes the ruling classes of several middle-eastern countries to prevent popular will from spilling over into open warfare to oppose Israel’s treatment of the indigenous population. It’s impossible to understand how Israel gets away with what it does without acknowledging this.

The issue isn’t about caring … the problem is that Palestinians, and the broader middle-east generally, are being oppressed by a western-backed settler-colonial movement.

Wasn’t Gaza already surrounded before all this? It’s a giant prison - it even has walls around the perimeter.

This isn’t an invasion - they are resecuring the prison.

You need to be more specific. Are you talking about the civilians inside the prison? Or the civilians outside the prison?
