Coming back from the Arrest Herzog rally, I was called out by a gronk for making Palestine my whole identity because I was wearing the vest in my profile pic.
He was wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey, cap and wristbands. In Melbourne.
I couldn't make this shit up.

This photo doesn't do it justice. Thousands behind me. All here to protest the cowardice of Albanese and Wong in encouraging the war criminal Isaac Herzog to visit us.
From the sea to the river, Albanese has a yellow liver. Or something.

Nobody here is saying that Israel is not committing genocide.
Including Sanders.
If he does come out in favour of Israel here, he's dead to me and a lot of others. That's not what you've shown, though.

Maybe not. Doesn't make him a Zionist either.

No. You're dead wrong. Saying that Israel had a right to respond is reasonable. What he almost certainly went on to say was that their response was barbaric, unreasonable, whatever.

Are you shitting me? That's all? Nothing he said there was Zionist or anti-genocide. More to the point, WHST DOES HE SAY AS GTER THE CLIP ENDS? He was cut off.
I'm pretty sure you're arguing in bad faith, because that 47 sec clip is not saying what you claim. At all.

A) He's the first senator to have called it a genocide.
B) That clip isn't playable. It's a picture with a claim. Have you heard him say it? If so, can you share that clip?
