Partly true with reference to white nationalists. However, the occupy wall street protests also started under Obama because he worked hand in glove with big business and the USA fell to 1920s levels of inequality. But sure, don't mention capitalism🙄

"We grant people different rights based on their genetic heritage and on which scrap of land they happened to be born on. That’s mad, isn’t it?"
I just think, when debating immigration and so on, that we should try not to lose sight of the fact that "nationality" is a made up thing.

Why does nationality matter, anyway?
Deciding someone's legal rights based on a nebulous combination of birthplace and parentage is a bit weird

AIPAC gets most of its funding from right-wing evangelicals in the USA. This is the big point people miss. Zionism is powerful because of Christian-right politics in the USA & western imperialist interests in the Middle East rather than because of a "Jewish lobby" that secretly controls everything.
Gaza is under heavy bombing right now. Israel is a terrorist state with AIPAC control of Washington and London. Stop electing politicians that accept AIPAC money as they are compromised. Boycotts work!

Putin operates in a similar way to Netanyahu, he claims the land Russia occupies is part of his genetic, religious & cultural ancestry to normalise greater Russia discourse. Even Crimea, which he currently demands from Ukraine, is an example of Russian settler-colonialism on foreign soil.
