Shout out to the Filipinos who got fed up and fought back against US Occupation on Feb 4, 1899. Starting the long Philippine American War, and struggle against what Dylan Rodriguez has termed a genocide driven by white supremacy.

Don’t drag the Philippines into this ADL scam about “antisemitism.” If you critique a state’s military for its ongoing genocide and apartheid, it’s not antisemitism, it’s pro-human rights.
