As always, Sanders will be approached, he will fold and withdraw the proposal. After all, he can’t make sad his “good friend” Joe Biden.

“I’ll believe it when I see it” is a better response than assuming he won’t actually do this, or patting him on the back before he does.

Resolution gets dropped or resolution is voted against. It’s not a leap to assume these parlor tricks will end the same way as they always have.

id bet money that he explicitly got permission to do this and they already known exactly how every member will vote on the resolution and that it will fail. Theyll probably allow members in districts with high muslim populations to vote for it so they can say they “tried”

Israel is too important to American interests for the American ruling elite to simply let this happen though.

At this point, Sanders is a psyop meant to sheepherd leftists and left-leaning people into the Democratic Party. There’s absolutely no reason to give him the benefit of the doubt.

On the contrary, there’s very good reason to expose him for what he is. And based on the past, either he withdraws the proposal, or he changes it to make it milktoast. The only way it gets through to the floor, is if it’s already known beforehand that it will be rejected, and the DNC has allowed this to happen before, to boost Sander’s profile so he can work for them more effectively.

This whole thing is performative theater before the elections, to attract Muslims and leftists to the booths for Kamala, and we should call it as such, instead of tone-policing.

Palestine

Create post

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose “defence force”'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
