Multiple things can be true without this statement by Alonso being true.
We can, and should, acknowledge that Palestinians are suffering in Gaza. And we should do what is possible to alleviate that suffering.
Hamas can, and should, have agency for its actions that have exacerbated such harm such as not adhering to their agreed upon ceasefire requirements to disarm, stopping the taxation of shelters, stealing the materials for shelters, digging up the pipes meant to drain the excess water, and their overall desire to harm Palestinians.
For some reason Alonso only ever talks about Palestinian suffering while ignoring one of the main causes of that suffering as a means to demonize the Jews. Why is that?
Lmao I love that Martin Luther became such a virulent Jew-hater because he failed to convert three rabbis.
No, really. That's what happened. He tried to convert three rabbis, the rabbis responded by presenting a Talmudic interpretation of the Tanakh, and then Luther got big mad
I can only infer that she thinks that Mizrahim would happily reintegrate into the Arab world, as if they DON'T resent Arabs a billion times more than Ashkenazim do lmfao
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*catches breath*
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kick rocks, @macklemore lmfao
A spokesperson for MSG Entertainment responds to Macklemore saying the venue rejected his "Free Palestine" tour:
“We have some of the busiest venues in the world with extremely limited availability and he’s not an arena level act.”

The funniest thing is that Macklemore is making a free speech argument.
No, Macklemore: a private venue refusing to host you (as is their right) does not meaningfully hinder your ability to speak freely.
He just has an insane victim complex lmfao
Macklemore has accused nine major U.S. music venues of refusing to host his “Free Palestine” charity tour, including Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum.
“After weeks of reaching out, nine major American arenas have turned us down,” Macklemore wrote on Instagram. “By mid-September, we received available dates at these arenas through the end of the year. But once they found out these were my benefit shows for Palestine, those dates were suddenly off the table. The doors were closed. The conversations were all different, but the result was the same. The shows were not going to be allowed to happen in these venues.”
“In over 20 years of touring, I’ve never experienced anything like this,” he wrote. “I’d rather lose every opportunity in this industry than spend another day protecting people who value their business relationships with Israel more than they value Palestinian human life.”
“We live in a country that prides itself on freedom of speech. Yet we’ve reached a point where a handful of billionaires can decide which causes are acceptable, which voices are welcome and which human lives are worth defending,” he later wrote. “Today it’s Palestine. What will it be tomorrow?”

Like, come on. Pakistan was created completely artificially and born of the mass displacement of tens of millions of people. It committed genocide against Bengalis in Bangladesh, and represses numerous minorities through force of arms.
This is absolutely NOT an own 💀
I am adopting an approach to politics that I can only describe as being MST3K-esque: looking at the political scene as if I'm a passive observer so as to retain my values, think independently and maintain a genuine position on what I do choose to discuss.
The good news is that this is probably a temporary phenomenon.
As Celebrini and Smith age, the boy band-esque adulation they receive will certainly wane. Can't wait for that lmfao
He's right.
The people voted Democrat first and foremost because they don't want chaos anymore.
Jumping into impeachment shenanigans would only further perpetuate that chaos.
The Democrats have a mandate. If they don't want to squander it, they'll be smart and measured.
