There were many disheartening moments during the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign for progressives who support Palestinian rights. Yet few were quite as deflating as that moment when the ostensibly progressive, leading member of The Squad, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stood at the podium at the Democratic National Convention and told the audience that then-Vice President Kamala Harris was “working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bring the hostages home.”
We knew she was lying. AOC herself knew she was lying. But it was just the message that the crowd—who were more than eager to show their support for the Democrats despite the party’s utter refusal to allow even the most conciliatory and moderate Palestinian voice to be heard—wanted to hear, and they ate it up.

Is this the right place for this? Isn’t this an opinion piece?
It’s just ML propaganda to destroy the west
Yeah, everything is a communist plot, eh Senator McCarthy?
Well, for it to be a communist plot, ML would have to be communist. But they’re just parlor pinks who only care about the genocide in the world that makes the US look bad. All the other genocide is okay.
No one actually gives a shit about your attempt to destroy the Democratic Party so that the republicans keep winning and destroy the country.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. Nobody cares about genocide? No, you simply don’t care about genocide. Enough people cared that it cost Kamala the election. And if Democrats don’t reform their ways, they will never win the White House again. Kamala went against the wishes of her own constituents and put loyalty to Israel over the needs of her own country.
Nah, you fucking love that Trump won. You cheered. He’s going to be worse for Gaza than Biden or Kamala—but you know he will be worse for the US, and that’s why you like him. It’s not at all about the Palestinians, it’s about crushing the west.
“Everybody who wants the genocide to end is a fascist”
Classic
