    Okay but do you seriously think, in this political climate where everyone is cucked by Israel, that he could have gotten anywhere near the attention and support to win his election by not saying Oct 7 was bad? He was the most progressive/socialist candidate on the field, and honestly it’s stupid that he has to repeatedly talk about Israel in the first place, when he had zero power to change anything about our relations with Israel/the genocide.

    And even then, the most I’ve ever seen him ‘denounce imperialism’ is to say Oct 7 was bad, which if you think that crosses the line you are out of touch with our political reality. Hell, I think in one of the debates he refused to even do the whole ‘i condemn hamas’ bit, and was pretty much fully critical of Israel

      He won his primary without capitulating to Zionists. So yes. We already know from Corbyn that Zionists don’t care. They went into a hissy fit over the second part of his post.

      Zohran would have done good to shut up but he had to suck off the occupation.
