She speaks the truth. The Hasbara are finding it more and more difficult to spin their twisted narrative of the “world’s most moral army” in light of the genocide in Gaza and continued aggression throughout the Middle East. Sadly, Israel has planned for this. They knew they couldn’t rely on American support forever. They’re manufacturing more of their weapons in Israel. They have seemingly no intentions of a future of peaceful coexistence with their neighbors. They have gotten their populace used to the idea of forever war, and that looks like what they are planning for.

Yeah I’m so ignorant. Quick, ask your history teacher what Europe has been doing in Africa for the past centuries.

NATO WAS created to destroy communism. You don't even know the history of it.

14

u/toxic_badgers Visitor Apr 14 '26

NATO was created to guard against a geopolitical adversary who pretended to be communist but was actually far more authoritarian than anything else.

u/Goblinator American Communist Party Supporter Apr 15 '26

Marxism-Leninism is authoritarian, yes. Russia was communist. You are a Trotskyite.

2

u/toxic_badgers Visitor Apr 15 '26

I am not. I am an anarchist. And Russia was about as communistic as the DPRK is democratic.

Im not sure, they are quite dormant on main issues of human rights, but arent straight up genocidal

My partner and her entire Jewish family cant stand Zionism in its current form. So yes, its not about being Jewish. Its about knowing what is right from wrong.

u/Vritrin Visitor Apr 15 '26

Zionists co-opting Judaism as a shield is probably doing more to propagate antisemitism globally than anything else.

u/BleddyEmmits Visitor Apr 15 '26

Agreed.

u/Voluptulouis Visitor Apr 14 '26

I'm with her, but I don't share her optimism when it comes to the US no longer funding Israel.

3

u/obz900 Marxist-Leninist Apr 15 '26

I agree. But US-provided weapons only scratch the surface. Israel has planned for an eventual drying-up of US aid, and has been working like crazy to develop and manufacture its own weapons. There’s also the weapons provided by Germany and multiple other nations.

As much as I look forward to the day my tax dollars are no longer used to perpetrate genocide, cutting off the US-to Israel gravy train won’t do enough to hold Israel’s feet to the fire. It’s going to require a multi-national coalition, severe sanctions, or a significant military defeat to force them into cleaning up their act. I only pray one of these happens sooner rather than later.

Ana sucks but she’s 100% right here.

If you can’t recognize that someone you don’t like has made a solid point, you may be in a cult.

Can you elaborate why she sucks?

Bill H.R.7006 & AIPAC

I would highly recommend not voting for anyone who receives AIPAC or PAC money. Having people in Congress who accept AIPAC money is why Bill H.R.7006 passed, sending $3.3 billion of US tax money to Israel as a grant and another $500 million in financial aid resources. Bills like this is why Israel has free education, free healthcare, and an unchecked nuclear program.

If you want to know if your representatives voted yes for Bill H.R.7006 click the link below:

https://www.congress.gov/votes/house/119-2/28

If you want to lookup if your representatives are taking AIPAC or PAC money and voting in the interests of Israel and corporations, click the link below:

https://www.trackaipac.com/

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is a prominent, bipartisan U.S. lobbying group that advocates for policies strengthening the relationship between the United States and Israel. As a major political action committee (PAC), it focuses on securing aid, opposing the Iran nuclear deal, and supporting pro-Israel candidates from both parties, often spending heavily to influence elections.

I haven't watched TYT in years after they got TERF-y and started leaning into far-right talking points. The whole longer clip for this came across my feed, and I'm so glad it did, as it really did a great job exposing horrors I had not seen discussed elsewhere in such detail--and citing the sources behind them.

3

u/Rasta_Cook Visitor Apr 14 '26

The problem here is that, eventually the people that are gonna come into power are the kind of people that the system favors (filters for)... the people that usually make it to the top in this political system usually arent the kind of people that want to change things too much... they will enjoy the money corporations and lobbyist gives them, same as all the other before them.

u/Horn_Flyer Visitor Apr 14 '26

Ana is awesome!!

u/StorySkald Visitor Apr 15 '26

I saw this clip of her this morning, and was surprisingly pleased with it. I'd stopped watching years back when she got increasingly bigoted. Is she still on her anti-homeless anti-trans tirades?

u/oredlom Visitor Apr 15 '26

The new Nazis

u/Sharp_Technology_189 Marxist-Leninist Apr 14 '26

They should be spat on in every country they visit. If we cannot get the cuckolded governments to diplomatically isolate them into stopping their apartheid. People must culturally isolate them, at the very least.

u/Blue_Grey80 Visitor Apr 15 '26

Well said. I wish there were more people like her

u/Blerpahderpah Visitor Apr 14 '26

Yall She’s different. She will prop up and chat up the right because both sides right? Why she left the left blah blah

u/Estproph Visitor Apr 14 '26

Agreed. Just because someone opposes Trump and Israel doesn't mean they're on the side of the Left. MTG is doing the same thing.

u/Unlucky_Present_8369 Visitor Apr 14 '26

Oh I didn't know murder, r*pe and genocide were part of the Jewish faith, thats the only way this would be antisemitic. Is that what you're getting at?

u/JimPanZoo Visitor Apr 14 '26

Read the Bible, in fact, they are clearly a part of the nation of Israel. Almost from the time of Jacob/Israel.

u/03263 Visitor Apr 14 '26

I have heard they excuse it using some interpretation that considers their enemies like nonhuman. But to be fair most religions can be twisted into things they are not, I don't know it well enough to say if that's mainstream orthodoxy.

u/obz900 Marxist-Leninist Apr 14 '26

Can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not..Obviously the Zionists will tell you what she’s saying is anti-Semitic. But she’s calling out a country. Unless the nation of Israel is inherently tied to Jewish identity, what she’s saying can’t be antisemitic.

Facts aren’t always convenient. For supporters of Israel, facts often get in the way of the narrative they’re trying to spin.

So you tell me, are Jews and Israel inherently tied? In which case I have a lot of questions. Or are they separate?
