    The US is a warmongering country led by pedophiles assisting a genocide, and this motherfucker has the audacity to call Iran the biggest supporter of terrorism around the world and attempting to shame this poor woman. What a bunch of ghouls.

    I like how they immediately just try to shame her instead of engage with what she said. “I hope you sleep well on this bed of lies”, “do you want Iran to have nukes?”, etc.

    I don’t mean to critique Emma or the post as a whole, but people really need to stop saying “Gaza genocide”. The mass-killings of Gaza are a part of the genocide, but this is like referring the Holocaust as “The Warsaw genocide” or the East Timor genocide as the “Santa Cruz genocide”. It’s just ceding ground to ethno-nationalists that the problem doesn’t include the forced-removal, killing, and apartheid elsewhere. There’s a reason that western publications refer to them exclusively as “Gazans”. It’s not on the same level as liberal genocide-denialist bullshit like “Netanyahu regime”, but it matters.

        The name of the people being genocided is the easiest. You can make up your own as long as you aren’t accepting a name with harmful framing.

        • Palestinian Genocide (“- In Gaza” if you really need to specific)
        • Israeli Genocide of Palestinians
        • Ongoing Nakba

        The last, in my opinion, is the most apt, but you’re mostly going to be speaking to people too ignorant to understand it, so it’s unusable for most situations

      CNN is now owned by the Ellison’s, the same Sociopathic Oligarchs that bought CBS and ruined it. CNN is officially a member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and this is the narrative you can expect in the future - MAGA is right, and the Left agrees. Only a dummy like this bitch would dare to disagree.
