Of course, not just in America. Just the same in Europe. You see it everywhere. I remember an exchange here with a lovely environmentalist who was a good Mastodon friend before, who was so suspicious of Dr Ghassan Abu-Sitah (the rector of Glasgow university) when he was denied entry into France that she tried to prove that he was lying on twitter and was a Hamas sympathesiser. She unfollowed me when I tried explain that her “sources” were known Zionist propaganda.

With the caveat that to some extent it's not even about impugning suspected ulterior motives. There have been examples of Israel-apologists complaining that a literal and sincere call for “equal rights for all” is somehow offensive. Not because of being a supposed front for malicious intentions, but because the actual concept of equal rights per se is objectionable to them.

Elina Bakunova aka "Eli from Russia" visited Iran before the military conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US began. Before she left, her friends were like, "You're going to Iran? It's so dangerous!" But she found once she arrived in Iran, she never felt in any danger. The Iranian people were kind and curious. She feels the reality of Iran is different from how the media portrays it. She explores the city of Shiraz, visits geographic and historical landmarks, tries the local food, and so fourth. Her English-speaking guides (the whole video is conducted in English) are very good. Officially, Iran is an Islamic country with many restrictions, but many people have little interest in the religion and the restrictions, especially young people. People comply more in public but often in private people ignore the restrictions all the time. There is a difference between the government and the politics and the regular people. The video has very good music.

Entonces, al servicio de mastodon.social que no para de denunciarme toots, le digo:
Si, creo que el estado de Israel es genocida y que TODA VIOLENCIA que provenga del diezmado y torturado pueblo palestino es legítima defensa y merece el apoyo incondicional de toda persona de bien.
Y sí, también creo que el discurso berreta de las "políticas de género" y la exaltación de las parafilias son desvíos de atención para que la izquierda no se ocupe de la distribución del ingreso, que es lo único que realmente importa.

Children among at least 15 killed in attack that NGO says was ‘blatant violation of international humanitarian law’William Christou (The Guardian)
Good thing he doesn't go on You Can't do That on Television.
Donald Trump hasn’t been happy with Vladimir Putin lately, and he took out his frustrations with Russia’s president this week by announcing that the United States would resume sending military aid to Ukraine. When he was asked on Tuesday who ordered the aid to be paused in the first place, Trump delivered what has become one of his go-to responses whenever he’s pressed about the chaos his administration is unleashing on the nation and the world.“I don’t know,” he said.
The pause on aid to Ukraine was apparently ordered last week by beleaguered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who reportedly neglected to tell the White House about the move, leading to internal scrambling. Trump was asked whether he approved the pause while sitting next to Hegseth during a Cabinet meeting. The president only offered that the U.S. needs to keep sending “defensive weapons” to Ukraine because “Putin is not treating human beings right.” When asked who ordered the pause, Trump said he didn’t know. “Why don’t you tell me?” he added.
This would be far more amusing if he got slimed every time he said that.
Also, what kind of strongman doesn't know what's going on in his loyal junta?
