I like him and his ideas, but what does that matter? Is this a popularity contest? Do you come here and post stuff just to feel liked?
I actually don't care what you or anyone else thinks of me personally cos I only come here to blaze one and exchange information and ideas with people who sometimes have very different ideas.

You're actually not one of the braindead Barnie supporters, you seem to be able to think and I actually try to read your posts objectively.

But some of the people on your side man, bad hombres. Unreceptive to fact and prolificly spread fake news. I wish they'd listen to Bernie and actually work with Democrats who want most of the same things.

Yeah that is definitely an antisemitic propaganda rag. I think it would be obvious to anyone that citing such a source is a clear indication of the sort of thing one wants to be exposed to and spread.

It is damaging to the Palestinian cause that such a bigoted source is used in its defense.
Now this is actionable information.

Honestly, I haven't run across any of the articles you're suggesting are in there. I will be on the lookout for the bias you mention.

I'm not anti-Semitic; Jewish people have a legitimate heritage, a Great religion, an awesome culture and fantastic food.

I'm anti apartheid- and it's especially disgusting when the Israeli state and its ultra right wing political factions attempt to conflate the two.

It's a long-standing tradition; Ariel Sharon provoked the Palestinians to provide cover for continued Israeli expansion into the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Netanyahu is merely following in his bloody footsteps.

I also personally know people practicing the Jewish faith who find the policies and activities of the self styled 'Jewish State' abhorrent and contrary to every tradition their religion stands for. They don't feel theirs is the minority view and they're quite confident in the ethical foundations of their position.

When Buckwit cries about Palestinians' anti Jewish stance, he conveniently fails to mention that Israel has been using its State Religion as cover for human rights violations against them for longer than any of us have been alive- which reveals his own filthy bigotry. I find it duplicitous of you that you fail to hold him accountable, if indeed you believe in the cause of Palestinian Justice.

Counterpunch is an aggregator; much of their content comes from outside sources. Most of that content has nothing to do with Jewish people, their faith or even the Middle East. Their articles often make good and informative points about exploitation everywhere, it's what they do best.

If some articles they repost go too far in the defense of the Palestinians' cause, perhaps it's an editorial choice to give all sides equal time. That doesn't mean I agree with it- or their choices. Like I said, I haven't seen it. If/when I do, I'll call it out- here on RIU if you like.

To say nothing they post has merit because you might disagree with one issue smacks of throwing stones while living in a glass house. Let he who is without sin cast the first one...

Lol, you Barnie Supporters are once again deluding yourselves and the circle jerk stops you even considering other points of view.

YouTube videos and blog posts are not the basis for intelligent discord, sorry but I'll take verifiable fact any day.

Stopped reading when you compared apartheid with Israel's treatment of Palestinians. That's simply not true. It doesn't matter that you have a Jewish friend.

Really? Is this opinion of yours backed up with anything related to a fact or are these just more bloviations of yours?

You might have stopped reading in the middle, but you clearly stopped thinking a long time ago.

You should write a blog that contains your deepest thoughts. Call it "About Nothing".
What would you rename your pathetic attempts to, then? Don't want to steal your thunder ace, I mean ((cough)) mites. Get back to me if you want to talk about, genomic scaffolding. That's where I am at this week, master grower you.....

LOL

Is this where you whip out your dick and stroke it as you tell me how yours is bigger? LOL

I'm just a second time home grower and just happy to be happy. I have plenty of confidence in technology but not in pot growing. LOL, the very idea that somebody would play one-up on the internet just makes me howl with laughter.

Thanks for the laughs (wipes away tears)

about nothing LOL

It is antisemitic as fuck and you post from it. You have also liked a bunch of comments that were holocaust denial and made friends with Marwan the Jew hater. Like @travisw said, I see you.
