Fucking virtue signaling for team Israel.
It is OK to criticize or express caution about Israeli policies and government. That is NOT antisemitism.

Might not be all that commited to her virtue signalling, at that.
Someone who closely monitors her wikipedia page is trying to keep this information on her political position from appearing there...
It's antisemitism to insist that Jewish people who don't even live there are connected to Israel's crimes aginst humanity
Sure, I don't know what that has to do with notable Jewish senator Bernard Sanders that lived in a Kibbutz in Israel at one time, though.
Quite notable, that Bernard.
A member of Senator Sanders’s staff said that as far as he knew, “Bernie had never heard of Saskia Esken, but I’m sure he would have been pleased to meet her.”
Hahahaha
@roguetrick this is even better than Don Draper "I don't think of you at all."
Damn, I should rewatch that show. It was goddamn great.
So ... the German is boycotting the Jewish guy's event over his statements regarding the morality of war crimes. The Onion is doomed, we're out of satire.
No way, dude… have you seen the Onion this week? They are killing it and should be accused of war crimes any minute now.
Oh they can’t possibly be. They sided with Israel - because it’s politically safer
Lol I just can’t with these people going after Sanders, who is Jewish
He's the wrong kind of Jew.
They want the placid, malleable kind of jew, not one who has his own opinions.
They want Zionists, if you aren't a Zionist Jew, what good are you?
He represents 17% of the Jewish population. https://g.co/bard/share/8f756e99642e
It's nice to read a non-biased AIi opinion on the zionism matter. https://g.co/bard/share/81ff92a41241
When they said "Be a light unto the nations" they were referring to the white phosphorus***.
***Alleged
Literally the only American politician with any integrity who stands by his beliefs and ofc he never wins an election. This is why we can't have nice things, because apparently feeding homeless people is communism but subsidising dying fossil fuel industries is patriotism.
I wouldn't knock the electability anyone who can win senator or governor, particularly for as long as Bennie has held on.
Saskia Esken is being antisemitic by silencing and shaming Jewish voices
My father taught me something early on which I paraphrase as "when in doubt, shut the fuck up". Clearly that lady was not taught that lesson.
It is better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Germany will keep simping to Israel till the end of time. lol Isn't Bernie Jewish himself?
Even lived in Israel for a few months volunteering. https://forward.com/israel/332946/revealed-at-last-inside-the-kibbutz-where-bernie-sanders-lived-and-learned/
Sure is
German politician is against Jew who made a clear stand against war crimes.
Sounds familiar, somehow.
Lunatics take positions like this.
According to the IDF, targeting civilians is their right.
If indeed only this sentence was the reason for Esken to cancel the meeting - it is a clear overreaction. Nobody should be on board with targeting civilians - meaning: they should not get attacked on purpose. Never.
I like that Bernie's response to "eat the rich is" "No, no, no, that's a start, but it's not enough."
A member of Senator Sanders’s staff said that as far as he knew, “Bernie had never heard of Saskia Esken, but I’m sure he would have been pleased to meet her.”
objectively the moderate wing
Oh no, now she won't be buying any more Bernie Sanderses!
Liberals are very quickly taking a turn into undeniable fascism. I was concerned what might happen when the climate wars truly begin, but now I don't have any concerns, I know.
The SDP has been a joke for a long time and it will continue to be a joke for quite some time to come.
"Social democrat" is just capture of socialistic values, dispersed under the umbrella of liberalism. Social democrats still support new public management, "global markets" and privatisation of everything. In effect they relish in the slavery that these markets impose, a race to the bottom where human life is worth nothing, while pretending they are doing something different.
They are in effect establishment politicians.
Germans generally aren't the best authority on treating the jews, so...
