She should go back to her headquarters in China.

Mind you, she still isn't actually called for a ceasefire.

Anyway, these fucks are going to scapegoat Netanyahu, orange revolution him out of office all for the oppression of Palestinians to continue, at best, at an only slightly slower pace. But more likely just be replaced by another of the multitude of genocidal maniacs sitting at the Knesset. Fuck these performative asshats.

For those of us who don't speak tankie, is the orange revolution reference an indication that the commenter also believes fascist Ukrainians secretly caused the ouster of a Kremlin-friendly President in Ukraine?

There's truly nothing more tankie than opposing Israeli apartheid and not wanting liberals to help perpetuate it

Sigh. Israel isn't an apartheid state, not even close. Not like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank, Afghanistan, Egypt, Yemen, Qatar... need I go on? Muslim Israelis have the same rights as Jewish Israelis. Saying otherwise is misinformation at worst, ignorant at best.

Do you have other historically inaccurate ad-hominem riddled irrelevant points to make or do you actually have something to contribute to the discussion?

It's very clear to anyone with a half brain that the Democrat's are scapegoating Netanyahu while completely skirting any responsibility to try and save face in front of the biggest issue they face for reelection.

Sorry, I couldn't parse an answer from your reply. What does it mean to "orange revolution" someone out of office?

I suppose this is a reference to Ukraine's Orange Revolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Revolution. Seems to be outing someone out of office because of blatant corruption and voter fraud.

Yes, but the comment seemed to use orange revolution as something negative. Like it's a backhanded trick. It wasn't until I started reading Lemmy content that I even ran into people seriously saying the OR was a fraud pushed by the far-right in Ukraine.

I can wait for the commenter to clarify.

Well I don't speak tankie either, and I think the revolution ousted a very pro russian government. Which would be a bad thing for a tankie.

That's why the reference was used negatively. Orange revolutions are something western democracies do to promote hegemony. Or some such tankie bs.
