After the IDF Navy kills everyone on board and sinks the ships, get ready for the mental gymnastics from all the Zionists who condemned Yemen for enforcing its own blockade.
I find it very interesting that the pro-Zionists are never asked to be mindful of the company they keep.
As long as you support Israeli/US interests, you get a pass for hating actual Jewish people.
Negative polarization will indeed be the work horse for Biden’s campaign.
I’m talking about how to get people who are on the fence between voting for Biden on the one hand and voting for a protest candidate on the other.
