It feels morbid to say but I think it's because the genocide is almost complete, so now they can just claim "they were a moment too late." So they can feign morality without having to attempt to enact it.

Might also be because they feel their credibility was dropping too low.
TheGuardian is a great example of a newspaper which did a complete 180 from spewing every Israeli propaganda possible, going as far as using their reputation to back up Israeli lies, to suddenly questioning Israeli claims a few months ago and quoting Palestinians and human rights organizations.
Their mistake was being too specific about who was doing it, the IDF, and what should be done to them specifically, death to them.
Liberals get queezy at the idea of direct intervention unless they've been whipped up into a patriotic frenzy first. They need vague moral allusions without assign blame or responsibility or even recourse. "What's happening in Gaza is tragic." Of course, this is with owning their role in allowing this to get to this stage and that's why it's important not to assign any blame.
Yeah well, fuck the feelings of liberals and death to the entire IDF.
I obviously have no problem with that.
If those "Liberals" were merely "queezy at the idea of direct intervention" they would simply remain neutral rather than arrest people for demonstrating against Genocide.
Their actions disprove their "we're merelly trying to not take sides" propaganda.
By their very own actions and the kind of policies they defend, American and British "Liberals" are pretty damn close to Fascist, which explains their active support of an ethno-Fascist White Colonialist state mass murdering hundreds of thousands (on its way to millions) of people of another ethnicity to take their land.
One day, everyone will have always been against this.
My dude nailed it.
Everyone will have always been against this, but those damned Leftist who came in during ramp up of the genocide in 2023 and 2024 will still have been unserious and irrational and detrimental to the cause of peace.
Same with Iraq. What you said was wrong, because you said it at the wrong time and argued with the wrong people. You didn't know back then what we knew and you didn't understand what we understood and you were so rude about it when you should have been casual and polite, while tens of thousands of people were being butchered.
So yes it's a genocide, but you're still expelled from Columbia for being anti-semitic. Maybe even deported to a blacksite in El Salvador. And you have only yourself to blame.
Non american here. Genocide voters deserve death
Can you define "Genocide voter"?
Isn't that clear? People who voted for a genocider
Yes that's most americans
premature antifascists

The fact that the book's whole description is about the author's viral tweet is so weird to me. It's a poignant tweet, but still.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
No, there's no such thing as media gaslighting. Stop asking stupid questions and return to work
I'm wondering if Israel is being called out right now to distract from whoever is about to be outed by Gislaine Maxwell's immunity deal.
Either way, 0 sympathy for either party, but just highlights that once certain politicians start to really feel the heat personally, no amount of money or ideology can save whoever the nearest shield is.
Ah yes the genocide is a conspiracy to distract americans from their pedophile in chief. Genious
Not saying the genocide is a conspiracy. I'm saying everyone who 1 week ago were skewering anyone who even suggested we use our influence to at least allow food into a region where people are starving and suddenly are coming out and condemning are are using a real genocide to flood the news cycles and distract from a bunch of pedophiles' names coming out.
Nothing about the genocide has changed, I can't imagine why the democratic leadership suddenly decides to do a 180 on such a fervently held position. They were attacking Mamdani harder than they ever attacked Trump just for saying he would prefer if Israel extended basic human rights to everyone. To go from that, to what we're seeing now at this time is really suspicious.
Bruh... not everything that happens is a distraction from another thing that happened
Reminds me, I really need to give their music a go
They are pretty good. It might be their most chill song but I really like Health is Wealth.
I like that but all I can picture is the Macka B version
Nice. I'm guessing Bob Vylan is referencing Macka B in his song when he says something about Rastaman told you to live life ital.
He must love all of this free advertising.
They're a they, not a he. As in it's a duo, I'm not even arguing about pronouns.
"And by the way, which one's Pink"
Bob Vylan is the band.
The members are:
- Bobby Vylan
- Bobbie Vylan
The account in the screengrab appears to belong to Bobby.
"… makes me feel like I've truly gone crazy" also indicates a singular person.
I'm assuming that was an autocorrect typo but Bob Vylan is the band!
But yeah this is Bobby's post
Yeah, it was a typo. Let's not talk about how many attempts it took to write Bobby correctly.
Hahaha I believe it
Bobs Vylan
My bad.
On the other hand they had to cancel their US tour, at a crucial stage of their career.
