What is it?
What do you want to ask me?
I'm not watching any Israeli speak for 17 minutes. Did CPUSA actually officially condemn Hamas?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Will watch it in a bit
Yeah Im in the same boat.
Irrelevant and unserious people says what? 
Way worse than I would have expected. Starting off with the whole “needs context” 
, hamas bad, poor hostages. There’s literally only one “country” that shouldn’t be invited. May as well invite national socialists since they have socialism in their name.
So I'd say this would cause a split but frankly everyone worth listening to has disavowed these libs years ago.
The guy in the video is Dr Ofer Cassif, who is explicitly antizionist. Search Ofer Cassif on youtube, you will see that he has spoken against Israel on Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Democracy Now, Majority Report and many other news networks. He was born in Israel and has devoted his life to ending the Zionist project. He helped South Africa take Israel to the ICJ.
Editing my post to include that there have been many posts in support of Ofer Cassif on hexbear in the past. Even the beloved SeventyTwoTrillion wrote a news post about Ofer Cassif.
Ty for the background, how does this change his words in the attached tweet?
People seem to say "critical support" as a joke a whole lot seem to never actually use critical support. I don't agree with everything he says. You can say that you don't agree with some things that he says and still appreciate that he has taken serious actions against Israel.
I don't agree with Norm Finkelstein about his anti-transgender beliefs but we still recognize that him as a prominent antizionist figure.
I watched the video and I see that Ofer Cassif says "We condemned totally condemned the massacre which took place" and he keeps using the word "We". It seems to me that he is using a metaphoric "We", (I don't think metaphoric is the right word). He's using "We" to say that the general public said that they condemned Hamas. He doesn't say "I condemn Hamas", he said "we condemned" as he is setting up a comparison. He is setting up a comparison. In his next breath, he says that what the Israeli government is doing to Gaza is far worse. He calls the Israeli government fascist. Then he says "I place the blame on the Israeli government". Why does he say "we condemned (oct 7)" but then he said "I place the blame on the Israeli government"? Because in the former instance he was expressing the opinion of the broader public and in the latter, he is saying his own beliefs.
washedddddddddd
Wtf bro
I just do the same thing and not vote
Hey, everyone.
I'm really proud of our party and the progress we've made since John Bachtell was ousted.
I can answer any questions you may have, depending on whether it's not covered by OpSec.
Cheers!

Do you agree with the speaker that the Al Aqsa Flood was an unjustified act?
I don't agree, no.
