US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”

Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”

There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.

          “NATO is a fascist dictatorship”

          Citation needed. It’s not even a state. It’s an alliance.

          “that has completed a coup in Ukraine”

          A popular revolution that overthrew a dictatorship is not a “coup”

          “and had been trying to further subjugate Russia as a colony via Ukraine as its proxy”

          Citation needed

            Citation needed. It’s not even a state. It’s an alliance.

            If invading Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Vietnam, Korea and many other places, carrying out genocides - including the one in Palestine, - maintaining colonialism, literally installing fascists into power in places such as Chile and Ukraine isn’t fascist, then nothing is.

            Notably, you did not provide any citations that support your claim of Russia being fascist.

            A popular revolution that overthrew a dictatorship is not a “coup”

            Lol. ‘Dictatorship’. That word doesn’t mean anything.

            Also, we literally know that NATO organized it. Nuland was even picking whom to put into government positions wrote a while before the competing of the coup.

            Citation needed

            Cute.
            Notably, you didn’t provide any citations for your fantasy of Russia doing this for reasons that boil down to the racist ‘asiatic hordes’ stuff. But hey, have you really not heard of such things as ‘economics’ and ‘colonialism’, and have you never paid attention to the last few centuries of history?

              What makes Russia fascist is it’s focus on a “strong leader” that will crush Russia’s enemies and return Russia to an imagined glorious past. Although many NATO countries are imperialist, NATO itself isn’t fascist because it’s not about returning to a glorious past.

                What makes Russia fascist is it’s focus on a “strong leader” that will crush Russia’s enemies and return Russia to an imagined glorious past.

                ‘Russia is racist because of an aesthetic detail that I imagined and couldn’t provide any citations for, and not because of any sort of policies or actions’.

                Although many NATO countries are imperialist, NATO itself isn’t fascist because it’s not about returning to a glorious past.

                If you think that killing millions and doing coups against everybody else in the world to maintain colonialism isn’t fascist, then nothing is.

                Also, which NATO states do you think are not imperialist?

              “Colour revolution.”

              Doesn’t matter what you call it. The people coming together to overthrow a dictatorship is still legitimate.

                Euromaidan overthrow the government that succeeded the Orange Revolution

                The second colour revolution to overthrow the government of the first colour revolution… It’s seems like the first colour revolution was not that legitimate by that logic.

                  Euromaidan were mass protests by the people of Ukraine. Aren’t leftists supposed to support the proletariat? Why are you supporting the bourgeois oligarchs?

                    The ‘people’ in question being US state department officials like Nuland, as well as Ukrainian high politicians and fascist groups like Azov, apparently. /s

                    Why are you supporting the bourgeois oligarchs?

                    Is this a joke?

                    You are literally supporting an incredibly comprador regime in Ukraine that has carried out several unpopular actions that impoverish Ukraine (as in, have already done some impoverishment, but are continuing to do so; these actions include privatisations and the rare earths deal), and which has been dismantling what was left of workers’ rights in Ukraine.
