How convenient for dem leadership that anyone who disagrees with them is actually a foreign agent.
So there's articles now about her calling them both Chinese and Russian agents for protesting. Nice job, grandma.
Then she doubles back and said she's actually calling for a cease fire too...
But what she's really asking for is a complete surrender of Gaza.
Like when idiots say the invasion of Ukraine needs to end, so Ukraine needs to surrender.
If your call for a cease fire is the victim to surrender to the aggressor, that's not a cease fire, it's you being on the bad guys side.
Might have something to do with this:

What she said isn't as absurd as it seems.
Is the article you linked implying that criticism of Israel is just anti-American propaganda? That the people criticizing Israel just don't know what they're talking about?
The article you linked is an article from early November 2023. This article from NPR, published on the same day as the NYT article you linked, talks about Israel invading North Gaza with a force too small to occupy the city. The authors wonder how such a small ground force could be used to hold and control the city.
As it turns out, the IDF had no plans of holding it. They planned to erase it.
Literally in the Israeli Times article you linked:
This is some Minority Report shit. Israel must have some psychics in their "Precrime" Police devision.
Like, are we all too desensitized to the insane shit being said that this is somehow normal and ok to just be published without comment in a newspaper?
The narrative that the situation is too complicated to understand is itself propagandistic. Every conflict is complicated, but this conflict is incomprehensible only if you go into it loaded with preconceptions.
The Dems and Dem-aligned corporate media have spent the last eight years pushing Russiagate conspiracy theories, and now they’re expanding BlueAnon to include China because the US is itching to ramp up Cold War II.
People seem to be mad about what you've said based on the votes, but you're right. Russiagate in 2016 was a nothingburger and democrats have been riding it for the past 8 years: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/09/russian-trolls-twitter-had-little-influence-2016-voters/
Wait, are you denying Russian and Chinese interference?
Yeah, the only reason anyone would be against the senseless murder of civilians is if they've been duped by foreign propaganda.
Because Americans can't possibly have a problem with genocide, because genocide is what made this country great.
Ugh, I get that sometimes, too. So petty and childish. Especially on the fediverse where you don't automtically upvote your own post.
