In yet another reality-denying ritual of fealty to the pro-Israel lobby, members of Congress absurdly voted to say Israel was neither an apartheid state nor racist. Only a few progressives, including members of the Squad, stood firm in opposing the measure.

    Next you’re gonna say America is the land of opportunity and minorities only have a hard time because they’re lazy.

      Not at all. I’m extremely liberal, and very upset by income and wealth inequality in the US, and the lack of meritocracy.

        Then I’ll give you a hint, America and Israel are part of the same military-industrial-economic complex. They both only serve to empower those at the top of the hierarchy of violence, and they use minorities as a scapegoat. BTW: Meritocracies are still hierarchies of inequality. They STILL grind the disabled and impoverished into dust.
