    Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns more ABC stations than any other TV conglomerate including Nexstar, announced it would run a tribute to Kirk during Kimmel’s timeslot on Friday.

        So uh. How can they be both antisemittic and support Israel like they do at the same time? Not trying to troll, I honestly feel there is a contradiction there.

          These people thrive on cognitive dissonance. It’s one reason logic doesn’t work against them. Also, my understanding is that the religious ones need Jews in Israel for their apocalyptic bible prophecy to come true.

          From what I have read/heard, the Rapturetm or “End Times” will start because of/in the Jewish nation of Israel, they are waiting for the end of the world and the Jews are the key to it. If you want some reading just look up “Israel rapture” or “Israel end times”

          They want Jewish people to have a state so they can go away. Also the whole “needs to have all Jewish people in Israel to herald the apocalypse and ascension” or some nonsense.

          Maintaining israel’s power in the middle east keeps the west easy access to all of that oil and resources in the region. Bonus points, it keeps all them ‘jews’ in one spot out of the way. Even hitler supported the existence of israel.

          Not really a contradiction if you understand Zionism. Paraphrasing Theodor Herzl (recognized as one of the “founding fathers” of Zionism) “the anti-semites will become our greatest allies” in the late 1800s

          Because anti-Semites would support Jewish emigration. White supremacists and neo Nazis would be glad to see them gone from the US. And they have an easy place to push them.

          That, and Israel’s importance today to US government is more about geopolitics and power projection than about ethnic/religious identity.

          And also the Christian zionist angle other people have mentioned with Armageddon.

    following complaints about host’s comments on the killing of rightwing activist Kirk

    is definitely misleading when

    Before ABC pulled Kimmel, the Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, had urged local broadcasters to stop airing the show, saying they were “running the possibility of fines or licensed revocation from the FCC” during an appearance on the rightwing commentator Benny Johnson’s podcast.

    Or how Senator Markey put it:

    "FCC chair threatens ABC and Disney over Kimmel’s comments. Hours later, he’s off air. It’s dangerous and unconstitutional. The message to every media company is clear: Adopt the MAGA line or the Federal Censorship Commission will come after you.”

    Trump always had it in for Kimmel. The fact that the government now decides what comedians can say should worry everyone, left or right.

    Also, Trump is a child rapist and this does not distract us from that fact.

    I can show my opposition by simply boycotting programming from ABC and CBS. See how simple that is!? Free speech does not pick sides. I’ve learned to accept the “good” and the “bad”. This Trump administration is suppressing what DID make America Great - no more! 😔

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
