The idea that these yankee soldiers, who made a conscious decision to become service members, died "for Israel" is such cheap misrepresentation of the function of the US military and serves as a kind of propaganda that obscures imperial violence and how it is enforced globally
Rubio report on Cuban subversion names Zohran Mamdani, Amy Goodman, Hasan Piker + orgs like DSA and Amazon Labor Union
“Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history — from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses — can be linked, in some way, shape, or form, to Cuban influence,” the report says.
As for who these supposed agents of Cuban influence are, the report is remarkably explicit. It names people like Ben Cohen (of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream fame), Mayors Zohran Mamdani and Karen Bass, media figures like Amy Goodman and Hasan Piker, and organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America and the Amazon Labor Union.
The implication is clear: Secretary of State Marco Rubio thinks there should be a modern-day blacklist of the political left in America. In fact, the report explicitly mentions the “blacklists, McCarthy-era investigations and prosecutions” of the 1950s and their effectiveness at dismembering the Communist Party USA.
The 100-page report, titled “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism,” was released this morning.
in all seriousness though this is a terrifying escalation in rhetoric, and frankly, i would call it genocidal language being aimed at Cubans in particular, but Latin America more broadly.
Sorry, what did these people do to provoke the attack other than be from Israel?
The “Taking a break from genocide?” comment was made by the people attacking the Israeli tourists, not by the tourists themselves, and the assailants went on to say the following:
Afaik these comments were thrown and attacks were made based solely on the nationalities of the people attacked. Why on earth is this worth celebrating?
