    “You know, frankly, these folks continue to spew pro-Hamas talking points, continue to spew anti-American, anti-Israel hatred,” Lawler said,

    waow-based

    adding that “many of them don’t seem to recognize the irony that if they were actually in Gaza, Hamas would very likely kill them.”

    Seems a lot more likely that the IDF would kill me if I were in Gaza, actually

        It’s older than that. The classical liberals all believed this shit. In fact John locke, Stuart Mills, Voltaire etc were all racist as shit and owned shares in the British East India Company or outright owned people. Their refrain in India was protecting the women from the “savages” there. Probably the same “reasons” they used for colonizing Africa, China, Southeast Asia, etc… none of this is new.
