"This genocide goes to the heart of western empire. It goes to the heart of the west's inability to deal with its own colonial mindset, with its own racism, with its ongoing commitment and addiction to empire and colonization. And instead of dealing with that they project that onto Palestinians."

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

A veteran moving to the Pacific Northwest, then driving to DC to stage a mass shooting of government agents? Sounds like he assimilated into American culture pretty successfully.
