    Carville: And the reason that most people become a Democrat, at least the reason I did, I think it’s true, we don’t dislike anybody. We’re not against anybody. I mean, when I’m, you know, at my age, it was all White and Black growing up in the Jim Crow South. But I love Israel. I don’t get it –. And I don t have anything against them. I like Palestinian people. That’s some of the nicest people I know.

    People bombing some of the nicest people you know, passing apartheid lynching legislation, stealing their land, and raping them on video seemingly systemically. Something tells me his love for Israel is stronger than his love for “some of the nicest people he knows.”

    Ironic that one of the biggest dumbass loud mouths is tossing that rhetoric around, but then again projection is the crybully zionist playbook.

    Typical boomer nonsense, conflating anti-zionism with anti-semitism when it’s convenient for argument’s sake. I feel like there should be more depth from Carville, but then again senescence is a bitch.

    For 30+ years I’ve wondered why anyone, anywhere, gives a fuck what this piece of shit thinks…

    But people keep “reporting” on his terrible takes.

      I kinda treat him like I do Bill Mahr. If he’s agreeing with me it means the establishment is running out of options and if he disagrees with me it means I’m definitely right. He’s always been a bit of a canary in the coalmine where he starts doubting the party right before a tone change.

    JAMES CARVILLE: That’s an understatement. And the reason that most people become a Democrat, at least the reason I did, I think it’s true, we don’t dislike anybody. We’re not against anybody.

    But, you do dislike some people. You dislike those critical of Israel. But I know what liberals would respond with, “what he means is that Democrats don’t dislike anybody for who they are. We only dislike people for the choices they make.” Yeah, right.

    According to the Zionists, the Palestinians have choices: convert, leave or die. Maybe people like Carville don’t dislike Palestinians for being Palestinians, but they might dislike Palestinians for not being willing to accept any of the options Israel has given them.

    I mean, if the Palestinians would just accept either total destruction and/or their fate as a stateless people, this whole silly conflict could end.

    And I don t have anything against them. I like Palestinian people.

    Just not enough to believe they also deserve their own state and autonomy as a nation of people.
