So a US senator should use a foreign flag as the backdrop for his videos? Which do you think they pledge allegiance to?

OMG! I think that is a Florida flag in the background as well! So Scott has pledged allegiance to the Confederate (states' rights thing you know) Jewish State?

Stone him.

Oh bs. If aoc did a video with the Mexican flag in the background this place would be burning. Wonder how much it cost to get him to hang it

You're basically taking a stupid leftist stance of "everyone against my view is racist" but using antisemitic.

Don't know about everyone else, but what flags AOC displays in her office I could care less about.

In defending themselves against attacks or antisemitism?

I’m not saying Israel doesn’t have a right to defend itself, especially against terrorism or antisemitism those are real threats. But that doesn’t mean everything the Israeli government does is justified, just like not all Palestinian actions are justified either. I just think the situation is more complicated than picking a clear “good guy” or “bad guy.” Both sides have committed serious wrongs, and innocent people suffer on both ends. That’s the part I’m focusing on not taking away anyone’s right to exist or defend themselves. Our government and the media like to frame Israel as an innocent victim bc Israel benefits the U.S in many ways.

How is it hypocrisy?

OP was about R politicians threatening to deport people flying Mexican flags, and so then PJ showed an image of a Republican prominently displaying a flag of another nation. Now you're caught up

Who cares what flag the people fly? FFS. Though, I don't think it's a big deal that a senator declares an ally like that, I at least get people caring that a congressman or senator would fly another flag, especially if they have a problem with that regime. You really wouldn't be concerned with a senator flying a Chinese flag prominently in his office?

OK. Let's cut through the BS and get to some valuable responses. Please quote where these supposed people said that people in LA who wave Mexican flags should be deported. Let's see if the context of the supposed statements align with this comparison.

Did they say that merely waving the flag is worthy of deportation? Or that waving it while participating in anti-gov't riots, looting, fire-bombing and other property damages is worthy of deportation?

Then yes, they are innocent as you stated.

It’s not that simple though. Although terrorism can never be justified that doesn’t mean everything Israel does/has done is. I’ll never excuse Hamas for attacking civilians but I’ll also not ignore the suffering caused by Israeli policies. Israel been launching military operations in Gaza long before all of this become mainstream news

I will give you some credit, and think you are capable of figuring out on your own, that with the term "law-abiding," I was talking about undocumented workers with clean criminal records.

.... and you are over-simplifying the issue by only making it about money. Americans do not want to work manual labor jobs anymore. Even unskilled workers will accept less money to perform other duties.

Again, Impossible statement (Illegal immigrants) and how do you know? Pay Americans enough (market forces) and it all works out.

Seems they're paying what the job is worth. Why pay double or triple just because of nationality? You know what that does to prices?

I used to mow grass for $10/yard, hand trim and rake. Today, they call it mowing for $150/yard. If there are no options and market forces are in play, People will pay if they want the prodcut/service.

It's food not lawncare. No need to pay inflated wages because someone feels like they're too good for the work. Pay what it's worth.

That's a market

To me wages are not the issue in the USA. We pay higher wages than a lot of the globe and it makes us less competitive. The problem is that people continue to make money but the expenses go up. I lived in Africa two years ago and the groceries there cost half what it was in the USA.

By the time you pay Utilities (Gas, Water, Electricity), Internet, Streaming/TV (thank you College Football), Insurance, Maintenance, etc., there isn't that much left to spend. Wages keep going up but these other items are going up faster. Inflation has been slowing down since around Christmas-time but it isn't enough until we do something about Insurance and Utilities.

That wasn’t the question. You asked if they are innocent. I asked for defending themselves or antisemitism. If you don’t like the answer, ask better questions before zigging and zagging the goal post.
