So far, the only semi-valid point I see is about the years of the agreement. The US says 100, Venezuela says 25. Both figures pander to their domestic audiences. The article quotes many sources, from the left and the mainstream press. Throwing out a reference about “right-wingers” doesn’t hold up if someone actually looks at the article.

The Angela Davis letter about Iranian politicial prisoners is a controversial topic, and there are various points of view on the left. But that doesn’t make them “reactionaries”. Slandering those who have political differences as reactionaries shuts down any meaningful discussion among those fighting against imperialism.

You still haven’t given an alternative analysis about the oil agreement. One question - what is AES?

Thank you!

So what is your analysis of the oil deal? (BTW, the sources aren’t from the State Dept.) I know the people who write the articles, and they are not “reactionaries”.
Your article is just a pile of half-baked slanders posing as analysis.

:-) Thanks!

Hey Jordan, Thanks for pointing that out! I’m fixing them now. Take care, –pete

Some people love getting gift articles, some don’t. If the title looks interesting, then people can go to the archive sites and grab it from there.

Right. Some people prefer gifts to archive articles which bypass paywalls. You could probably find the archive and even put it in your comment.

Murderous Zionists. There are Jews in Israel who defend Palestinians to the best of their ability.

I’m not familiar with that term. Could you clarify?

Ummm…

Yes, there are widely different opinions in the Cuban-American community in the US. The encouraging thing is that anti-blockade Cubans are speaking up more now.

He probably feels that they can do much more than they have.

Good idea - done. :-)

Right, and more and more people are seeing through that.

No, you’re wrong. Antisemitism is a real thing, and a bad one, and Zionist Israel’s genocidal actions fuel it. There is no contradiction in being anti-Zionist and also being against anti-Semitism. It’s not hasbara to say that, it actually strengthens the Palestinian solidarity movement to condemn antisemitism. I wish you could understand that.

Right, but a lot of people don’t even realize that the sanctions are still in place and want to see relief for the Venezuelan people. In this case, the “evil” Maduro has been kidnapped and replaced by the pliable Delcy, and yet the sanctions still go on. Putting pressure on the US and others to lift the sanctions will help the people of Venezuela and also educate people about what sanctions are all about.

Just curious - why does every headline have the “NATO-backed” prefix to “Zionist”?
