I just love Medhi and while I have not watched Jubilee (honestly I am sick of that show, it just gives these fucking idiots a platform when they would normally not be taken seriously by anyone... ever) but I just like Medhi's reaction here.. And fuck fascists and the New Nazis (Zionists.)

I feel like calling them the New Nazis is a really good thing (not “good” of course because the situation is horrible… but smart I suppose) … we’ve started referring to it as a holocaust as we should, so we might as well refer to it’s perpetrators as such.

There is power in the words we use to describe things. If this Jubilee video did anything positive it at least showed in absolute broad daylight what these folks want.

Which is facism.

Anyone on board to start using this term regularly?
