The Supreme Court dealt a major loss to the Trump Administration, Moody's has downgraded the U.S. credit rating, the DOJ will charge a Democratic Congresswoman for protesting ICE, and more.
She'll contest it in court & it will eventually be tossed. This is their new game: act outrageously without impunity & make the news. Back down later when a court throws out their unlawful actions.
The DOJ is no longer observing the Constitution. Peaceful protest and our right to assembly are a fundamental rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
She’s a woman of color, and most likely of weak finances, subsequently vulnerable and easy to defeat sending a message of intimidation to many and spreading happiness to the MAGA base.
That's an insulting comment, I can't stand the racism in it. She's getting the same amount of money all the other Congress representatives get. You know it was idiotic to say it, but maybe not.
***the Trump administration was developing a plan to permanently move up to one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya.***
Why isn’t anyone talking more about this? This is a violation of Rule 129 The Act of Displacement which states, “deportation to slave labour or for any other purpose of civilian population of or in occupied territory” constitutes a war crime.[2] The prohibition of the transfer or deportation of civilians is set forth in the Fourth Geneva Convention.[3] In addition, according to the Fourth Geneva Convention and Additional Protocol I, it is a grave breach of these instruments to deport or transfer the civilian population of an occupied territory, unless the security of the civilians involved or imperative military reasons so demand. Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “the deportation or transfer [by the Occupying Power] of all or parts of the population of the occupied territory within or outside this territory” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts.”
Last I checked, the United States is still part of the Geneva convention. This move would allow the world to prosecute Trump for his crimes against humanity.
The ICC needs to step in and put a warrant out for trump and arrest him. How many people have to be hurt by trump before someone holds him accountable?
If the International Criminal Court (ICC) issues a warrant against someone in a country that is not a party to the Rome Statute, the ICC's powers to enforce the warrant are limited. The ICC relies on cooperation from member states to execute its warrants, and non-member states are not legally obligated to comply.
I know and that is why putin runs free but it certainly limits where he can go. I really don’t understand why we are not a part of that. I feel fortunate we have NATO at this point
Simply put, the U.S. has done, and continues to do, absolutely horrific things domestically and internationally. The decision not to join the ICC since it was established is based off of jurisdictional fears. The U.S. knows that many officials and citizens would have been, and currently would be, prosecuted.
One of the main fears, among many others, is the U.S.’s direct responsibility for the holocaust. More recently, refusing refugees. Accepting refugees is part of our penance for our direct responsibility in the holocaust.
Another fear is that the U.S. has supplied, and continues to supply, weapons to Egypt, UAE and Saudia Arabia that have been and continue to be used to kill Jews in Israel.
In my humble opinion, I’m not sure it is well advised for the white supremacist currently in office to mention anything about antisemitism. The harm the U.S. is responsible for domestically and internationally is unspeakable and it’s only getting worse.
Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
Yup. If he does this he can’t step foot off a plane in a Geneva conventions member nation without getting arrested. So that would be cool but I still wouldn’t want the Palestinian people moved to anywhere but back to their homes peacefully.
For reference, Libya is 1,770 km from Gaza. Libya is also a war torn corrupt country. The US and many other countries advise against ALL travel to Libya due to significant security risks, including crime, terrorism, and armed conflict. The U.S. Department of State (.gov) has issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for Libya.
And that’s why it is a violation of the Geneva conventions. It is law that a person cannot be deported to an active war zone. Absolutely disgusting that the regime would do this.
Maybe this is one reason he’s befriending countries not in the GC. I would think the ICC could issue a warrant if his actions are toward or in a foreign country that is in the GC
I spend so much of my time thinking about what is happening to the Palestinians. I’m going to be called antisemitic if I say this - or Trump will deport me - look I know Hamas attacked first and what they did was inexcusable. Hamas IS a terroristic organization and why the Palestinians decided that these people were going to represent them in a decent way is beyond me. But Netanyahu has used this as an excuse to commit genocide against these people. Really what’s the difference between Jewish people being murdered in WWII and this? Germany wanted every Jewish person wiped from the face of the earth- a nightmare that history will never forget, nor should it ever. But Netanyahu is utterly hell bent on erasing an entire people - the Palestinians. Can they not see the similarities? If you hate me for saying this, I’m not sorry. It’s the truth that Israel doesn’t want one Palestinian to be alive and my heart is broken for them. They will never have a two state solution. Israel was created in 1948 by the U.S. and UK. The fighting has never ceased since that year. It just took one madman, Netanyahu, to decide very one of the Palestinians has to go. I am not antisemitic. I don’t want to see one Jew hurt either. This seems to be a problem that has really gone on for years. This is just my opinion. If you have a different one I respect that 100%. But I don’t want to debate it.
Supporting Gaza is not antisemitism. This is a fear mongering tactic used by this administration. Your feelings are valid.
If you are curious about the true darkness behind the genocide and banishment of a Palestinians from the Gaza/The West Bank, look up Miriam Adelson. She is the richest woman in Israel and a huge financial backer of Trump for both terms. In 2024, she promised to back him for his second term as long as he promised to rid Gaza/The West Bank of all Palestinians by any means necessary ’dressed up as a peace agreement between Israel and Gaza’. She will not stop until there is an Israel expansion/annexation of the Gaza Strip.
Although Adelson claims to represent all Jewish people, the majority of Jewish people and communities disagree.
Oh wow. Reading about Miriam now. What a sucker. She’s given so much money to Trump and does she really think he cares about Israel and the Jews? He might say he does and plan a huge resort around the Gaza Strip but he doesn’t care about anything but the money she sinks into hm. He does not give a damn about ANYONE on earth except himself. Get in line Miriam, right now I think Qatar is ahead of you. In fact, so many people are ahead of you waiting to do a qui pro quo with the Donald. Try to pour some more cash into his piggy bank and see if you can skip the line. I’m glad you probably won’t be here too much longer, but there’s always going to be someone as evil and monstrous as you are.
You should read about Project Esther by the heritage foundation. It is a highly propagandized read, but it breaks down the why and how about their propaganda. It also explains why this regime is doing what they’re doing. Notice the date they published it.
Thank you for posting that - it’s completely bizarre that anyone would believe that, but if someone in power would believe it, then it shows one angle as to why they are trying to squash and defund the colleges and universities that had pro-Palestinian protests.
It sounds preposterous, but people believe the most bizarre things , it seems.
Project Esther is absolutely insane. It makes zero sense to me. The whole “h4m4s support network” ?! I can’t actually fathom they believe this, I really can’t. A lot of people don’t know what project Esther is, so it is helpful when we see the felon going after Harvard, or why NYU is holding a degree from a student, or the gov. looking at international students social media and rescinding their visas. It’s just another way to suppress the genocide in Palestine and make people scared to speak out about it, but that’s an infringement on our free speech and there’s a lot of people who condone the genocide. There’s also a lot of people who cling to 2A and the only reason the constitution is relevant at this point. Ugh. It will be totally different when that is under attack, so… 🙄
Ugh I lost my comment! Thanks for the info about Miriam Adelson. I cannot fathom giving money to a madman like Trump to essentially get rid of EVERYONE in the Gaza Strip. It’s horrific.
I’m not debating you, I just want to clear some stuff up. The history with Palestine and Israel is very long and can’t be summed up quickly. Palestine hasn’t had an “election” since 2006-7. A few things:
1. Look up “the Esther project” by the heritage foundation and even if it’s a propagandized read, it’s very insightful as to why they’re doing certain things. It’s bank rolled by AIPAC I’m sure.
Israel supported Hamas as it was a counterweight to the PLO. What’s the PLO you ask? The Palestine Liberization Organization. Its purpose was to liberate Palestine, reach Palestinian self-determination and securing the return of refugees. I think any critical thinker could agree that Israel wouldn’t like the PLO. Hamas has exploited Palestinians civialians. There is not doubt about that.
Right before the 2006 election, Hamas changed their election manifesto. In 2006, over half of Palestinians could not vote; even in 2023 there was no way to definitively gauge Palestines support of hamas. I do not think we truly know how many Palestinians supported Hamas, due to issues with occupied Jerusalem, military incursions and control by Israel.
In 2006, Israel had control over gazas airspace, coastline and restricited people from moving in and out of the West Bank. This, in turn, let military incursions into the territory. In 2007, this only got worse as Israel set a blockade of goods and people. This is being done to people whose land has been occupied and stolen from them. Even with all of this going on, the US, EU and Israel never “accepted” their 2006 election!! Israel had occupied a majority of Jerusalem in the 80’s and there was no guarantee that a city mixed with Palestinians and Israelis, under Israel’s control, would allow Palestinians to properly vote.
East Jerusalem was the “reason” for the cancellation of the last proposed election in May 2021. It was postponed to July 2021. Then it never happened. I mean, it is a good reason. 150k Palestinians, half of E. Jerusalems population, were unsure of their ability to vote due to Israeli forces. Over half of Palestinians could not vote in the last election in 2006, so calling Hamas their chosen leader is propaganda pushed by Israel I am sure.
A little fact that was over looked a lot I think: the 47xfelon liable of SA actually dismantled the PLO office in DC during his first regime! Why would he do that if it wasn’t something pushed by… someone else opposed to it? The PLO was a threat to Israel and Palestinian civilians did not get a say in the matter.
Being antisemitic is being mean, threatening, dehumanizing or bullying Jews, because they are Jewish. It’s actually a fact that most people in Palestine are Semites compared to Israel! Zionism is a monolithic ideology and Zionists think that any criticism to Israel is a criticism to Judaism and that’s not the case. At all. Judaism is a religion. Saying that Israel is committing a genocide, using war crime tactics and an ethnic cleansing of Palestine is not antisemitism! Saying you don’t like what a country is doing is not insulting a religion lol. It’s just insane the lengths Zionists will go. I’ve been called a terrorist and doxed for supporting Palestine. Don’t listen to them, your heart is definitely in the right place 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thank you. You have brought light to this darkness. Very objective and informative. I hope you and your family are safe. I couldn’t imagine how stressful it must be getting doxxed.
Omg of course! Thats really kind. I’ve been stalked/harassed (totally unrelated) so it was kind of like, meh, that’s pathetic lol. They blocked me as soon as I shared accounts of real life people in Gaza showing the destruction. They’re looking the other way and standing firm by way of propaganda. It’s sad, but also ridiculous when I have Jewish family and never said anything negative about Jewish people, or the religion- nothing at all. We can only control ourselves and it shows how much they don’t want to believe, or even see what they’re supporting and find something/someone to blame other than the actual people causing this.
It’s all about one’s own perspective on the world. There was a Native American fable I read by Barry Lopez from his book “Giving Birth to Thunder, Sleeping with his Daughter” It explains why western civilization is always too far out or too close to their own nose in seeing the world for what it is. The division in our world would seem to benefit from reading and learning from some of Coyote’s lessons in my opinion. Cheers to you and I hope you have a nice long weekend.
I appreciate the recommendation!! I could not agree more that sentiment. “American exceptionalism” is such a great term and I think more people are starting to see through the bullshit. We can’t afford anything and health related incidents are the number one reason for bankruptcy. When you see this country for what it is, there’s no going back. I had an abnormal upbringing with a lot of trauma and neglect, but had a liberal mom who was an opera singer/voice teacher and a bio-dad who is ultra conservative far right and christianity is his whole identity. Being able to see who was “good” as a teen helped me make that decision on my own and I’m glad I had that autonomy. I know there are so many people stuck in their way of life due to their home and family, so it’s important to keep talking about this. Some people do get out (religion, political views etc whatever *it* may be) and sometimes coming across a simple comment on the internet makes a huge difference. Sorry for rambling, I could get stuck on this topic! Wishing you the best and thank you again for recommending that.
Thank you for this. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the situation in more detail. I remember the PLO very well. And I agree Hamas has exploited the Palestinians. I guess this is why there are books and books in this subject and yet it is ever changing. I don’t know what you do but it sounds like you could teach a class on this. Also sorry my comment is so late I’ve been sick but I really like reading about what exactly has happened and is happing between Israel and the Palestinians.
Of course!! It’s such a complex history, this is a tiny part. My mom and step-dad went to Palestine years ago and they had a Palestinian driver that they spent a lot of time with. They said he was so kind and had nothing bad to say about anyone; even while having to go through check point after check point with armed guards and military just to get home. That alone speaks volumes about the Palestinian people IMO. I just really enjoy learning about history and knowing everything I possibly can about subjects that interest me and this is one of them. No worries about the late reply, I’m also behind on just about everything with all of this chaos going on. I’m so sorry you’ve been sick, I hope you’re doing well. It is very eye opening to learn about the history in Palestine when a lot of people thought this started on October 7th, so spreading awareness and being open to learning is so important! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 thank you for reading and being understanding. Feel better!!
I was attacked online for expressing the same belief. What is antisemitic about protesting genocide?That is just insane, this was an especially ugly unbalanced troll.
I dealt with it by reporting it, blocking her and letting it go.
unbelievably nasty and I read no further.
I think everyday about the death and destruction and the besieged children of Gaza being murdered and starved out of utter cruelty.
That’s so wild! I have Jewish family, too, so when I brought that up, I think it really upset her for whatever reason. My husband is white, but some people definitely question it and he gets very tan in the summer, so they question it even more. I think she wanted to… figure out who my Jewish family is? Idk, that’s what I gathered, though. I’m so sorry, there is no reason to get angry with anyone saying “genocide is bad” when it’s inherently bad, war crimes are committed and it’s recorded!! We can see it happening. We KNOW it’s happening.
I dealt with it by sending accounts of people in Gaza and videos of the absolute destruction. This made her full stop, block me and leave me alone. She could talk a lot, but when it came to looking at what she was trying to justify? She couldn’t. It clicked for me that she wasn’t actually aware of the consequences of supporting this. It was blind faith and in some cases just pure hatred. There are plenty of Jewish people opposed to the genocide that get death threats and this actually happened on a post about a Jewish comedian who is pro-Palestine. The hypocrisy is staggering. Please stay safe! I use a service that scrubs my info. from the internet monthly and use aliases online. Thank you for supporting Palestine!!
We quite rightly condemn the kidnapping and forcible removal of 20,000 Ukrainian children to Russia.
Shouldn't we also be condemning the murder (by trauma, disease and starvation) of a similar number of Palestinian children by the IDF?
And now our own country is purportedly complicit in developing a plan to kidnap and remove forcibly every last Gazan to a country which, itself has barely achieved a modicum of stability following a long and brutal civil war.
Yes yes yes yes yes. Nail ~ head. I don’t even use his name and if I have to, I don’t capitalize the t. This group of ultra rich creatures are ruining the lives of millions of people. Being able to condemn the genocide that is recorded thoroughly is the least we should and can be able to do. I’ve been following election truth alliance closely and hoping they can get an audit in swing states. Their data is astonishing. You seem like someone who might be keen to get familiar with their work! Dr. Mebane, who is the best of the best election forensic scientist, said that he found fraud conclusive in PA in at least 3 counties that was consistent with the whole state. The 34xfelon broke the crack in this country that is built on white supremacy and ripped it open. My only hope is that if we ever get back to a semblance of normalcy, we will treat everyone with the respect they deserve. Ugh.
This is a pretty decent read. It gives insight to the conflict regarding the Palestinian’s fight to hold onto the only home they have before being entirely erased as a country.
There has to be compromise to end the war but we must remember, the establishment of Israel was meant to give Jewish refugees a safe haven from the horrific things that were happening at that time. It doesn’t entitle them to continue to expand their borders without proper and fair negotiations with all parties.
We can’t just ’erase’ a country’s existence and/or people’s homes. We have to share to survive at times.
Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down.

Except any person with two brain cells to rub together can look up what 86 means and knows it’s not a physical threat. lol. How dumb do they think these judges are?
There were t-shirts, bumper stickers, who knows what all for sale during Biden’s presidency. 8646. It was common to see that across social media. It was common for maga to tweet that out. Maga have amnesia. It's ridiculous that they want to imprison Comey for simply repeating something that the maga started, except he changed 46 to 47. These people are beyond ridiculous. Secret Service needs to look through Twitter feeds, and they'll drop this immediately. I can't stand the hypocrisy.
I worked in a restaurant and we’d call out 86 for items we were out of. “86 prime rib” meant it was gone. Doesn’t necessarily mean murder, it could also be taken as a call to get him out of office.
How many times has Pam Bondi and Trump been shut down, especially by SCOTUS! Now they want to indict a Democratic Representative on the Oversight Committee doing their job! Get ready to lose again Bondi!
We can thank the GOP MAGA Republicans for that. They are in it for the money and the rich have paid them tax decreases for them. So the real freeloader is in the United States are the super rich.
She was there legally…
She didn’t do anything..
A huge line will be crossed if they do this
Just another to add to the list of lines crossed.
Right…
She'll contest it in court & it will eventually be tossed. This is their new game: act outrageously without impunity & make the news. Back down later when a court throws out their unlawful actions.
The DOJ is no longer observing the Constitution. Peaceful protest and our right to assembly are a fundamental rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
Amen!!!
She’s a woman of color, and most likely of weak finances, subsequently vulnerable and easy to defeat sending a message of intimidation to many and spreading happiness to the MAGA base.
Believe it or not, female congresspeople of color are paid the same as their white make counterparts.
It is about the optics
That's an insulting comment, I can't stand the racism in it. She's getting the same amount of money all the other Congress representatives get. You know it was idiotic to say it, but maybe not.
She is a Black woman.
***the Trump administration was developing a plan to permanently move up to one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya.***
Why isn’t anyone talking more about this?

Hope they do
So that would be a good thing!I would so enjoy seeing him characterized as a war criminal).
And Jack Smith could be the one prosecuting him AGAIN like he did the other war criminals with an 95%+ success before prosecuting Trump 2024.
The ICC needs to step in and put a warrant out for trump and arrest him. How many people have to be hurt by trump before someone holds him accountable?
Unfortunately, since the U.S. doesn’t participate in the I.C.C., it’s difficult.
Putin has an arrest warrant on him so it can be done
We need more cooperation:
If the International Criminal Court (ICC) issues a warrant against someone in a country that is not a party to the Rome Statute, the ICC's powers to enforce the warrant are limited. The ICC relies on cooperation from member states to execute its warrants, and non-member states are not legally obligated to comply.
I know and that is why putin runs free but it certainly limits where he can go. I really don’t understand why we are not a part of that. I feel fortunate we have NATO at this point

In my humble opinion, I’m not sure it is well advised for the white supremacist currently in office to mention anything about antisemitism. The harm the U.S. is responsible for domestically and internationally is unspeakable and it’s only getting worse.
Sad truth: It’s down to us. No one can or will rescue us. When will we step up is the real question.

Yup. If he does this he can’t step foot off a plane in a Geneva conventions member nation without getting arrested. So that would be cool but I still wouldn’t want the Palestinian people moved to anywhere but back to their homes peacefully.
There’s no reason to displace the inhabitants of Gaza, regardless of race. It’s their home.
For reference, Libya is 1,770 km from Gaza. Libya is also a war torn corrupt country. The US and many other countries advise against ALL travel to Libya due to significant security risks, including crime, terrorism, and armed conflict.

Trump wants to send them there to die.
And that’s why it is a violation of the Geneva conventions. It is law that a person cannot be deported to an active war zone. Absolutely disgusting that the regime would do this.
Agreed! This is outrageous and cannot be allowed.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Maybe this is one reason he’s befriending countries not in the GC. I would think the ICC could issue a warrant if his actions are toward or in a foreign country that is in the GC
Yes! Good point.

1. Look up “the Esther project” by the heritage foundation and even if it’s a propagandized read, it’s very insightful as to why they’re doing certain things. It’s bank rolled by AIPAC I’m sure.
Israel supported Hamas as it was a counterweight to the PLO. What’s the PLO you ask? The Palestine Liberization Organization. Its purpose was to liberate Palestine, reach Palestinian self-determination and securing the return of refugees. I think any critical thinker could agree that Israel wouldn’t like the PLO. Hamas has exploited Palestinians civialians. There is not doubt about that.
Right before the 2006 election, Hamas changed their election manifesto. In 2006, over half of Palestinians could not vote; even in 2023 there was no way to definitively gauge Palestines support of hamas. I do not think we truly know how many Palestinians supported Hamas, due to issues with occupied Jerusalem, military incursions and control by Israel.
In 2006, Israel had control over gazas airspace, coastline and restricited people from moving in and out of the West Bank. This, in turn, let military incursions into the territory. In 2007, this only got worse as Israel set a blockade of goods and people. This is being done to people whose land has been occupied and stolen from them. Even with all of this going on, the US, EU and Israel never “accepted” their 2006 election!! Israel had occupied a majority of Jerusalem in the 80’s and there was no guarantee that a city mixed with Palestinians and Israelis, under Israel’s control, would allow Palestinians to properly vote.
East Jerusalem was the “reason” for the cancellation of the last proposed election in May 2021. It was postponed to July 2021. Then it never happened. I mean, it is a good reason. 150k Palestinians, half of E. Jerusalems population, were unsure of their ability to vote due to Israeli forces. Over half of Palestinians could not vote in the last election in 2006, so calling Hamas their chosen leader is propaganda pushed by Israel I am sure.
A little fact that was over looked a lot I think: the 47xfelon liable of SA actually dismantled the PLO office in DC during his first regime! Why would he do that if it wasn’t something pushed by… someone else opposed to it? The PLO was a threat to Israel and Palestinian civilians did not get a say in the matter.
Being antisemitic is being mean, threatening, dehumanizing or bullying Jews, because they are Jewish. It’s actually a fact that most people in Palestine are Semites compared to Israel! Zionism is a monolithic ideology and Zionists think that any criticism to Israel is a criticism to Judaism and that’s not the case. At all. Judaism is a religion. Saying that Israel is committing a genocide, using war crime tactics and an ethnic cleansing of Palestine is not antisemitism! Saying you don’t like what a country is doing is not insulting a religion lol. It’s just insane the lengths Zionists will go. I’ve been called a terrorist and doxed for supporting Palestine. Don’t listen to them, your heart is definitely in the right place 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thank you. You have brought light to this darkness. Very objective and informative. I hope you and your family are safe. I couldn’t imagine how stressful it must be getting doxxed.
Omg of course! Thats really kind. I’ve been stalked/harassed (totally unrelated) so it was kind of like, meh, that’s pathetic lol. They blocked me as soon as I shared accounts of real life people in Gaza showing the destruction. They’re looking the other way and standing firm by way of propaganda. It’s sad, but also ridiculous when I have Jewish family and never said anything negative about Jewish people, or the religion- nothing at all. We can only control ourselves and it shows how much they don’t want to believe, or even see what they’re supporting and find something/someone to blame other than the actual people causing this.
Neither did I and I have Jewish family, too, that are completely against this genocide, that is what it is and it is a cruel cold war.
It’s all about one’s own perspective on the world. There was a Native American fable I read by Barry Lopez from his book “Giving Birth to Thunder, Sleeping with his Daughter” It explains why western civilization is always too far out or too close to their own nose in seeing the world for what it is. The division in our world would seem to benefit from reading and learning from some of Coyote’s lessons in my opinion. Cheers to you and I hope you have a nice long weekend.
I appreciate the recommendation!! I could not agree more that sentiment. “American exceptionalism” is such a great term and I think more people are starting to see through the bullshit. We can’t afford anything and health related incidents are the number one reason for bankruptcy. When you see this country for what it is, there’s no going back. I had an abnormal upbringing with a lot of trauma and neglect, but had a liberal mom who was an opera singer/voice teacher and a bio-dad who is ultra conservative far right and christianity is his whole identity. Being able to see who was “good” as a teen helped me make that decision on my own and I’m glad I had that autonomy. I know there are so many people stuck in their way of life due to their home and family, so it’s important to keep talking about this. Some people do get out (religion, political views etc whatever *it* may be) and sometimes coming across a simple comment on the internet makes a huge difference. Sorry for rambling, I could get stuck on this topic! Wishing you the best and thank you again for recommending that.
Thank you for this. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the situation in more detail. I remember the PLO very well. And I agree Hamas has exploited the Palestinians. I guess this is why there are books and books in this subject and yet it is ever changing. I don’t know what you do but it sounds like you could teach a class on this. Also sorry my comment is so late I’ve been sick but I really like reading about what exactly has happened and is happing between Israel and the Palestinians.
Of course!! It’s such a complex history, this is a tiny part. My mom and step-dad went to Palestine years ago and they had a Palestinian driver that they spent a lot of time with. They said he was so kind and had nothing bad to say about anyone; even while having to go through check point after check point with armed guards and military just to get home. That alone speaks volumes about the Palestinian people IMO. I just really enjoy learning about history and knowing everything I possibly can about subjects that interest me and this is one of them. No worries about the late reply, I’m also behind on just about everything with all of this chaos going on. I’m so sorry you’ve been sick, I hope you’re doing well. It is very eye opening to learn about the history in Palestine when a lot of people thought this started on October 7th, so spreading awareness and being open to learning is so important! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 thank you for reading and being understanding. Feel better!!
I was attacked online for expressing the same belief. What is antisemitic about protesting genocide?That is just insane, this was an especially ugly unbalanced troll.
I dealt with it by reporting it, blocking her and letting it go.
unbelievably nasty and I read no further.
I think everyday about the death and destruction and the besieged children of Gaza being murdered and starved out of utter cruelty.
That’s so wild! I have Jewish family, too, so when I brought that up, I think it really upset her for whatever reason. My husband is white, but some people definitely question it and he gets very tan in the summer, so they question it even more. I think she wanted to… figure out who my Jewish family is? Idk, that’s what I gathered, though. I’m so sorry, there is no reason to get angry with anyone saying “genocide is bad” when it’s inherently bad, war crimes are committed and it’s recorded!! We can see it happening. We KNOW it’s happening.
I dealt with it by sending accounts of people in Gaza and videos of the absolute destruction. This made her full stop, block me and leave me alone. She could talk a lot, but when it came to looking at what she was trying to justify? She couldn’t. It clicked for me that she wasn’t actually aware of the consequences of supporting this. It was blind faith and in some cases just pure hatred. There are plenty of Jewish people opposed to the genocide that get death threats and this actually happened on a post about a Jewish comedian who is pro-Palestine. The hypocrisy is staggering. Please stay safe! I use a service that scrubs my info. from the internet monthly and use aliases online. Thank you for supporting Palestine!!
That is just crazy!
We are all human but some make themselves into monsters and they create more monsters,
We quite rightly condemn the kidnapping and forcible removal of 20,000 Ukrainian children to Russia.
Shouldn't we also be condemning the murder (by trauma, disease and starvation) of a similar number of Palestinian children by the IDF?
And now our own country is purportedly complicit in developing a plan to kidnap and remove forcibly every last Gazan to a country which, itself has barely achieved a modicum of stability following a long and brutal civil war.
Evil, thy name is Trump.
Yes yes yes yes yes. Nail ~ head. I don’t even use his name and if I have to, I don’t capitalize the t. This group of ultra rich creatures are ruining the lives of millions of people. Being able to condemn the genocide that is recorded thoroughly is the least we should and can be able to do. I’ve been following election truth alliance closely and hoping they can get an audit in swing states. Their data is astonishing. You seem like someone who might be keen to get familiar with their work! Dr. Mebane, who is the best of the best election forensic scientist, said that he found fraud conclusive in PA in at least 3 counties that was consistent with the whole state. The 34xfelon broke the crack in this country that is built on white supremacy and ripped it open. My only hope is that if we ever get back to a semblance of normalcy, we will treat everyone with the respect they deserve. Ugh.

This is a pretty decent read. It gives insight to the conflict regarding the Palestinian’s fight to hold onto the only home they have before being entirely erased as a country.

There has to be compromise to end the war but we must remember, the establishment of Israel was meant to give Jewish refugees a safe haven from the horrific things that were happening at that time. It doesn’t entitle them to continue to expand their borders without proper and fair negotiations with all parties.
We can’t just ’erase’ a country’s existence and/or people’s homes. We have to share to survive at times.
Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
CHECKS AND BALANCES
That seems to be out the window. 🥺
Way past that...no checks for the unbalanced is more accurate.
Except any person with two brain cells to rub together can look up what 86 means and knows it’s not a physical threat. lol. How dumb do they think these judges are?
There were t-shirts, bumper stickers, who knows what all for sale during Biden’s presidency. 8646. It was common to see that across social media. It was common for maga to tweet that out. Maga have amnesia. It's ridiculous that they want to imprison Comey for simply repeating something that the maga started, except he changed 46 to 47. These people are beyond ridiculous. Secret Service needs to look through Twitter feeds, and they'll drop this immediately. I can't stand the hypocrisy.
It could be a number for anything,seriously???
I worked in a restaurant and we’d call out 86 for items we were out of. “86 prime rib” meant it was gone. Doesn’t necessarily mean murder, it could also be taken as a call to get him out of office.
86 is used in restaurants to mean “We are out of that”.
How many times has Pam Bondi and Trump been shut down, especially by SCOTUS! Now they want to indict a Democratic Representative on the Oversight Committee doing their job! Get ready to lose again Bondi!
We can thank the GOP MAGA Republicans for that. They are in it for the money and the rich have paid them tax decreases for them. So the real freeloader is in the United States are the super rich.
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.🤣😟 Glad you haven't lost your sense of humor. It's a challenge!
I'm so over everything
We are too!
Thank you for staying on top of things.
🌷
Then here is your anthem! https://youtu.be/3KNsBCf34fQ
Thanks, Aaron. Stay safe.
I guess they're too stupid to realize that yesterday was 8647 days since 9-11-2001
WOW!
wow
Enough of arresting democrats for protesting- Bullshit!
That reality show is so dystopian and sick. They are forced to debase themselves only to be swiftly deported when they are cut. It’s disgusting!
Does it actually exist?
Ethnic cleansing is a war crime and crime against humanity!!!
Thank you for doing so much hard work, dangerous work for all of us.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when Donnie gets the Moody's news.
Gee, why am I not surprised that Alito and Thomas were the two opposing votes?
They certainly are the most flagrantly corrupt.
Don’t worry he’ll blame it on Biden and Obama.
When did 86 morph from “deny (liquor) service” to “eliminate”? Is this really wide spread now?
