Are We U.S. Citizens or Not? Are We Israeli Citizens or Not? A Barbaric Netanyahu Idea to Bombing Gaza
Are We U.S. Citizens or Not? Are We Israeli Citizens or Not? A Barbaric Netanyahu Idea to Bombing Gaza
It’s your genocidal fascists who put us Jews in danger by conflating Jewishness & zionism & perpetuating the antisemitic myth that all Jews support Israel. You don’t speak for Jew.
DC 1.51AM
The disparity between political will and the people's will in the US, entire European Union, UK is truly astonishing.
Rep. Max Miller tells Republican Jewish Coalition: "Israel will get a lot bigger, not a lot smaller. We will take back that land" He previously said Israel would turn Gaza "into a parking lot" and that Israel shouldn't be beholden to rules of engagement.

How will Israel's current ground offensive and bombing campaign ensure they don't end up killing Israeli hostages? End up killing American - Israeli [dual citizenship] hostages? End up killing American - Palestinian as Gaza resident? All terrible for their loved ones and family members.
Biden’s comments on the Palestinian death toll is going to haunt him. I hope he attempts to walk it back or say something that acknowledges the heavy casualties especially after what is happening now. He may don’t care amid 8,000 [or maybe already 10,000 killed in Gaza alone, because 2k still under the rubble], 50-60 of them is American - Palestine citizen. Not one. Not singular like [American - Palestine] the late Shireen Abu Akleh.
Can't help but wonder if Biden's strategy of hugging Netanyahu close won't backfire terribly. Netanyahu is a totally discredited cynical leader who is co-author of the tragic Israel-Palestine mess. America will be blamed around the world for every civilian death. In Gaza, not only Israeli - American as hostages [alongside single citizenship of Israeli], but also 600-620 American - Palestinian.
Many Muslim, Arab & young Dem voters realize Trump is the far worse option. They aren't dumb. Many feel dehumanized & insulted by Biden's recent callous comments about Palestinian civilians & support for Israel's attack on Gaza.
It's a feeling of disappointment, betrayal and pain that their lives just don't matter to this Administration, one that claims to care about a diverse, big tent in rhetoric As such, they are conflicted and feel stuck between an open white nationalist (Trump) and ‘genocidal - enabler barbaric’ Biden.
Right after he said it, I knew it'd be disastrous. It was just a final straw for many who by the way are not irrational or fringe etc. Again, it's how people feel. What if not only muslim and arab america, but also a lot of progressive Jew [who support Palestine] no longer vote Biden. Democrats' rating of Biden slips; overall approval only 37%

According to the Gospel of Matthew, the first Gospel in the canon of the New Testament, Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. Palestine is oldest Christian nation, literally.
Massive dip in Israeli public's support for a ground invasion.
On 19 Oct: 65% support ground invasion of Gaza.
On 26 Oct: 29%.
49% say they prefer the army to wait. What a difference a week can make.
2 Years and 3 months ago, Israel barbaric bombing, full-bombing 8 days including Eid-el-Fitr 2021, holy - sacred day for Muslim
How does any of this make Israel and the region safer? How does this protect Israeli civilians and make them more secure? For those predictably responding with killing Hamas will make Israel safe, you are saying Palestinian civilians, especially the children, who have been killed by Israel's bombs are all Hamas and responsible. You have dehumanized all of them to rationalize collective punishment. And it still won't make Israel safer or more secure.
Biden doesn't see the traps. He is walking right into them and alienating all the Global South and many in the Global North.
Dominique Marie François René Galouzeau de Villepin (French pronunciation: [dɔminik maʁi fʁɑ̃swa ʁəne ɡaluzo də vilpɛ̃]) with Apolline de Malherbe
Interview on Gaza of Dominique De Villepin [next I write DDV], former Prime Minister of France, who famously led France's opposition to the Iraq war and who, maybe the french diplomat the West has produced in decades. Important, so incredibly well argued.
DDV =
"Hamas has set a trap for us, and this trap is one of maximum horror, of maximum cruelty. And so there's a risk of an escalation in militarism, of more military interventions, as if we could with armies solve a problem as serious as the Palestinian question. There's also a second major trap, which is that of Occidentalism. We find ourselves trapped, with Israel, in this western bloc which today is being challenged by most of the international community.
[Presenter Apolline de Malherbe: What is Occidentalism?]
DDV =
Occidentalism is the idea that the West, which for 5 centuries managed the world's affairs, will be able to quietly continue to do so. And we can clearly see, even in the debates of the French political class, that there is the idea that, faced with what is currently happening in the Middle East, we must continue the fight even more, towards what might resemble a religious or a civilizational war. That is to say, to isolate ourselves even more on the international stage. This is not the way, especially since there's a third trap, which is that of moralism. And here we have in a way the proof, through what is happening in Ukraine and what is happening in the Middle East, of this double standard that is denounced everywhere in the world, including in recent weeks when I travel to Africa, the Middle East, or Latin America. The criticism is always the same: look at how civilian populations are treated in Gaza, you denounce what happened in Ukraine, and you are very timid in the face of the tragedy unfolding in Gaza. Consider international law, the second criticism that is made by the global south. We sanction Russia when it aggresses Ukraine, we sanction Russia when it doesn't respect the resolutions of the United Nations, and it's been 70 years that the resolutions of the United Nations have been voted in vain and that Israel doesn't respect them.
[Presenter Apolline de Malherbe: Do you believe that the Westerners are currently guilty of hubris?]
DDV =
Westerners must open their eyes to the extent of the historical drama unfolding before us to find the right answers.
[Presenter: What is the historical drama? I mean, we're talking about the tragedy of October 7th first and foremost, right?]
DDV = Of course, there are these horrors happening, but the way to respond to them is crucial. Are we going to kill the future by finding the wrong answers.

Cry of genocide Oct 10 [17 DAYS AGO]. For newest current [ground operation Oct 27] will be more horror, but still no signal since 7.50pm Gaza / Tel Aviv last night. Turn the sound on and listen. This is the sound of genocide. Obviously doesn’t make the video any less bad, but a lot of people sharing it think it was filmed today or yesterday and that’s not true.

[English version] more than 7,000 Gazans list casualties click here. First 88 names are from the same extended family [ASTAL or ASATAL], ranging in ages from 72 years old to under a year. It goes on and on like this. The next 72 from one family [HUSUNA or HUSNA, started number 89 after all-88-of ASTAL or ASATAL] wiped out too, forever. Minimum 47 families, consisting of over 500 civilian individuals, have been entirely wiped out from the civil registry. No more ASTAL or ASATAL still living on earth forever. No more HUSNA or HUSUNA forever. 7,703 Palestinian in Gazans killed by Israel, including 3,195 children and 1,863 women 700 in last 36 hours.
Plestia Alaqad yesterday share her thought after 23 hours no signal. Her post around 12.51pm Gaza / Tel Aviv or around 5.51am DC / Dearborn Michigan

-prada- Adi Mulia Pradana is a Helper. Former adviser (President Indonesia) Jokowi for mapping 2-times election. I used to get paid to catch all these blunders—now I do it for free. Trying to work out what's going on, what happens next. Now figure out and or prevent catastrophic of everything.
We caused families in Iraq to suffer like this and it was an atrocity that I hope and pray will never happen again. But Hamas knew when they poked the sleeping bear with a sharp stick, they knew people in Gaza would suffer. They hide out among them. They knew what they were starting. No one can take blame from them. They own it whether they accept it or not
Disparity if people and politics. The United States is a democracy. We are a country of laws. If Justice. Where even if you are at the top you cannot get away with crime.you will be indicted. You will not be thrown in jail and forgotten or be beaten or tortured. The jail will be decent. You will make phone calls and have certain rights even as a prisoner.
Most people living in a democracy want to keep it that way even though we disagree about many things, even though we have lying politicians, but most importantly we have The United States Constitution and what ever the US and the European Union are doing, while not perfect, is working for the most part.
Look all over Western countries and you will find whole communities from the Middle East. Who escaped from war, they escaped from poverty, they escaped countries where women have absolutely no rights as a human being, where Husbands own their wives like chattel, and can treat them worse, they can beat them for any slight real or perceived and even murder them and call it an “honor killing.”
No. We will never return to the Stone Age or live in the Stone Age where religion rules. It flat out doesn’t work. I’m with Jesus when He said “give to Cesar what is Cesar’s and give to God what is Gods. He’s saying they are separate and regardless of who wants prayer in school thst can never happen because who’s prayer? We accept diversity, freedom of religion and freedom not to be religious. We have laws that will punish anyone terrorizing people because of their race, religion and yes sexual preference just because most religious people would outcast and ostriches them. We have laws to protect them even if we don’t agree with them. You don’t have to like the way others live to respect their right to live as they are. I don’t agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it. And these things are only a drop in the bucket. I couldn’t live in an autocratic society where my rights as a woman and a human are not respected and protected. So many women do. It’s crime.
No. Our country has its rough patches but we cone through because we a have the basic ingredient needed to remain free. Born free. Remain free. We will never be ruled by any church or temple or by men only. I hate that we do business with countries that are not protected.
Bottom line. Look around you. There are huge pockets of middle eastern populations liveng and working free for the first time which is something they never dreamed would happen. We don’t tell them they can’t be Muslim or who they are.
Yes we have ignorant people too, who believe everyone must be a Christian and rule the country like a Christian like they did back when the Church of England laid out the rules to live by. It did not work. I am a red letter Christian and believe in the “teachings” of Jesus. He told the men and women following him to, “above all, love one another”, oh if only the so called Christian’s actually followed His teachings. But regardless it cannot run our government.
All are free to worship as they please.
The only reason people suffer so much in most parts of the Middle East is because men run everything according to their beliefs. They will never bring in companies offering jobs and a better life because it’s so unstable and violent. They will live in the Stone Age-held back by others notion of what they should be, people are starving, dying early because no doctors want to practice there, poor nutrition and near starvation at times, no medicine, just poor people scratching out an existence. North Korea, DPRK is the worst off and the most brain washed.
But US citizens no, we will never allow that.
If you hold the same views as Iran, that Israel shouldn’t be allowed to exist, well any world leader knows by now that it does and will exist and the sooner it’s accepted and men who lead these countries take their giant EGOS in the back seat and keep it there the sooner peace will happen.
Like I said I’m not a big fan of Netanyahu but this one is on Hamas. You can’t take your neighbors as hostages, murder so many old people, women and children.
They tried to over throw our capital even for the sitting President and look what’s happened. They still haven’t finished bringing all of them to Justice but we will.
Donald Trump will follow them because not even a once POTUS can escape Justice. Not here.
