California Love Palestine. First of Many. Richmond the first city in United States stating solidarity with Palestinian people.
California Love Palestine. First of Many. Richmond the first city in United States stating solidarity with Palestinian people.
Historic step, hours after Biden heartless to Palestine, pro-Israel resolution in Capitol. I wonder if there any lesson to be gleaned from compulsory demand by settler colonies to disavow atrocities
Richmond 10.21pm
Everything must be started from one. ‘The first of many'.’ California Governor [and Democrat, like Biden] Gavin Christopher Newsom shake hand and laugh together with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. And in Richmond, people decide for other issues.
Richmond, California just became the first city in the United States to pass a resolution stating solidarity with the Palestinian people. Entire population of Richmond just around 110-112k. Entire muslim america and arab america in [entire] California just only 504k - 505k. But this step may will follow by other cities in US soil and even in Europe soil.
This resolution just around 3 hours after heartless statement by Biden about Palestine - Israel. Biden doesn't have confidence in the Gaza death toll: "I have no notion if Palestinians are telling the truth...I'm sure innocents have been killed & it is the price of waging war. Israel should be incredibly careful to ensure they're going after the folks propagating this war. If Biden allows an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza, it will be a catastrophe for the people on the ground, and a political problem that could land Trump in the White House. How are we supposed to convince young people to vote for a guy who supports war crimes? Truly horrifying language from Biden to try and not only erase the 6,500 innocent Palestinians murdered by Israel, but excuse it as the "price of waging war." We are watching in real time the White House justify genocide while asking Congress for billions more to keep doing it.

US State Department staff are preparing urgent dissent cables over Washington's support for Israel's relentless bombing campaign of Gaza, investigation by Middle East Eye reconfirmed similar investigation by Huffington Post 6 days ago. “Officials are growing increasingly frustrated with the Biden administration'
They didn’t vote no because it affirms support for Israel, they voted no because the resolution doesn’t acknowledge any Palestinian civilian killed by the Israeli government and only acknowledges Israeli civilian deaths.

Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Pentagon is preparing its defense systems and troops in neighboring countries for an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza, which would surely explode into a bloody, regional war. A ground invasion must be opposed by anyone of conscience before it’s far too late.
Plestia Alaqad beg to you to speak up for Palestine
“The US is using Israel’s delay in launching a ground offensive in Gaza to rush defensive systems into the region amid growing fears that Iran and its proxies will escalate attacks on US forces and allied interests once the invasion begins, according to officials. The move to stiffen its security in the region and build up a sufficient defence capability to deter Iran comes after a dozen or so attacks on US troops since October 18 that have wounded two-dozen US personnel, officials said. Washington is girding for more as Israel prepares for its military assault on Gaza.”
=========
Nearly 6,600 [6,547] Palestine in Gaza alone killed [2,704 children, 1,584 women] by Israel. 127 Palestinian killed in the West Bank. Maybe [in Gaza] 8,500 - 9,000 because still a lot of victims under the rubbles.
2nd time Plestia Alaqad meet Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta in Episcopal Anglican Baptist Hospital / al-Ahly Hospital —- a hospital bombed by Israel. Plestia camped out in hospital because only hospital stll have a generator - electricity.
They're there, witnessing firsthand what happens & reporting despite the odds.
=======
Gazans people is normal people. Love puppy too like Caucasian and other people, other human. Via Plestia Alaqad, Gazans journo. 21 Palestinian journo killed.

“YOU CANNOT POKE A SLEEPING LION WITH A STICK AND EXPECT IT TO GO ON SLEEPING...” I wish no blood spilled on either side but are you forgetting, as many people are, the TERROR ATTACK by Hamas on Israel that started this whole bloody fiasco? 1400, including all from infants to elderly cut down-murdered, and 200+ taken, kidnapped, people of all ages.
What country backed this terror attack? Does it even matter?
Hamas will not let peace stand. They started the killing several years ago also and then as now hid amongst the civilian population of Gaza, knowing Israel would retaliate and knowing the blood of innocents would be the cost of their terror attacks.
I hear nothing of this from your news letter. I hate all the constant war, constant killing where children grow up malnourished and uneducated because of these traditional pissing contest, ceaseless terror activity that never ever ends. I have no control over any of it and Israel I can’t speak for them. They have no place to go. We put them there after the holocaust and that’s when it started. Instead of peaceful tolerance living side by side, the big picture that I have always seen is the intolerance from the beginning that they are there.
Is it more important to constantly attack and draw fire than to sit down at the table and come to a resolution that settles once and for all a peaceful existence for both Palestinians and Jews? No one is leaving. No one is going anywhere. There is no place to go.
How many refugees can the rest of the world handle all because a few “men” at the top decide that murder and terrorism is the answer?
MEN! MEN! MEN! The ego of men is the cause of more death-blamed on religion-than any other cause in history.
Men decide-we must attack we must kill we must terrorize until we get our wants and when those wants are settled they, MEN, will come up with another excuse to keep the atrocities alive, and killing.
There is no excuse for it to have lasted this long. None.
Any reasonable people would’ve settled down by now.
People cannot live in the past. And that is the crux of the matter. The hate, the hate history.
They did this so we’ll do that.
It’s bill shit and it’s time to stop.
Biden is not evil or bad. Biden like all US presidents is caught up in this and instead of the blame going to terrorist organizations it goes to the US. The US that has offered sanctuary to everyone who needed it from everywhere.
JUST STOP THE FIGHTING. STOP THE KILLING.
Ask Hamas why they attacked and kidnapped then ran and hid among innocent civilians.
This fight makes men feel big. They aren’t big.
The relentless instigation of fighting is going to hold the people of the region back in the stone age as it has for so long and these people of the region will never know life as they should but it’s more important there for MEN to prove this or that than it is to allow everyone peace.
