The Drudge Report doing what it does best.... riling up for clicks. |
Free Palestine.
Ignore the noise.
I know who I am and I don't need to explain to anyone how I feel about the conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip. It was bound to happen. I am almost at a point to disavow the Democratic Party and just continue to vote as an independent. I cannot support this message of blind loyalty to a foreign country and stifling (and dehumanizing) a legitimate opposition toward Israeli propaganda.
Years of oppression and the Israeli settlers defacing of the al-Aqsa Mosque every year has sparked another moment of unrest. The Western leaders are steadfast in condemning the actions of Hamas but refuse to condemn the actions of Israel.
X has become a festering ground for misinformation, propaganda, hate and disingenuous conversations by politicians, celebrities and trolls.
I am certain that my support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took a backseat yesterday when the president called for Israel to defend itself and unilaterally allowed them to use force. He literally allowed the only country with a military force the greenlight to leveling the Gaza Strip. The 2.5 million people are literally trapped in a 145 square mile land with no access to escape without repercussions.
The Israeli blockcade prevents Gazans from leaving to Egypt or Israel. If they enter Israel, they could be shot and killed. The Egyptian government would face retaliation if they aid Gazans with access. Egypt has warned that tensions could harm relations.
The Israeli citizens caught in this have been kidnapped, tortured or murdered by Hamas
There have been over 1,000 Israelis killed. Palestinians are being killed by the Israeli Defence Force in a series of air strikes. There has been over 2,000 Palestinians killed.
All of this is disputed.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a controversial figure in world politics. He is a corrupt leader who is seizing the opportunity to change the subject from his trial and his attempts to change the Supreme Court of Israel. This conflict is the best thing to happen.
I expect Republicans to support the policies of Netanyahu. I find it disheartening that Democrats are on the same page of supporting a right wing leader who is literally trying to dismantle the judiciary and the very democracy they claim Americans admire. What better way to take the country away from his corruption, his borderline fascism and influence peddling, then to launch a full scale war in the Gaza Strip and a fast construction of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Biden, Washed Up 45, about 98% of Congress and the junk food media are fully backing the Israeli strikes.
What infuriates me is that Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Rep. Emilla Sykes (D-OH) and Democratic Party chair Jaime Harrison are backing Israel too.
I won't donate to their campaigns anymore. If they face a primary challenger or a Republican opponent, oh well. I will not support Nina Turner, Cornel West, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Marianne Williamson or any Republican presidential candidates.
I am going to look at politicians as the opportunists they were programmed to be.
The propaganda peddling often labels Palestinians as militants. The propaganda that shows destruction of buildings in Gaza after often excused as hideouts for Hamas.
If Israeli intelligence was a failure when Hamas striked, how can it be legitimate when the IDF is striking missiles on heavily populated areas with the claims of Hamas being stationed there.
The Western media ignores the casualties in Gaza and the West Bank. |
The literal excuse from American lawmakers and Israel is they must wipe Hamas out.
At what cost?
Hamas does not have a military where they can strike from air, sea, ground and social media. Israel does and it has influenced millions.
Far right extremists like Joel Pollack and Laura Loomer are calling for a complete eradication of the Gaza Strip.
Progressive entertainers like Mark Hamill and Tara Strong have blocked or distanced themselves from progressives who support Palestinians and criticize Israel.
Black agitators like Tariq Nasheed see this as an opportunity to grift his "foundational Black American" bullshit.
Gay far right extremist Scott Presler is trying to convince Jewish voters to register as Republicans hereby stating the "duel loyalty" troupe when it comes to Israel.
Republican chairwomen Ronna Romney McDaniel said on GOP Sundays that she sees the conflict as a "perfect opportunity" meaning that the party will exploit tragedy for votes.
This has become one of the most polarizing issues in American politics.
