| We must stop the genocide. |
Why do we have to condemn Hamas for kidnapping civilians when you can't condemn Israel for killing Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank?
By the way, Hamas is not in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria or Golan Heights.
Rapper Macklemore is the first Hip-Hop artist to come fotth demanding the U.S. pressure Israel for a ceasefire and and an end to military funding.
He appeared at the Washington, DC #March4Palestine rally on Saturday.
Macklemore addresses rally, stating he knows enough to call it a genocide and expresses sympathy for Israelis but rejects killing innocent humans in retaliation.
“But I know enough to know that this is a genocide,” he said. He added that he was “teachable” and had done some research in the past three weeks. He also expressed his sympathy for the Israelis who lost their lives, but rejected the idea of “killing innocent humans in retaliation”.
The far right is trying to paint peaceful protests as sympathetic to terrorism. They are using Islamophobia and anti-semitism as a wedge to undermine resistance.
Young voters see President Joe Biden as ineffective because he refuses to acknowledge the one sided approach that Israel is carrying out. The Gaza Strip does not have a military.
They lived under military occupation for decades. Too many times we see the junk food media cover this from the perspective of Israel and not Palestine.
The celebrities, lawmakers and people who back Israel are more prone to labeling protesters as the other. Even some of the most notable progressive or non political entertainers support of Israel led to tears in support among fans.
Jamie Lee Curtis, Madonna, Tara Strong, Justin Bieber, Amy Schumer, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Sarah Silverman, Malcolm Nance, Stephanie Ruhle, Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Fred Guttenberg, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), Gal Gadot and Mayim Bialik are notable for supporting Israel.
They are being criticized for their support of Israel by pro-Palestinian activists.
It has become a strain among the Democratic Party. The progressive wing is angered by Biden and Democrats literally giving a blank check to a corrupt leader like Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu had said in earlier 2023 that his plans to make Saudi Arabia an ally would not see Palestinians as a part of it. When Washed Up 45 moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem it literally ended the two-state resolution.
The continuation of settlements in the West Bank and the blockade in the Gaza Strip has been a pressure point for resistance.
Watching Israelis cheer the bombing of the Gaza Strip and dehumanizing them was a boiling point for armed resistance.
Watching the propaganda being pushed by Israel and filtered by the U.S. has led to a downward slide of Biden.
Being a supporter of Palestinians isn't anti-semitic nor is supportive of terrorism.
It is about freedom of the oppressed.
Of the 2.49 million people in the Gaza Strip and 3.2 million in the West Bank, do you actually believe that Hamas is hiding among them?
Or is it the fact that Israeli propaganda has made this notion that one Hamas member is all of them. For collective punishment, disabling necessities, air strikes on hospitals, schools, ambulances and shelters.
Literally they air striked Jabalia again and killed over 200 civilians.
