Oakland, California passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. |
Nexstar Media which owns Mediaite, The Hill and Abrams Media is parroting Israeli propaganda. The former Fox media head, Bill Shine is working on making a new right wing outlet.
Dan Abrams, a media agitator who also works for NewsNation and ABC is pro-Israel and has openly criticized those who oppose American policies towards Israel.
Once again, the junk food media, President Joe Biden and Israel got it wrong.
Hamas unleashed a terrorist attack because they fear nothing more than Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 28, 2023
To continue down the path of terror, violence, killing, and war is to give Hamas what they seek.
We can’t do that.
This did not start on October 7th.
This started in 1948 when Europeans formed a resolution that allocated Palestinians to a Nakba. Jewish settlers and military forces kicked Palestinians from their homes and forced them into refugee camps. The right of return is not adhered, Israel continues to build illegal settlements, the blockade to Gaza, the defacing of al Aqsa Mosque, shooting women and children, moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, illegal invasions in Syria and Lebanon, and not adhering to the UN when it comes to govern rules passed post World War II.
Hamas is resistance to the apartheid and occupation. They are not anti-semitic. They are not hateful towards Jews or other religion, they are people who lost family to the Israeli Defence Force and they have other choice. They rather die than be under a brutal occupation. They would like to see Palestine return to it glory.
Those who believe in support for the Palestinians are subjected to dehumanizing rhetoric and accusations of being a terrorist sympathizer or a traitor to America.
Israel loves it because it suits their propaganda campaign. Younger voters see through the noise. They are warning Democrats that their support for Israel will doom them.
They ignore the cries.
They need to line up a candidate who is Black, a part of the LGBTQ community, not interested in parroting talking points from a foreign country and more focused on serving the constituents of the 15th Congressional District in New York.
If he is defeated, it may send a message to others who are willing to side with AIPAC, the most powerful Pro-Israel lobbyist group in the country.
In Oaklamd, California tension mounted at a public meeting.
A video from a city council session in Oakland has gone viral over a number of bizarre takes on the Israel-Hamas war.
During a City Hall special session on Monday night, Oakland’s city council voted for a resolution supporting a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution calls for the unrestricted entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza, a demand of “respect for international law” and the release of all hostages still held by the Hamas terror organization.
Anti-Zionism as Antisemitism:

“Israel murdered their own people on October 7th.”
The massacre of Jews is a “fabricated narrative.”
“Calling Hamas a terrorist organization is…racist.”

While the resolution succeeded with a unanimous vote, the council voted beforehand to reject an amendment proposed by Council member Dan Kalb. The amendment, which failed with a 6-2 vote, would have expressly condemned international terrorism and Hamas’ instigation of the war with the atrocities they committed on October 7th.
As the resolution and proposed amendments were deliberated over the five hour session, the council heard from a number of members of the public who shared their fiery opinions about Israel, Hamas, and who is ultimately responsible for the situation in Gaza. A montage of the public comment period went viral on social media — as many of the speakers downplayed Hamas’ actions, denied them outright and blamed the IDF for killing Israelis.
Here are some of their statements:
“There’s not been beheadings of babies and rapings. Israel murdered their own people. On October 7th.”
“Calling Hamas a terrorist organization is ridiculous, racist and plays into genocidal propaganda that is flooding our media and that we should be doing everything possible to combat.”
“I support the right of Palestinians to resist occupation, including through Hamas, the armed wing of the unified Palestinian resistance.”
“As an Arab, asking with this context to condemn Hamas is very anti-Arab, racist”
“The notion that this was a massacre of Jews is a fabricated narrative. Many of those killed on October 7th, including children, were killed by the IDF. An amendment condemning Hamas is bald propaganda…
“To hear them complain about Hamas violence is like listening to a wife-beater complain when his wife finally stands up and fights back.
“Did anyone else notice that those who oppose this resolution are old white supremacists?”
“There’s been a lot of atrocity propaganda, ranging from claims of headed babies to mass rape.”
“Hamas is not a terrorist organization just because the U.S. and Israel deem it. Hamas is a resistance organization that fighting for the liberation of Palestinian people and their land.”
