Not just liberals; I’ve watched self-described socialists and communists insist that they can live with the #genocide as long as #Trump’s not the genocider. Just atrocious rationalizations of inhumanity.

A word to the wise.

“A swarm of journalists … opened drawers filled with scrubs and bed linens, rummaged through boxes of surgical tools, and meandered through the basement of Sahel Hospital, in southern Beirut, entering even its morgue and toxic waste closets.

A warning from the Israeli army on Monday evening that #Hezbollah was storing ‘hundreds of millions of dollars in paper currency and gold’ underneath the hospital shocked its staff, who invited #press on Tuesday to inspect the area”

Watching Israeli tanks open fire on Kamal Adwan Hospital — the only open medical center left in northern #Gaza — on Al Jazeera now.

Tonight in Beirut.

US tax dollars are destroyers of worlds.

Based.

There are no lines in the sand for #Democrats anymore. Trump’s demise is their only moral imperative.

MLK wrote, “Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

It’s especially true if your tax dollars are paying for these war crimes unfolding in real time.

“not Carolina but Virginia, not Fort Sumter, but Harper's Ferry ... not Major Anderson, but John Brown began the war that ended American slavery .... Until the blow was struck the prospect for freedom was dim, shadowy, and uncertain”

“medical workers have offered a threefold perspective on [#Israel’s] attacks on [#Gaza’s] medical infrastructure. As survivors, they are direct ear- and eyewitnesses …. They are expert witnesses, able to interpret physical injuries, understanding the types of weapons that can inflict them. But … as hospitals have functioned as shelters and nodes of connection .., medical professionals have also become secondary witnesses, passing on testimonies shared … by civilians”

“To any terrorist who kills Americans, threatens the American people, or threatens our troops, or our interests, know this, - we will always bring you to justice.” — #KamalaHarris

No Israeli terrorists have ever been brought to justice for killing these #US citizens:

Shireen Abu Akleh
Mohammad Alkhdour
Rachel Corrie
Furkan Dogan
Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi
Jacob Flickinger
Orwa Hammad
Tawfiq Jabbar
Kamel Ahmad Jawad
Mahmoud Shaalan

Arab Americans are second class citizens in the #politics of #Harris

Bernie Sanders no longer has a sharp edge. He’s a blunt instrument.

What a nightmare.

“We should not be letting leaders in countries that still have statues and buildings dedicated to Churchill, Leopold and Bush decide the legacy of our freedom fighters.”

#Biden-#Harris dishing out death directly now. No longer just arming proxies to handle the dirty work.

Angela Davis draws the links.

I’ll wager that there are many, many #Democrats who believe that voters who refuse to compromise on ending #genocide are a “cancer” to the party. BTW, I’m married to a cancer survivor. I am personally bothered by her analogy.

Former #UN lawyer warns #US soldiers:

“The US is sending US troops to #Israel together with more #military hardware, to support an oppressive foreign #apartheid regime currently carrying out #genocide in #Palestine & aggression in neighboring countries. Those soldiers should be on notice that they will be legally accountable for any involvement in #warcrimes, crimes against humanity, aggression, or genocide. ‘Following orders’ from superiors is not a defense.”

Two of the Palestinians burned to death yesterday in a tent outside Al-Aqsa Hospital yesterday by #US bombs were mother and son. The son’s immolation was documented on video.

“Sha'ban and his family before the genocide. His mother was also burnt alive”

Losing significant Michigan Arab American endorsements is abject failure by #HarrisWalz2024. Michigan has hundreds of thousands of Arab American voters. It’s like #Harris took them for granted. In a state she needs to win to beat #Trump.
