I'm going to repost this from 7/18/2023 @ 9:08PM, and add a few addendums.  

They really can do whatever they want and there is very little anyone can do about it right now other than stay loud and on point, continue to elevate the voices of those people who have been extinguished or silenced or are not heard enough. Their military/defense is a touchstone industry in Israel, just as it is here, one that entities all over the world are invested in growing exponentially. Peace is bad for business. If you don't think all of this is completely intertwined with dominant global capitalist control and the need to crush those that stand in their way, or even those who speak out about it, at a time when the audacity of the wealthy increases alongside the intended wealth disparity that is widening by the second, pushing civilization to multiple breaking points, just wait and see what they do with Gaza once it's been completely razed. Where they point their bottomless US backed defense fund at next.  

People who want peace, a global economic revolution in order to address the current climate change catastrophe, to confront corruption and the rigged justice systems that protect it, those who oppose the ability of the wealthy to legally and/or illegally steal everything they can from the rest of us are all going to be labeled as one big group, as we were during the Bush years, publicly shamed, exiled, to be jailed, or worse. Only now the public is both more informed and less informed, depending on where their information comes from, and by design, both are posed as a direct threat to one another.  Individuals and corporate entities have more money and collective power than they ever have in human history.  They own international, national, and local media, they own the mega-churches, direct massive cults, they've methodically dismantled small communities, as more and more people are caught up in the criminal justice system, working multiple jobs, and generally more depressed and/or mentally preoccupied than ever.  This may be the most collective power we ever have. If we don't back each other now they'll make sure we won't ever be able to in the future.

Did you know that Netanyahu has been under indictment since 12/19/2018 and on trial for fraud, bribery, and breach of trust since January of 2020 but changes he's making to the judiciary has made it harder for him to be prosecuted? I feel like a lot of Americans are missing some important context to who Netanyahu is and how that piece of shit has played a part in fucking up that region's politics for more than 30 years.

Also, ever heard of "Team Jorge?" It was barely talked about, so it's understandable if you haven't. 

Anyway, the repost, because it has been obvious that Netanyahu has been agitating for this kind of response to something, anything for a long time. Hamas leadership gave them exactly what they wanted: a reason to use all of those military machines, munitions, and tools, while exterminating the Palestinian people, creating prime real estate for settlers, and in the process making the monster Netanyahu and his intentions unimpeachable.

These 9 people will probably be the only democrats to get any money from me in the next election cycle:

Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Andre Carson, Cori Bush, Ayanna Pressley and Delia Ramirez

The rest can all go fuck themselves.  I don't give a shit how "tricky" it is for some candidates, take a stand or you're part of the problem. Educate your citizens if they're misinformed or wrong on the issue. If you really give a shit and you see a problem with a fascist government, don't just accept their argument or their parameters!  MAKE YOUR FUCKING CASE LOUDLY, YOU LAZY FUCK! Dare to lose by telling the truth. Thing is, they don't give a shit about Israel or the Israeli people, they just want votes. Believe it or not, there are plenty of Israelis and American Jews who are not lying to themselves or playing empty political games with people's lives to keep the status quo.  Enough of this shit! 

These 9 people might not always be right on every issue, but they have a conscience and they are not blind or selectively stupid. This is partly a generational issue, as are most policy caverns these days. There are so many more of us than them (the stupid fucking libs) and more turn 18 every single day.  Most people just don't actually know how far to the left they are because they're taught that they're a "liberal" and "nobody wants to be far left" which is really just left. A lot of Gen Xers and millennials don't even know there is a difference, which is what makes it so easy for the extreme "moderates" to manipulate them.  The fucking Boomer libs and their proteges deliberately refuse to come into the 21st century. They think they can shame, purposely mislabel, and threaten anyone into allowing them to live in the past by denying the reality of the present and future that we are in and will live in (or more likely, painfully die in, thanks to them). Go fuck yourselves.  WE ARE allied with Israelis, the same ones who are also trying to push back against the breakdown of their own of government and DON'T SUPPORT APARTHEID EITHER. They are also under the authoritarian thumb of their own fucking government. Just like the Palestinians, they're everywhere and they're not going away either.  Listen and these kids will teach you about how you've given up your right to shame anyone about anything. Your "moderate" politics are so outwardly offensive, hypocritical, horrendous, antiquated, and self-centered no one gives a shit about any of your opinions anymore.  Except your "friends" across the aisle, of course.

Those cowards know they're fucking wrong.  That's why they need a strong-armed, insincere resolution deliberately dripping with the fucking blood of children, journalists, and people just generally trying to peacefully live their fucking lives.  The entire goal of the exercise is to put a target on the backs of those who dare oppose them.  Kind of like what happens in Israel.  It is a blatantly antagonistic, gauche display of "we can do whatever we want, and you can't do anything about."  It's utterly fucking disgusting and FUCK every democrat who signed it, no matter how "tricky" it is for you.
