The children of immigrants and refugees who came to the United States with “American Dream” aspirations are beginning to plan their exits to neighboring countries, or their return to their country of origin.

How can you tell that the United States of America is experiencing a slow collapse?

The importance of language in propaganda is critical. Poet and essayist @LKTuffaha spells it out below ⬇️

PS Lena is a local/int’l gem 💎 with works that are highly renowned & awarded. I’m buying her collection of poetry “Water & Salt” today. Posting link for others to as well.

This has absolutely no connection whatsoever to our murderous, genocidal, immoral, white supremacist, government green lighting white people to commit acts of terrorism for the last 267 years. Nope. Nothing to see here.

May these victims and their families find peace.

Democrats gave us a Republican-lite, war-mongering octogenarian for President. And they really, really, want to give us him again.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

While House Republicans spent the last 22 days electing a Speaker, I've been at work on a funding package that advances our bipartisan national security interests in Israel and Ukraine, secures our border, and invests in families.

Now, we must move swiftly to avoid a shutdown.

Read my full statement on the resolution:

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

Queen Rania of Jordan was interviewed by @amanpour today, and I have posted the entire interview along with some summary notes.

As a student of Jordanian history, I have watched hundreds of interviews with Queen Rania over the last two decades; I have never seen her so frustrated.

In this interview, she is deeply critical of Western nations that have remained silent on what is happening in Gaza.

She calls Israel an apartheid regime and says there is a hyper fixation on Hamas in the context of what Palestinians have gone through for 70 years.

Summary Notes:

The world's reaction [to what Israel is doing in Gaza] shocked people in the Middle East and Jordan.

There is a glaring double standard.

After October 7, the world immediately and unequivocally stood by Israel and condemned the attacks.

But we are seeing silence in the world when it comes to Gaza.

Countries have stopped expressing concern but always declare support for Israel.

Are we being told that killing an entire family at gunpoint (referring to Hamas in Israel) is wrong, but it's okay to shell them to death (referring to Israel bombing Gaza)?

There has been so much suffering, and the world is silent.

In our world (Arab/Middle East), it's made the Western world complicit.

When asked by Christiane how she reacted to the October 7 attacks on Israelis, Queen Rania said, of course, I was shocked; we condemn the killing of any civilian.

Why isn't there equal condemnation now [of what's happening in Gaza]?

This conflict did not begin on October 7.

For many Palestinians, war has never left. This is a 75-year-old story of overwhelming death and displacement under an apartheid regime that occupies the land.

It's not about being pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian.

Palestinian people have been living too long under oppression.

They do not have freedom of movement.

There's a hyper-fixation on Hamas. This is a problem that long proceeds Hamas.

Asked if she believes that Hamas has brought this war down on Gazans, is Hamas responsible for it?

Queen Rania says every country has a right to defend itself, but not through collective punishment or war crimes.

Why is when Israel does this, it's self-defense, but when Palestinians do it, it's called terrorism?

One is the occupier; one is the occupied. One has a military, the other one doesn't.

Why is the Israeli narrative always prioritized?

On October 7, the actions were called "savagery barbaric."

We are not seeing the atrocities in Palestine described in the same way.

She says President Biden mentioned that he saw 40 beheaded babies and retracted that. She criticizes CNN for its coverage, but Christiane pushes back.

Queen Rania then expresses frustration that every Arab is asked on television to present their moral credentials, with questions like "Do you condemn Hamas?"

I've never seen a Western official say, "Palestinians have a right to defend themselves."

Not only wrong, but actively makes all Jews less safe by conflating us with a nation-state and its policies

[Mondoweiss @Mondoweiss]

An Israeli think tank with ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a report on October 17 promoting the "unique and rare opportunity" for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”

This is something to watch🚨

The War Powers Resolution specifically prohibits sending advisers to "command, coordinate, or participate in the movement of" foreign militaries engaged in hostilities, drawing from the U.S. experience in Vietnam that began with sending advisers.

Really fascinating moment at the end of this Hamas video of their release of two elderly Israeli hostages to the Red Cross where one of the women briefly leans back to shake the Hamas militant's hand before leaving and the fighter in turn says "Salam.

[Raphael Mimoun @RaphMim]

I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.

When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.

@thehoffather @UW I see you’re still up to your same bullshit, Ari! Saying anyone who supports Palestinian liberation is “calling for the genocide of Jews.” Get a life and a clue man!
