The only good thing about Trump - only thing! - is that he sometimes says what we all know to be true but don’t expect an American president to say, admit, out loud.
One killed journalist might be a tragic accident.
Two killed journalists are undeniable attempts to intimidate journalists and suppress freedom of press.
Over 260 dead journalists in 2.5 years is the works of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the history of the world.
Isn't it funny how paid trained "professionals" are allowed to be completely unhinged but innocent civilians are expected to be calm and follow orders of someone threatening to murder them for no reason?
imagine this happening to you. there is no one you can call. there's a soldier up ahead ready to arrest you if you dare defend yourself. the only reason you are even seeing this is because there's a leftist Jewish Israeli activist filming it from inside, where he's trying to protect the family by documenting what Israeli settlers do on a daily basis.
Imagine if a country announced it was introducing the death penalty, but only for Jews. Imagine the global outcry.
But apparently it's fine to introduce the death penalty only for Palestinians...
This is an absolutely INSANE thing to say out loud. We killed their leaders in the middle of negotiations because we didn’t like the way they negotiated?!?!
The nazification of Israel is complete. They’re about to mass murder ~10,000 Palestinian hostages, many of them children. Greater Israel is the 4th Reich.
58,000 Americans died in Vietnam.
Over 3,000,000 Vietnamese died.
And for fifty years, American culture has centered the grief of the 58,000 while treating the 3,000,000 as a backdrop.
As scenery. As context. As "the Vietnam War experience."
They built a wall in Washington with American names on it.
A beautiful wall. A solemn wall.
Good. Mourn your dead.
But understand what that wall does not say.
It does not say why they died.
It does not say what they were doing there.
It does not say what was done in their name to the people whose country it actually was.
It does not mention My Lai, where American soldiers massacred an entire village, old men, women, children, babies, and the officer who ordered it served three years of house arrest before being pardoned.
Three years. House arrest. Pardoned.
For five hundred people murdered in a ditch.
It does not mention the 2.7 million acres of Vietnamese forest doused in Agent Orange, a chemical weapon disguised as herbicide, that is still deforming Vietnamese children today.
Not in 1970. Not in 1985. Today.
Children born in 2020 with bodies twisted by a war their grandparents fought.
And the chemical companies that made it are still in business.
Still profitable.
Still un-prosecuted.
And yet they send us human rights reports.
They grade our democracy.
They warn us about our behavior.
The audacity is so enormous it becomes almost impressive.
Almost.
