You are not describing history.
You are describing the American bedtime story about history.
Let me remind you what actually happened on our soil, not in your textbooks.
North Vietnam did not "invade" South Vietnam.
Vietnam was one nation that foreign powers divided on paper and expected us to accept the way a prisoner accepts the shape of his cell.
There is no "North Vietnamese people" and "South Vietnamese people."
There is only one Vietnamese people separated by a imaginary line drawn by outsiders.
You talk about 1954 as if the partition was destiny.
It was not.
The Geneva Accords mandated free and fair elections in 1956, so the Vietnamese could reunify peacefully.
Eisenhower’s own intelligence admitted Hồ Chí Minh would win by 80 percent.
That is why the United States blocked the elections.
That is why your puppet regime was installed.
That is why the country was carved in two to prevent democracy, not defend it.
You call our president Hồ Chí Minh a "brutal scourge."
Your CIA called him "the George Washington of Vietnam."
The only thing dangerous about him was that he wanted a Vietnam not ruled by France, Japan, or America.
But let us talk about the Gulf of Tonkin, since you think "the rest is history."
There was no second attack.
There was no assault on the Turner Joy.
There was only American radar chasing ghosts in a storm, and a White House searching for the excuse it needed to unleash a war it had already decided to fight.
McNamara admitted it.
The NSA declassified the evidence.
Your own navy officers testified the incident never happened.
Yet from that lie came three million Vietnamese dead, eight million tons of bombs, Agent Orange burned into our soil and our DNA, entire provinces turned into moonscapes.
And you still recite this story as if the United States came to rescue us from ourselves.
Let me be very clear:
America did not enter Vietnam to "help" South Vietnam.
America entered Vietnam to prevent the independence of a country that refused to kneel to Western power.
The people who fought the United States were not foreign invaders.
They were farmers defending the same land their ancestors defended for over 2,000 years against the Han, the Tang, the Song, the Mongols, the Ming, the Qing, the French, and the Japanese.
We were not fighting for communism.
We were fighting for Vietnam.
And we won.
That is the part your version always forgets.
You lost a war you cannot psychologically accept losing, so you rewrite it as a morality play where America tried to save a "good" Vietnam from a "bad" one.
There was no good Vietnam and bad Vietnam.
There was only Vietnam
And the empire that tried to break it.
The rest is not history.
The rest is denial.
accepted the ceasefire, stopped bombing Gaza, waited for the rest of the Palestinians to return to Gaza to maximize their kill count, started bombing Gaza again... there are no words for how evil this country is

the people of Gaza has witnessed the most barbaric genøcide of the modern history.
She was arrested after she & the TEENS (not children) were singing “Death To Arabs” on a plane. They were asked to stop & didn’t. Someone responded with, “Free Palestine” & the woman spit on her.
Amazing how they only tell you what happened to them, but they don’t tell you why.
Let me tell you a story, Hanan.
I’m Vietnamese.
In 1954, the Western powers, fresh from centuries of colonial conquest, decided Vietnam should be cut in half.
Not because the Vietnamese asked for it.
Not because it was just.
But because it served imperial interests.
The North would go to us, the ones who had bled to defeat the French.
The South would be handed to a U.S.-backed regime we never chose.
They called it a "compromise."
They called it a "solution."
They said we should accept it, and there’ll be peace.
That half a country is better than none.
That resistance would only bring needless suffering.
But we refused.
Because Vietnam is not a bargaining chip.
We are not a parcel to be divided by strangers and called free.
And when we resisted, they called us unreasonable.
They called us terrorists.
They said we were the problem.
Sound familiar?
What you just said about Palestinians—that they should have accepted UN Resolution 181 and been grateful for half a homeland—is exactly what they told us.
And we proved them wrong.
We fought not because we hated peace.
We fought because real peace cannot come from foreign dictates, settler violence, and forced partitions.
We fought because no people should be told to accept half their dignity so someone else can sleep at night.
We fought because Vietnam is one.
Not north, not south, but whole.
And we won.
Now you expect Palestinians to do what we never would.
To accept their homeland divided.
Their history rewritten.
Their future stolen.
To say yes to a plan they never agreed to.
Written by people who did not live there.
Giving away land that was never theirs to offer.
You call that a missed opportunity.
We call it resistance to dismemberment.
Palestinians said no because they knew what we knew:
To accept a settler’s map is to erase your own.
So don’t talk to me about Resolution 181.
Talk to me about the villages wiped off the map.
Talk to me about the mass graves and refugee camps that followed.
Talk to me about the families still holding the keys to homes they are forbidden to return to.
Vietnam refused partition. And today we are whole.
Palestine did the same. And for that, they are still being punished.
But they were right to refuse.
Just like we were.
Just like the Algerians were.
Just like the South Africans were.
And one day, like us, they will reclaim everything that was stolen.
Because memory is stronger than force.
And the land never forgets who it belongs to.
While Western politicians and media condemned UK punk duo Bob Vylan’s performance at the Glastonbury music festival, Israel was intensifying its ground invasion of Gaza.
Four rice crackers (31 grams) per person is the equivalent of how much aid Israel allowed into Gaza today after 78 days of full starvation
This isn't aid, it's a PR stunt to buy time for genocide; to "annihilate everything that is left of Gaza" as Smotrich put it bluntly!
A new documentary on the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh reveals that Israeli soldiers use her photo for target practice. This exposes the Israeli mentality that journalists are "fair game", and that the killing of journalists in Gaza is no accident. https://t.co/CrkA2vPXzD
We have something the five of us would like to share with you all.
It has been almost four and a half years since we went on hiatus, and we sincerely regret we were unable to perform for all of you during that last year of activities due to the Coronavirus pandemic. So, in order to finally express our deep gratitude directly to all our fans, the five of us have gathered together once again and have begun planning a concert tour as ARASHI to be held next spring. With the establishment of Arashi Inc., there had been discussion around the possibility of assembling a new structure with new staff members to support our plans, but we have decided instead to bring this to life together with the many people who have helped and supported us over the past 20 years. And upon conclusion of this tour, we will end our activities as ARASHI.
For about a year and a half now, the five of us have regularly gotten together to discuss the idea of working as ARASHI again. However, it was not easy to find an answer to how to do this, as the environment surrounding us has changed, in addition to each of our individually changed circumstances compared to before. Such being the case, after much time and repeated conversations, we came to the conclusion that we should all come together as ARASHI, hold a concert that would allow us to express our thanks directly with the kind of in-person performance our Corona concert did not allow for, and then end our activities as a group. We could not imagine resuming our activities only to go on a hiatus yet again.
As for concert tickets, we will temporarily suspend new applications for fan club membership so that priority can be given to current fan club members. Also, as we are still in the preparation stage with many different people for next year's tour, we are not at present in a position to share specific details. However, as soon as such has been decided, we will inform our fans first, here and in our own words.
With the end of ARASHI’s activities, our family club will also close in May 2026, but we will continue to deliver as much content as possible throughout this next year for your fun and enjoyment, and will resume accepting new family club memberships as soon as possible so that even those who are not members already can enjoy the videos and more. Our next content distribution to the ARASHI Family Club is scheduled for the middle of next month.
Once again, we would like to thank all the fans who have continued to support us, and have come together as the five of us in order to bring you something very special. Please look forward to everything we have planned.
