Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

the most interesting part of the whole documentary to me is the way they all seem to respect somehow theroux when he's in front of them? it's quite obvious they see him subconsciously as a father figure most of them lacked and want his approval in some way? very telling
@UltrasPodcast@LdotNatalie Jealous of moving to a place run on migrant labour? These people complain about Muslims overrunning the uk and then move to a Muslim country? If it’s soooooo wonderful they need to stay put

Colonialism is insane. You murder, rape, pillage and take these people’s land and use it for your own pleasure and have the nerve to demonize them for existing in their own homes. Just pure evil
