I really just can’t understand how this is our reality…. AGAIN. There tens of millions of eligible candidates for presidency & the best we can find is two white men pushing 80 to run the supposed greatest country in the world??? I’m sorry, it’s pathetic
🚨UC Riverside has become the third university in the nation to divest student funds from Israel. UCR is the most diverse campus in the University of California system with a proud history of Palestine activism. So thrilled for them tonight.
The image of a cop pointing his gun at Aaron Bushnell as he burns to death is truly the most succinct encapsulation of the brutality he died protesting against. His agonized calls for Palestinian freedom should haunt every public official who’s enabled these atrocities.
Me: "Hey Siri, describe a win-win scenario."
Siri: "Sure.
An example of a win-win scenario would be the US ending all aid to Israel and withdrawing all troops from the Middle East.
This would save billions of dollars, which could be spent on America's domestic issues, (there's a lot), and would also improve relations between Middle Eastern countries and the US.
Middle Eastern countries like Syria, Yemen, Iraq etc, could focus on rebuilding themselves without worrying about western intervention, and Iran would be far less hostile towards the US because of this."
Me: "Well Siri, that seems great! So why doesn't the US do just that?"
Siri: Good question!
The vast majority of American politicians are bought and paid for by Israel.
Israeli lobbies like AIPAC, and other private billionaire Jewish donors, provide the financial means for politicians to be elected, and in return the politician protects Israel's interests first.
Congress is quite corrupt!"
Me: "So why do Americans perceive Iran as a threat?"
Siri: "Iran is a threat to Israel, not the US.
Iran only hates America for its actions in the Middle East, and its diehard support for Israel.
As soon as this ends, Iran's hatred for the US would decrease significantly.
The Israeli lobby have convinced Americans that Iran is an enemy of the west in hopes of triggering a full-scale war with Iran.
A war with Iran would hold no benefit to the US, but would greatly benefit Israel as it would mean one more threat to the existence of Israel would be wiped out.
This would be another example of American lives, and most likely the lives of other western nations, being discarded for the safety of Israel.
In conclusion, if America wants what's best for its national security and the interests of its people, it should:
- End all aid to Israel
- Withdraw its troops from the Middle East
- Reallocate that money to solve America's own domestic problems"
Me: "Wow Siri, thanks!
I now know that Israel has a chokehold on the US and the sooner that chokehold is removed, the better!"
If you need to be especially mad at one bad actor in terms of emissions, please turn your head at the United States military, who uses over 270,000 barrels of oil a day, while also you know, committing genocide.
