If they had a lick of sense and an ounce of bravery they would go scorched earth in these final months. Lost the presidency and the senate? Just do it. But I don’t think they have it in them.

Shame there’s nothing she can do

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

Haaretz reported on this rape-torture concentration camp back in April, CNN in May, the NYT did an expose in June. It’s late October and they’re only just now pretending to look into it.

If the @KamalaHarris campaign is serious about defeating Trump, she should come out and commit to an arms embargo on Israel if elected, in accordance with U.S. law. She should do it regardless of polls.

What’s more important? Defeating Trump? Or funding a genocide?

The mass killer whose suicide CNN thinks might be upsetting to its readers, was on Israeli TV with his co-driver a few months ago bragging about destroying 5,000 Palestinian homes by themselves:

PragerU is a propaganda mill claiming

- slavery was a justified “compromise”
- slavery didn’t cause the Civil War
- there’s no link b/w oil & climate change
- Columbus is a hero, not an enslaver
- New Deal prolonged the Depression
- America was founded a Christian nation

Disclaimer:

VP Harris once again repeated the unfounded allegation that Hamas fighters and other Palestinians “brutally raped Israeli women on October 7”.

Human Rights Watch and the UN Commission of Inquiry both assessed in separate investigations that Hamas fighters were guilty of “sexual and gender based violence”, an umbrella term for various acts. Human Rights Watch specified evidence for two acts— forced nudity and posting images without consent.

However, both investigations were unable to confirm a single instance of rape committed by Hamas fighters on October 7, with Israeli authorities repeatedly “denying [rights groups] access to victims, witnesses, and crime sites,” and “obstructing investigations.”

Logan Act. Somebody, please.

In December medics found five premature babies dead and decomposing in a Gaza hospital after the Israeli military forced staff to evacuate.

Every few days I think about them and their parents. The world should have stopped spinning on its axis over such terrifying inhumanity.

FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

STOP SENDING THEM WEAPONS

This is literally the meaning of the word holocaust—“mass slaughter, especially by fire.” Arms Embargo, Divestment, Sanctions, The Hague— NOW!

Genocidal maniac Netanyahu is burning Palestinians alive, bombing hospitals, starving people, and killing aid workers.

When will our country stop funding this madness? When?

A baby girl was born at dawn today in the northern Gaza Strip and was injured due to the ongoing bombardment of civilian homes by Israeli occupation forces.

I think Harris should give a speech in Michigan where she breaks with the Biden administration on Israel.

[Sarah Rahal @SarahRahal_]

Genuinely surprised there’s no visible media at Hajj Kamel Jawad’s funeral in Dearborn. Jawad was a U.S. citizen, whose four children grew up in #Dearborn & are grads of UMich and Stanford. He was killed in an Israeli air strike this week visiting family in #Lebanon. He was 56

Difficult scenes from my hometown, Deir el-Balah. I’m usually very conservative about sharing content like this, as it exposes people in their most vulnerable and painful moments. But this serves as a reminder of Israel’s brutality and criminality, of what this regime is capable of, and what it’s allowed to commit with impunity—fully backed by governments and institutions in the West through money, arms, and propaganda. I share this to show you what has been enabled, so that this evidence is never erased or buried. Justice will be ours, sooner or later, without a doubt.
