@ParkerJLathrop@vanillaopinions Social media has only made me more liberal cause I have seen the 💩 that comes out of Trump’s mouth 😅 so I’m confused with what they are seeing. Or if they just blindly believe the 💩 he spews without doing any research or thinking at all.
If they do that, the better also make it illegal to bail out corporations!!! We the people need the help! Not these companies that pay their top people well over 5x what an average employee makes!
@lporiginalg That poor soul! Has she never had an O?! Does she think that’s only a guy thing?! Like ummmm…I don’t think any man she’s been with knows how to pleasure her if that’s her view! 😂
Whatever your position is, just take a moment to reflect on just how dark this is.
Just hours after the ICJ concluded that Israel was plausibly committing genocide and ordered it to dramatically step up humanitarian efforts, 7 Western countries sanctioned... not Israel but the Palestinians and the UN (!!!).
They cut funding for UNRWA, which is THE UN agency tasked with humanitarian assistance to Palestinians (and therefore their main lifeline).
Even if you were the world's worst cynic, you'd still have a hard time expecting such sheer level of cruelty and depravation. This is absolutely unfathomable.
They did so with the cheapest possible excuse, effectively using Israel's narrative that "UNWRA is Hamas" and allegations by Israel that some UNWRA staff were involved in the 7th Oct attack but 1) Israel has been making these accusations for months (so the timing of cutting funding right after the ICJ ruling is obviously not a coincidence) and 2) UNWRA has announced it's terminated the contracts of the staff members accused (12 people out of its 30,000 strong workforce) and launched an investigation, so it obviously doesn't condone this. Even if the allegations were to be proven correct, how can an organization of 30,000 staff be held collectively accountable for the individual actions of 0.04% of its workforce? Especially in the current context when its work is a life or death matter for millions of people.
To add to the cynicism here, UNWRA staff are actually a major victim of the war with at least 152 UNRWA staffers killed by Israel in Gaza to date. In a normal world, it is Israel that should be punished for killing so many members of a humanitarian organization. But nope, it's the humanitarian organization that's getting punished, alongside with the very vulnerable population it's committed to helping.
U.S. Jews are saying no to business as usual until we get a permanent ceasefire now and freedom for all Palestinians! Never again means never again for anyone.
We come from a Jewish tradition that has for millenia opposed empire, colonization, and nationalism, that values every human life, and is rooted in social justice.
That’s why we won’t rest until we get a permanent ceasefire now, until Palestine is free!
There is no military solution to this. We need to address the root causes: Israeli military occupation and apartheid, and our own government’s role in funding this oppression.
We are here, gathering across the country in massive, growing numbers, to say no more. Ceasefire now. Palestinian freedom now. We will not stop until Palestinians, and all people, are free.
This aid package makes it abundantly clear: when our communities ask for resources that actually contribute to our safety and stability, we’re told the money isn’t there. Yet when it comes to genocide, war, surveillance, incarceration, and deportation, the resources are limitless
HAPPENING NOW: Over 150 with @jvpseattle are shutting down University Bridge over Lake Washington to call for a permanent ceasefire and end to the Israeli government’s 75 years of oppression and dispossession of Palestinians.
JUST NOW: 150+ Jews and allies take the Jackson Street bridge in Atlanta. On the last day of Hanukkah, we are rising up to say: CEASEFIRE NOW, Palestinians should be free.
ATL is joining JVP protests across the country: On the 8th night of Hanukkah, 8 cities, 8 bridges.
The Israeli government is counting on us to be too tired and too weary to go on. But the people of Gaza refuse to give up, and so do we.
That's why this Hanukkah, we rekindle our own commitment to struggling for a ceasefire, to struggling for full Palestinian freedom.
@jvpatlanta and over 100 allies in solidarity with Palestinians are shutting down the Jackson Street Bridge!
Atlanta is the 7th city to join Jews across the country who are rising up to shut down 8 bridges for 8 nights of Hanukkah to demand a permanent ceasefire.
