“Everything That We See Is a Shadow Cast by That Which We Do Not See.” -Martin Luther King, JR.
“Violence begets violence; hate begets hate; and toughness begets a greater toughness. It is all a descending spiral, and the end is destruction — for everybody. Along the way of life, someone must have enough sense and morality to cut off the chain of hate.” -Martin Luther King Jr.
Carlson-Putin Interview
https://tuckercarlson.com/the-vladimir-putin-interview You have to pay for this – it’s on the newly founded Tucker Carlson Network. I think it’s worth the subscription – I don’t see anyone else out there, interviewing the “hot potatoes” – Trump, Putin…when is Elon Musk up?!?! Level set: Tucker Carlson is a little “dumb” – even though he furrows his brows…
Repost: Bernie’s Op-Ed on Gaza, in the New York Times
I was reminded today of why I love Bernie Sanders: this op-ed is devoid of partisanship – really. The facts are stated, clearly, and succinctly. The blame is laid, and responsibility neatly assigned. Well done. Justice for Palestinians and Security for IsraelBy Bernie SandersNov. 22, 2023 There have been five wars in the last 15…
America NOT divided
I read this article recxently in WaPo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/06/america-political-divide-overstated-media/ The title is: “We’re not as divided as we think” I would retitle that: “We’re not as divided as we are made to think.” Or just, “We prefer not to think.” And if I do a Google search on “America not divided”, I get A LOT of…
Understanding Anti-semitism (really)
We have to walk on eggshells it seems, when it comes to any speech or text concering the Jewish people. And to a large extent, this is justified. After all, they have experienced a series of the most incredulous attacks on their race and religion – not just the Nazi holocaust: we forget the Russion…
Believe in Vaccines
Was canvassing for RFK Jr. on Sunday. Guy came to the door, friendly enough. Had a big BLM sign on the window, with extras, like “peace”, and “respect.” He smiled and was very receptive, when he saw my long hair and tattoos – that must mean that I am cool. But then he glanced down…
Meta calls all Palestinians “terrorists”, then apologizes.
Please refer to this WSJ article: https://www.wsj.com/tech/inside-meta-debate-over-whats-fair-in-suppressing-speech-in-the-palestinian-territories-6212aa58?page=1 Let’s start with the title “What’s fair in suppressing free speech…”. Um, how about not fucking with free speech at all, you heinous technocrats. To feel my rage, you need to read this article: in plain sight, no need for Federal investigations, Meta simply admits that it felt…
The Wall is Illegal; The Settlements are Illegal
Just the facts, please: Is the wall illegal: Israel began construction of the barrier during the Second Intifada in September 2000, along and exceeding beyond the 1949 Green Line. In its non-binding opinion, the Court found that the barrier violates international law and should be torn down https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_Consequences_of_the_Construction_of_a_Wall_in_the_Occupied_Palestinian_Territory In 2003, the United Nations General Assembly…
Gaza is not Israel
The Israel-Hamas conflict centers on the Gazan Strip and West Bank, areas captured by Israel during the Six-Day War and home to millions of Palestinians. Hamas, an Islamic resistance organization, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are significant militant groups in these territories. Other factions include religious and secular Zionists with contrasting beliefs and motivations. The…
Las discusiones en torno al conflicto palestino israelí están plagadas de falacias y sensibilidades. Es necesario desarmar las extorsiones argumentativas y pensar el fondo del conflicto.
Wanted to point to a great article, written by Ariel Feldman, for Jacobin Latino America. First, the translation: Discussions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are plagued with fallacies and sensitivities. It is necessary to dismantle the argumentative extortions and think about the substance of the conflict. Right? It’s so succinct, but does not start any discussion…
