I don’t think they give one fuck lol. The headline should be Isreal is hurting Biden’s PR. They are going in and looks like they are going in hard.
- He shut down because they're showing the truth.Netanyahu did not shut down Al Jazeera because they were broadcasting untruths...he doesn't want Israel's people to see the genocide being waged in their name.
Jim Crow, lynchings, beatings, castrations, church bombings. All of those were endured so that Black people in the U.S. could get a start at civil rights. Was it perfect? No, but it was a building block to what we have now.
I'd rather have a START than nothing. But since Arafat/Palestine couldn't get ALL of what they wanted off the rip (in a negotiation), they said "NO." Now, they have perpetual intifada and the horrors of war they are causing to be inflicted on their populace.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Exactly, people just see the statistic "Palestineans were offered 94% of their land" and probably think Israel just got some border settlements or something but in reality that deal was nowhere near a functional state, just some bantusans connected via checkpoints..
Seems like its actually going to happen now
This is amazing.
LOL @ anybody who thinks that the US still has the moral high ground on anything in the international community.
Ya bro, but dude students are *reportedly* being paid to protest so I guess that cancels things out, right?
Death is more important than living to Gazans. This needs to be known.
You often make statements like African Americans never fought back. ( they did and had every right to ) but somehow those that did aren't attached to your history . Not everyone " endured " and those that fought and rebelled and massacred were praised and were considered a hero for the resistance.
Nat Turner's Rebellion - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
African Americans have generally regarded Turner as a resistance hero for avenging the suffering of Africans and African Americans.[22] James H. Harris, who has written extensively about the history of the Black church, says that the revolt "marked the turning point in the black struggle for liberation." According to Harris, Turner believed that "only a cataclysmic act could convince the architects of a violent social order that violence begets violence."[64]
In an 1843 speech at the National Negro Convention, Henry Highland Garnet, a former slave and active abolitionist, described Nat Turner as "patriotic", saying that "future generations will remember him among the noble and brave."[65] In 1861, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a white Northern writer, praised Turner in a seminal article published in the Atlantic Monthly. He described Turner as a man "who knew no book but the Bible, and that by heart who devoted himself soul and body to the cause of his race."[66]
In 1988, Turner was included in the Black Americans of Achievement biography series for children, with the book Nat Turner: Slave Revolt Leader by Terry Bisson.[67] The book's introduction was written by Coretta Scott King.[67]
The rights of African Americans didn't just come about through. " enduring "

Problem with this analogy is, black people were slaves in America.
Palestinians aren't slaves in Israel, but have to endure terrible conditions and treatment even outside of outright warfare.
We should be at a stage where we recognise Palestinians are just as human as Israelis and deserve access to water and other basic rights.
Israel hasn't accepted that, so there is never going to be peace. Black people weren't going to be slaves in America forever, nor will Palestinians be Israel's subjugates forever.
It's that simple.
Other than that, I agree with you, Palestine need to start playing the game. Politics not war.
But dude, Jim crow lynchings, castrations and church bombings were bad. We can do better. That's the point. You're not claiming that unacceptable dehumanization and murders are merely a part of a people's natural progress of achieving the rights they have, are you?
Again, that's not what "rights" means. It doesn't mean, yes you can eventually get this after you suffer dehumanization and murder, that's an aspiration, not a right.
