moment is important for a number of reasons. First, if you suspend you
campaign, you can start it back up. Something Ron DeSantis reminds
himself daily as he waits to see Donald Trump convicted. So it's
teachable. Second it also shows the need for something more. Marianne
suspended her campaign. And then we ended up with Michigan's primary
this week which was noteworthy for a number of reasons including that
despite having suspended her campaign on February 7th, this week she
still got 3% of the vote. She beat the forgettable and unlikable Dean
Phillips who was still in the race. She didn't campaign, she did do
meet-and-greet, buy ad time, phone bank, media, you name it. And she
beat Dean Phillips giving it presumably his best shot.</div><div><br /></div><div>There
is a hunger for something more and there is a need to push the
Democratic Party presidential candidate -- whomever that may be -- to
fight for the American people. </div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, her campaign <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKaEeTz0qVk&t=2s">released a video</a> of her explaining why she was unsuspending. You can also read that at <a href="https://marianne2024.com/">her website</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p class="copy"><b>As of today, I am unsuspending my Presidential campaign.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>All of us have noticed America’s political dynamics are
moving in a disturbing direction. Donald Trump’s power is on the
incline, and President Biden’s is on the decline. More and more people
are saying the quiet part out loud: that despite the fact that the
President deserves credit for many of his accomplishments, he is clearly
a weak candidate to defeat Donald Trump in 2024.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>I, however, am not. My ability to arouse in Americans
the angels of our better nature is the most powerful antidote to Trump’s
dark and authoritarian vision.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>I suspended my campaign because we were losing the horse
race. But there is something much bigger than the horse race that’s at
stake here. In the words of Mohammed Ali, ‘When the mission is right,
the odds don’t matter.”</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>We cannot sit idly by while the D.C. political class
sleepwalks this country into disaster. Too many have followed the
directives of the status quo for too long, but we are awakening now. We
are ready to act, to take the wheel of history into our hands and turn
it in another direction.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>We need a President who stands for a new beginning in
America, and whether I can help do that as President or in some other
way, unsuspending the campaign is a necessary next step.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>We will win on the promise of restoring America’s middle
class and waging peace both domestically and internationally. From
#MedicareForAll to #CeasefireNow in exchange for the hostages, from
tuition free college and tech school to a guaranteed living wage, from
waging peace to repudiating America’s forever war machine, from
subsidized child care to ending America’s War on Drugs, our platform is
the winning one.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>I will respond to the cult-like personality of Donald
Trump with a light-filled vision of hope and possibility. We will become
once again a “government of the people, by the people, and for the
people” at a time when corporate interests have taken Washington
hostage.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>I hope you are as moved by this vision as I am. You have
supported the campaign before, and I hope you feel moved to support it
again.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>We must rise to the occasion like never before; so much
is riding on what we do now. Even if the most I can do is influence the
President, that in itself is a goal worth striving for. For those of us
who are deeply committed to Trump not returning to the White House,
it’s imperative that we do everything possible to help mount a winning
campaign in 2024.</b></p>
<p class="copy"><b>I hope you will help me do this. There is no time to
waste. Please give generously so we can restart the engines and race to
the top.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>They also released the video below that gets to why she is running and why you should care.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OzggH8WADpw?si=rjH82wMoJM6VSLJL" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Marianne
Williamson: I'm Marianne Williamson and when I was growing up, America
had a vibrant middle class. The average American worker had decent
benefits, could afford a home, could afford a car, could afford a yearly
vacation, could afford for one member of the couple to stay home if
they wished and could afford to send their kids to college. But over
the last fifty years, there's been a massive transfer of wealth to the
tune of 50 trillion dollars from the bottom 90% of Americans to the the
top 1% -- decimating America's middle class. We all owe President Biden
a debt of gratitude for defeating President Trump in 2020. But with
the things that they're going to be throwing at us in 2024? We need to
submit to the American people an agenda of fundamental economic
reform: universal healthcare, tuition-free colleges at state colleges
and universities, higher education including tech schools, paternity and
maternity leave, free child care and a guaranteed living wage. These
are things that are considered moderate positions in every other
advanced democracy . But in the United States, people have been trained
to expect too little. The American people have been played. What the
Democratic Party should do is to truly return to the principles of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- not just alleviate their suffering but
offer them genuine economic reform, not just help people survive in an
unjust system, the Democratic Party should end an unjust system.
Washington DC, with a few brave exceptions, is filled with two major
categories of leaders: Those who don't even care about all the suffering
that is going on out there and those who do not have the moral courage
to fix it. Let me in there, I will.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>That's a powerful message and she's speaking to us. </div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know a kind way to say this so let's not try to pretty it up: Who the hell is Junior speaking to?</div><div><br /></div><div>My
phone hasn't stopped ringing since the e-mail his campaign sent out
late yesterday afternoon "Let’s send a powerful message" (afternoon my
time -- PST). </div><div><br /></div><div>Marianne just spoke about the needs of the American people.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bobby Kennedy Junior can't do that. </div><div><br /></div><div>Junior yammered away for over 1600 words and the only time "you" were mentioned was to beg for money.</div><div><br /></div><div>What did he offer instead?</div><div><br /></div><div>More
attempts to climb on top of the shoulders of his father and the late
President John F. Kennedy. For variety, he threw two more men in the
mix -- Martin Luther King Jr. -- mentioned only in passing -- and
Malcolm X. The last one, that was the most offensive. </div><div><br /></div><div>Right
now, as you read this, you're in the world and you're trying to learn
and grow. Some people stop. Junior stopped growing long ago. Which is
why he offers the Whitest and most insulting take on Malcolm X you
could imagine. I can remember when, in the 80s, his take began to
become a dominant take. Articles and books appeared. It was a
different take than the spit-on-Malcolm take that was so popular among
many. But I don't know that it was a better take. At least when the
enemy spits on you, they realize you're a force -- even in death -- to
be reckoned with. The new Malcolm was more like a child who returned
from a journey and was petted on the head. That's 'history' in Junior's
warped mind.</div><div><br /></div><div>In fairness, it's history he was
'taught.' Lucy Hughes-Hallett wrote an excellent book entitled
CLEOPATRA: HISTORIES, DREAMS AND DISTORTIONS. The 1990 book is a must
read for critical thinkers and traces how history is flexible and how in
one time period one thing is emphasized and in another it's something
else. Same person: Cleopatra. But the history and the stories a
society tells itself change over time. </div><div><br /></div><div>Bobby's
become fixated on the last century and that's becoming ever more
clear. It's the 21st century and he can't cope with it. </div><div><br /></div><div>And
it's bad enough that Junior keeps trying to pretend he can speak for
his father (who does have eight other living children) and his uncle but
now he's trying to speak for MLK and Malcolm as well? </div><div><br /></div><div>"What's next?" a friend asked over the phone, "His donation plea where he channels the ghost of Kitty Genovese?" </div><div><br /></div><div>Exactly. </div><div><br /></div><div>He's useless as THE DAILY SHOW made clear this week. </div><div><br /></div><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/chuGDDdJLbk?si=p_fHSq7aQk3f1K0E" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><div><br /></div><div> Back to the real world, the Michigan primary was important this week.

Today, <span class="Link"><a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-02-15-2024-d3a25caf6b60fe560e1a31d4f8f6b45e">Wafaa Shurafa and Bassem Mroue (AP) explain</a>, " Israeli forces stormed the main hospital in southern Gaza on Thursday, hours after Israeli fire killed a patient and wounded six others inside the complex." <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4d7e2894-e854-46a8-9d63-e08e30046feb">Two journalists at THE FINANCIAL TIMES OF LONDON manage to type</a>, "</span>During Israel’s retaliatory air, land and sea offensive in Gaza, which has killed more than 28,000 people, according to Palestinian officials, Israeli forces have targeted numerous hospitals, accusing Hamas of using medical facilities for military purposes." If that's an attempt at context it's missing a phrase that would be "while denying they had attacked hospitals early in the assault." Because that is what happened.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Grasp that.</div><div><br /></div><div>An attack on a hospital is illegal. It is against all rules of engagement. And early on when the Israeli government was terrorizing Gaza and attacking hospitals, they denied it. And the gullible and whorish press would try to prop up the denial. But in a matter of weeks, the horrors have been so outrageous that the Israeli government doesn't even try to deny the assaults on hospitals anymore. And the world is just in shock. It's outrageous and people need to stand trial for it.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/middle-east/2024/0215/1432413-gaza-israel/">RTE notes</a>, "Attacks on medical facilities in Gaza have caused particular concern throughout the conflict, including Israeli raids on hospitals in other cities, shelling in the vicinity of hospitals and the targeting of ambulances." <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68304979">Per the BBC</a> " the Israeli military had demolished the southern wall of the hospital complex and entered that way." The Israeli government wants to destroy all of Gaza and that's obvious by what they've done. If you're not getting how far from humanity these actions are, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/15/middleeast/nasser-hospital-israeli-snipers-khan-younis-intl-hnk/index.html">Kareem Khadder, Lauren Izso and <span class="byline__name">Sana Noor Haq (</span>CNN) report</a>, "The news [of the assault] came after doctors and medical officials in southern Gaza said Israeli snipers had shot dead a number of people as they tried to flee the Nasser Medical Complex. An eyewitness to the shootings, who is a trauma surgeon at the hospital, said at least two people were killed by snipers on Tuesday, with more shot and injured." Multiple press reports are citing an unnamed trauma surgeon at the hospital who states one of the at least two killed was a 16-year-old boy. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/15/israel-hamas-war-news-gaza-palestine/">Adela Suliman and Claire Parker (WASHINGTON POST) add</a>, "Updates from the Gaza Health Ministry said Israeli troops were putting lives in danger by seeking the transfer of intensive care patients and by instructing employees to evacuate amid bombings. It said the emergency doctor was injured when a drone fired at the room in the surgery department on the third floor of the Nasser Medical Complex." <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/feb/15/middle-east-crisis-live-rafah-offensive-ceasefire-talks-israel-gaza-latest-news">THE GUARDIAN notes</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><p class="dcr-4cudl2"><b>Humanitarian chiefs stressed that states and especially <a data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/israel">Israel</a> could not “offload” responsibility for the horrors unfolding in Gaza onto aid workers.</b></p><p class="dcr-4cudl2"><b>The Red Cross chief Mirjana Spoljaric told a Geneva briefing for diplomats on events in <a data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/gaza">Gaza</a> that their countries were responsible for ensuring the Geneva Conventions are upheld.</b></p><p class="dcr-4cudl2"><b>“It is not in your interest to offload (that) responsibility... onto humanitarian actors,” she said.</b></p><div><b>“If the way operations are conducted today limit our operational space to a minimum... we will not be able to resolve the problem,” she added. </b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/2/15/israels-war-on-gaza-live-four-dead-as-israel-hits-city-in-lebanons-south">ALJAZEERA notes</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>In a front-page editorial in the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano headlined “Stop the Carnage”, editorial director Andrea Tornielli challenged Israeli leaders on the ongoing Gaza attack.</b></p><p><b>Tornielli quoted a Rome-based Holocaust survivor, Edith Bruck, who has been highly critical of the Israeli government’s war, which she blames for the rise in anti-Semitic acts against Jews around the world.</b></p><p><b>“No one can define what is happening in the Strip as ‘collateral damage’ from the fight against terrorism,” Tornielli wrote. “The right of defence, the right of Israel to ensure justice for those responsible for the October massacre, cannot justify this carnage.”</b></p></div><p><br /></p><p>RECOMMENDED: "<span class="post-count" dir="ltr"></span></p><ul class="posts"><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/us-rulers-ride-nato-wrecking-ball-from.html">US Rulers Ride the NATO Wrecking Ball from Ukraine...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/biden-pushes-house-to-approve-bill-with.html">Biden Pushes House to Approve Bill with $14B in Mi...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/media-struggles-to-ignore-israeli-war.html">Media Struggles To Ignore Israeli War Crimes In Gaza</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/panic-as-israeli-forces-storm-southern.html">Panic as Israeli forces storm southern Gaza’s main...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/hillary-clinton-confronted-with-her-war.html">Hillary Clinton confronted with her war crimes by ...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/doctor-narrates-bombing-of-nasser.html">Doctor Narrates Bombing of Nasser Hospital Just Be...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/palestinians-flee-as-israel-orders.html">Palestinians flee as Israel orders evacuation of b...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/journalist-reports-from-rafah-i-always.html">Journalist Reports from Rafah: “I Always Imagine M...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/conservative-bigots-double-down-on.html">Conservative Bigots Double Down On Losing Strategy</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/israeli-invasion-of-rafah-would-lead-to.html">Israeli Invasion of Rafah Would Lead to "Massive B...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/israels-industrial-scale-cruelty-in.html">Israel’s Industrial-Scale Cruelty in Gaza is Made ...</a></li></ul><div>"<a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/iraq-snapshot_01278335499.html">Iraq snapshot</a>"</div><ul class="posts"><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/trump-hated-erics-wife-until-she.html">Trump HATED Eric’s Wife UNTIL She Started Kissing ...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/parents-killed-in-front-of-their.html">Parents killed in front of their children by Israe...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/rod-stewart-with-jools-holland-pennies.html">Rod Stewart with Jools Holland - Pennies From Heav...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/breaking-news-and-analysis-on-day-131.html">Breaking news and analysis on day 131 of Gaza's Al...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/congresswoman-bush-statement-on-h-res.html">Congresswoman Bush Statement on H.

Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you don’t win:)…</b></p><p><b>I appreciate greatly all the incredible people who accompanied me on our political journey over the last ten months. While the level of our failure is obvious to all, a level of success is real nonetheless. We articulated deeper, more authentic truths than those regularly acknowledged by the political establishment. And I’m not only glad we did that; I’m proud of it. We spoke for those most ignored in America today and whose wounds are most in need of healing. I wish I could have reached them. I know we would have provided hope.</b></p></div><div><p><b>I will never be able to fully express my gratitude to those who supported the campaign - as donors, as volunteers, as team members, and more. I hope the blessings you have shown me will be reflected in your life many times over. There are memories of support and kindness that I will cherish going forward, carrying an emotional fragrance that will linger in my heart forever.</b></p><p><b>In the final analysis, I think the only real failure in life is that which we fail to learn from. I have learned so much already and I know that I will learn more. Processing this experience will be an ongoing journey and forgiveness will guide me as I move through it. I will not allow the mental torment of all the woulda shoulda couldas to tie me to the past, but rather I will keep my eye on the larger story. In ways I cannot yet see, none of this will have been in vain. There are hidden gifts that have only just begun to reveal themselves.</b></p><p><b>Among those gifts are seeds I know we dropped into the hearts of many - those who will in their own time, in their own way, carry our ideas forward. Although as of today we are suspending our campaign, our platform - with its deep dive into so many issues - will remain on Marianne2024.com. I hope future candidates will take what works for them, drinking from the well of information that we prepared. My team and I brought to the table some great ideas, and I will take pleasure when I see them live on in campaigns and candidates yet to be created.</b></p><p><b>I wish I could give a personal hug to every person who encouraged me on this journey. So many had faith and believed in what was possible. While we did not succeed at running a winning political campaign, I know in my heart we impacted the political ethers. As with every other aspect of my career over the last forty years, I know how ideas float through the air forming ever new designs. I will see and hear things in different situations and through different voices, and I will smile a small internal smile knowing in my heart where that came from.</b></p><p><b>I am wishing you all the love in the world, with a thanks more sincere than you can possibly imagine. May love yet prevail, in our hearts and in the world.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>The list of potentials gets smaller and the list of real potentials -- real meaning, this isn't a deluded vanity campaign, gets tiny. On the Republican side, it's coming down to Donald Trump (unless the courts do the right thing and bar him from running due to his violations of Article 3 and the 14th Amendment) and Nikki Haley. On the Democratic Party side, it's now Joe Biden. Joe visited NYC and, <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/jewish-protest-cease-fire">Brett Wilkins (COMMON DREAMS) reports</a>, it was a visit that got attention:</div><div><br /></div><div><p> Around 100 Jewish American and allied activists were arrested in New York City Wednesday after they blocked President Joe Biden's motorcade route to protest U.S. complicity in Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people and to demand an immediate Gaza cease-fire.</p><p>The group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) led the Upper East Side demonstration, during which activists sat down in the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street, where the president was attending a nearby fundraiser.<br /></p><p>"As Jewish New Yorkers we want to make crystal clear that President Biden is not welcome in our city while he continues to fund and arm the Israeli government's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza," said<strong></strong>JVP's Jay Saper. </p></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I know nothing about Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia but they have the nomination for the Party for Socialism and Liberation (Claudia for president, Karina for vice president) which, in the past, has run real candidates. The Green Party is in shambles and that's evidenced by the fact that Jill Stein trying to get the nomination. Jill Stein is AGAIN trying to get the nomination.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the complaints from those anticipating a Donald and Joe match up has been the age issue. </div><div><br /></div><div>Jill's no spring chicken. </div><div><br /></div><div>She turns 74 this May.</div><div><br /></div><div>She has no real accomplishments to speak of -- unless you consider her dropping her anti-vaccine stance when the press discovered it while she was running for office -- I believe that was in her failed Senate run and not during one of her disastrous attempts at the presidency. Jill fights for what she stands for . . . at least until she's expected to actually stand for it.</div><div><br /></div><div>And, yes, we said "attempts at the presidency."</div><div><br /></div><div>The Green Party is dead will be the announcement if, this summer, they announce Jill Stein as their candidate.</div><div><br /></div><div>She was their failed candidate in 2012 -- one who refused to question Barack Obama's sending US troops back into Iraq even though Tim Arango had reported this for THE NEW YORK TIMES just before the presidential debates started. Poor Jill, she had more important things than war or pointing out reality. She needed to get a new hair do and she needed more photos of herself and she needed waste everyone's time.</div><div><br /></div><div>She did that in 2016 again.</div><div><br /></div><div>She's a disaster and something of an idiot. It's gotten worse, her public speaking, so bad in fact that she might need to see a doctor. </div><div><br /></div><div>Does that sound like a party offering a real difference between the duopoly?</div><div><br /></div><div>No.</div><div><br /></div><div>A real difference would be the Green Party getting an actual candidate -- not an old nag or hag that they've run twice already and who is over 70s year old. 35. That's the youngest you can be. And yet do nothing Jill thinks her twice that age, failed ass needs to mislead the Green Party again.</div><div><br /></div><div>Joe Biden should have put himself out to pasture. No question. But Greens, if you run a 74 year old failure, you don't have any room to scold any other parties. She's failed twice. She's led to the party into great debt with those failures. She's done nothing but whine in the last years -- I only ate a dinner in Russia! -- and she's not an activist. Her 'activism' most recently was trying to force Cornel West down the throat of the Green Party. I don't think she realizes how hated that's made her.</div><div><br /></div><div>She and others at the top of the Green Party, tried to steal the nomination for him. And rank-and-file pushed back. Cornel for any other failures, was smart enough to see what was happening and cease his campaign for the Green Party nomination.</div><div><br /></div><div>That Cornel didn't grasp the process of the Green Party is not surprising. He announced his pursuit of the presidency by announcing he was the candidate for the People's Party and then a week later, he wasn't. Oops. Turns out you actually do need to do some work to run for president and that includes checking out the party whose nomination you've accepted -- in fact, better to do that checking before you accept their nomination.</div><div><br /></div><div>But Jill knew the process and she didn't just ignore it, she tried to break it and would have been able to if the rank-and-file hadn't pushed back so hard and said NO! They weren't dropping their process of how people had to campaign for the party's presidential nomination and they weren't changing their schedule (again, it will be decided this summer at the party's convention). </div><div><br /></div><div>Then there's the whole Peter Daou thing. This is not to trash Peter or even about Peter -- my remarks. This is about the fact that Jill's told one conflicting story after another about Petere. She's claimed this and she's claimed that. If she can't even get her story straight about her 'friendship' with a political strategist, she needs to bow out. Instead, she's using media attention to make it appear that she's the party's nominee.</div><div><br /></div><div>The party has no nominee and won't until the summer convention.</div><div><br /></div><div>If Jill is the nominee, we all need to wipe our hands clean of the Green Party and face reality that it is not trying to build the party and that it's just a bunch of egomaniacs at the top who need their egos stroked.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Did someone say Junior?</div><div><br /></div><div>Yeah, Little Junior remains to do nothing.</div><div><br /></div><div>He keeps pointing to his popularity polls. Among the uneducated and likely non-voters, he does have some sort of appeal still. He keeps pointing to his 'popularity' as his reason for running.</div><div><br /></div><div>Running?</div><div><br /></div><div>$306.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>That's the cost for his campaign basically. United Airlines can fly him from New Hampshire to Utah for $306. </div><div><br /></div><div>He's qualified for Utah's ballot and, since the end of last month he's claimed he's qualified for New Hampshire. </div><div><br /></div><div>In a dream world where he can win both states that would be what, ten electoral votes?</div><div><br /></div><div>Just 260 more and he can be president.</div><div><br /></div><div>Donald Trump says if he gets the nomination, he's not taking Junior on his ticket.</div><div><br /></div><div>Junior dropped out of the race of the Democratic Party nomination.</div><div><br /></div><div>He declared himself an independent making an independent run.</div><div><br /></div><div>But no one told him that required work and our socialite just does not like to work.</div><div><br /></div><div>So now he's flirting with the Libertarian Party as well as flirting with conducting fraud state by state. Since he clearly can't meet the requirements for ballot access in the majority of the states as an independent candidate, his admitted plan currently is to start 'political parties' so he can meet that threshold instead.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, it is fraud -- legal fraud -- to do what he's talking about. The qualifications do not say 'create a fake political party.' He can't meet the legal criteria to get on the ballot as the independent candidate ha has publicly announced himself so he wants to commit fraud state by state. If he does that, I hope he's prosecuted to the full extent of the law and he should be.</div></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RECOMMENDED: "<span class="post-count" dir="ltr"></span></p><ul class="posts"><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/zora-neale-hurston-claiming-space-full.html">Zora Neale Hurston: Claiming A Space | Full Docume...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/jordanian-doctor-who-visited-gaza.html">Jordanian doctor who visited Gaza recounts stories...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/global-resistance-rising-haiti-and.html">Global Resistance Rising: Haiti and Palestine's Fi...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/why-does-tracy-chapman-luke-combs-fast.html">Why Does Tracy Chapman & Luke Combs' 'Fast Car' Hi...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/cnn-makes-massive-changes-amid-abysmal.html">CNN Makes MASSIVE Changes Amid ABYSMAL Ratings | T...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/the-gym-matteo-lane-nick-smith-i-never.html">The Gym - Matteo Lane & Nick Smith / I Never Liked...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/io-capitano-oscar-nominated-film.html">"Io Capitano": Oscar-Nominated Film Dramatizes Per...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/inside-idf-psy-op-dehumanising.html">Inside The IDF Psy-Op Dehumanising Palestinians</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/fighting-back-against-gops-war-on.html">Fighting Back Against The GOP’s War On College | B...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/ex-unrwa-official-funding-cuts-make.html">Ex-UNRWA Official: Funding Cuts Make Donor Countri...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/blinken-family-faces-daily-protests.html">Blinken family faces daily protests, "blood dumps"...</a></li></ul><div>"<a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/iraq-snapshot_01167025158.html">Iraq snapshot</a>"</div><div><br /></div><ul class="posts"><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/father-of-palestinian-american-teen.html">Father of Palestinian-American teen killed by Isra...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/netanyahu-dismisses-ceasefire-proposal.html">Netanyahu dismisses a ceasefire proposal by Hamas ...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/schumers-right-wing-immigration-pivot.html">Schumer's Right-Wing Immigration Pivot Is A Total ...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/what-do-we-know-of-photo-of-stripped.html">What do we know of the photo of the stripped and i...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/marianne-williamson-much-to-be-grateful.html">Marianne Williamson: Much To Be Grateful For</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/militia-hit-by-us-airstrikes-in-iraq.html">Militia hit by U.S. airstrikes in Iraq claims no c...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/breaking-news-and-analysis-on-day-124.html">Breaking news and analysis on day 124 of Gaza's Al...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/revealed-why-israel-gets-politicians.html">REVEALED: Why Israel Gets Politicians' Uncritical ...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/breaking-major-israel-lie-exposed-kyle.html">BREAKING: MAJOR ISRAEL LIE EXPOSED | The Kyle Kuli...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/02/can-gaza-ceasefire-be-reached-ali.html">Can a Gaza ceasefire be reached?

Wednesday, January 24, 2024. Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson
flame out in New Hampshire, a man who murdered an Iraqi didn't face real
consequences and apparently became an insurrectionist as a result, the
assault on Gaza continues, the Pope issues a message of how war is not
answer, Anne Hathaway joins the work stoppage and much more.<div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Let's start with New Hampshire. On the GOP side, Donald Trump won. <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/live-results-new-hampshire-primaries-republican-democrat/">He
got 54.6% of the vote to Nikki Haley's 43.4% -- that's with 95% of the
vote counted while on the Democratic side Joe Biden won with 56.4% of
the vote</a>. I'm not interested in including Marianne Williamson's
segment on DEMOCRACY NOW! yesterday in this snapshot for two reasons.
She has not been consistent on Palestine and she was allowed to make
comments about how she has always . . . No. I'm not posting it here
because that's not true. There's also the issue of New Hampshire going
out of order. I remember 2008. I remember how it was Diane Rehm and
only Diane calling out the nonsense that said primaries in two states
did not matter because they went out of order. Barack lost those states
and his media campaign and his media outlets -- that did include
DEMOCRACY NOW! -- acted as though Florida and Michigan had created
mortal sins. Diane was right, of course those primaries would be
counted at the national convention. But by the media refusing to do so
in real time they gifted it to Barack. Which was the point. So a
'history' given on DEMOCRACY NOW! yesterday about states going out of
order that doesn't even mention 2008? I'm not interested.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm
glad that Marianne has a better stance now on the slaughter taking
place in Gaza and we've noted three or four videos of her in the last
three days. But I'm not including in the snapshot something that I know
is not true.</div><div><br /></div><div>Results? I didn't think Nikki
would get that large of a percentage against Donald. It would be
interesting to see what happened if she remained in the race until Super
Tuesday. On the Democratic side? Those voting for Joe had to write
him in. On the ballot were Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson who
both spent a great deal of time in New Hampshire. Dean got an anemic
20.1%. Time to go, Dean. Marianne got 4.1% which would indicate she
should drop out and attempt to run on The Green Party ticket (they'll
vote on their nominee at their convention this summer) because 4.1% --
if she could pull that off nationally -- would be greater than any Green
Party presidential nominee has ever gotten. (Ralph Nader's 2000 run
remains the largest percentage of voters with 2.74%). Dean Phillips
made no impression at all. What's sadder is that Marianne didn't.
Phillips is conservative Democrat. Marianne was an honest lefty. New
Hampshire rejected both.</div><div><br /></div><div>Staying with the US, <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/capitol-riot-suspect-iraq-manslaughter-b2482885.html">Graig Graziosi (INDEPENDENT) reported</a> yesterday:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>A <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/topic/louisiana">Louisiana</a> man who was arrested for allegedly attacking <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/topic/police-officers">police officers</a> during the January 6 <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/topic/capitol-riot">Capitol riot</a> was previously convicted of <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/topic/manslaughter">manslaughter</a> for killing a bound Iraqi civilian during <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iraq-war-bush-twentieth-anniversary-b2302031.html">Operation Iraqi Freedom</a>. </b></p><p><b>Edward

why we call it military 'justice' and not military justice. He should
have been imprisoned for life. He lied and the military let him get
away with lying. They wanted to let him get away. The only reason
there was some punishment for the gang-rape of Abeer and her murder and
the murder of three members of her family was probably because those War
Crimes resulted in a revenge attack being carried out on other US
soldiers. (Those US soldiers attacked were not part of the War Crimes,
to be clear.) If that had not happened, I truly question whether the
military would have punished those soldiers at all. And let's remember
that it was a civilian court that delivered the harshest punishment (to
Steven D. Green) and that the military court went much easier on the
other gang-rapists.</div><div><br /></div><div>Muhamad Husain Kadir.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's
the name of the man Richmond shot dead, in the back of the head, while
he was handcuffed. Muhamad Husain Kadir life mattered. The US
military's refusal to seek the appropriate punishment resulted in
Richmond returning to the US and trying to take down the government. He
should have been in prison.</div><div><br /></div><div>On Iraq, <a href="https://www.zawya.com/en/world/middle-east/iraq-no-frills-carrier-says-no-grounds-for-us-sanctions-jhodaxgd">AFP reports</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>Iraqi no-frills carrier Fly Baghdad has condemned Washington's
imposition of sanctions, saying the US Treasury provided no proof of its
allegation the airline had assisted Iran's Revolutionary Guards.</b></p>
<p><b>In a statement on Monday, the US slapped sanctions on Fly Baghdad and
its CEO, Basheer Abdulkadhim Alwan al-Shabbani, accusing them of
"providing assistance to the Quds Force", the foreign operations arm of
the Revolutionary Guards, "by delivering material and personnel
throughout the region" including weapons.</b></p>
<p><b>Responding in a statement late Monday, the airline said the
US decision was "based on misleading and unreal information that cannot
stand up to the law".</b></p>
<p><b>Fly Baghdad demanded that the US Treasury provide evidence that could "convict the company or its management".</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The
US government attacked the Iraqi military. I'm not interested in
quoting from garbage. Reports of the US attacking "Iraq militias linked
to Iran"? Garbage. For seven years now, those militias have been
legally part of the Iraqi military. That was signed into law over seven
years ago. I get it, I do. If I were X at a certain network I
wouldn't want to link them to the Iraqi military out of fear that some
people would link me to my former reporting partner who of course got
busted for kiddie porn and is no longer walking the streets. I get why
you wouldn't like links. I do. But the reality is this was an attack
on the Iraqi military. Iraq has been very clear that it is a violation
of their national sovereignty. When US outlets refuse to report
correctly, Americans have no idea what's really going on or why the
Iraqi people and the Iraqi government are outraged and feel
disrespected.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Gaza remains under assault. In fact, it's day 110 of the assault in the wave that began in October. <a href="https://dissidentvoice.org/2023/12/the-view-from-washington-let-the-killing-in-gaza-continue/">Binoy Kampmark (DISSIDENT VOICE) points out</a>, "Bloodletting as form; murder as fashion. The ongoing campaign in Gaza
by Israel’s Defence Forces continues without stalling and restriction.
But the burgeoning number of corpses is starting to become a challenge
for the propaganda outlets: How to justify it? Fortunately for Israel,
the United States, its unqualified defender, is happy to provide cover
for murder covered in the sheath of self-defence." <a href="https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-22-23/index.html">CNN has explained</a>, "The Gaza Strip is '<a href="https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-22-23/h_6b422f2abd54d7a1e3c9c9321c1dd103" target="_blank">the most dangerous place</a>' in the world to be a child, according to the executive director of the United Nations Children's Fund." <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/live-updates/israel-gaza-hamas/gaza-strip-is-the-most-dangerous-place-to-be-a-child-unicef-105520385?id=105348620">ABC NEWS quotes</a> UNICEF's December 9th statement, ""The Gaza Strip is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child.

The erosion is most pronounced among Democrats, a majority of whom

slaughter continues. It has displaced over 1 million people per the US
Congressional Research Service. <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/conditions-in-gaza">Jessica Corbett (COMMON DREAMS) points out</a>, "Academics and legal experts around the world, including Holocaust scholars, have <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-genocide-lawsuit" target="_blank">condemned</a>

Palestinians in Gaza is grows higher and higher. Friday, <a href="https://www.unwomen.org/en/digital-library/publications/2024/01/gender-alert-the-gendered-impact-of-the-crisis-in-gaza">United Nations Women noted</a>,

might think those doing the bidding of the Israeli government would
feel some shame. That doesn't appear to be an emotion rampant in the
Israeli military. I'd wonder if they were divorced from the world were
it not for the fact that they have their mobile devices and keep posting
on social media. </div><div><a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/1/24/why-are-israeli-soldiers-sharing-snuff-videos-from-their-genocide-in-gaza">Yara Hawari (ALJAZEERA) reports</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b> Since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza in October,
Israeli soldiers have been posting what can only be described as snuff
videos on social media platforms. In the videos, soldiers can be seen –
often gleefully – committing war crimes against Palestinians.</b></div>
<p class="p2"><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5JOiaNz9Ss" target="_blank">In one video</a>,
an Israeli soldier dressed in a dinosaur costume loads artillery shells
into a tank and dances as the shells are fired in the direction of
Gaza. In another video, a soldier is <a href="https://www.arabnews.com/node/2415171/middle-east">filmed</a>
dedicating an explosion to his two-year-old daughter for her birthday.
Seconds later, a Palestinian residential building behind him is blown
up. Other videos show Israeli soldiers <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/15/middleeast/israeli-soldiers-burningfood-gaza-intl/index.html" target="_blank">setting alight Palestinian food supplies</a> during a starvation campaign and mocking stripped, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/8/video-photos-appear-to-show-detainees-stripped-to-underwear-in-gaza">rounded-up and blindfolded</a> <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/8/video-photos-appear-to-show-detainees-stripped-to-underwear-in-gaza">Palestinian civilians</a>.</b></p><p class="p2"><b>There has been shock and outrage over the videos on social
media platforms by Palestinians and their allies with many noting that
the videos should be used as evidence in the case against the Israeli
regime for genocide before the International Court of Justice in The
Hague. Indeed, this latest aggression on Gaza has been one of the most
visually documented atrocities in history. And <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/gaza-most-clear-cut-case-genocide-ex-un-official-says">genocidal intent has never been so blatantly expressed</a> by both soldiers and political leaders.</b></p><p class="p2">
</p><p class="p3"><b>Even those who support the Israeli regime seem to be
shocked at the brazenness with which Israeli soldiers are sharing these
videos. British broadcaster <a href="https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1746576750941716812?s=20">Piers Morgan</a>,
for example, asked on X, formerly Twitter: “Why do Israeli soldiers
keep filming themselves doing this kind of crass, insensitive thing? Why
don’t their commanders stop them? Makes them look callous when so many
children in Gaza are being killed.” For Morgan, it seems, the problem is
not what the soldiers are doing but rather that they are filming
themselves doing it.</b></p><p class="p3"><b>People less informed on the context might find it strange that these
soldiers are implicating themselves in such horrific crimes without a
second thought. But those with deeper knowledge of the Zionist settler
colonial project in Palestine know that decades of impunity not only for
the Israeli regime but also for Israeli individuals guilty of war
crimes has led us to this point.</b></p><p class="p2"><br /></p><div><a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/01/24/ynxf-j24.html">Andre Damon (WSWS) notes</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b><em>The</em> <em>New York Times</em> reported Tuesday that Israel
intends to fully demolish all buildings in a 1,000-meter “buffer zone”
along Gaza’s border with Israel, citing Israeli officials. </b></p><p><b>The move, which is a war crime under international law, would significantly reduce the size of the Gaza Strip.</b></p><p><b>The
plan came to light after 24 Israeli soldiers were killed Monday as they
were laying explosives in a building in the area to be demolished. As
the soldiers were laying the explosives, they were attacked by Hamas
fighters, leading the explosives to go off during the firefight.</b></p><p><b>The <em>Times</em> reported that “Israel wants to demolish many of
the Palestinian buildings close to the border in order to create what
they describe as a ‘security zone,’ according to the three officials.”</b></p><p><b>The <em>Times</em>
also reported that “Two of the officials said that Israel’s goal was to
create a buffer of up to roughly six-tenths of a mile along the entire
length of Israel’s roughly 36-mile border with Gaza. At its narrowest
point, the territory is less than four miles wide.”</b></p><p><b>In a news
conference, Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said that
Israel was seeking to “create the security conditions for the return of
the residents of the south to their homes.”</b></p><p><b>The vast majority of
Gaza’s buildings have been damaged or destroyed since Israel launched
its assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 25,000 Gazans and left
over 7,000 missing.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>Let's note this segment on the arts and the power of the arts from <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2024/1/23/ai_weiwei_zodiac">yesterday's DEMOCRACY NOW!</a></div><div><br /></div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0F7MYZivFls?si=TSPHW1YQNQ4BUk8d" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: This is <em>Democracy Now!</em>, democracynow.org. I’m Amy Goodman, with Juan González.</b></p>
<p><b>We turn now to the acclaimed Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei.
In November, he had an exhibit in London canceled after he wrote a
social media post where he criticized the United States for its longtime
financial support of Israel. Ai Weiwei has previously expressed support
for Palestinians. He made a 2016 documentary, that includes Gaza in the
global refugee crisis, called <em>Human Flow</em>.</b></p>
<p><b>Ai Weiwei is one of the world’s most acclaimed artists. In 2011, he
was arrested at the Beijing airport, held for 81 days without charge.
He’s been living in exile since 2015. He’s joining us here in New York
City ahead of his event tonight at Town Hall that’s part of <span class="caps">PEN</span> America’s <span class="caps">PEN</span> Out Loud series, when he’ll discuss his new graphic memoir, <em>Zodiac</em>.</b></p>
<p><b>Ai Weiwei, welcome back to <em>Democracy Now!</em> Let’s start with that canceled London exhibit. What happened?</b></p>
<p><b>AI <span class="caps">WEIWEI</span>: Well, after I
post, you know, a single line on Twitter, I never noticed people really
become so sensitive or so crazy about my posts. Basically, post
described the situation about the Israelis’ relations with U.S., and
which is very, very — you know, it’s very subjective. It’s not from my
point of view, but it’s really general facts.</b></p>
<p><b>So, then, you know, the galleries— actually, not one gallery, but
galleries in Paris and in London — they got very worried. And I still
don’t know exactly the reason why they have to worry about an artist’s
single line, you know, but, rather, they said they want to avoid this
kind of argument, and they’re trying to protect my interest, so they
postponed my shows — not one, but altogether four shows.</b></p>
<p><b>So, I guess that proved what I’m saying on Twitter is correct,
because there is all over the world, you know, this strong censorship
about different voices towards these kind of conflicts, and the conflict
continues getting so massive and also seems it’s not going to stop. So,
by doing that, yes, many of my shows have been canceled, so…</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">JUAN</span> GONZÁLEZ: Were you
surprised by the reaction, given that you’ve been — not only are you one
of the most celebrated artists from China in the West, but also you’ve
been a vocal supporter of the Palestinians for years?</b></p>
<p><b>AI <span class="caps">WEIWEI</span>: I am surprised.
I think we are — should live in a more free society and which carry a
lot of different opinions and voice. But to have this kind of
devastating case in dealing with the art community, not only art
community, but also films or literature, I think it shows a really very
bad and a backwards in terms of freedom of expression, human rights and,
you know, all those issues.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
You know, there are not many Chinese artists as celebrated and embraced
by the West as you are, Ai Weiwei. Were you surprised by the swift
retaliation against your position, which is really critiquing the West,
in London, Britain and the U.S., when it comes to supporting the Israeli
government, when it comes to the assault on Gaza?</b></p>
<p><b>AI <span class="caps">WEIWEI</span>: I think maybe I
was celebrated for the wrong reason. But still, as the artist, I have
to fight for the human dignity and also basic human rights, freedom of
speech. And that’s why I’m here, so…</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: Can I ask about your graphic novel, Ai Weiwei? Talk about <em>Zodiac</em> and the message you’re conveying in this graphic memoir.</b></p>
<p><b>AI <span class="caps">WEIWEI</span>: Well, thanks
for asking that. I came to New York to be part of this graphic novel —
how do you say? — the promotion. And the novel take us about two, three
years, with two other persons involved. And so, we made the drawing and
the storyline, and, you know, it’s very — I think it’s pretty unique and
also charming in telling my personal stories in relating to Chinese
classic stories, but also in relating to current events both in China
and in the West. So, it’s very detailed and, you know, very visual
narratives about the stories.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Ai Weiwei, your message to the world right now? You are a dissident
when it comes to China. You cannot live inside China. You’re in exile.
And now, when you come and are embraced by the West, you find yourself
canceled again and again. Your thoughts?</b></p>
<p><b>AI <span class="caps">WEIWEI</span>: Well, I think
we are living in a very crucial time globally. We have to rethink about
our values or what we are really defending for. It’s not only a
challenge for individual artists, but also for the states. And we are
gradually losing the ground of democracy or personal freedom, or even we
are still facing crisis — economic crisis, immigration crisis. Also, we
are possibly at the edge of the World War <span class="caps">III</span>.
You know, this is not an exaggeration. It can happen. And I’m afraid
this is the facts. But that would calling for every individual to defend
the humanity and human rights.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
I want to thank you so much for being with us, Ai Weiwei,
world-renowned Chinese artist and activist, has a new graphic memoir
called <em>Zodiac</em>.

<p><b>Six students have sued Harvard University, accusing it of becoming “a
bastion of rampant anti-Jewish hatred and harassment” and tolerating
intensifying harassment of Jewish students since October 7th. This comes
as reports of antisemitism and Islamophobia have soared nationwide, but
there’s been a broader effort to restrict pro-Palestinian speech on
college and university campuses and to conflate antisemitism with
criticism of Israel’s occupation and demands for an immediate ceasefire
in Gaza.</b></p>
<p><b>The former Harvard President Claudine Gay was forced to resign
earlier this month, just weeks after the University of Pennsylvania
President Liz Magill stepped down in the wake of a congressional hearing
on antisemitism where they were grilled by lawmakers, including the
far-right New York Congressmember Elise Stefanik.</b></p>
<p><b>The lawsuit against Harvard was filed by two law firms, including the
New York-based Kasowitz Benson Torres, which filed similar lawsuits
against New York University and the University of Pennsylvania. The firm
also has ties to the Trump administration.</b></p>
<p><b>The lawsuit refers to student-led marches on Harvard’s campus in
support of Palestinian rights as “mobs of pro-Hamas students and
faculty” and singles out a screening at Harvard Divinity School in
September of the new documentary <em>Israelism</em>, which examines the
relationship between Jews in the United States and the state of Israel,
and the disillusionment as they begin to question Israel’s occupation of
Palestine.</b></p>
<p><b>In a minute, we’ll speak with one of the film’s directors and one of the main subjects. This is the film’s trailer.</b></p>

<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: That’s the trailer for the documentary <em>Israelism</em>.</b></p>
<p><b>For more, we’re joined in Toronto by Erin Axelman, co-director of <em>Israelism</em>.
The film is now on a 40-city screening tour in Canada and the United
States. Here in New York, we’re joined by Simone Zimmerman, Jewish
American activist, co-founder of IfNotNow, one of the main protagonists
of <em>Israelism</em>.</b></p>
<p><b>We welcome you both to <em>Democracy Now!</em> Erin, let’s begin with you. Why did you make this film?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">ERIN</span> <span class="caps">AXELMAN</span>:
Yeah, this film is really based off my story. It’s based off a story of
young American Jews learning a idealized and sanitized version of
Israeli history, and really falling in love with that history, but, upon
coming into contact with Palestinians and Palestinian narratives,
having quite the rude awakening upon learning about the horrific
oppression of the Palestinian people.</b></p>
<p><b>So, upon learning about the Nakba and the occupation as a young
person, I wanted to do all I could in whatever way, big or small, to
help change my own Jewish community, as well as to end the horrific
oppression of the Palestinian people. And I began trying to come into
contact with more and more people who had similar experiences,, and I
began to realize that my own story was part of a much larger
generational change, as hundreds of thousands of young American Jews
begin to realize that to live out our Jewish values to the best of our
ability, we must fight for the freedom and equality of Palestinians
while also fighting against antisemitism.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Talk about the organizations that you chronicle, that you sort of
depict in this film, those that are challenging the state of Israel and
those that are supporting it, that the other groups are taking on.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">ERIN</span> <span class="caps">AXELMAN</span>:
Definitely. We really — Simone is the main character and protagonist in
the film. And we really try to tell a generational story, and I’m
telling my own story through Simone, in many ways. We really chronicle a
variety of progressive Jewish groups, including IfNotNow, Jewish Voice
for Peace, J Street and many others.</b></p>
<p><b>And then we also, on the right, document a lot of pro-Israel groups.
We had Abe Foxman as one of the main characters in the film, the
director emeritus and former head of the Anti-Defamation League. We talk
extensively about Birthright and <span class="caps">AIPAC</span> and other groups that have tried to keep the status quo of unconditional support for Israel alive and well.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
So, let’s bring Simone Zimmerman into this conversation. Why don’t you
tell us about your upbringing, Simone? Talk about your allegiance to the
state of Israel, how it was instilled with you, and then talk about
your transformation.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">SIMONE</span> <span class="caps">ZIMMERMAN</span>:
Absolutely. I grew up in a Jewish community where, you know, the
Holocaust was a formative part of my upbringing, and I saw defending the
state of Israel as a core part of what it meant to keep the Jewish
people safe. It was a core Jewish commitment for me, so much so that
when I actually met anti-Zionist Jews, anti-Zionist Israelis, people who
were fighting occupation and apartheid when I was a college student at
UC Berkeley, I couldn’t even believe that those people existed. They
were an anomaly to me.</b></p>
<p><b>And the more I met those students and, more importantly, met
Palestinian students, learned about their lives, about, you know, what
it means, from the moment that you’re born, to live under a system that
deems you lesser, less worthy, that you have to live under occupation
and oppression and dispossession just because of who you are and where
you were born, I very quickly ran out of answers that felt moral and
logical to me to answer the hard questions that I was hearing from these
students about how I could justify the oppression that they lived
under.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Simone, I wanted to go to that moment at UC Berkeley — you’re a
graduate of the University of California, Berkeley — a clip from <em>Israelism</em>,
which features you in 2010 there, when the student Senate failed to
override a veto of a bill calling on campus officials to divest from
companies that supply weapons that Israel uses in the occupation of the
Palestinian territories.</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">SIMONE</span> <span class="caps">ZIMMERMAN</span>: I just knew it was this bad thing that I had to fight.</b></p>

<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">BILL</span> <span class="caps">OPPONENT</span> 1: It is antisemitism. It is.</b></p>

<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">BILL</span> <span class="caps">OPPONENT</span> 2: You are trying to make me feel marginalized on my own campus.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">SIMONE</span> <span class="caps">ZIMMERMAN</span>:
And I remember all of us going, “Well, you shouldn’t boycott Israel,
because it’s applying a double standard. And you shouldn’t boycott
Israel, because it’s unfair to single out Israel.”</b></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">BILL</span> <span class="caps">OPPONENT</span> 3:
Please, I beg of you. I beg you, please, to have compassion and to
remember that we are alienating students. And I am devastated by this
bill. I am a human being.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">SIMONE</span> <span class="caps">ZIMMERMAN</span>:
I still remember you have these Palestinian students who get up and
said, you know, “Jewish students, you are crying about feeling silenced
and marginalized. You know, my aunts and cousins didn’t sleep for weeks
while bombs were falling overhead in Gaza. What do you have to say to
that?”</b></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">BILL</span> <span class="caps">SUPPORTER</span>: If divestment is hostile, then where do we begin to describe the hostility of a military occupation?</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Simone Zimmerman, if you can talk about that moment at UC Berkeley,
what exactly was happening, and how you decided to explore further the
kind of questioning that actually also came out of your Jewish
education?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">SIMONE</span> <span class="caps">ZIMMERMAN</span>:
Absolutely. Well, you know, first, I want to say it’s striking to have
this conversation right now as the Israeli military has destroyed all
the universities in Gaza right now. And for me, I remember when I was in
that campus debate, the way that this narrative about Jewish students
being unsafe on campus is actually, I think, a deep conflation between
being unsafe and being uncomfortable. I was deeply uncomfortable. I did
not know about the realities that Palestinians lived under. I was
systematically denied an education about that reality. And to this day,
we see pro-Israel organizations working to do everything they can to
change the topic away from Palestinian suffering onto Jewish discomfort.</b></p>
<p><b>You know what? Occupation and apartheid are deeply uncomfortable. We
should all be uncomfortable and outraged by what’s happening in Gaza
right now. And again, as I already said, the more I listened to
Palestinian students testify about their realities, the more it was
undeniable to me that I was missing a huge part of the story, and I had
to go find out more.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: Erin Axelman, I wanted you to introduce us to Eitan, an American who decides not to go to college first, but to serve in the <span class="caps">IDF</span>. We’re about to play a clip of him.</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">EITAN</span>: From our hands and
threw him to the ground while he’s still blindfolded and hands tied
behind his back, and they started kicking him for a good few minutes. I
was responsible for this man’s well-being. I was responsible to bring
him from the checkpoint to the detention center. That was my job. And
right outside the fence of the detention center, they grabbed him from
me, and they started beating him. I felt responsible, but my commander
wasn’t saying anything, so how could I say anything? The entire time
that this was happening, a military police officer was standing just
inside the fence watching and smoking a cigarette. As soon as these guys
were done kicking this Palestinian man, the military police officer
tossed his cigarette, he came, brought him inside the detention center.
And I didn’t even speak up. I didn’t speak up. And that’s just one of
many stories that I have from my time in the West Bank.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: So, that was Eitan. It reminds me of our previous guest, Mosab Abu Toha, describing being beaten by the <span class="caps">IDF</span>. Well, he, Eitan, came to serve in Israel in the <span class="caps">IDF</span>. Tell us more about him and his transformation.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">ERIN</span> <span class="caps">AXELMAN</span>:
Yeah, many American Jews are told that to defend the Jewish people and
to be a good Jewish person, one of the best things you can do is to join
the Israeli military or support the Israeli military. In the film, we
extensively interview Hillel educators and an Israel fellow at the
University of Connecticut, and they openly brag about how many kids
they’ve gotten to serve in the Israeli military. And that is deeply
tragic.</b></p>
<p><b>And I have had friends, American Jewish friends, who have also
served. And they join as young people, as 18-year-olds, thinking that
they’re doing a great thing by defending the Jewish people. And then
many of them are sent to the occupied West Bank, and they quickly
realize that they are actually a cog in a system of apartheid, a system
that places you in a different legal system based upon the race you are
born into. And so many American Jews, and some Israelis, as well, when
they actually realize that this is what they’re doing — they’re not
defending the Jewish people; they’re actually defending a settlement
expansionist program in the West Bank, that is very literally a system
of apartheid — it is devastating, and it is heartbreaking.</b></p>
<p><b>Obviously, they’re not the greatest victims. The greatest victims, of
course, are the Palestinians who have to face that apartheid. But it’s
inspiring to see members of Breaking the Silence, both Israelis and
Americans, speak out and say, “We thought we were joining to do
something, and we found out that we were actually, again, a part of this
apartheid system,” and they are going to do everything they can to end
this system of occupation and apartheid. And so, we really wanted to
include someone like him, because it’s a common story, and it’s also the
story of many of my friends, who were — served in the Israeli military,
realized that they were part of a system of apartheid, and are now
doing all they can to end that system.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: And, Simone Zimmerman, you didn’t serve in the <span class="caps">IDF</span>,
but you did go to Israel and the Occupied Territories. You also, for a
moment — what was it? For two days? — became the outreach coordinator
for the Bernie Sanders campaign, before a campaign was waged against
you. Talk about your trajectory, going to the Occupied Territories,
coming back, founding IfNotNow.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">SIMONE</span> <span class="caps">ZIMMERMAN</span>:
Yeah, I went. You know, I had grown up spending time in Israel. I felt
deeply connected to the place. I thought I knew — I thought I knew
Israel. But the way that the apartheid system is actually built is such
that Israeli Jews don’t actually have to see the reality that
Palestinians live under. They can drive on roads. You know, they can
drive on the side of the wall where they don’t have to see what is on
the other side, the daily horrors and brutality and deep denial of
dignity and freedom that Palestinians live under.</b></p>
<p><b>And once I saw those realities with my own eyes, once I met people
who had been evicted from their homes, who were denied basic freedom of
movement, people just like me who want to live in freedom and safety,
whose every piece of their lives have been destroyed and constricted by a
system of Jewish supremacy, I couldn’t unsee those things. And again,
as Erin has already spoke about, this is a story that thousands of
Jewish people around the world have encountered. And we know that it’s
so deeply contrary to our values as Jewish people to support this
disgusting oppression and denial of freedom from another people. And
I’ve been part of this generation that includes IfNotNow and Jewish
Voice for Peace and many other groups that are taking on an outdated
establishment that wants to enforce a pro-Israel orthodoxy and will do
everything they can to attack and marginalize and silence anybody who
dissents from that viewpoint.</b></p>
<p><b>You mentioned at the beginning of this segment the lawsuit going on
at Harvard University. I can’t help but bring up right now the attacks
that we’ve seen over the weekend on Derek Penslar, the director of a
Jewish studies center at Harvard University, a world-renowned Jewish
studies scholar. And he has been attacked for being named to an
antisemitism task force at Harvard just because he criticizes the
Israeli government.</b></p>
<p><b>So we’re seeing how far this establishment is willing to go to attack
and marginalize anybody who doesn’t toe that very strict and narrow
orthodoxy, and increasingly anybody who doesn’t defend this government’s
genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip. And it’s absurd, but it’s also
deeply dangerous and offensive to those of us who are acting out of a
deep place of intellectual integrity, of Jewish values, of a commitment
to justice, who want to build a world of genuine safety and freedom and
dignity for Jewish people and for Palestinians. And that old guard is
more and more desperate to keep any of us out of public life and

Finally, Erin Axelman, you’re in Canada. Simone is here in New York.
You’re starting yet another tour of the film. As Simone mentioned, <em>Israelism</em>
is mentioned in the Harvard lawsuit, equating antisemitism with
anti-Zionism or criticism of the Israeli state. Your final thoughts as
the two of you travel both countries?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">ERIN</span> <span class="caps">AXELMAN</span>:
Totally. You know, it’s ironic. You know, there was four attempted
cancellations of screenings that we had in the fall. And at all of those
screenings, it was actually Jewish groups, Jewish student groups or
Jewish faculty, who were bringing this to the venue or university. So
it’s very ironic that under the guise of protecting Jewish students or
fighting antisemitism, administrations or venues are trying to cancel a
film brought by Jewish people, made by Jewish people, about Jewish
people. And it just shows how confused this moment is, and how all
criticism of Israel, even if it’s being made by Jews, is often
considered antisemitic, and which is totally absurd and really makes it
much more difficult to fight real antisemitism.</b></p>
<p><b>And as we’re about to do this screening tour, we’re sure there’s
going to be quite a few attempted cancellations. We just found out that
Barnard’s president is attempting to unilaterally cancel a screening of <em>Israelism</em>
in February. We’re working with the faculty, and we will make this
screening happen. And we will fight all attempts to cancel our
screenings. And we’ll also be part of the movement to fight back against
attempted censorship of any pro-Palestinian or progressive Jewish
voices.</b></p>

"The Palestinian Ministry of Education says that 4,551 students have
been killed and 8,193 wounded since the start of the Israeli aggression
on October 7 on the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank." <a href="https://inthesetimes.com/article/chicago-teachers-union-ceasefire-gaza-israel-palestine">At IN THESE TIMES, Dave Stieber explains</a> why his union (Chicago Teachers Union) supports a cease-fire:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p dir="ltr"><b>Fundamentally, educators are really only in this profession
because we care so deeply about young people and the promise they
hold — not in our communities, but across the globe.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Watching what is happening in Gaza has been soul-shattering too. Some <a href="https://inthesetimes.com/article/gaza-genocide-children-israel-palestine-mother"><span class="numbers">10</span>,<span class="numbers">000</span> children have been killed</a> since October <span class="numbers">7</span>;
many are now without parents; some have been held hostage. Every one of
them is someone’s child, someone’s loved one, someone’s student.</b></p></div><div><div class="max-w-article mx-auto px-4 smaller">
<p dir="ltr"><b>I’ve been told directly that<a href="https://x.com/D_Stieber/status/1724426953237684418?s=20" target="_blank"> teachers need to stick to teaching</a>,
that international matters aren’t something we should talk about, and
that educators don’t have any clue or right to comment on issues that
may seem so far away.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>But we know what it is like to lose students, to see young
people suffer. Whether that child is in Chicago, Israel, Palestine or
anywhere in the world, we don’t want anyone else to experience this
pain. My partner encouraged me to finally start therapy because I lost
so many students that I was no longer able to cope with seeing the empty
desks, the social media eulogies, the funerals.<br /></b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>That’s why, for the first time in the history of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), we approved <a href="https://www.ctulocal1.org/posts/social-emotional-supports-for-members-and-students-during-world-conflicts/" target="_blank">a resolution</a> on November <span class="numbers">1</span> to

also approved another resolution, to add our name to a <a href="https://secure.everyaction.com/w1qW7B3pek2rTtv9ny5bqw2" target="_blank">letter with other unions</a>

the indiscriminate killing of Palestinian Olympic coaches be enough for

Palestinian Olympic soccer team. Al-Masdar, known in Palestine as Abu
al-Abed, was a midfielder for the Al-Maghazi Club and then the Gaza

Association announced his death on Facebook <a href="https://www.palestinechronicle.com/palestine-olympic-football-team-coach-killed-by-israel-in-gaza-over-1000-athletes-killed-so-far/">with the following statement</a> posted by <em>The Palestine Chronicle</em>:</b></p>

from leaving in order to join their West Bank teammates to play
overseas. When these complaints have been raised, the Israeli response
is invariably that they are being held to a “higher standard” than other
countries also engaged in awful acts against civilians, and this higher
standard is rank antisemitism. But how could anyone short of a zealot

The Baloch Liberation Army—which has waged a decades-long cross-border insurgency in Pakistani Balochistan, the country’s poorest, sparsely-populated westernmost province—confirmed that its forces had come under attack.</b></p><p><b>Although Pakistan did not say so explicitly, Thursday’s strikes were in part retaliation for an attack Iran had mounted some 48 hours before inside Pakistan.</b></p><p><b>According to Iran, its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) used missile and drone strikes to hit camps of the Jaish al-Adl, a Balochi armed secessionist group that has carried out attacks in Iran’s predominantly Balochi south-east. Following that action, Tehran emphasized it did not want to disrupt “brotherly” relations with Pakistan. But in a message clearly intended for Washington and Israel, Iran said that it reserves the right to take all necessary measures to defend itself.</b></p><p><b>The tit-for tat attacks between Iran and Pakistan add further combustion in a region already set ablaze by US imperialism and its allies, which are using Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinians of Gaza to prepare and provoke a wider war with Iran.</b></p><p><b>On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the US carried out its fourth and fifth waves of missile strikes on Yemen in a week, hitting what it claimed were Iranian-backed Houthi positions in disparate areas across the country. Speaking to reporters earlier Thursday, US President Joe Biden had vowed the US-British campaign of air strikes against the Houthis would continue.</b></p><p><b>With the support of broad sections of the Yemeni people, Houthi fighters have disrupted Red Sea shipping to press for an end to Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.</b></p><p><b>Also on Wednesday, the Biden administration labeled the Houthis a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist group,” opening the door to the imposition of sweeping sanctions. Aid groups immediately responded with warnings that the designation threatens to greatly intensify Yemen’s humanitarian crisis. As a result of the almost decade-long war the Saudi regime has waged on Yemen with US arms and logistical support, more than half of the country’s population—over 18 million people—need food and other assistance.</b></p><p><b>The European Union, meanwhile, is in the advanced planning stage for its own naval operation in the Red Sea that would support the US/British attacks on Yemen, while asserting its own role as a regional policeman. The German government is leading the charge in launching the mission, which it will support by dispatching a frigate to the region in early February, according to a report in the <em>Welt am Sontag</em> newspaper. Underscoring German imperialism’s major military expansion into the Middle East, Berlin is readying a shipment of 10,000 artillery shells to back Israel’s genocide in Gaza.</b></p><p><b>Emboldened by the to-the-hilt support Israel is receiving from the North American and European imperialist powers, Israel’s fascist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu baldly reasserted his goal of a Greater Israel in perpetuity Thursday, saying his government would never agree to ceding sovereignty over any part of the West Bank. </b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, Netanyahu does not believe in peace or in a two-state solution or anything but expelling Palestinians from their own lands. <a class="yiv8763174415ydp863d3fdyiv9190275751" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/netanyahu-says-he-has-told-u-s-he-opposes-palestinian-state-in-any-postwar-scenario/ar-AA1nbV7i?cvid=ae0775f8828c417e916ab644d7d707c5&ei=4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AP reported yesterday</a>:</div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #2b2b2b;">Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday he has told the United States that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state as part of any postwar scenario, underscoring the deep divisions between the close allies three months into </span><a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-1-18-2024-e726603598f6b9d316643c446d7b85dd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Israel’s assault on Gaza</a><span style="color: #2b2b2b;"> aiming to eliminate its Hamas rulers.</span><br /></b></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div dir="ltr"><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The U.S. has called on Israel to scale back its offensive and said that the establishment of a Palestinian state should be part of the “day after.”</b></span></p><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>But in a nationally broadcast news conference, Netanyahu vowed to press ahead with the offensive until Israel realizes a “decisive victory over Hamas.” He also rejected the idea of Palestinian statehood.

At that time. Little provided by Congress' nonsense (so-called investigation) persuaded me to change my mind. One periodical that we highlight from time to time jumped the gun. They may have had a 'feeling' but the evidence was not there for the immediate call. We didn't highlight any articles from them in the first three months after January 6th that dealt with what happened for that reason.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">We have since had many of Trump's cohorts flip on him.

The poll was conducted Dec. 14-18 and included 1,024 respondents. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.</span><br /></b></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div dir="ltr"><div><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The poll indicates that 55 percent believe the riot was a stark assault on democratic principles, while 43 percent said “too much is being made” of the riot and that it is “time to move on.”</b></span></p><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The ramifications of the riot have permeated political discourse and action, as seen in the bold move by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D), who decided to remove former President Trump from the state’s ballot, citing the 14th Amendment. Bellows said she had concluded the former president “over several months and culminating on January 6, 2021, used a false narrative of election fraud to inflame his supporters and direct them to the Capitol to prevent certification of the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power.”</b></span></p></div><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">What he did was outrageous and illegal. And it was a direct threat to democracy. Yes, he is legally liable for trying to steal the election. If he wasn't, then nothing stops the next president who doesn't want to leave office from doing the same.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">I'm taking Shenna Bellows at her word. I believe her. If she's telling the truth, she did her duty.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">"Oh! It's going to hurt us!"</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">What?</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Since when are we too chicken to enforce the law.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">This is nothing minor. This is huge. A loser refuses to accept the outcome of an election, he plots to install a separate set of electors to vote in the electoral college, he stirs up his supporters with massive lies about his votes not being counted and the election being stolen, he encourages a crowd to come to DC to 'stop the steal,' he stirs them up with a speech and sends them off to Congress, a riot takes place.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">In what damn world is that acceptable?</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">It's not an it was an insurrection and is it is violation of the Constitution -- and not just the 14th Amendment. He violated Article II Section 1 as well as The Constitution's 12th Amendment (the sections on the electors which does not have the president lobbying for an alternate slate.) </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Again, some people rushed to conclusions based on the gut. They may have been right, they may have been wrong. We now know a lot more than we did in January of 2021. Donald Trump violated the Constitution in numerous ways. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">You break the law, you need to suffer the consequences. That's especially true when you committed a fraud upon the nation in an attempt to hold on to an office that you lost. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">He conspired to steal the presidency from the rightful winner, that's a serious crime. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">So all the ones wringing their hands now about what effect pulling him from a state's ballot might have? I'm more concerned with the laws that were broken and how ignoring them normalizes Donald Trump's actions for future losers who don't want to leave the White House. That is actually the more serious issue and the one that the government needs to address. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">I don't care about the hand wringers. I also don't care about the liars like Jonathan Turley who keep claiming some bad precedent is being set via accountability.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">No. When you break the law you should be punished. That's the rule of law. He can lie and distort all he wants but that is how it works and, again, failure to do so would actually set a precedent -- a very bad one. Jonathan's sick in the head and sick in the heart, don't let him deceive you.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">As for his and his supporters nonsense of 'double jeopardy' or the issue having been addressed in Congress. The House impeachment was seeking removal from office. That's it. He can face -- and should -- criminal charges and, no, this is not double jeopardy. And, please note, I thought both impeachments were nonsense. I stand by that. But that has nothing to do with facing charges in a criminal court. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Had Nixon not resigned and been impeached that would only have removed from office. Grasp that. Grasp that he resigned to avoid impeachment and he would have faced -- and should have faced -- criminal charges but Gerald Ford pardoned him. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Numerous GOP nominees currently say they will pardon him. That's another reason not to vote for them. That's another reason for me to vote for the Democratic Party nominee whomever it is. (I'm really hoping we'll have a March 31st LBJ repeat but I'm voting Democratic regardless. I've explained why. I'm not telling you how to vote, I'm telling you how I'm voting.)</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Donald Trump is not an anomaly and, believe it or not, when it comes to that crazed MAGA crowd, he's actually one of the milder ones. Consequences have to be delivered to send a message to the Marjorie Taylor Greenes and other insane crazies who have their own presidential aspirations. </div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RECOMMENDED: "<span class="post-count" dir="ltr"></span></p><ul class="posts"><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/01/uk-must-expel-israels-ambassador.html">UK Must EXPEL Israel's Ambassador</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/01/attacks-in-lebanon-iran-netanyahu-wants_0258789927.html">Attacks in Lebanon & Iran: Netanyahu Wants to Drag...</a></li><li><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2024/01/avatar-matteo-lane-nick-smith-i-never.html">Avatar -

War Criminal knows full well that every bomb he drops, every life he
takes only radicalizes the people in Gaza all the more. He's used
collective punishment from the start because he is a War Criminal. <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/christmas-sermon-gaza">Jake Johnson (COMMON DREAMS) reports</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b> </b></p><p><b>In an unsparing Christmas sermon delivered from the occupied West Bank
over the weekend, Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac decried the complicity of the
church and Western governments in Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza, a
nearly three-month military campaign that he called an "annihilation"
and a "genocide."
</b></p><p><b>
"Leaders of the so-called 'free' lined up one after the other to give
the green light for this genocide against a captive population. They
gave the cover," Isaac, a Palestinian Christian theologian, said during a
service titled, "Christ in the Rubble: A Liturgy of Lament."
</b></p><p><b>
"Not only did they make sure to pay the bill in advance, they veiled
the truth and context, providing political cover. And, yet another layer
has been added: the theological cover with the Western Church stepping
into the spotlight," Isaac added. "Here in Palestine, the Bible is
weaponized against us. Our very own sacred text... The theology of the
empire becomes a powerful tool to mask oppression under the cloak of
divine sanction."
</b></p><p><b>
With most of the territory's population struggling to survive under the intertwined threats of <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-starvation" target="_blank">starvation</a>, <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/disease-gaza" target="_blank">disease</a>, and <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-civilian-casualties-2666798899" target="_blank">near-constant bombing</a>, Isaac said that "Gaza today has become the moral compass of the world."
</b></p><p><b>
"If you are not appalled by what is happening, if you are not shaken to
your core, there is something wrong with your humanity," Isaac said
from Bethlehem, which Israeli forces <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/25/israel-intensifies-occupied-west-bank-raids-on-christmas-day" target="_blank">attacked</a>
on Monday. "And if we, as Christians, are not outraged by this
genocide, by the weaponizing of the Bible to justify it, there is
something wrong with our Christian witness, and we are compromising the
credibility of our Gospel message. If you fail to call this a genocide,
it is on you. It is a sin and a darkness you willingly embrace."</b> </p></div><div><br /></div><div>And now the Israeli government is targeting The Red Cross. <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/mena/palestine-israel/2023/12/26/israel-gaza-war-live/">THE NATIONAL notes</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><span style="color: #050505;"><b>Israeli shelling has hit the Palestinian Red Crescent's headquarters in Khan Younis, it said on Tuesday. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #050505;"><b>Israeli

Two examples, REUTERS serves up "White House in 'intensive' talks with Israel on next phase of Gaza war, aide says" and MIDDLE EAST MONITOR offers "Report: Israel sets end of January to end 'intense phase' of Gaza war." End of January? Gaza has over 83% of its population displaced. It's not even January. The residents are supposed to endure this brutal assault for at least six more weeks? That's outrageous. And so is the White House and its weak ass position. Their cheap talk -- "intensive" or not -- is worthless. People are dying. Children are dying. Butcher Biden is complicit in this assault. Butcher Biden's been pimping for this assault since the beginning. Yesterday, <a href="https://theintercept.com/2023/12/14/israel-biden-beheaded-babies-false/">Jeremy Scahill (INTERCEPT) noted</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b><span class="has-underline">On October 11</span>, four days after the Hamas-led attacks in Israel, President Joe Biden addressed a group of Jewish community leaders in the Indian Treaty Room of the Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. “I’ve been doing this a long time,” Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/10/11/remarks-by-president-biden-and-second-gentleman-douglas-emhoff-at-roundtable-with-jewish-community-leaders/">said</a>. “I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children.”</b></p><p><b>It was a jarring statement.

I was assaulted years ago as a child. So I really don't need to hear
from you sentences like, "Imagine if you were assaulted . . ." _____, I
was. I don't have to imagine. And what kind of sicko (a) wants me to relive that trauma? (B) "You have said over and over,
'Believe all women.''' One more time: You got the wrong one. I never
said that and I never would say that. Check the archives and you'll see
that I have long rejected that nonsense. I do not believe in that
blanket nonsense. Some men lie, some women lie. More to the point, I
am a thinking person and I would be an idiot to turn off my brain and
march along blindly. There are women who came forward with charges
against Donald Trump. I don't like Donald and never have. I believed
some of the women, I didn't believe them all. If you were serving on a
jury, you'd listen to the information and process it using your best
skills. That's not "believe all women." I've never argued that and I
never would. Some women I believe, some I don't. Some I can't
determine. (C) "It is your duty to call out these rapists." What
rapists? As with the women who allegedly were raped, we don't know
anything about who raped anyone. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">I hear your claims. I've heard them repeatedly in the media.

That is a lie. There is no proof to that. But it could have happened.
A sword swipe, a head comes off. Yeah, that can happen. But you're
telling me that in the hours an assault took place on October 7th, as
Israelis scrambled to get to safety and hopefully Israeli forces scrambled to fight the attack, Hamas took
time to rape. And to gang rape. Wow. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Doesn't
play. Doesn't mean it didn't happen. But it doesn't play. If you
pitched me that, I'd say that was a huge plot point error and that the
audience will never believe it. This was
an attack lasting hours not days. That the audience -- aware of all the
money that's gone into the Israeli military alone would never believe
that attackers would gang rape on site of the attack because they would
be in fear of being caught. They might drag someone away to rape them
after the attack but to stop everything and conduct a gang-rape? Again,
it doesn't play. Doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I look forward to speaking with each of these leaders and staying in close contact as we work to ensure this deal is carried through in its entirety. It is important that all aspects of this deal be fully implemented.</b></p><p><b>As President, I have no higher priority than ensuring the safety of Americans held hostage around the world. That’s why—from the earliest moments of Hamas’s brutal assault—my national security team and I have worked closely with regional partners to do everything possible to secure the release of our fellow citizens. We saw the first results of that effort in late October, when two Americans were reunited with their loved ones. Today’s deal should bring home additional American hostages, and I will not stop until they are all released. </b></p><p><b>Today’s deal is a testament to the tireless diplomacy and determination of many dedicated individuals across the United States Government to bring Americans home.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>And I'm sure he is grateful.

Among those who oppose Israel’s onslaught, there are still those who do not truly grasp it. It’s understandable that Israeli authorities are seeking to sow doubt about the size of the death toll, because the numbers expose the gravity of the crimes being committed. But we should not be deceived.</b></p><p class="dcr-rysp4a"><b>Take the argument that the health ministry is Hamas-run and, therefore, its figures can never be trusted. It sounds like a reasonable enough claim on the surface, until you realise that in previous conflicts the death toll reported by the ministry was largely consistent with the UN’s and even Israel’s counts. Last month, after doubts were raised by President Biden, the ministry even released the names, ages and identification numbers of the victims.</b></p></div><div><p class="dcr-rysp4a"><b>Indeed, the health ministry’s official estimate – currently 13,300 dead after six weeks – could well be an underestimate, <a data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/israel-hamas-war-gaza-strip-2023-11-08/card/state-department-warns-gaza-death-toll-could-be-higher-than-reported-RWmIIiwHT4DfsOaJrZji">as a senior US official has conceded</a>. The figures do not include the dead buried under rubble who have not been retrieved. According to the independent Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, which is chaired by US emeritus law professor and former UN special rapporteur on Palestine, Richard Falk, the civilian <a data-link-name="in body link" href="https://twitter.com/EuroMedHR/status/1726263907717992478">death toll</a> as of 20 November is 16,413, with nearly 34,000 injured. This would mean one in every 142 Palestinian civilians killed in a month and a half.</b></p><p class="dcr-rysp4a"><b>Given that this slaughter may not end soon, the current health ministry tally of 13,300 dead, when placed in the context of Gaza’s population of 2.2 million, tells us something about the sheer scale of what has happened. Comparisons with other conflicts are truly eye-opening here. The Bosnian war loomed over my own childhood as a case study of an unspeakable atrocity. About <a data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.icty.org/x/file/About/OTP/War_Demographics/en/bih_casualty_undercount_conf_paper_100201.pdf">40,000 civilians died in those killing fields</a> in the years between 1992 and 1995. That was over three years, not six weeks, and it was in a country whose <a data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.rferl.org/a/bosnian-census-drop/25158859.html">prewar population was about twice that of Gaza</a>.</b></p><p class="dcr-rysp4a"><b>But aren’t many of the deaths in Gaza not civilians, but Hamas militants, you might ask? The evidence suggests not. Research by the Iraq Body Count project, which diligently compiled violent civilian deaths after the 2003 invasion, <a data-link-name="in body link" href="https://twitter.com/iraqbodycount/status/1718779638053233107">concluded last month</a> about Gaza that “few of the victims can have been combatants”. Analysing the ministry of health data, they found only a “modest excess of adult males killed”, which could be explained by their greater exposure to risk in, for instance, rescue efforts. With an estimated 70% of the dead being women and children – and many of the slain men unlikely to have been combatants – their conclusion is difficult to rebut.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>The dead includes at least 102 United Nations workers.

The Beirut-based TV channel Al Mayadeen has just announced two of its journalists were killed today in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon. The network says correspondent Farah Omar and camera operator Rabih Al-Me’mari were deliberately targeted by an Israeli warplane after reporting on Israel’s latest bombardment of south Lebanon.</b></p><p><b>Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, Ayat Khaddura, a 27-year-old digital content and podcast presenter, has been reportedly killed along with her family in an Israeli airstrike.

Everyone started running madly in the streets. No one knows neither where they’re going to or coming from. We’re separated, of course. I and a few others remain at home, while the rest have evacuated, and we don’t know where they went. The situation is very scary. The situation is very terrifying. What is happening is very difficult. May God have mercy on us.</b></p></blockquote><p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: On Sunday, the head of the Gaza Press House was also killed by the Israeli military. Belal Jadallah was heading to southern Gaza when he was killed by an Israeli tank shell in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. Belal was known as the “Godfather” of Palestinian journalism. He helped train generations of reporters and welcomed foreign correspondents and sponsored them when covering the Gaza Strip.</b></p><p><b>The Committee to Protect Journalists Monday announced a grim milestone had been reached with at least 50 journalists and media workers killed since October 7th. Forty-five of the journalists have been Palestinian. There have been three Israeli journalists killed, and there have been at least three Lebanese journalists killed. <span class="caps">CPJ</span> reports 11 journalists have been injured, three are reported missing, and 18 have been arrested. According to <span class="caps">CPJ</span>, the past month and a half has been the deadliest period of journalists covering the conflict since the media group began tracking these deaths over 30 years ago.</b></p><p><b>We go now to Philadelphia, where we’re joined by Sherif Mansour, the Middle East and North Africa program coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists.</b></p><p><b>Sherif, welcome back to <em>Democracy Now!</em>, under horrific circumstances. The U.N. secretary-general says that the number of civilian deaths is “unparalleled and unprecedented.” Of course, journalists are civilians. As I woke up this morning, I got one text after another, first the young woman and her cameraman in southern Lebanon killed about an hour after she posted a video report. She’s standing in a field in southern Lebanon, and she’s talking about the Israeli military killing civilians. She and her cameraman are then hit and killed. And then, as I’m learning their names, another text comes in. This young reporter in northern Gaza is killed, even as she says in her report, “I fear I will die.” Can you talk about this latest news and then a man you have come to know, who worked with you on a <span class="caps">CPJ</span> report, the head of the Gaza journalists’ association, also killed in an airstrike?</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">SHERIF</span> <span class="caps">MANSOUR</span>: Thank you, Amy, for having me.</b></p><p><b>I remember being on your show a little bit more of a month ago and saying, for journalists in the region, this is a deadly time. And it was the deadliest week back then. It became the deadliest month and now the deadliest six weeks on our record. I was not exaggerating. I was not speculating.</b></p><p><b>The killing of Belal Jadallah, who helped us document this deadly pattern of journalists being killed by Israeli fire over 21 years — just in May, we made a profile of 20 journalists. The majority, 18, were Palestinians. And he, Jadallah, his center have helped identify them, their families, get us their pictures. And on Sunday, he became a victim of this same deadly pattern when he was killed in his car. Jadallah has also provided crucial safety equipment for journalists in order to do their job safely. And he opened the Press House for journalists to use the electricity and internet when there was no other place.</b></p><p><b>This deadly pattern has existed before. It’s getting more deadly per day. We are investigating the three more killing today, adding to 50 as of yesterday. We’ve never seen anything like this. It’s unprecedented. And for journalists in Gaza specifically, the exponential risk is possibly the most dangerous we have seen. Journalists were killed in the very early stages at the two entry and exit points from Gaza — in the south, the Rafah crossing; in the north, the Erez crossing. And since then, they were killed everywhere in between. They were killed in the south in Rafah City, in Khan Younis, where they were told it’s going to be safe. They were killed in the middle in the Gaza Strip. And they were killed in the north in Gaza City. They have no safe haven. They have no exit.</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">JUAN</span> GONZÁLEZ: Sherif, could you talk, as well, about the arrests of journalists in Gaza and the Occupied Territories? And also, your organization has criticized, as well, Israel for its censorship within Israel of the press in Israel. Could you talk about that, as well?</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">SHERIF</span> <span class="caps">MANSOUR</span>: Well, we have documented separately from the casualties list, which includes journalists going missing, injured, the escalation of arrests. As of yesterday, 18 Palestinian journalists from the West Bank were arrested. Many of them were put in administrative detention, in military prosecutions. In addition, dozens of cases of censorship, direct censorship, cyberattacks, physical assaults, obstruction from coverage within the West Bank and within Israel.</b></p><p><b>In Israel, an emergency legislation has now given the government for the first time the unprecedented power of shutting down international media organization, including acting on Al Mayadeen — which two journalists were killed today in Lebanon — banning them in Israel, and allowing the government also to jail even Israeli journalists for up to a year under suspicious and these accusations of harming national morale and harming national security.</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">JUAN</span> GONZÁLEZ: Also, here in the United States, we are getting much coverage on the commercial media of the war, of the Israeli war in Gaza, but it’s all of U.S. journalists that are basically based in Israel, and there are no U.S. journalists that I’ve seen that are actually in Gaza. And those who do go in only go in with the Israeli army and under the condition that Israel must review all of their videotape beforehand and approve it before it can go out. I’m wondering your sense of how the American people — what kind of story they’re getting as a result of these conditions?</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">SHERIF</span> <span class="caps">MANSOUR</span>: Well, these conditions put local Palestinian photojournalists and freelancers at the most risk. They are the ones on the frontlines. We have not — we have seen a dwindling number of international media and international journalists within Gaza over the years because of the risks involved. And right now the Palestinian journalists are bearing the brunt of this risk and this heavy toll.</b></p><p><b>Of course, these casualties, the censorship is also coupled with communication blackouts for, to date, since the start of the war, that makes this more often news blackout, not just communication blackout. And, of course, that denies journalists a voice. It also denies people in the region and worldwide of essential media coverage, lifesaving information for 2 million Palestinians who are struggling to find food, clean water and shelter right now, but millions and hundreds of millions all over the world who are following this heartbreaking conflict and try to understand it, including in the U.S.</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: So, as Juan said, Sherif, you have — the Israeli military says they cannot guarantee the lives of journalists that go into Gaza. In early November — I’m just thinking back to a few weeks ago — the Palestine News Agency reported that their journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed in an Israeli strike on his home in southern Gaza Strip along with 11 members of his family, including his wife, son and brother. His colleague, journalist Salman Al-Bashir, burst into tears during a live broadcast upon learning of Abu Hattab’s killing. As he spoke, Al-Bashir tore off his helmet and protective vest, labeled “press,” and threw them to the ground. And then there was a split screen, as he ripped off his gear, saying, “Why do we bother wearing this if we’re going to be killed anyway?” They showed the anchor back in the Palestine news studio as she wept as Al-Bashir tore off his helmet and protective vest. Your response to this situation and this whole issue of embedded journalism is the only way the U.S. media can get those reports inside Gaza, where their news reports are reviewed, and the Gazan journalists on the ground being killed one after another, dozens of Palestinian journalists killed?</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">SHERIF</span> <span class="caps">MANSOUR</span>: Well, the Israeli army cannot escape or evade their responsibility under international law not to use unwarranted lethal force against journalists and against media facilities. It would constitute a possible war crime to do so. We have raised directly with Israeli officials the need for them to reform the rules of engagement, to respect press insignia and to ensure there are safeguards, checks when civilians and journalists are around. We have called for Israeli allies, including the U.S. government, European allies, to raise directly these issues, and publicly, with their Israeli counterparts. And we have called for the U.N. Security Council to include safety of journalists on the agenda in any diplomatic discussion.</b></p><p><b>Of course, the Israeli government are obliged under international law to protect journalists as civilians, but it’s also journalists’ vital role in time of war providing accurate, timely, independent information that gives them these protections under international law. And we want to make sure that the Israeli army, as well, do not continue to push false narratives and smear campaigns to try and justify the killing of those journalists.</b></p><p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: Sherif Mansour, we want to thank you for being with us, Middle East and North Africa program coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists, speaking to us from Philadelphia.</b></p><p><b>Coming up, <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2023/11/21/gaza_mosab_abu_toha_kidnapping">the acclaimed Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha has been detained at an Israeli checkpoint in Gaza, his whereabouts now unknown</a>.

In a US federal court Joe Biden, Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin are named in one. <a href="https://ccrjustice.org/home/press-center/press-releases/palestinians-sue-biden-failure-prevent-genocide-seek-emergency">From the Center for Constitutional Rights</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><p></p><div><p><b>November 13, 2023, San Francisco – Today, Palestinians asked a federal court to enjoin President Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, and Secretary of Defense Austin from providing further arms, money, and diplomatic support to Israel on grounds that there is an unfolding genocide by the State of Israel against the civilian population of Gaza and the U.S. officials have a legal duty to prevent, and not further, this most serious of crimes. </b></p><p><b>Biden, Blinken, and Austin, as outlined in the complaint, are sued in their official capacity for failing to prevent an unfolding genocide where they have influence over the State of Israel to do so, and directly abetting its development with weapons, funds, and diplomatic cover, in breach of duties enshrined in the Genocide Convention and customary international law. The filing is accompanied by a declaration from the leading legal expert on genocide, William Schabas, who identifies features of the Israeli government’s statements, deadly military assault, and total siege as signs of genocide and affirms the United States’ breach of its legal duty to prevent genocide. A separate expert declaration by the genocide and Holocaust scholars Drs. John Cox, Victoria Sanford, and Barry Trachtenberg, explains how the genocidal intentions and actions of Israeli leadership resemble other genocides in recent history.</b></p><p><b>The complaint, which seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, cites the U.S. government’s unconditional support for Israel as it bombs the people of Gaza and deprives them of food, water, and other necessities. The complaint states that even the crimes committed by the military wing of Hamas on October 7th that killed an estimated 1,200 Israeli people, including many civilians, and kidnapped 240, cannot legally justify the forms of targeting an entire population and collective punishment meted out by the Israeli government, let alone genocide. Since October 8th, Israel has killed over 11,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip – mostly civilians, including more than 4,600 children – and displaced 1.5 million. Thousands of Palestinians remain missing, and Israel’s destruction of hospitals, schools, and most infrastructure in Gaza – as well as intentional deprivation of access to food, water, electricity, and medicine – has rendered life in Gaza impossible.</b></p><p><b>“To be honest, it’s difficult to revisit all the scenes of the past weeks. They open a door to hell when I recall them,” said Dr. Omar Al-Najjar, a 24-year-old intern physician at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis and a plaintiff in the case. “I’ve lost five relatives, treated too many children who are the sole survivors of their families, received the bodies of my fellow medical students and their families, and seen the hospital turn into a shelter for tens of thousands of people as we all run out of fuel, electricity, food, and water. The U.S. has to stop this genocide. Everyone in the world has to stop this.”</b></p><p><b>In addition to Dr. Al-Najjar, the other plaintiffs in the case are the Palestinian human rights organizations Defense for Children International–Palestine and Al-Haq; the individuals Ahmed Abu Artema, and Mohammed Ahmed Abu Rokbeh, who are in Gaza; and Mohammad Monadel Herzallah, Laila Elhaddad, Waeil Elbhassi, Basim Elkarra, and “A.N.”, who are U.S. citizens with family in Gaza. All have had multiple family members killed, subjected to the closure of Gaza, and displaced. </b></p><p><b>Filed on the plaintiffs’ behalf by the Center for Constitutional Rights with the law firm of Van Der Hout, LLP, the complaint provides extensive evidence that the acts of the Israeli government represent an unfolding genocide, which the Genocide Convention defines as acts committed “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group,” and which can be accomplished through killing, inflicting serious bodily or mental harm upon a targeted group, or by “inflicting upon the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.” The Israeli military has targeted civilian areas and infrastructure, including using chemical weapons, and deprived Palestinians of basic necessities for life, the complaint says, while dehumanizing Palestinians as “human animals” that are undeserving of human rights protections and vowing to “eliminate everything,” making clear the “emphasis is on damage and not accuracy.” Gaza had already been subject to five prior bombing campaigns and a nearly 17-year military closure and ongoing occupation that had made Gaza an open air prison.</b></p><p><b>“For the last five weeks, President Biden and Secretaries Blinken and Austin have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with an Israeli government that has made clear its intention to destroy the Palestinian population in Gaza. As neighborhood after neighborhood, hospital after hospital, and sheltering displaced Palestinians were bombed, while subject to a total siege and closure that denies 2.2 million people basic necessities for life, they have continued to provide both military and political support for Israel’s unfolding genocidal campaign while imposing no red lines,” said <a href="https://ccrjustice.org/home/who-we-are/staff/gallagher-katherine">Katherine Gallagher</a>, a senior attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights and one of the lawyers who brought the case. “The United States has a clear and binding obligation to prevent, not further, genocide. They have failed in meeting their legal and moral duty to use their considerable power to end this horror. They must do so.”</b></p><p><b>The United States has a duty under Article 1 of the Genocide Convention to prevent and punish acts of genocide, an obligation the U.S. Congress made law in 1988 when it ratified the Convention and passed the Genocide Convention Implementation Act (18 U.S.C. § 1091). The duty to prevent is heightened given the United States’ considerable influence on Israel. The Biden administration, plaintiffs say, is not merely failing to prevent Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, it is actively abetting it. From the start of the bombing, Biden has repeatedly reaffirmed, through word and deed, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4243691-biden-vows-us-support-for-israel-hamas-attacks/" target="_blank">“unwavering”</a> U.S. support. </b></p><p><b>Courts have identified the providing of weapons and other materials to the perpetrators of genocide as a form of complicity. To be culpable, the provider need not share the recipients’ genocidal intent.</b></p><p><b>William Schabas, the world’s leading legal expert on genocide, wrote in his declaration in the case, “I conclude that there is a serious risk of genocide committed against the Palestinian population of Gaza and that the United States of America is in breach of its obligation, under both the 1948 Genocide Convention to which it is a party as well as customary international law, to use its position of influence with the Government of Israel and to take the best measures within its power to prevent the crime taking place.”</b></p><p><b>“Palestinian children in Gaza are undoubtedly targets as repeated Israeli military offensives destroy their homes, schools, and neighborhoods, as Israeli forces use U.S.-made and funded weapons to kill them and their families with impunity,” said Khaled Quzmar, general director at Defense for Children International – Palestine. “While people protest in the streets, world leaders show, day after day, that they lack the temerity to end the catastrophic and unprecedented destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza. We need the American people to join us to force an end to this genocide.”</b></p><p><b>Local counsel Marc Van Der Hout of the law firm of Van Der Hout, LLP, said, “The United States must fulfill its obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law to prevent escalating atrocities in Gaza. The killings and kidnappings perpetrated by Hamas on Oct 7th, horrendous as they were, in no conceivable way justify the massacres now being perpetrated by the State of Israel with the unconditional support and acquiescence of the United States. The courts must now force the U.S. to comply with its obligations under the law.” </b></p><p><b>“We have lost so many people, but there are still many more who are living, and we owe it to them to do everything possible to stop this genocide,” said Mohammad Herzallah, one of the plaintiffs in the case who has family in Gaza. “I have done everything in my power: I have participated in protests, sit-ins, wrote letters to my representatives, civil disobedience. Now I am asking the courts to end this ongoing genocide.”</b></p><p><b>For more information and to read the complaint, visit the <a href="https://ccrjustice.org/home/what-we-do/our-cases/defense-children-international-palestine-v-biden">Center for Constitutional Rights case page here</a>.</b></p></div><p><br /></p><p>RECOMMENDED: "<a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/antony-loewenstein-israel-is-testing.html">Antony Loewenstein: Israel Is Testing New Weapons ...</a></p><ul class="posts"><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-zionist-project-would-collapse.html">The Zionist project would collapse without US support</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/biden-official-struggles-to-say-israel.html">Biden Official Struggles To Say Israel Is Followin...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/politicians-still-refuse-to-call-for.html">Politicians STILL Refuse to Call for Ceasefire Eve...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/ny-times-writers-jazmine-hughes-jamie.html">NY Times Writers Jazmine Hughes & Jamie Keiles Res...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-remix-morning-show-talking-sade.html">The Remix Morning Show - talking Sade, health and ...</a></li></ul><div>"<a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/iraq-snapshot_02031309459.html">Iraq snapshot</a>"</div><ul class="posts"><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/marlon-wayans-talks-transgender-son.html">Marlon Wayans Talks Transgender Son, Williams On L...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/scotus-code-of-ethics-100-black-texas.html">SCOTUS Code of Ethics, 100 Black Texas Soldiers Ex...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/furious-protesters-demand-gaza.html">FURIOUS Protesters Demand Gaza Ceasefire To Biden ...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/leslie-jones-did-cartwheel-during.html">Leslie Jones Did A Cartwheel During Intense 'SNL' ...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/uaw-reflects-on-their-inspiring-wave-of.html">UAW Reflects On Their Inspiring Wave Of Labor Vict...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/will-palestine-hurt-bidens-re-election.html">Will Palestine Hurt Biden’s Re-Election Hopes?</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/norah-jones-rufus-wainwright-down-in.html">Norah Jones, Rufus Wainwright - Down in the Willow...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/un-official-who-resigned-in-disgust.html">UN Official Who Resigned in Disgust: Gaza is ‘Text...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/breaking-news-and-analysis-on-day-38-of.html">Breaking news and analysis on day 38 of Gaza's Al-...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/devastating-realities-of-gazas-growing.html">Devastating Realities Of Gaza’s Growing Casualties</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/project-2025-is-officially-underway.html">Project 2025 is Officially Underway: “Army” of 54,...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/watch-state-department-holds-briefing.html">WATCH: State Department holds briefing as Israel’s...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/free-speech-under-attack-pro.html">Free Speech Under Attack: Pro-Palestinian Voices A...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/beacon-of-light-fellow-doctors-recall.html">"Beacon of Light": Fellow Doctors Recall Dr. Hamma...</a></li><li><a href="https://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/11/a-republican-lawmaker-said-what-have-we.html">A Republican Lawmaker Said What?

Israel and the United States are continuing to reject calls for a
ceasefire in Gaza as the death toll from Israel’s bombardment tops
10,500, including over 4,000 Palestinian children. Tens of thousands of
Palestinians in northern Gaza have evacuated their homes on foot as
Israeli troops attempt to forcibly seize control of the area. The U.N.
estimates 1.5 million Palestinians have been displaced in Gaza — that’s
70% of Gaza’s population. Many Palestinians fear Israel will never allow
them to return to their homes.</b></p>
<p><b>On Wednesday, the top human rights official at the United Nations,
Volker Türk, traveled to the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing,
where he accused both Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes.</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">VOLKER</span> TÜRK: The Rafah
crossing has been the symbolic lifeline for the last month for the 2.3
million in Gaza. The lifeline has been unjustly, outrageously thin.
These are the gates to a living nightmare, a nightmare where people have
been suffocating under persistent bombardment, mourning their families,
struggling for water, for food, for electricity and fuel. … On the
other side of this gate is Gaza, already described as the world’s
biggest open-air prison before 7 October, under a 56-year occupation and
a 16-year blockade by Israel.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b>The atrocities perpetrated by Palestinian armed groups on the 7th of
October were heinous. They were war crimes, as is the continued holding
of hostages. The collective punishment by Israel of Palestinian
civilians is also a war crime, as is unlawful forcible evacuation of
civilians.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
In Gaza City, Israeli airstrikes have hit areas near Al-Shifa Hospital,
Gaza’s largest hospital. Meanwhile, most operations at al-Quds Hospital
have been halted due to dwindling fuel supplies and daily Israeli
attacks on areas around the hospital. Most roads to the hospital have
been destroyed. The hospital is run by Palestine Red Crescent Society,
which is part of the International Red Cross.</b></p>
<p><b>We go now to Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, where we’re joined
by Nebal Farsakh, a spokesperson for the Palestine Red Crescent Society.</b></p>
<p><b>Thanks so much for being with us. If you could start off by talking
about the state of the hospitals in Gaza right now? And what hospitals
are you being told that you must have evacuated? And what is the
response of the Palestinian Red Crescent, Nebal?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NEBAL</span> <span class="caps">FARSAKH</span>: Good morning. Thanks for having me.</b></p>
<p><b>The situation now in hospitals is dire. Almost 18 hospitals out of 35
in Gaza Strip have been — have gone out of service, either due to
bombardment or because extreme shortage of — they are running out of
fuel and medical supplies. The rest of the hospitals are operating under
extreme difficult situations. They are having extreme shortages of
medical supplies and medicine, as well as almost running out of fuel.</b></p>
<p><b>For example, al-Quds Hospital, yesterday we had to reduce all
services and operations in al-Quds Hospital to the extent that the major
and main generator in the hospital has been turned off, and now we are
only using the small generator. The hospital’s surgical ward has been
shut down, as well. The hospital’s oxygen generator also has been shut
down, and now we are using oxygen cylinders. According to the
information, we are only now for 24 hours, and we will be completely
shutting down, because we will be running out of fuel. Basically, up to
this moment, none of the aid has been allowed to get into al-Quds
Hospital.</b></p>
<p><b>This is the fourth day, and al-Quds Hospital has been under intense
bombardments, along of all roads that lead to al-Quds Hospital are
closed. Because of the bombardment, the roads are closed. Our emergency
medical services team, they are also inside the hospital, so they are
unable to go out of the hospital to arrive the wounded people in the
area. They can see from where they are inside the hospital that there
are many wounded people very close to the hospital, but, unfortunately,
they feel helpless. Because of the intense bombardment, it’s so much
dangerous. So they even can’t go out to arrive those wounded people and
save their lives. And the area where the hospital is located now became
so much dangerous. As highlighted, all roads are closed, so nobody can
get into al-Quds Hospital.</b></p>
<p><b>Unfortunately, none of the aid has been allowed to get into al-Quds
Hospital. Two days ago, we were waiting for aid to come in through <span class="caps">ICRC</span>. However, the <span class="caps">ICRC</span> convoy was targeted by Israeli occupation forces. And unfortunately, they were unable to deliver the aid to al-Quds Hospital.</b></p>
<p><b>So, now the situation, not only the problem is the fuel; we are
barely having food or water for our staff and our patients and for over
14,000 civilians who are currently sheltering inside the hospital.
Because of the continuous bombardments, all the windows have been falled
down — I mean, the glass. So they are literally open. And at nighttime,
it became so much cold, even for families who are lying and sleeping on
the ground. You can’t imagine the picture of children who are feeling
so much cold and don’t even have a blanket to warm them up. So now we
are in urgent need for everything, for blankets, for food and water.
Those children, they even have a very minimum amount of food. As I
mentioned, we barely have even food for the staff or for the patients.
This is the third day all Gaza City and the north is out of bread,
because all bakeries have already run out of fuel. So none of Gazans who
are now currently in Gaza and the north are able to get any piece of
bread.</b></p>
<p><b>There’s still in Gaza and the north almost 500,000 civilians who are
still now sheltering in schools and hospitals in those area where Israel
forced its people to evacuate. It’s not easy to say just “evacuate,”
because intense bombardments are just taking place all over, and it’s
not safe to evacuate yourself, taking into consideration that, as you
highlighted, many people have to do that on foot under intense
bombardment. There is no transportation. There is complete destruction
of the road and infrastructure. And simply an <span class="caps">ICRC</span>
convoy was targeted while it was on its way from the south to the
north. So, how it would be safe for civilians to evacuate themselves to
the south?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>:
And, Nebal, so if you could respond to the fact that Israel has said,
either evacuate from al-Quds Hospital, or the Palestinian Red Crescent
is responsible for any deaths? And then, also, you know, you’ve said
that oxygen generators have now been shut off, you’re relying on oxygen
cylinders, that fuel is running out. I mean, what do you — how will this
go, if you don’t have access to fuel? What do you fear will happen to
these patients who are dependent on oxygen, not to mention all of the
other medical supplies that are dwindling, if not have entirely run out?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NEBAL</span> <span class="caps">FARSAKH</span>:
Yes. We have announced repeatedly that we have around 500 patients
inside the hospital. Many of them are connected to life support
machines. They are in the intensive care unit. We have babies in
incubators. We don’t have the means to evacuate them safely. Evacuating
them means killing them. Taking into consideration that already intense
bombardments are taking place, so there will be no even any way to
evacuate the staff, along with 14,000 civilians who are currently taking
shelter because, simply, they have nowhere, no way to go to.</b></p>
<p><b>Hospitals, healthcare personnel, healthcare facilities should be
protected under international humanitarian law. There will be no
justification for Israel targeting al-Quds Hospital, although — even the
<span class="caps">WHO</span> has announced that evacuation orders
against hospitals are impossible to implement. They constitute a death
penalty for patients. Doctors, nurses, healthcare workers should not put
in an option to choose either to lose your life or risk your life or
even turn back — turn your back to your patients and just go away. This
is not acceptable.</b></p>
<p><b>And this situation, to be under intense bombardment, under constant
fear and panic of losing your life, it’s also unacceptable. As I said,
for over at least a week, now two weeks almost, intense bombardments are
taking place in a very close area of the hospital, to the extent that
most of the buildings in the surrounding area of the hospital has been
damaged. Airstrikes are taking place even 15 meters away from the
hospital. It has resulted to at least 16 people were injured during
these bombardments, to the extent that a patient in the intensive care
unit was also injured. This should not be acceptable.</b></p>
<p><b>I can’t describe the situation now inside the hospital, when I’m
talking about 14,000 civilians — most of them are children and women
— just sleeping on the hospital’s ground. Every single corner in the
hospital, there is internally displaced people, who have no other
option. This is the last choice for them. It’s just seeking shelter to a
place they thought they will be in a safe place. Unfortunately, this is
not the case, because Israel, it looks like it’s absolutely over and
above the international humanitarian law.</b></p>
<p><b>Unfortunately, as a humanitarian organization, we have completely run
out of all of solutions. Over three weeks now we have been calling on
the international community to intervene immediately to allow the entry
of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and including fuel. We have warned
repeatedly, “We are running out of fuel.” We have already run out of
fuel a week ago. So, we managed to get some fuel from some gas stations
who had some left over. Unfortunately, because of the continuous
blockade on Gaza, particularly, and the north, it’s now an impossible
mission to find one liter of gas, one liter of fuel in Gaza and the
north. We have come to an end. We have already reduced all of our
operations, all of our services, in order just to manage to take care of
those patients who are now inside the hospital. And although we have
taken all of these measures, we are only for 24 hours. At that point,
the hospital’s small generator will shut down, and then the lives of
those who are connected to life support machines, they will lose their
life. And we even — we even can’t imagine the situation we will be in.
As a humanitarian organization, we feel helpless. We feel helpless.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:

al-Quds Hospital, your organization, the Palestinian Red Crescent, is
responsible for any deaths?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NEBAL</span> <span class="caps">FARSAKH</span>:
As I said, international humanitarian law is clear: Hospitals,
healthcare worker, healthcare facilities, civilians should not be a
target. If an attack or whatsoever happened for al-Quds Hospital, this
will be a responsibility of Israel, the responsibility of the
international community, who are, up to this moment, fail to stand up
for humanity, fail to pressure Israel to ensure the protection of
civilians, healthcare personnel and healthcare facilities. Up to this
moment, four colleagues were killed during conducting their humanitarian
role, trying to save other people’s life. Twenty-two other paramedics
were injured. At least eight ambulances completely went out of service
due to Israeli bombardment and targeted for ambulances. This also should
be stopped. Under all circumstances, in all conflicts, healthcare
workers, healthcare personnel, healthcare facilities and hospitals,
along with civilians, they should be protected. Unfortunately, 70% of
the victims, of thousands of people who were killed in Gaza, are
children, women and elderly people. This war crime should be stopped.</b></p>

And, Nebal, I mean, if you could talk specifically about the situation
of children, over 4,000 killed, countless others thought to be under the
rubble? But apart from that, there’s a new acronym that’s been in use
in Gaza hospitals: <span class="caps">WCNSF</span>, wounded child, no
surviving family. If you could say something about that, Nebal, whether
you’re witnessing that, how much you’re witnessing it in hospitals
there, al-Quds included?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NEBAL</span> <span class="caps">FARSAKH</span>:
Unfortunately, because of the intensive bombardments that is taking
place on people’s residential buildings, houses, without even any prior
warning, that has resulted to wiping out whole families. And
unfortunately, many children who are survivors now, they don’t even have
any family member.</b></p>
<p><b>We have saved a 12-years-old girl. She was under the rubble for
almost 30 hours. Unfortunately, she has lost all of her family. And now
she is currently sheltering inside the hospital. Our psychosocial
support team try as much as they can to support her, but no words can
describe the traumatized situation that this 13-years-old girl, along
with other children in Gaza, are living because of this intense
bombardment.</b></p>
<p><b>Even those who didn’t lose anyone, simply being under intense
bombardments day and night, and hearing strong bombardments with
complete darkness because of the cut of electricity, is just so much
horrifying and panic among those children who are living unprecedented
situations that no child in this world, we wish, is be living.</b></p>

spokesman John Kirby stated again that the United States has no “red
lines” on the number of civilian casualties it will accept.</b></p><p><b>Biden’s
remarks sparked worldwide outrage, with clips of his statement viewed
or shared by millions of people on all social media platforms. He was
met in Chicago by thousands of people demonstrating against US support
for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The crowd chanted, “Genocide Joe” and
“Biden, Biden, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.”</b></p></div></div></div></div><div><p><b>While Biden was speaking in Illinois, he was interrupted by a
protester who yelled, “10,000 Palestinians have been killed. Half of
them are children.” </b></p><p><b>Before Biden left for Chicago, he was asked
whether Israel’s “retaliatory airstrikes” were working, he replied,
“Yes,” adding, “they’re hitting the targets they’re seeking.”</b></p></div><div>So targeting hospitals is working? Good to know. Good to know how low Joe is willing to go.

Israel’s war costs. A rough sense of the overall importance of US aid to
the Israeli war effort can be developed by comparing the $14 billion in
military aid proposed by the Biden administration with an estimate by
the Israeli financial newspaper <em>Calcalist</em>, first <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/war-with-hamas-cost-israel-above-50-bln-newspaper-2023-11-05/">reported by Reuters</a>. <em>Calcalist</em> estimates that the conflict in Gaza will cost Tel Aviv roughly $50 billion if it goes on for eight to 12 months. </b></p>
<p><b>If the <em>Calcalist</em> estimate is on the mark, that would mean
that if the $14 billion in proposed US aid is approved and disbursed
over the next year, it would account for just over one-quarter of the
total cost of the war to Israel. About half of the estimate—$25
billion—represents direct military costs, with the additional costs
related to negative economic impacts of the war, compensation for
businesses, and reconstruction. If US aid is compared only to the
estimate of direct military costs of the war, it would amount to more
than half of relevant expenditures. No estimate made in the midst of an
ongoing conflict will be entirely accurate, but what we do know suggests
that US tax dollars are a major factor in sustaining the Israeli war
effort.</b></p>
<p><b>The role of US-supplied weapons may be even more important than the
question of how much of the costs of the war would be paid for with
American tax dollars. The United States has been Israel’s principal arms
supplier since the nation’s inception—supplying military aid to the
tune of <a href="https://sgp.fas.org/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf">$124 billion</a> over that time period before adjusting for inflation. Washington is currently in the <a href="https://sgp.fas.org/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf">fifth year</a>
of a 10-year $38 billion military aid commitment to Tel Aviv, or $3.8
billion per year. This annual figure will be dwarfed by the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/20/politics/us-israel-ukraine-aid-package/index.html">$14 billion</a>
in military aid contained in the administration’s pending emergency aid
request. The types of weaponry in the package include large quantities
of <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/04/us/politics/israel-gaza-deaths-bombs.html?partner=slack&smid=sl-share">bombs</a> and <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/10/19/us-israel-artillery-shells-ukraine-weapons-gaza">tens of thousands</a> of 155mm artillery shells that can be put straight to use in the Gaza war.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>Joe makes all Americans complicit in these War Crimes. <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/11/10/ilog-n10.html">Gabriel Black (WSWS) notes</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>On November 2, Will Lehman, the Mack Trucks worker who ran as the

As we continue to look at Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, we’re joined in
Houston, Texas, by Fady Joudah. He’s an award-winning Palestinian
American writer and poet, as well as a physician. He has translated
several collections of poetry from Arabic into English, including work
by the renowned Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. Dozens of his family
members have been killed in Gaza since October 7th. His recent <a href="https://lithub.com/a-palestinian-meditation-in-a-time-of-annihilation/">piece</a> for <em>LitHub</em> is titled “A Palestinian Meditation in a Time of Annihilation.”</b></p>
<p><b>Fady Joudah, welcome to <em>Democracy Now!</em> First of all, of
course, our condolences on the loss of your family members. If you could
say a little bit about those family members and how you and your family
here in the U.S. are keeping in touch with people who remain in Gaza?</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">FADY</span> <span class="caps">JOUDAH</span>: Thank you.</b></p>
<p><b>We have had more than 50 or 60 people in our extended family killed
by Israeli airstrikes. Some of them are in-laws of one of my cousins,
and others are different families. Others were also killed by the dozens
in one strike. One particular story is of a woman I knew since when I
was a child in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And her brother’s grandkids were
killed because Israel bombed the house next to them, and in the bombing,
one of the walls — one of the walls of their house fell off on them.
And they were sleeping, and it killed the three grandchildren and the
parents. And only the grandfather survives. So this is also a different
spectrum of what we hear about the children being the only survivors in
entire families. There are also stories of elderly people who have
survived 1948, the Nakba, and/or 1967, and they’re the only ones who are
surviving or who have survived their families.</b></p>
<p><b>We try to keep in touch with some family members through social media
or WhatsApp or what have you, but you know there’s no guarantee that
there is regular access or regular communication. You can send a message
and maybe get a response the next day. In the beginning of the war, we
could get a few phone calls in. But the stuff now is just very difficult
to access many people.</b></p>
<p><b>The situation is unspeakable and will remain unspeakable, I think,
for generations and decades, has been a culmination of the Palestinian
experience for a hundred years, since the British Mandate and the
beginning of settler colonialism with Zionist immigration into
Palestine. It is really beyond words to describe what it means to be a
Palestinian in this moment, the accumulation of multigenerational trauma
and memories that activates in each one of us previous memories we’ve
tried overcome with hope and a flair for life and for freedom, only to
find that there is always some horrific episode that reminds us that we
are on this Earth in this time, liable to be massacred and lied about.
It is —</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Speaking of which, Fady — we’re speaking to Fady Joudah, who is an
award-winning Palestinian American writer and poet and physician. As you
speak to us from Houston, we’ve spoken to so many Palestinians in Gaza,
in the West Bank, as well, but you are here in the United States. And
the United States is so important when it comes to how Israel deals with
Palestine, because of the amount of aid, to the tune of billions of
dollars a year, and is now asking for much more. Can you talk about how
the media here covers this issue?</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">FADY</span> <span class="caps">JOUDAH</span>: Well, it’s how the media doesn’t cover it. I think that I’ve written in the <a href="https://lithub.com/a-palestinian-meditation-in-a-time-of-annihilation/">piece</a>
there — and I’ve written in other pieces before — there is a collective
psychosis in the mainstream language of U.S. media and administration,
that is bizarre to the point of ghosting Palestinians, permitting their
erasure, year after year, decade after decade.</b></p>
<p><b>When we say, for example, Israel has a right to defend itself, we’re
also saying that Palestinian lives are not equal to any other lives that
we deem superior to them. And I think that we have not repeatedly asked
the question in American media and culture: Do you believe that
Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives and to Jewish lives? There
are many, Jewish people among them, who believe the answer is yes. But
there are many more who haven’t even entertained the question honestly.
And I think the importance of the question is to go beyond the moral lip
service reflex of saying, “Of course, yes,” because to say “yes” means
that you have to believe in the equal humanity of Palestinians as a
political condition for freedom. When we hear about all the stuff from
Blinken or Biden, it is really a language that says, “We believe that
the Palestinians have rights when we decide that they have equal rights.
We will put it on the back burner.” Always on the back burner.</b></p>
<p><b>And what I say is that we have reached a point where the murder and
the destruction of Palestinian lives has reached a point of every time
it reaches, it goes up higher, escalates in what is permissible about
destroying Palestinian lives. We are not just talking about the numbers
of the dead. We are talking about 2 million people who are living a life
worse than death, and they have to overcome that and the trauma, that
is unspeakable. And I do not expect the U.S. media and mainstream media
or politics to even care about this. The ghosting continues.</b></p>
<p><b>Yesterday in <em>The Washington Post</em>, they published a racist
cartoon, in — which they took down because there was an immediate back
— I mean, lashing out at the racist cartoon. It is unimaginable to think
that this — and it shouldn’t be imaginable — to think that this would
be directed at Jewish lives or Israeli lives, but it is permissible to
dehumanize Palestinians, until it has become part of the accepted
feeling within the American psyche or consciousness on the whole. And
so, everyone, I think, on the whole, except pockets here and there, is
really complicit in the permissibility of the destruction of Palestinian
lives, that has reached an unprecedented level in our hundred years of
being massacred, displaced, dehumanized.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>: Well, Fady, I want to ask you about a point that you raise in this beautiful <a href="https://lithub.com/a-palestinian-meditation-in-a-time-of-annihilation/">essay</a>
that you’ve written, “A Palestinian Meditation in a Time of
Annihilation.” In the essay, you cite Aimé Césaire, the renowned
Martinican poet, very important anticolonial thinker, who wrote one of
the canonical texts on colonialism, <em>A Discourse on Colonialism</em>.
You cite him saying, “Neither America nor Europe seem able or willing
to solve their colonial addiction, their civilizational motif. Israel is
a translation of that failure, a prized Western desire. But Israel has
agency in mechanizing this desire.” Could you explain, elaborate on
that?</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">FADY</span> <span class="caps">JOUDAH</span>:
Well, I think that, for some of us who know, or don’t know, that the
establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 was a response to the
Zionist movement in Europe by a Jewish people in Europe who had suffered
a lot of oppression. But to overcome that oppression, they chose to
side with the colonial aspect, the domineering aspect of the culture
that dominated them, and export that as a mode for success and triumph
into a Palestine, without much recognition of the racism involved in
dehumanizing what they call the Arab population of Palestine.</b></p>
<p><b>And since then, it has been in the interest of the West and the U.S.
to prop up Israel as an outpost, so to speak, for further domination of
the Middle East for various reasons. But the problem is that this kind
of propping up has really gone mad at this point. And, you know, I think
we’ve reached a moment — and others have said it — where the degree of
colonial viciousness that exists now in Israeli society, and is
supported by the West, sends us back to 19th century barbarism, really,
colonial barbarism. And then, obviously, Israel is interested in
affecting this kind of behavior within the U.S. through major lobby
influences and also cultural influences.</b></p>
<p><b>As I said, I — or let me say it this way. It would be an amazing
achievement if Zionists in the U.S., and outside it, would actually say
to a single Palestinian, “I am sorry.” Just once. This has not happened
in a hundred years. It has happened, of course, on an individual level. I
have Jewish friends and colleagues who have said it, because we are all
human, and there is no monolithic collective anywhere.</b></p>
<p><b>But I think that one of the things we need to do is to begin to shift
the language that speaks of the Palestinian and to allow for more
Palestinian presence in the American consciousness, beyond death and
dying. It seems to me that Palestinians in the West are only alive when
they are dying, and that is abhorrent and unacceptable. And that is part
of a settler colonial mentality that only humanizes its subjects when
they are limp, near dying, completely helpless, obedient. Any sense of
resistance or rise toward freedom or liberation is denied them through
dehumanizing language and, you know, manipulative approaches and
processes.</b></p>

there's electricity, this hospital will turn into a mass grave,”
Abu-Sittah said. “It's as simple as that. If we cannot keep the

than to come and die.”</b></blockquote></div><p class="sc-gZMcBi render-stellar-contentstyles__Paragraph-sc-9v7nwy-2 dCwndB"><b>Abu Al-Rish, in his video, said that pleas for help had gone unanswered.</b></p><p class="sc-gZMcBi render-stellar-contentstyles__Paragraph-sc-9v7nwy-2 dCwndB"><b>“No

complete their job to give the medication, to have follow up, without an
electromechanical system. Without the light even. It’s very
catastrophic.”</b></p><div><br /></div><div>This is not surprising, day after day has come with a warning of this. <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/2/are-israels-attacks-on-gazas-hospitals-legal">Lorraine Mallinder (ALJAZEERA) was among the many warning</a> in the last days, "The looming threat comes as hospitals across the besieged enclave,
deprived of essential fuel and medicine, are collapsing. Sixteen out of
35 are no longer functioning. Hospitals that are still running warn that
once generators shut down, they will be unable to keep ventilators, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/11/2/gaza-mothers-fear-for-premature-babies-as-fuel-shortages-cripple-hospitals">incubators</a>
and dialysis machines working and will effectively turn into morgues."
There are patients who cannot be moved. There are patients who need
treatment. The Israeli government doesn't care. But if it were your
loved one or friend, you'd care and you'd wonder what kind of a world is
letting this happen. The world is watching as these crimes take place.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/11/03/jkfq-n03.html">Jordan Shilton (WSWS) observes</a>,
"The Israeli regime is carrying out horrendous war crimes on a daily
basis, with Thursday marking the third day in a row that the Jabaliya
refugee camp was struck. As the official death toll among Palestinian
civilians surpassed 9,000, the Israel Defence Forces also reportedly
struck four schools within 24 hours and is preparing a horrific massacre
of civilians in Gaza City." What kind of a person can watch this
unfold and feel this is about peace? An idiot like Amy Schumer,
obviously, </div><div><br /></div><div><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rel8EONimA8?si=8_f6WEXc9ZyUNL_B" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>a hate merchant like Tulsi Gabbard as well. <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/11/03/roaming-charges-105/">Jeffery St. Clair (COUNTERPUNCH) notes</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p><b>+ Tulsi Gabbard, darling of Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore, on <a href="https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1719644307110650181">FoxNews</a>:</b></p>

painful and difficult day that will come tomorrow. So my message to
those people of Britain – who will stand up for us yet again today by
attending peaceful demonstrations held in London and other cities– is a
simple word of thanks. You restore my faith in humanity – each time you
march in our name and call for peace, each time you chant for a free

war against the people of Palestine, demonstrations continue in cities
across the U.S. Coordinated actions included the National Student
Walkout for Palestine in the U.S. and Canada on Oct. 25, which was
organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement, Dissenters and Students for
Justice in Palestine. In many cities, protests were held outside the
offices of U.S. senators and congress members, calling on them to
pressure President Joe Biden into agreeing to a ceasefire."</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/11/03/aixv-n03.html">Jacob Crosse (WSWS) reports on one protest</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>On November 2, some 500 students and workers participated in a rally

held at the Wayne State University campus in downtown Detroit, Michigan.</b></div><div><b>Speakers included students from the SJP, the IYSSE and the Socialist
Equality Party. After the speeches, a march was held in which protesters
chanted, “Biden Biden what do you say? How many kids did you kill
today?” “Israel Israel you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide,” and
“Free free Palestine” among others.</b></div><div><b>Prior to the march, Aya, the co-president of SJP at Wayne State
University, pointed out that while the last 27 days have featured
“relentless violence” and thousands of “shattered lives and lost

As pressure builds for a ceasefire after 27 days of Israel’s
bombardment of Gaza, we spend the rest of the hour with the acclaimed
author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates. This summer, he spoke at a
literary festival in the West Bank that connected the Palestinian
struggle with decolonization struggles around the world. In Ramallah, he
opened his remarks with a comparison between the struggle of African
Americans and Palestinians.</b></p>
<p><b>In recent weeks, Coates joined dozens of other writers and artists in
signing “An Open Letter from Participants in the Palestine Festival of
Literature,” that was <a href="https://www.nybooks.com/online/2023/10/14/an-open-letter-from-participants-in-the-palestine-festival-of-literature/">published</a> in <em>The New York Review of Books</em>
and called for, quote, “the international community to commit to ending
the catastrophe unfolding in Gaza and to finally pursuing a
comprehensive and just political solution in Palestine.”</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Last night, Ta-Nehisi Coates participated in another event hosted by
organizers of the Palestine Festival of Literature, or PalFest, in the
James Chapel at Union Theological Seminary here in New York City. It was
called “But We Must Speak: On Palestine and the Mandates of
Conscience.”</b></p>
<p><b>Ta-Nehisi is the recipient of a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship and
the recipient of numerous prizes, including the National Book Award for
his book <em>Between the World and Me</em>. <em>We Were Eight Years in Power</em> is another book, <em>An American Tragedy</em>, and his memoir, <em>The Beautiful Struggle</em>. His novel is titled <em>The Water Dancer</em>. In 2014, he wrote an award-winning <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/">cover story</a> for <em>The Atlantic</em> magazine headlined “The Case for Reparations.”</b></p>
<p><b>Ta-Nehisi, welcome back to <em>Democracy Now!</em> It’s great to have
you with us, under extremely difficult circumstances. Last night, this
remarkable event almost didn’t happen. I mean, it was in the James
Chapel of Union Theological Seminary, but venue after venue had said no
to this gathering. And without almost any publicity, well over a
thousand people turned out, but the place only held 300, so people went
over across the street to another place of 300, overcrowd, overflow, and
then thousands watched on the live video stream. Can you talk about
your experience being in the West Bank, going to the Occupied
Territories, and how it changed you?</b></p>
<p><b>TA-<span class="caps">NEHISI</span> <span class="caps">COATES</span>:
Oh wow. I spent 10 days in Palestine, in the Occupied Territories and
in Israel proper. I’ve had the great luxury over the past 10 years of
seeing a few countries. I have not spent more time or seen more of
another country or another territory than I did this summer.</b></p>
<p><b>I think what shocked me the most was, in any sort of opinion piece or
reported piece, or whatever you want to call it, that I’ve read about
Israel and about the conflict with the Palestinians, there’s a word that
comes up all the time, and it is “complexity,” that and its closely
related adjective, “complicated.” And so, while I had my skepticisms and
I had my suspicions of the Israeli government, of the occupation, what I
expected was that I would find a situation in which it was hard to
discern right from wrong, it was hard to understand the morality at
play, it was hard to understand the conflict. And perhaps the most
shocking thing was I immediately understood what was going on over
there.</b></p>
<p><b>Probably the best example I can think of is the second day, when we
went to Hebron, and the reality of the occupation became clear. We were
driving out of East Jerusalem. I was with PalFest, and we were driving
out of East Jerusalem into the West Bank. And, you know, you could see
the settlements, and they would point out the settlements. And it
suddenly dawned on me that I was in a region of the world where some
people could vote and some people could not. And that was obviously
very, very familiar to me. I got to Hebron, and we got out as a group of
writers, and we were given a tour by our Palestinian guide. And we got
to a certain street, and he said to us, “I can’t walk down this street.
If you want to continue, you have to continue without me.” And that was
shocking to me.</b></p>
<p><b>And we walked down the street, and we came back, and there was a
market area. Hebron is very, very poor. It wasn’t always very poor, but
it’s very, very poor. Its market area has been shut down. But there are a
few vendors there that I wanted to support. And I was walking to try to
get to the vendor, and I was stopped at a checkpoint. Checkpoints all
through the city, checkpoints obviously all through the West Bank. Your
mobility is completely inhibited, and the mobility of the Palestinians
is totally inhibited.</b></p>
<p><b>And I was walking to the checkpoint, and an Israeli guard stepped
out, probably about the age of my son. And he said to me, “What’s your
religion, bro?” And I said, “Well, you know, I’m not really religious.”
And he said, “Come on. Stop messing around. What is your religion?” I
said, “I’m not playing. I’m not really religious.” And it became clear
to me that unless I professed my religion, and the right religion, I
wasn’t going to be allowed to walk forward. So, he said, “Well, OK, so
what was your parents’ religion?” I said, “Well, they weren’t that
religious, either.” He says, “What were your grandparents’ religion?”
And I said, “My grandmother was a Christian.” And then he allowed me to
pass.</b></p>
<p><b>And it became very, very clear to me what was going on there. And I
have to say it was quite familiar. Again, I was in a territory where
your mobility is inhibited, where your voting rights are inhibited,
where your right to the water is inhibited, where your right to housing
is inhibited. And it’s all inhibited based on ethnicity. And that
sounded extremely, extremely familiar to me.</b></p>
<p><b>And so, the most shocking thing about my time over there was how
uncomplicated it actually is. Now, I’m not saying the details of it are
not complicated. History is always complicated. Present events are
always complicated. But the way this is reported in the Western media is
as though one needs a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern studies to understand the
basic morality of holding a people in a situation in which they don’t
have basic rights, including the right that we treasure most, the
franchise, the right to vote, and then declaring that state a democracy.
It’s actually not that hard to understand. It’s actually quite familiar
to those of us with a familiarity to African American history.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>:
Well, Ta-Nehisi Coates, last night you were asked about the
significance of Martin Luther King’s words on Vietnam. You said it’s
taken you years to, quote, “understand nonviolence as an ethic” and that
you understood that ethic in Israel. Could you explain?</b></p>
<p><b>TA-<span class="caps">NEHISI</span> <span class="caps">COATES</span>:
Yeah, sure, I mean, and I think the thing to do is just to proceed off
of what I said. Martin Luther King dedicated his life to the fight
against segregation. His was a segregated society. The Occupied
Territories are segregated, <em>de jure</em> segregated. It’s not, you
know, hard to understand. There are different signs for where different
people can go. There are different license plates forbidding different
people from going different places. Now, what the authorities will tell
you is that this is a security measure. But if you go back to the
history of Jim Crow in this country, they would tell you the exact same
thing. People always have good reasons, besides, you know, “I hate you,
and I don’t like you,” to justify their right for imposing an oppressive
regime on other people. It’s never quite that simple. And so, that was
the first thing.</b></p>
<p><b>But the second thing I think that you’re referring to is, you know, I
— you know, this is like really personal for me, because I came up in a
time and in a place where I did not really understand the ethic of
nonviolence. And by “ethic,” I mean the notion that violence itself is
corrupting, that it corrupts the soul. And I didn’t quite understand
that. If I’m truly honest with you, as much as I saw my relationship
with the Palestinian people and as much as it was clear what the
relationship was, it was at the same time clear that there was some sort
of relationship with the Israeli people, too. And it wasn’t one that I
particularly enjoyed, because I understood the rage that comes when you
have a history of oppression. I understood the anger. I understood the
sense of humiliation that comes when people subject you to just manifold
oppression, to genocide, and people look away from that. I come from
the descendants of 250 years of enslavement. I come from a people who
sexual violence and rape is marked in our very bones and in our <span class="caps">DNA</span>.
And I understand how when you feel that the world has turned its back
on you, how you can then turn your back on the ethics of the world. But I
also understood how corrupting that can be.</b></p>
<p><b>I was listening, actually, to my congressman last night, or I guess
it was two nights ago, talk on the news. And a journalist asked him,
“How many children, how many people must be killed to justify this
operation? Is there an upper limit for the number of people that could
be killed, when you would say, 'This is just too much. This just doesn't
— this just doesn’t, you know, compute. This does not add up’?” And I
will tell you, that congressman couldn’t give a number. And I thought,
“That man has been corrupted. That man has lost himself. He’s lost
himself in humiliation. He’s lost himself in vengeance. He has lost
himself in violence.”</b></p>
<p><b>I keep hearing this term repeated over and over again: “the right to
self-defense.” What about the right to dignity? What about the right to
morality? What about the right to be able to sleep at night? Because
what I know is, if I was complicit — and I am complicit — in dropping
bombs on children, in dropping bombs on refugee camps, no matter who’s
there, it would give me trouble sleeping at night. And I worry for the
souls of people who can do this and can sleep at night.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Let me ask you, Ta-Nehisi, last night, as I said at the beginning, I
think Union Theological was the fifth place that PalFest had turned to
for this event. I want to point out who was there. Among the speakers
was you, you know, a MacArthur “genius” fellow; was Michelle Alexander,
the remarkable author and lawyer; Rashid Khalidi, a leading Palestinian
American scholar, Edward Said professor of Arab studies at Columbia
University; and others. And you being at Union Theological, you know,
Dr. Martin Luther King is known for that speech, “Why I Oppose the War
in Vietnam,” that he gave across the street at Riverside Church, but he
started at Union Theological. So many people came, he had to go across
the street for it. But can you talk about this difficulty in speaking
out? I mean, just last week, we spoke to Viet Thanh Nguyen, who is the
Vietnamese American Pulitzer Prize-winning author, who was on a book
tour for his latest memoir, and the 92nd Street Y, now known as 92NY,
canceled his conversation about his memoir because he had signed on to a
letter — I think it was signed by 750 other people — calling for a
ceasefire. The U.N. secretary-general has called for a Gaza ceasefire.
Can you talk about what it means to break the sound barrier, and if you
were nervous about coming out and speaking about Gaza, about the West
Bank, even going, to begin with, knowing what you would feel responsible
for doing once you came out?</b></p>
<p><b>TA-<span class="caps">NEHISI</span> <span class="caps">COATES</span>:
Yeah, I wasn’t just nervous. I was afraid. You know, I hear people talk
all the time about how fearlessness is a necessary quality. And I have
never had that. I’ve never had that in my life, and I certainly have
never had that in my career.</b></p>
<p><b>I spent five days with PalFest when I was over there, and then I
spent another five days with a group of Israeli Jews. And I knew that
whatever I was going to see — like, I had a sentiment. I couldn’t
express it like I just expressed it for you right now, because,
obviously, I hadn’t been there. But I had a sentiment that what I was
going to see was not going to be great. And I know that, A, because of
my upbringing, and I know that, B, because of my vocation as a
journalist, you can’t behold evil and then return and not speak on it.
And segregation is evil. There just is no — there’s no way for me, as an
African American, to come back and stand before you, to witness
segregation and not say anything about it.</b></p>
<p><b>One of the hardest things was to come back and then to read the
rhetoric of certain African American politicians who are defending this
regime. And I just — I couldn’t understand it. You know, I wanted to
know if they had been to Hebron. You know, I wanted to know if they had
been to Masafer Yatta, if they had been to Shusha, if they had been to
Tubas. Had they seen? Had they really seen what is actually happening
here? I don’t know how anybody who benefits, who stands on the shoulders
of our ancestors’ struggle against Jim Crow, against segregation, could
see what is happening right now, could see the bombs being dropped,
9,000 people dead, an ungodly number of them children, in service of Jim
Crow and segregation, which we have exported, and be OK with that. I
don’t — I don’t understand it.</b></p>
<p><b>So, yes, I have my fears. I do. I do. You know, I’m afraid right now,
sitting here talking to you. But I have to measure my fear against the
misery that I saw. I have to measure my fear against the promises that I
made to the Palestinians who welcomed me into their homes and gave me
the facts, to the Israeli Jews who welcomed me into their homes and gave
me the facts, to the Holocaust survivors who welcomed me into their
homes and gave me the facts. I have to measure it against my own
ancestors, against Frederick Douglass, against Ida B. Wells, who
certainly faced off against things that were much, much more perilous
than going someplace, coming back and telling people what you saw. This
is the minimum. It’s scary, but it’s also the minimum. And the fact that
people are trying to suppress speech is not an excuse for you not to
speak. It’s always been this way for Black writers and journalists. This
is our tradition, you know? And so, I feel — as I do feel the fear, I
also feel that I am in good company, because I’m in the company of my
ancestors.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>:
Well, Ta-Nehisi, I want to ask you about the way in which this conflict
is in fact being represented in the media and, as you pointed out,
politicians, congressmembers, but also the White House. On Monday, White
House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre compared pro-Palestinian
protesters to the white supremacists who took part in the deadly —</b></p>
<p><b>TA-<span class="caps">NEHISI</span> <span class="caps">COATES</span>: Yeah, I saw it.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>:
— Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. She made
the comment in response to a question from Fox News’s Peter Doocy.</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">PETER</span> <span class="caps">DOOCY</span>: Does President Biden think the anti-Israel protesters in this country are extremists?</b></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">PRESS</span> <span class="caps">SECRETARY</span> <span class="caps">KARINE</span> <span class="caps">JEAN</span>-<span class="caps">PIERRE</span>:
What I can say is what we’ve been very clear about this: When it comes
to antisemitism, there is no place. We have to make sure that we speak
against it very loud and be — and be very clear about that. Remember,
what the president decided to — when the president decided to run for
president is what he saw in Charlottesville in 2017, when we — he saw
neo-Nazis marching down the streets of Charlottesville with vile,
antisemitic just hatred. And he was very clear then, and he’s very clear
now. He’s taken actions against this over the past two years. And he’s
continued to be clear: There is no place — no place — for this type of
vile and despite — this kind of rhetoric.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>: So, Ta-Nehisi Coates, that’s the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Your response?</b></p>
<p><b>TA-<span class="caps">NEHISI</span> <span class="caps">COATES</span>:
You know, I don’t want to personalize this. I’m sure she’s a very, you
know, nice person and a very, very kind person. But, you see, all of us
stand on the shoulders of Martin Luther King. All of us stand on the
shoulders of the nonviolent struggle. And on King’s birthday, the White
House, like it’s done for years, stands up, and, you know, it praises
Dr. King, and it talks about Dr. King as our modern-day prophet. I don’t
know how these people do that and sleep at night. I don’t know how you
compare people who are trying to stop a war, who are very much in the
tradition of nonviolence, who are trying to stop bombs being dropped,
literally, on refugee camps, to neo-Nazi protesters. It’s disgraceful,
to use her own words. It’s disgraceful. It’s reprehensible. It is
offensive, as far as I am concerned, to the shoulders on those whom we
stand right now. I just — I don’t understand it.</b></p>
<p><b>I would extend this further. I mean, I think hearing President Biden
himself — and here I will personalize it — downplay the number of
Palestinian deaths, to say that he doesn’t believe the Palestinians, I
just — when his own State Department was citing those figures only
months ago, you know? At some point, you know, there’s that saying: When
people show you who they are, you have to believe them. And so, I’ve
spent a lot of time trying to do the political calculus on this. And I
think at a certain point we have to just stop and say, “They believe
it.” They believe it. They believe bombs should be dropped on children.
They just think it’s OK. They think it’s OK, or at the very least they
think it’s the price of doing business.</b></p>
<p><b>That’s not an ethic I can align myself from, because, as I’ve said
several times in this interview, I come from a history where people
wanted to make the exact same calculus about us and took stances that we
would now say are immoral. But, see, the test isn’t what you did in the
past; the test is what you do in the moment right now. I’m a writer. I
would be much more comfortable — I was working on a book about this. I
would be much more comfortable sitting at home writing about this,
before I’m here talking to you guys right now. It is not my nature to
talk about things that I have not written about yet. But one has to
balance one’s responsibility against the suffering, against the death,
against the body count. And to see what is coming out of this White
House right now is just — it’s morally reprehensible. Again, I don’t
know how people sleep at night.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
You’ve been talking about Dr. King. His daughter, Dr. Bernice King, who
heads The King Center, lawyer, Martin Luther King’s youngest daughter,
responded to a post by the comedian Amy Schumer, who shared a video of
Dr. King condemning antisemitism and defending Israel’s right to exist.
Bernice King wrote, quote, “Certainly, my father was against
antisemitism. He also believed militarism (along with racism and
poverty) to be among the interconnected Triple Evils. I am certain he
would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease,” Dr. Bernice
King said. And so, if you could comment on this and also talk about how
the issue of Palestinians, the Occupied Territories, the occupation, has
been raised in the Black community, the Movement for Black Lives, for
years now, and the pressure you come under when you do?</b></p>
<p><b>TA-<span class="caps">NEHISI</span> <span class="caps">COATES</span>:
Yeah, and, look, I think it’s very, very important to talk about the
force of antisemitism in history, indeed in American history, in fact.
It’s a very, very, very real thing, and I don’t think you can understand
the events of the moment without understanding that.</b></p>
<p><b>And I think, over the past few weeks especially, much has been made
about the historic alliance between Black folks and Jewish activists and
Jewish folks and that sort of thing. And it’s a very, very real thing.
It’s a very, very important thing. But I think, like any alliance, it is
at its best when it grounds itself in moral principle, not in a kind of
gang truce, not in a kind of “I had your back, so you’ll have mine.” A
moral alliance that is transactional is actually, in fact, not a moral
alliance. And we have always been at our best — you know, when I think
about the Jewish civil rights workers who went south and put their
bodies on the line for the civil rights movement, I like to think — and I
think it’s true — that that was not a transactional arrangement. That
was not, you know, an attempt to say, “Look, I’m doing this because I
think you’ll have my back in the future.” They did it because it was
right. They did it based on principle.</b></p>
<p><b>And so, you know, I think some of the frustration that certain,
certain people feel about the lack of African American support for this
war comes from this notion that we should have people’s back as they
drop bombs to try to defend a segregationist apartheid regime. We
shouldn’t do that. And we haven’t done that. That’s the history that you
allude to, I mean, going back to Angela Davis, to <span class="caps">SNCC</span>,

as a latecomer to the cause, but someone who has come to the cause
nonetheless. We have to stand on principle, Ma’am. We have to stand on
principle. And if I’m a latecomer to the Palestinian cause, I’m also a
latecomer to the cause of nonviolence, but I’m here now. You know? And
knowing what that has meant to our history, you know, to our — there is
no way in the world that we can leverage the memory of Dr. Martin Luther
King, there’s no way in the world we can leverage the weight, the
ancestry of our movement, in defense of a war, in defense of
indiscriminate bombings on refugee camps. We just — we can’t do that. We

Ta-Nehisi, last night, just to end, you said — we’ve just spoken about
the fact that it was so difficult for the Palestine Festival of
Literature to find a venue for last night’s event. Your own books here
in the U.S. have faced book bans, and yours aren’t the only ones, of
course. But you’ve said that when people resort to these measures — book
banning, limiting public discussions — these are weapons of a weak and a
decaying order. Could you explain what you mean by that, and why there
is, despite the horror of the moment, some scope for optimism?</b></p>

Well, I think if you — and a lot of this is, you know, actually from my
time talking to Rashid Khalidi, Professor Rashid Khalidi up at
Columbia. And one of the points he made — you know, I came back from
Palestine, and I just was glass-eyed. I didn’t understand. I had this
deep-seated feeling that, in fact, I had been lied to. And I began
consulting people and talking to people. And so, I got to spend some
time with Professor Khalidi.</b></p>
<p><b>And one of the things he said to me was, never has the movement —
this is somebody who’s been fighting this war for his entire life. He
said, “Never has the movement been as powerful as it is right now.” And,
you know, I had to take that in. I also have to take in the fact that,
like, when I think about what I did not know, and when I did not know,
it wasn’t that I had competing sources and I didn’t know where to turn.
The way I think Americans have traditionally, up until very recently,

<p><b>This RSF complaint to the ICC
concerns eight Palestinian journalists who were killed in bombardments
of civilian areas in Gaza by Israel, and an Israeli journalist who was
killed on 7 October while covering an attack on his kibbutz by Hamas.</b></p>
<p><b>The attacks suffered by Palestinian journalists in Gaza correspond to the international humanitarian law <a class="external-website" href="https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/fr/customary-ihl/v1/rule12" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="definition - ouverture dans un nouvel onglet">definition</a>
of an indiscriminate attack and therefore constitute war crimes under
Article 8.2.b. of the Rome Statute. Even if these journalists were the
victims of attacks aimed at legitimate military targets, as the Israeli
authorities claim, the attacks nevertheless caused manifestly excessive
and disproportionate harm to civilians, and still amount to a war crime
under this article.</b></p>
<p><b>The Israeli journalist’s death
constituted the wilful killing of a person protected by the Geneva
Conventions, which is a war crime under article 8.2.a. of the ICC’s Rome
Statute.</b></p>
<p><b>It will be up to the ICC
prosecutor’s office to determine the precise nature of these crimes and,
at the end of their investigation, to select any other applicable
classification.</b></p>
<p><b>In its complaint, RSF also calls
on the prosecutor to investigate all of the cases of journalists killed
since 7 October – 34, according to our latest information. RSF’s
complaint details the cases of journalists killed in the course of their
work. Other cases are still being investigated before being referred to
the ICC. Several reporters have been killed or wounded in Lebanon,
which – unlike Palestine – is not a State Party to the ICC. RSF is
looking into the possibility of referring these cases to other competent
jurisdictions.</b></p>
<p><strong>RSF’s third complaint about war crimes against Palestinian journalists in Gaza</strong></p>
<p><b>This is RSF’s third complaint to the ICC prosecutor about war crimes against Palestinian journalists in Gaza since 2018. The <a href="https://rsf.org/en/rsf-asks-icc-investigate-israeli-sniper-fire-palestinian-journalists">first</a> was filed in May 2018 about journalists killed or injured during the “Great March of Return” protests in Gaza. The <a href="https://rsf.org/en/rsf-asks-icc-prosecutor-say-whether-israeli-airstrikes-media-gaza-constitute-war-crimes">second</a>
was filed in May 2021 following Israeli air strikes on more than 20
media outlets in the Gaza Strip. RSF also supported the complaint filed
by <em>Al Jazeera</em> about the fatal shooting of Palestinian journalist <a href="https://rsf.org/en/shireen-abu-akleh-s-murder-rsf-alongside-al-jazeera-support-its-complaint-icc">Shirin Abu Akleh</a> in the West Bank on 11 May 2022.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>In other news, <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/durbin-cease-fire">Jake Johnson (COMMON DREAMS) reports</a>:</p></div></div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><p><b> Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin on Thursday became the first U.S. senator
to call for a cease-fire in Gaza and Israel, joining the head of the
United Nations, human rights organizations, and nearly two dozen House
progressives.

Durbin (D-Ill.), the number two Senate Democrat, said during a <em>CNN</em> appearance that he supports a cease-fire agreement that includes the "immediate release" of all hostages. <br /></b></p><p><b>
"An effort should be made to engage in conversation between the

said it was guilty of 'clear violations of international humanitarian

affairs chief Martin Griffiths to 'teach them a lesson'." It's not just
about carrying out an assault on Gaza, it's about bullying and

the art of public speaking and became spokespeople for the faith. They

<p>Never would have thought Chyna Phillips was a Karen. Turns out, she's far worse. She's a homophobic witch.</p><p><a href="http://sexandpoliticsandscreedsandattitude.blogspot.com/">Rebecca</a> just called me. She left a comment at Chynna's video that just went up about 30 minutes ago, the video is:</p><h1 class="style-scope ytd-watch-metadata" style="-webkit-box-orient: vertical; -webkit-line-clamp: 2; background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #0f0f0f; display: -webkit-box; font-family: "YouTube Sans", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 2.8rem; margin: 0px; max-height: 5.6rem; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; word-break: break-word;"><yt-formatted-string class="style-scope ytd-watch-metadata" force-default-style="">Victoria Jackson Hosts California Healin' Group!</yt-formatted-string></h1><p><br /></p><p>And,
no, I'm not reposting it. So they won't allow Rebecca's comment to go
up. She noted that she never expected Chynna to be a homophobe but here
she is platforming Victoria Jackson and making nice with her. Again,
by the way, not the firs time.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don't know the
slut Victoria Jackson, consider yourself lucky. She was the worst
member of SNL ever. That's why they don't invite her back. She had no
talent and played a breasty slut in every skit because she thought that
was comedy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, she lies that she's a Christian.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-04-13/victoria-jackson-snl-star-anti-lgbtq-pride">April of this year, The Los Angeles Times reported</a>:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 30px;"><b>More

out Chynna will be on stage with Wilson Phillips on Oct. 23rd at
Thunder Valley Casino and Resort. Boycott them. I doubt the Wilson
sisters -- Carnie and Wendy -- are homophobes but a message needs to be
sent as a war on LGBTQ+ people is carried out in this country:
Homophobia is not acceptable. And it's not Christian. As someone
raised in the church -- the Black church -- I think I know a great deal
more about Christ than White Karen Chynna who discovered Jesus only
after she was a do-nothing house wife who needed to do something for
media attention.

Friday, October 20, 2023. Gaza remains under assault as Joe Biden wants
to send more weapons and money to the Israeli government (as well as
even more billions to Ukraine).<div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Oh, Joe. What do you say when Joe just lies? What do you say?</div><div><br /></div><div>You know, earlier this morning, I returned from Israel. They tell me
I’m the first American president to travel there during a war.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>He
said that last night in his televised speech. When has the region not
been at war? Israel's been oppressing Palestinians since day one. <b><a href="https://thomasfriedmanisagreatman.blogspot.com/">Betty</a></b>, rightly, noted this during the "<a href="http://thirdestatesundayreview.blogspot.com/2023/10/roundtable.html">Roundtable</a>"
we did at THIRD, "What I found so hilarious was she was also Tweeting
about Indigenous
Day. I know her face is cracked, but is her mind as well? The
Indigenous people right now are the Palestinians. They are akin to the
Native Americans. It's their land that was stolen. Barbara Lee and her
tired old ass need to leave Congress." The she Betty's referring to is
Barbara Lee who's never done a thing to defend Palestinians.</div><div><br /></div><div>This
is utter nonsense. And it's shameful that former President George
H.W. Bush did more for Palestinians in 1991 than Joe Biden's doing in
2023. Israel was displacing the Palestinians -- in part to make room
for Soviet Jews -- and the government was eager to get their hands on
$10 billion from the US but then Bush put a 120 day halt on the loan
until the Israel government stopped displacing the Palestinians. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-lonely-little-george-h-w-bush-changed-the-us-israel-relationship/">Eric Cortellessa (TIMES OF ISRAEL) quotes</a>
the late Bush stating, "It is in the best interest of the peace process
and of peace itself that consideration of this absorption aid question
for Israel be deferred for simply 120 days. I think the American people
will strongly support me in this. I'm going to fight for it because I
think this is what the American people want, and I'm going to do
absolutely everything I can to back those members of the United States
Congress who are forward-looking in their desire to see peace."</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Joe
smiled too much throughout that speech. He was also swaying and
looking confused. Maybe the lies were too much for him to sell? He
noted 1300 Israelis killed in the attack on October 7th and yet didn't
note the over 4,000 residents of Gaza that have been killed nor did he
note that these are civilians and that that punishing them for the
actions of others is collective punishment, is a War Crime.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Far more effective was <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2023/10/19/rashida_tlaib_naomi_klein_dc_rally">the speech US House Rep Rashida Tlaib gave in DC on Wednesday</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><blockquote><p><b> I wish all the Palestinian people would see this. I wish
they can see that not all of America want them to die, that they are
not disposable. They have a right to live. They didn’t ask to be born in
occupation. And so I just want to thank you on the bottom of my heart.
The dehumanization has chipped at my soul, and I can’t imagine what it’s
made so many other people feel. So, you all being here to speak truth —
because the warmongers are out, y’all. They are ready. They want to
kill and not stop. It’s pure insanity.</b></p>

<blockquote>
<p><b>I still remember the cry of Maya, who was being dragged out of that
festival, crying for her father. But just like poor Shaima in Gaza, who
was number one in her scores — I don’t know if you know anything about
Palestinian culture, but it’s a big that somebody from Gaza could score
number one on her — you know, it’s like the valedictorian for the whole
Palestinian people. And both of them — both of them are victims. They’re
victims of the oppression, of the violence. They both deserve to live. I
don’t care what their faith is or their ethnicity. Maya didn’t deserve
to be targeted. Neither did Shaima deserve to die. And that’s the common
humanity that we all have to remember, because they’re trying to take
it away from us. And we have to make sure it doesn’t happen, not on our
watch.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b>I’m going to be real with you all. My colleagues, many of them — I
usually don’t talk smack about them. No, I’m usually considerate,
because I don’t like them policing me, so I don’t police them. But as an
American, not just as a member of the United States Congress, I am
ashamed. I am ashamed that they’re saying, “Not yet. Maybe next week.”</b></p></blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> Joe
had his hands out grabbing for your money for more war -- to back the
government of Israel but mainly to back the US-installed Ukraine
government. <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/10/20/zxcu-o20.html">Patrick Martin (WSWS) explains</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>Biden’s speech was not a serious attempt to convince anyone or
rationally explain US foreign policy. It consisted of a series of non
sequiturs strung one after the other, with no coherent argument binding
them together. Biden drew a parallel between Hamas and Russian President
Vladimir Putin that, objectively, did not make the slightest sense.</b></p><p><b>But
as he spoke, it became clear that the main aim of the speech was to
“utilize the war in Gaza” to procure a “massive spending bill for the
war in Ukraine” to prop up the Zelensky government following the failure
of its summer offensive.</b></p><p><b>Indeed, the <em>New York Times</em> has
reported that $60 billion of the $100 billion spending bill Biden
proposed in the speech will go to fight the war in Ukraine against
Russia. This figure is more than twice Biden’s initial request of $24
billion in August. Some $14 billion will go to Israel.</b></p><p><b>Despite its
rambling and incoherent nature, the main import of the speech is clear:
America is hurtling towards global war, and the president of the United
States, the so-called “commander-in-chief,” is demanding $100 billion
in additional funds, on top of the $1 trillion already proposed for all
military spending, to finance this explosion of military aggression.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>Patrick
notes that Joe also spoke of this outrageous sum of money -- US
taxpayer money -- as "an investment." I'm sorry, if a company is
failing, I don't call my broker and say, "Put everything in!" No, I
sell my stocks and get out while I can. But the US-installed government
in Ukraine is losing and has been losing. The US government installed
those losers. They do not represent the people of Ukraine. That's why
they couldn't win an election and Victoria Nuland and other Americans in
government worked to overthrow them. I don't take stock tips from
idiots and Joe's a real idiot to keep pouring money into Ukraine. We
supposedly don't have money for Medicare For All in this country but
we've sent $75 billion to Ukraine and Joe now wants to send $60 billion
more? </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/biden-military-aid-israel">Jake Johnson (COMMON DREAMS) adds</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>Roughly 24 hours before Biden's Oval Office address, senior U.S. State Department official Josh Paul

of northern Gaza to vacate their homes. This is Raafat al-Nakhal

rescue the children.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
This all comes as Israel has amassed tanks on the border of Gaza ahead
of what appears to be an imminent ground invasion. Protests have been
growing across the Middle East after hundreds of Palestinians died in an
explosion at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. Palestinians say the blast
was caused by an Israeli missile. Israel has denied responsibility
despite attacking the same hospital just days earlier. According to the
World Health Organization, 115 health facilities have been attacked so
far in Gaza.</b></p>
<p><b>On the diplomatic front, the United States vetoed a U.N. Security
Council resolution calling for a humanitarian pause in Gaza. President
Biden, who’s returned from Israel, is scheduled to give a primetime
address tonight seeking $100 billion from Congress to help arm Israel,
Ukraine and Taiwan. Meanwhile, Israel now says they believe 203 hostages
are being held in Gaza after being seized in the Hamas attack on
October 7th that killed over 1,400 people in Israel.</b></p>
<p><b>We go now to Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, where we’re joined

since 2006, is also a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization
Central Council.</b></p>
<p><b>Dr. Barghouti, welcome back to <em>Democracy Now!</em> If you can respond to —</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>: Thank you.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
— all the developments? Most recently, of course, President Biden has
just left. Your assessment of his visit and the Arab summit that was
canceled by Mahmoud Abbas, who’s based where you are, in Ramallah, the
head of the Palestinian Authority, the Jordanian king and the Egyptian
president, after the attack on the hospital, and your assessment of what
Israel is saying about that attack?</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>:
You know, Amy, I don’t know where to start. The atrocities are beyond
description. We are subjected now, as Palestinians, not only in Gaza but
also in the West Bank, to horrifying war crimes, ethnic cleansing, acts
of collective punishment against the population of Gaza, where
civilians are dying because they don’t have water, they don’t have
electricity, they don’t have food, they don’t have medicines, and an act
of genocide. Every five minutes, a Palestinian is killed in Gaza. Every
15 minutes, a Palestinian child is killed in Gaza. And it goes on. My
last number is 3,785. I think it’s already wrong, because with the
passage of each minute, more Palestinians are killed.</b></p>
<p><b>What did President Biden do? Instead of coming here and telling the
Israelis — and he knows very well that the United States is the only
country in the world that has leverage over Israel. Instead of telling
them, “Stop this atrocity. Have ceasefire, so that you can at least save
the prisoners that are in Gaza, the Israeli prisoners,” he came here to
be totally complicit with Israeli war crimes and to push the United
States into becoming a participant in these war crimes by sending
soldiers to participate in the Israeli invasion and in the crimes that
are committed against the Palestinian people.</b></p>
<p><b>He bought every lie that Netanyahu told him, and he kept repeating
them. And I don’t understand how the American intelligence structure
don’t tell their president that these are lies. I am sure they know
that. The first lie about decapitating children, it turned out to be a
big lie. The other lie about raping women, it turned out to be a lie,
and that’s what <em>Los Angeles Times</em> apologized about. Then this
huge lie about Palestinians killing themselves in their hospital, this
huge lie that Israel distributed and the Israeli military did, as they
usually do, by telling series of lies and changing them one time after
the other.</b></p>
<p><b>Before I come back to President Biden, let me explain. Israel
committed a terrible airstrike on the Baptist Hospital, run by the
Anglican Church, killing no less than 300 — killing no less than 473
Palestinian people, mainly children and women, and injuring more than
300 others. Why? For what? It was all about the Israeli ultimatum that
was already, according to <span class="caps">WHO</span>, sent to no less
than 27 hospitals, including the largest hospital in Gaza, Shifa
Hospital, to evict and evacuate so that Israel can conduct its ethnic
cleansing of big parts of Gaza at the moment, with a plan of ethnically
cleansing all of Gaza Strip. The strike was clearly Israeli. The type of
explosion is something that no Palestinian militant group has, a huge
blast that took the lives of almost 500 people instantly, in less than a
minute. That’s a power that no Palestinian group has. So it was a big
lie.</b></p>
<p><b>But Israel lied four times in justifying this attack. The first
Israeli reaction was that they did the airstrike on the hospital — they
admitted it in the first round, and they said they did it because Hamas
militants were hiding there. Then they changed the story, and they said
that Hamas is taking Palestinians as human shield. Then the third story,
they changed the story and said it was Hamas rocket. And then the
fourth lie, which is now dominant, is that it was a jihadi rocket.</b></p>
<p><b>How could the United States repeat these lies and accept them without
verifying them? Israel did that before with the case of Shireen Abu
Akleh, when they changed their story four times. Each time, in the
beginning, they said she was killed by a Palestinian, and gradually they
admitted that it was their crime. Believe me, these lies should not be
continued.</b></p>
<p><b>And the United States should immediately support an immediate
ceasefire. The meeting that should have been taking place with the
Jordanian king and with the Egyptian president and with Palestinian
president did not take place because all these three people realized
that Mr. Biden does not want to support ceasefire immediately. And they
realized that he’s practically supporting the ethnic cleansing of
Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt, something that Egypt refused and
something that Jordan refused and something that all the Arab countries
refused. That is the essence of what’s happening now.</b></p>
<p><b>And so, Israel now is changing the plan a little bit by pushing all
the people from the northern part of Gaza and the middle of Gaza into
the southern part. It’s already a very small area of less than 140
square miles, becoming now less than 60 square miles, with 2.3 million
people. They say they pushed them down for safety, but they continue to
bombard them in the south. The game is clear: They want to ethnically
cleanse, completely, Gaza Strip. And they initiated acts of ethnic
cleansing already in the West Bank, where 20 Palestinian communities
have already been evicted by Israeli terror settlers, where more than 75
Palestinians already killed also in the West Bank. At this very moment,
the Israeli army is attacking Tulkarem camp and Nur Shams camp in
Tulkarem area, using drones and using also rockets against civilian
population in a refugee camp. This is the situation that is getting
worse and worse every day.</b></p>
<p><b>And the real plan, as I can see it, according to what an Israeli
minister said, “We’re going to shrink Gaza’s size.” What does that mean?
Annexing the northern part and the middle of Gaza? What will happen to
all these hospitals? Let me read to you what World Health Organization
says. The World Health Organization says that 130 attacks — 136 attacks
were committed against health facilities in Gaza, during which time 491
Palestinians were killed, 16 health workers were killed, 370 people were
injured, 23 Palestinian health ambulances were destroyed, and 26
facilities were completely destroyed or partially destroyed.
Seventy-seven similar attacks also took place in the West Bank.</b></p>
<p><b>So nobody can convince us that it was Palestinians who killed
Palestinians in that hospital. And nobody should give any justification
for the behavior of President Biden. The only conclusion that one can
come to is that he cares only about his reelection. He doesn’t care even
about the lives of Israeli prisoners, neither him nor Netanyahu;
otherwise, why wouldn’t they accept ceasefire? Why Netanyahu continues
his airstrikes, although these airstrikes already killed 22 Israeli
prisoners? They continue because they don’t care about Palestinian lives
or Israeli lives.</b></p>
<p><b>And Mr. Biden should listen not to the lies of Netanyahu, but to the
noble voice of the Jewish people, the American Jewish people who came to
the American Congress to demonstrate and demand one thing: immediate
ceasefire. I’m telling you, we’re calling on the whole world to
immediately stand up, and instead of supporting the genocide and the
collective punishment and the hysterical Israeli ethnic cleansing, to
support immediate ceasefire, so we can stop the killings that are taking
place, a ceasefire that could guarantee safe passage to the prisoners,
but also that could guarantee humanitarian aid to Palestinians who are
now dying out because of thirst, because of starvation, and, most
importantly, because of lack of medicines and because of a possibility
of an epidemic that could immediately start in Gaza because of the
suspension of vaccinations for children and because of the destruction
of sanitary infrastructure. We could see an epidemic of cholera very
soon in Gaza. Is that what Mr. Biden wants? Is that what Mr. Netanyahu
wants? This is atrocity that should stop. And anybody that don’t call —
that doesn’t call, sorry, for a ceasefire immediately will be considered
not only complicit with these war crimes, but a participant in them.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>:
And, Dr. Barghouti, could you respond to the decision that Biden
announced of Egypt opening the Rafah border for 20 humanitarian trucks
to enter into Gaza, you know, and what you think the significance of
that is, if there is any, and the specific concerns you’ve raised as a
doctor, the tens of thousands of pregnant women in Gaza today, what the
fate of patients there are, who are in urgent need of medical care, and
none is available?</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>:
Well, one of the most striking scenes was the images of children who
died in the uterus of their mothers, because they were pregnant and they
were hit. But there are 5,500 Palestinian women who are giving birth
this month, and we already received terrible, terrible information about
them giving birth in the streets, because there is no place to go to.
The south of Gaza does not have any space anymore, besides the fact that
there is no safe space for anybody. Israel has already destroyed more
than 80,000 homes and houses of people, and people have no place to go
to. And there is very high risk now of an increased infant mortality,
perinatal mortality and maternal mortality because of the situation that
Palestinians find themselves in — no sanitary facilities, no drinking
water, no running water, no proper sewage system. It’s a total disaster
and total, total humanitarian crisis.</b></p>
<p><b>You asked me about something about President Biden. Can you repeat the question, please?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>: Yes, about the decision to let convoys, humanitarian convoys, 20, in from Egypt into Gaza.</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>:
Imagine 2.3 million people already deprived of fuel, water,
electricity, medications and food for 12 days. And you send 20 trucks
for them? What does that change? It’s less than a drop in the ocean.
That’s much less than what people need. It becomes only a cover of the
crime that is happening. I’m not against, of course, bringing these
trucks, whatever they can help, but that’s not what we need. We need an
open corridor so that food, water, electricity, as well as medications
can get to people. We have medical teams in Gaza. We have Palestinian
medical relief teams working along the work of the Red Crescent, as well
as the Ministry of Health. And they are calling us every day, telling
us, “We don’t have any more medications. We don’t have even dressing to
help the injured people. We don’t have proper sanitary facilities. How
can we deal with patients in these conditions?” You know, patients were
treated and surgical operations took place the other day on the stairs
of the hospitals, because there were no beds left. And the massacre that
happened in the Baptist Hospital was so shocking and practically
brought the whole health structure down. And now, already, three
hospitals stopped working, because they have no electricity, because
they don’t have sufficient medications. It’s a humanitarian disaster
that is building up.</b></p>
<p><b>And the only explanation is that Netanyahu wants to solve what he
thinks is the demographic problem of Israel, being that the number of
Palestinians today in West Bank and Gaza Strip and in Israel itself is
equal to the number of Israeli Jewish people. He wants to eliminate
that, first by ethnically cleansing the 2.3 million people in Gaza,
pushing them out of Gaza and then annexing Gaza Strip, and then initiate
a process of ethnic cleansing for Palestinians in the West Bank, first
in Area C and then in the rest of the West Bank. That’s why the king of
Jordan is so shocked about these plans, because he knows that he’s
coming next. After they finish with Gaza, they will move to the West
Bank. This is something that nobody should accept.</b></p>
<p><b>I never thought — I never thought, I admit — and I was wrong — I
never thought that Israel could dare to conduct ethnic cleansing in the
21st century. And unfortunately, I was wrong. That’s exactly what they
are doing today. And I ask the question. They say that Israel has the
right to respond. OK, they responded. They responded. They already
killed almost 4,000 people. How many thousands of children, how many
thousands of patients, how many thousands of women and men should die
before Israel decides it’s enough? Or should all the millions of
Palestinians disappear from Palestine and disappear from this world so
that these fascists — and I call them fascists and Nazis — that are
governing Israel would be satisfied?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>:
Dr. Barghouti, I just want to quote to you — I think this is the senior
minister to whom you were referring, comments he made — Israel’s
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, saying in an interview with Israel’s Army
Radio on Wednesday — he said, quote, that “At the end of this war, not
only will Hamas no longer be in Gaza, but the territory of Gaza will
also decrease.” So, if you could talk more about that, elaborate on your
point about what precisely they intend to do with Gaza, and then talk
about what’s happening in the West Bank? You said it’s also the site of
war crimes, of ethnic cleansing. But also the protests that are directed
against the Palestinian Authority there — we had earlier in headlines
that the protests across the West Bank have also taken aim at the ruling
Palestinian Authority, which has launched a violent crackdown on
demonstrations. A 12-year-old Palestinian girl named Razan Nasrallah was
shot and killed by PA security forces Tuesday during protests in Jenin.
So, if you could talk about that, the situation in the West Bank?</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>: Yeah. I’m sorry, but you asked about something else before the West Bank?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>: Yes. I just cited to you the person whom I thought you were mentioning earlier, the Israeli foreign minister —</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>: Oh, Cohen, yes, yes.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>: — talking about — yes, please.</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>:
Yes, yes, Eli Cohen. The foreign minister of Israel means that Israel
is turning now, since Egypt is not allowing the ethnic cleansing of
people in Gaza to Egypt up ’til now, is turning to plan B. And plan B is
to remove everybody in the northern part of Gaza and in Gaza City
itself — that is about 1.1 million to 1.2 million people — move them
down to the southern parts of Gaza and then annex that area, cutting
down the size of Gaza from 140 square miles to maybe now less than 50
square miles or maybe 60 square miles. This is the only explanation of
what he said, shrinking the size of Gaza, bringing it down. And they
think — the Israeli government thinks — that if they cluster all these
2.3 million people in such a small area, then the pressure will be so
huge that Egypt will be obliged to open the borders and let them out of
Gaza. And in that case, Israel would have achieved its original plan of
total ethnic cleansing, pushing Palestinians out of Palestine into the
Sinai. Mind you, 70% of these people have already been ethnically
cleansed by Israel in 1948. They were displaced from parts of the 520
communities that Israeli troops erased to earth back in 1948, committing
50 massacres and pushing Palestinians out of Palestine. They want to
repeat the same ethnic cleansing again.</b></p>
<p><b>But let me tell you, this is not the last plan of Israel. Netanyahu
made it very clear. Maybe I’m repeating that. He carried the map of
Israel in the United Nations in front of the whole world weeks ago, in
which that map, the map of Israel, included the annexation of all of the
West Bank and the annexation of all the occupied Gaza Strip. This is
their plan: annexation, ethnic cleansing and committing genocide against
the Palestinian population.</b></p>
<p><b>But in response to your question about West Bank, let me tell you the
situation here is very dangerous, is very grave. First of all, Israel
imposed practically a process of fragmenting the West Bank into 224
small islands or ghettos, if you want, separated from each other by no
less than 640 military Israeli checkpoints, many of which are closed
completely — for instance, Jericho now is totally closed — and then the
wall, of course, itself and the so-called bypass roads, which are
segregated roads exclusive for Israelis. Many, many Palestinians cannot
move now from one area to another. Our health work is becoming very,
very complicated in the West Bank because we cannot move medications, we
cannot move medical teams.</b></p>
<p><b>And the worst situation is in the so-called Area C, which represents
no less than 60% of the West Bank, where settlers are continuously
attacking Palestinians. The other day, Israeli terror settlers attacked
the village of Qusra, in Nablus area, killed three Palestinian
civilians. The army, the Israeli army, came and killed a fourth one. The
next day, when the people were having the funeral of these four
Palestinians killed, the settlers came back again and killed two more
people, a father and a son — six people in one village in less than 24
hours. The terror of settlers is everywhere.</b></p>
<p><b>But in addition to that, the Israeli army is conducting a wide-range
campaign of arresting Palestinians. According to my information, no less
than 750 Palestinians have been arrested during the last week. And the
number is growing, which means that the number of prisoners in Israeli
jails is more than 6,300 now, many of whom are held under the so-called
administrative detention, which means they don’t know why they are in
jail, they don’t have any legal due process. Their lawyers cannot even
defend them, because they don’t know what they are charged for,
including 260 children who are in Israeli jails at the moment.</b></p>
<p><b>Add to that the fact that already more than 75 Palestinians have been
killed. And the Israeli army, now thinking that everybody is busy with
what’s happening in Gaza, they are now conducting military operations
against Palestinian civil areas, including Tulkarem refugee camp and,
before that, Jenin refugee camp. And this can go on. So it’s a very
dangerous situation and a very risky situation for all Palestinians.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>:
Dr. Barghouti, we only have a minute, but what about, and why then, the
Palestinian Authority violent crackdown on demonstrations, with the
12-year-old Palestinian girl, Razan Nasrallah, shot and killed in Jenin?</b></p>
<p><b>DR. <span class="caps">MUSTAFA</span> <span class="caps">BARGHOUTI</span>:
That was also a crime, committed by Palestinian security forces, and it
should not have happened. It is unacceptable to encounter demonstrators
with gunfire. That is unacceptable. We’re not calling, of course, for
chaos or internal division here among Palestinians. We have enough of
what we have in front of us with fighting Israelis. But the reality is
that the behavior of the security apparatus is unacceptable, including
suppression of freedom of expression. People were mad. They were angry
at what was happening in Gaza, about the killing of people inside that
hospital. And maybe they made some — I mean, they went out of control.
But responding to that by shooting Palestinians, that’s the last thing
that we can accept or we should accept.</b></p>

Sarasota college, the smallest in the state university system — and one
that had, until recently, been regarded as a real gem — has been

holding the job had been paid:</span></div><div dir="ltr"><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr"><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><b>I

instead of the approximate $300,000 annual salary Okker was getting,
Corcoran — one of the most spectacularly underqualified college
presidents in America — will have his interim pay of $699,000 a year
boosted to nearly total compensation of $1.5 million a year.</b></p><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><b>All to run a small college with an enrollment of about 700 students.</b></p></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div>The following sites updated:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><h2 class="title"></h2>

How sad.</div><div><br /></div><div>She was the blond in the Thunderbird in the film classic AMERICAN GRAFFITTI. In a cast with strong performances from Mackenzie Phillips, Ron Howard, Cindy Williams, Bo Hopkins, Candy Clark, Harrison Ford and Paul Le Mat, she nearly walked away with the film. Once we knew her name a few years later, her performance became even more memorable.</div><div><br /></div><div>She did guest shots on many shows, I remember her on THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, for instance. I also remember her doing commercials for Ace ('is the place of the simple hardware man") and I think a mattress company.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then she was Chrissie Snow on THREE'S COMPANY.</div><div><br /></div><div>ABC especially tried to make a lot of blonds into stars. Farrah was already well known before CHARLIE'S ANGELS (LOGAN'S RUN, Lee Majors' wife, what became the best selling poster of all time). But ABC seemed to think they'd created her (which was one reason they screwed her over). </div><div><br /></div><div>They would think they created others including Suzanne -- Jo Ann Harris, Caren Kaye, Kim Basinger, Susan Lanier (Bambi on WELCOME BACK KOTTER), Melinda Naud, Morgan Fairchild (MORK & MINDY), Dianne Kay, Michelle Pfeiffer (DELTA HOUSE and B.A.D. CATS), Trish Stewart, Susan Buckner, Shelley Smith, Lorna Patterson, Alley Mills, Ann Jillian, Lydia Cornell, Karen Carlson, Donna Dixon . . . And that's just women on ABC while Suzanne was on ABC's THREE'S COMPANY that they just knew would be the big new hot blond. Most of those women you never heard of again. Ann Jillian did make a name for herself and so did Donna Dixon. Alley Mills would give up trying to be a lead actress and be the blah and whiney mom on the original WONDER YEARS -- a role that, to this day, she thinks was more important than it was which is why she always gives a pass to the sexual harassment that went on during the making of that awful show. Kim Basinger would be a leading lady (MY STEPMOM IS AN ALIEN, NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, Tim Burton's BATMAN, 9 1/2 WEEKS, THE NICE GUYS and LA CONFIDENTIAL). Only Michelle Pfeiffer would become a true star and that was years after her ABC appearances. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Susan Lanier was the blond on THREE'S COMPANY before Suzanne. And Susanne Zenor was the blond before Susan and before Denise Galik. That should have been ABC's clue that Suzanne Somers was something special. The first two pilots did not work. Two filmed pilots and three cast as the blond did not work.</div><div><br /></div><div>It only worked with Suzanne.</div><div><br /></div><div>Suzanne was not Chrissy Snow. She was already that mother of a teen or a pre-teen when she was cast. Chrissy was her creation. And maybe in death she can't get some credit for that?</div><div><br /></div><div>She made Chrissy into a real character, a character that audiences loved.</div><div><br /></div><div>And THREE'S COMPANY worked because of her. Not because of John Ritter who was always overpraised. He was not the show. Yes, it would survive without Suzanne. And without many and millions of others watching it. Because THREE'S COMPANY without Suzanne was like many CBS sitcoms that you never saw in syndication or wanted to.</div><div><br /></div><div>It coasted on good time slots and the past love people had for the show.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was a lousy show without Suzanne. </div><div><br /></div><div>Joyce DeWitt? There was indication -- strong indication -- that she could do more than Janet as written. Maybe they could have built around that but they didn't. Priscilla Barnes was not beloved. The show did not work witout Chrissie. That should have been obviously all along when the various cast assembles had not worked with her. By the time THREE'S COMPANY concluded with an hour long episode that spun off THREE'S A CROWD the next week in the same time slot, there should have been no denying it. THREE'S A CROWD starred John Ritter and it was garbage.</div><div><br /></div><div>John wasn't that funny. What worked and put him over on THREE'S COMPANY was his work with Suzanne. They had a nice chemistry together. He was supposed to be the next big thing for years and years before THREE'S COMPANY -- that includes a guest spot on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW and the film NICKELODIAN. He had a long running part on THE WALTONS that amounted to nothing. Guest spots on M*A*S*H, PHYLLIS, RHODA, etc. It never happened. It only happened with Suzanne. </div><div><br /></div><div>After that, it never happened again. He did other sitcoms and it just didn't work. Markie Post was not Suzanne Somers nor was Katey Segal.</div><div><br /></div><div>Why did Suzanne leave?</div><div><br /></div><div>She was fired.</div><div><br /></div><div>She wanted more money and prestige. ABC wanted to destroy her. What was she was asking for would have put her on par with John Ritter. She deserved it. In 1981 when she began making her demands, Larry Hagman had just done the same thing. Too sick to tape DALLAS unless he got a pay raise. And he wasn't chastized in the press though they all felt Suzanne was asking for too much. It was sexism plain and simple. And the show died after she was gone. Her last episodes, just appearing at the very end and by telephone were funnier and more important than all that had come in the episode before.</div><div><br /></div><div>They were idiots to get rid of her. They were idiots not to value what she'd done.</div><div><br /></div><div>She'd have some success with SHE'S THE SHERRIF -- a syndicated sitcom -- which was not as awful as many pretended it was. It wouldn't be until the mini-series HOLLYWOOD WIVES that she was really back to acting. She'd give fine performances -- and find another sitcom hit playing Carol on STEP BY STEP -- but she kept Chrissy away from the public. Maybe it was too bitter to revisit? It's a shame because like Lucille Ball brought by Lucy for THE LUCY SHOW and HERE'S LUCY, Suzanne should have brought Chrissy back. </div><div><br /></div><div>Chrissy was an original and it took a real artist to create her.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's C.I.'s "<a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/10/iraq-snapshot_13.html">Iraq snapshot</a>:"</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

is targeted because she refuses to fall in line. The targeting isn't
working. You are seeing, in the large population, a generational
split. For decades in the US, the narrative has been the Israeli
government is good, wonderful and blessed. No, it's just another
government and it's just as capable as abuse as any other. In fact,
it's more capable. That government got away with <a href="https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v19/d284">assaulting a US military ship and killing Americans</a>. After you get that kind of pass, you probably think you can get away with anything.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Let's drop back to 1986, <a href="https://merip.org/1986/01/israeli-spies-in-the-us/">Jeff McConnell (MERIP) noted</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b> </b></div><div><b>November 21, 1985, was a remarkable day. FBI agents arrested a
civilian terrorism analyst working for the US Navy, Jonathan Jay
Pollard, outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, where he had gone
seeking political asylum. Six days later, Pollard was arraigned in
federal district court on several counts of espionage against the United
States as a paid agent for the government of Israel.</b></div><div><div class="entry-content">
<p><b> The Pollard affair took Washington and Tel Aviv by surprise. Wolf Blitzer, Washington correspondent for the <em>Jerusalem Post</em>,
in a book published just several weeks before Pollard’s arrest, wrote
that there is no real fear in the US government that American Jews are
leaking information to the Mossad, the Israeli equivalent of the CIA.
“Experienced US intelligence officials readily acknowledge that the
degree of cooperation between the CIA and the Mossad is already so close
that the two organizations do not really have to spy on each other.
Despite infractions on both sides,” Blitzer explained, “US and Israeli
intelligence organizations have maintained a discreet arrangement since
the 1950s, banning covert operations against each other.” <a href="https://merip.org/1986/01/israeli-spies-in-the-us/#_1_">[1] </a></b></p>
<p><b> Another reading of this record, though, shows that Pollard’s
activities fit a pattern of Israeli espionage efforts. As John Davitt, a
30-year veteran of the Justice Department who resigned in 1980, told
the <em>New York Times</em>: “When the Pollard case broke, the general
media and public perception was that this was the first time this had
ever happened. No, that’s not true at all. The Israeli intelligence
service, when I was in the Justice Department, was the second most
active in the United States, to the Soviets.” <a href="https://merip.org/1986/01/israeli-spies-in-the-us/#_2_">[2] </a></b></p>
<p><b> In 1978, two Congressional committees studied Washington’s posture
toward the activities of “friendly” intelligence services in the United
States. Both found that the FBI did not aggressively search out illegal
activities, as it did in the case of “hostile” intelligence services,
but only reacted to specific complaints; that information developed by
the FBI rarely reached Justice Department prosecutors; and that both the
CIA and the State Department discouraged penalties against “friendly”
services or their agents, in part out of concern for American personnel
abroad. <a href="https://merip.org/1986/01/israeli-spies-in-the-us/#_3_">[3]</a></b></p>
<p><b> What accounts for the willingness of the US government to prosecute
and to make a public issue of Israel’s espionage activities? Probably it
represents a combination of two factors: One is the Reagan
administration’s campaign to whip up public support for measures against
“security risks”; the other is the differences within the US national
security establishment, especially the military services, over Israel’s
role in US Middle East policy. Pollard is only the second American
citizen ever to be formally accused of passing classified information to
the Israeli government. Prior to Israel’s creation in 1948, a Zionist
underground existed in the US for the purpose of smuggling war materials
to Palestine, in violation of the Truman administration’s embargo on
such shipments. Although FBI investigations resulted in several
convictions, all but one of those convicted escaped going to prison. <a href="https://merip.org/1986/01/israeli-spies-in-the-us/#_4_">[4] </a></b></p>
<p><b> It was out of this underground that the Israeli intelligence network
in the United States originated. Operations were supervised by a
four-member board, consisting of an American citizen, two Israeli
diplomats and an Israeli troubleshooter who traveled frequently between
the two countries. The FBI reportedly learned of at least 12 incidents
in which American citizens passed classified information to the
Israelis, but there were no prosecutions. <a href="https://merip.org/1986/01/israeli-spies-in-the-us/#_5_">[5]</a></b></p>
<p><b> Besides those probed by the FBI, there were certainly others,
including high government officials, who were also helpful to the new
Jewish state. On October 29, 1948, Secretary of State George Marshall
telegrammed Washington from a United Nations meeting in Paris to
complain that the Israelis knew what President Truman’s instructions had
been on a key vote “almost as soon as [the Americans] had received the
relevant telegram.” Israeli delegate Abba Eban attributed his
delegation’s information to an “unimpeachable source.” These sources
apparently never came to the FBI’s attention. <a href="https://merip.org/1986/01/israeli-spies-in-the-us/#_6_">[6] </a></b></p></div></div><div><br /></div><div>The Israeli government is not a person, it is a governmental body and, like all governmental bodies, it can be used for abuse. </div><div><br /></div><div>But in the US a narrative -- a false narrative -- was pushed and pimped for decades. </div><div><br /></div><div>There's
a reason rallies take place around the world right now and there's a
reason, in the US, when a rally takes place there are threats made to
the students about future employment. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="css-1ys3e0l"><a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/10/12/doxxing-truck-students-israel-statement/">J. Sellers Hill and Nia L. Orakwue (THE HARVARD CRIMSON) report</a>:</span></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>A billboard truck drove through the streets surrounding

at least nine of the original 34 co-signing Harvard student groups as
of Thursday evening withdrew their signatures from the statement —
originally penned by the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity
Committee — that called Israel “entirely responsible” for the violence.
In a later statement, the PSC wrote that it “staunchly opposes” violence
against all civilians.</b></p><p><b>By Tuesday evening, <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/10/11/student-groups-withdraw-israel-statement/">at least four online sites</a>
had listed the personal information of students linked to clubs that
had signed onto the statement, including full names, class years, past
employment, social media profiles, photos, and hometowns.</b></p><p><b>As of Wednesday morning, at least two of those sites had been taken down for violating Google’s terms of service.</b></p><p><b>On
Wednesday, in the face of student safety concerns, some of the
statement’s harshest critics denounced acts of violence or intimidation
against the members of the statement’s signatories. Harvard Executive
Vice President Meredith L. Weenick ’90 also moved to criticize online
intimidation and harassment in a Wednesday evening email to University
affiliates following this article’s initial publication.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>They've lost control of the narrative.

truth tellers and activists worked for decades combatting it and the
young people in the US have grown up with less deceptions. equally
true, the US occupation of Iraq made a generation come of age with an
understanding of occupation. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Iraq War
(which is ongoing) is an important imprint on today's younger
generation. The war lies were being called out before it started. The
lies were fully exposed and this impacted the way narratives are now
seen and looked at. </div><div><br /></div><div>It doesn't help the
Palestinians or the Israelis who've been killed for decades in violence
but this day was always coming and now it's arrived.</div><div><br /></div><div>They can hector Rashida all they want and insult her, it doesn't really change things.</div><div><br /></div><div>Israel
will not survive as a nation-state if it continues down this road. And
that doesn't mean that tomorrow they stop attacking Gaza and it all
goes away. No, it will not survive unless it can stop oppressing the
Palestinians. The tipping point has been reached. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In 20 to 30 years, the youth today will be in Congress and a dominant segment of the Congress. </div><div><br /></div><div>There is no going back to the world of amnesia. </div><div><br /></div><div>This
is really is the time for Americans to step forward and say enough.
There's a moment when you either confront the self-denial or you accept
responsibility for the crimes. War Crimes, in fact, because it's the US
government that's not only providing cover for these illegal actions
but that is also providing the tools of destruction. <a href="https://inthesetimes.com/article/israel-gaza-palestine-apartheid-occupation-war-seige">Phyllis Bennis (IN THESE TIMES) points out</a>, "We can’t understand how we got here -- or how to end the crisis -- until
we grapple with the immensity of Palestinian suffering. And for us in
the United States, a big part of the equation means confronting the role
our government and tax dollars play in enabling that oppression
to continue."</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/10/13/roaming-charges-103/">Jeffery St. Clair (COUNTERPUNCH) notes</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>+ These frothing demands for collective punishment of a defenseless
population traduce every pretense of the West’s devotion to rules-based
warfare it has professed since the slaughter at the Somme.</b></p>
<p><b>+ Only Israel is allowed to act in “self-defense.” It is a term
reserved for the powerful, a shield against the daily acts of violence,
coercion, land theft, illegal detention and economic strangulation
imposed on a captive population, whose own self-defense is termed
“terrorism” and thus becomes yet another justification for inflicting
more overwhelming state violence–what any rational person would call
“terrorism”–on impoverished and largely defenseless people.</b></p>
<p><b>+ The obvious parallel to Gaza is the Tet Offensive, which was a
defeat for the Vietnamese, but it was the defeat that won the war,
exposing the vincibility of the US military machine. It also triggered
something deep in the psyche of the American occupiers, who responded
with attacks of pointless savagery. The massacres and gang rapes at My
Lai were a direct response to Tet.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Netanyahu
has vowed that Israel’s response will be equally sadistic, which is, of
course, a sign of its own weakness–moral and military–and a harbinger
of its ruin.</b></p>
<p><b>+ All of the “security raids” and airstrikes Israel has conducted
almost non-stop for the last few years have done nothing to make Israel
more “secure.” Based on yesterday’s “surprise” counter-attack, they’ve
done just the opposite. That’s because the raids were never about
“security.” They were motivated by territorial expansion and the need to
tighten Israel’s control over an occupied population– illegal
incursions that would be resisted by any besieged society.</b></p>
<p><b>+ When the Israeli generals talk of leveling Gaza, keep in mind what
that means. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas on earth,
with 5,500 people squeezed into each square kilometer with no exits.
More than 10 times the average population density of Israel.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></p>
<p><b>+ The reports were horrific and they ignited the internet for three
days: Hamas had killed and beheaded 40 babies in the village of Kfar
Aza. It’s the kind of story that would make the most devout Quaker want
to pick up a rocket launcher. But did it happen? Even Biden fell for (or
exploited for his own purposes), the ghoulish reports: “I never really
thought that I would see…have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading
children.” The White House had to walk this claim back hours later,
admitting that U.S. officials and the president have <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/12/white-house-walks-back-bidens-claim-he-saw-children-beheaded-by-hamas">not seen pictures</a> or confirmed such reports independently.

<p><b>Four days later, the IDF, whose soldiers retook the village and
recovered the bodies of its slain inhabitants, still refused to confirm
the account, which originated with Israel’s i24 News, a network with
close ties to the Netanyahu family. One of the primary sources for the
story appears to have been a militant Israeli settler leader named <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2023/10/there-is-no-proof-palestinian-fighters-beheaded-babies-the-only-source-is-a-radical-settler/">David Ben Zion</a>,
who has a history of making calls for mass violence against
Palestinians. There are plenty of precedents for this type of story,
perhaps none more glaring than the allegation that Iraq forces had
killed hundreds of Kuwaiti babies by throwing them out of their
incubators leaving them to die on hospital floors, a claim used to
justify the Gulf War. It didn’t take much digging to expose the
heart-wrenching story as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1992/01/06/opinion/remember-nayirah-witness-for-kuwait.html">a fraud</a>, part of a propaganda campaign run by the Hill and Knowlton PR firm and financed by the government of Kuwait.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></p>
<p><b>+ All wars breed atrocities and Hamas’ attacks have certainly been no
exception to that rule. There are atrocities we are meant to see and
atrocities we aren’t. Atrocities which are treated as war crimes are
almost invariably committed by the losing or weaker side. Thus the
current spectacle at Gitmo, where the torturers are sitting in judgment
of the tortured. Though many questions remain, the slaughter at the rave
in the Negev is criminal by any standard. But so were the US dronings
of wedding parties in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, by a military
armed with the most sophisticated intelligence technology and precision
weaponry. One is treated as an obscene crime, the other as a regrettable
accident, though one which happened routinely.</b></p>

down houses and cause egregious harm to civilians.”</b></p><p><b>On October 11, Human Rights Watch interviewed by phone two people
from the al-Mina area in Gaza City, who described observing strikes
consistent with the use of white phosphorus. One was in the street at
the time, while the other was in a nearby office building. Both
described ongoing airstrikes before seeing explosions in the sky
followed by what they described as white lines going earthward. They
estimated that the attack took place sometime between 11:30 a.m. and 1
p.m. Both said that the smell was stifling. The person who was in his
office said that the smell was so strong that he went toward the window
to see what was happening and then filmed the strike.</b></p><p><b>Human Rights Watch reviewed the video and verified that it was taken
in Gaza City’s port and identified that the munitions used in the strike
were airburst 155mm white phosphorus artillery projectiles. Other

the same location. Dense white smoke and a garlic smell are
characteristics of white phosphorus.</b></p><p><b>Human Rights Watch also <a href="https://x.com/alishoeib1970/status/1711770617123393549?s=46&t=uKvQOStGFAjklLramFKe8w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reviewed</a> <a href="https://x.com/alarabytv/status/1711771129356935451?s=46&t=uKvQOStGFAjklLramFKe8w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">two</a>

continues to burn until it is deprived of oxygen or exhausted. Its
chemical reaction can create intense heat (about 815°C/1,500°F), light,

chemically, down to the bone as it is highly soluble in fat and
therefore in human flesh. White phosphorus fragments can exacerbate
wounds even after treatment and can enter the bloodstream and cause
multiple organ failure. Already dressed wounds can reignite when
dressings are removed and the wounds are re-exposed to oxygen. Even
relatively minor burns are often fatal. For survivors, extensive
scarring tightens muscle tissue and creates physical disabilities. The
trauma of the attack, the painful treatment that follows, and
appearance-changing scars lead to psychological harm and social
exclusion.</b></p><p><b>The use of white phosphorus in densely populated areas of Gaza
violates the requirement under international humanitarian law to take
all feasible precautions to avoid civilian injury and loss of life,
Human Rights Watch said. This concern is amplified given the technique
evidenced in videos of airbursting white phosphorus projectiles.
Airbursting of white phosphorus projectiles spreads 116 burning felt
wedges impregnated within the substance over an area between 125 and 250
meters in diameter, depending on the altitude of the burst, thereby
exposing more civilians and civilian structures to potential harm than a
localized ground burst.</b></p><p><b>Israeli authorities have not commented on whether or not they used white phosphorus during the ongoing fighting.</b></p><p><b>Israel’s use of white phosphorus comes amid hostilities following Hamas’ <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/10/10/hamas-led-attack-southern-israel-kills-hundreds">deadly attacks</a>

noted that Netanyahu was quoted telling Likud Party members in 2018
about his stance on Gaza, summarizing his quote saying “those who oppose
a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to
Gaza”—meaning to Gaza’s Hamas-led government—as doing so maintains the
“separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas
in Gaza,” thus dividing and conquering the Palestinians once and for
all.</b></p>

something was being planned. The above ToI report quoted Assaf Pozilov,
a reporter for the Israeli public broadcasting outlet Kan,
saying before the attack, “The Islamic Jihad organization has started a
noisy exercise very close to the border, in which they practiced

of Israeli foreign and security affairs.” It also pointed the finger at
his right-wing policies on settlement expansion and allies with
far-right extremist parties. “As expected, signs of an outbreak of
hostilities began in the West Bank, where Palestinians started feeling
the heavier hand of the Israeli occupier,” the editorial said, noting

<p><b>Welcome to <em>Democracy Now!</em>, Amjad. Thank you so much for
joining us. If you could explain why you think this invasion is
different from the past, the 7th October one, and what psychological
barrier has been broken?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMJAD</span> <span class="caps">IRAQI</span>: Thank you all for having me.</b></p>
<p><b>I think there’s no doubt that in many respects what we’ve been
witnessing over the past couple of days is what is being described as a
game changer. And there are two ways to kind of think about this. One is
this kind of material and military shift that has just occurred by the
fact that Hamas broke out of the Gaza Strip, a besieged enclave, both in
terms of targeting the military infrastructure, but also the massacres
that happened in these Israeli southern towns, that has really not only
kind of broken this assumption of Gaza as this place that could maintain
Palestinians and encage Hamas, but has really shaken the psychological
barrier that exists in Israeli society and the Israeli establishment
that the occupation is somehow sustainable, and that if they just keep
enforcing the institutions of apartheid, that if they keep pounding
Hamas and the Gaza Strip as often as possible, that somehow that is
actually going to bring them security, that is going to bring safety,
and through that, they can then continue to claim that Israel is a
democracy, that Israel is a safe place for the Jewish people. And what
we’ve witnessed with these atrocities that have happened is a complete
shattering of that. It has broken to Israeli society that the
Palestinians are not some distant problem, and that they cannot keep
having the boot of their military apparatus upon them.</b></p>
<p><b>Unfortunately, as Michael was referring to earlier, I’m not sure how
much this will have a lot of soul-searching and reflection, as right now
we are seeing this complete desire to inflict total revenge on the Gaza
Strip, from the political establishment to the media, all the way down.
But I think that barrier that existed in the minds of Israeli society
and the Israeli state that this system could work, I think, has really
been broken by this assault.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: You write, Amjad, in your <em>+972</em> <a href="https://www.972mag.com/hamas-october-attack-gaza-barrier/">piece</a>
that these events will allow the most extremist elements within
Netanyahu’s far-right administration to carry out as much of their
agenda as possible. Can you respond, in particular, to what the finance
minister, Bezalel Smotrich, and the national security minister, Itamar
Ben-Gvir, convicted of supporting a terrorist organization and inciting
hatred against Palestinians — what they want to happen now, and if you
think that will become the dominant actions of the Netanyahu government,
the war government, as they’re calling it right now, bringing in others
into the government, as well, at this point?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMJAD</span> <span class="caps">IRAQI</span>:
So, it’s no secret that the Israeli government now is really primarily
being led by a gang of far-right demagogues, who have been very explicit
for years, even before they arrived in office, about their ambitions
for the Palestinians as a whole. And we’re seeing that being put out in
full force over the past few months since the government has been in
place, through the enabling and almost overt support of settler pogroms
against West Bank towns and villages, and what is now eventually leading
to the total expulsion of numerous Palestinian hamlets and people in
order to make way for even more settler outposts and to even pave the
way for more assertion of what they describe as Israeli sovereignty.
We’ve been seeing this really being expedited in full force.</b></p>
<p><b>And now for the far-right government, this massacre, as atrocious as
it is, is for them a historic opportunity. It is, for them, reinforcing
this idea that the only solution to what they regard as “the Gaza
problem” is either the complete mass destruction of the Strip or to try
to eliminate, rather than merely contain, Hamas’s political and military
apparatus, and, if possible — and this is really one of the most
horrific potentials — is the potential that this moment could be used to
try to expel masses of Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip. The
far-right ministers are very explicit about this ambition, and they
really are trying to mobilize Israeli institutions in order to implement
that process. And while we’re still in the throes of the storm, we’re
already seeing that first demand on their wish list being implemented in
a way that our Palestinian colleagues from Gaza were just describing.</b></p>
<p><b>And there’s a massive mutual interest, not just on the part of the
far-right politicians, but also the Israeli military, which has been
really humiliated by this massive breach of the Gaza fences by Hamas,
completely subverting its intelligence or its appearance of being able
to know at all times what Hamas is doing. Because of this shattering,
the Israeli military also, arguably, is in line with the political
establishment over what to do with this.</b></p>
<p><b>And time will tell where this leads, but we’re already seeing this
indulgence of revenge, not just from the Israeli institutions
themselves, but also the international community, including the United
States, which is basically telling Israel to go ahead, and to actually
justify that revenge and removing the political context, without
necessarily having to excuse the massacres — which they should not — but
to nonetheless realize that there is no military solution to this
issue, and the real problem in the end is this wider apartheid regime
that is activating even when you don’t have a war around Gaza, that is
activating even on your, quote-unquote, “calm.” And this is the bigger
issue that needs to be addressed.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">NERMEEN</span> <span class="caps">SHAIKH</span>:
And, Amjad, we just have a minute, but if you could say — you know,
everybody says, as you said, this was unprecedented that Hamas broke
through this barrier. People say, you know, they’ve been planning this
attack for a long time. What statement have they made since this
military assault on Gaza began? And what do you know of what they’re
doing with the hostages and whether they’re willing to release them in
exchange for Gaza getting some basic resources?</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMJAD</span> <span class="caps">IRAQI</span>:
It’s quite hard to say what the endgame is entirely. In many ways, the
assault also probably surprised them as much as it did the Israelis. And
right now I think they’re trying to — it seems like they’re trying to
figure out what kind of bargaining chips they have in order to gain
certain new kinds of agreements with the Israeli authorities, with the
aid potentially of Arab states to try to mediate some kind of ceasefire,
that helps to meet certain Hamas demands.</b></p>
<p><b>And they’ve been quite explicit about some of the things that they’re
seeking, which are long-standing issues that have existed even before
this far-right government, including the issue of release of Palestinian
prisoners, including provocations and aggressions around Jerusalem,
especially around the holy sites, and also, of course, what’s been
happening in the West Bank under the Israeli occupation and settler
violence. So, these are kind of the big structural demands that are
still at play, and it seems that Hamas is now trying to use tactically,
basically, what they have right now to kind of turn the tables. But
because we’re still —</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMY</span> <span class="caps">GOODMAN</span>: We have five seconds.</b></p>
<p><b><span class="caps">AMJAD</span> <span class="caps">IRAQI</span>: — in the eye of the storm, because we’re still seeing the mists of this, it’s very hard to know where this is leading.</b></p>

too. The directors had strong things to say about his performance that
further conflicted with statements made by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO
David Zaslav and DC Studios CEO Peter Safran on why the DC film that
included more of Michael Keaton's Batman was canceled.</b></p> <p class="continue-read-break" data-t="{"n":"blueLinks"}"><b>Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly canceled <em>Batgirl</em>
because of a tax write-off, an unprecedented incident following the
completion of its principal photography, even for WB. Safran and Zaslav
later expressed <em>Batgirl</em> as “un-releasable” and not on par with the quality expected from <a data-t="{"n":"destination","t":13,"b":1,"c.t":7}" href="https://gamerant.com/tag/dc/?utm_source=syndication" target="_blank">DC</a>. <a data-t="{"n":"destination","t":13,"b":1,"c.t":7}" href="https://gamerant.com/leslie-grace-batgirl-cancelled-reason-reaction/?utm_source=syndication" target="_blank">Leslie Grace responded to the studio executives' <em>Batgirl</em> comments</a>, disagreeing that the film's cancelation had anything to do with its quality. Now, <em>Batgirl</em>
directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah add fuel to the fire while
discussing Fraser's excellent performance in the shelved HBO Max
original film that, like <em>Blue Beetle</em>, would have starred a Latinx actor in the main role.</b></p></div><div><b>During an interview with Yahoo, El Arbi said Fraser gave an
“Oscar-worthy” performance in a movie the directors describe as having a
tone that “was really a blend between Nolan and Burton,” with practical
sets and miniatures instead of CGI. "Gotham City was a more realistic
world, and the story was very straightforward and emotional. It was more
of an actor's movie without a lot of visual effects,” El Abri said.
From <a data-t="{"n":"destination","t":13,"b":1,"c.t":7}" href="https://gamerant.com/brendan-fraser-firefly-batgirl-details/?utm_source=syndication" target="_blank">what Fraser has stated about Firefly in<em> Batgirl</em></a>,
the character’s story would have been a sympathetic tale hitting home
for audiences, as Firefly was a veteran driven to crime from a lack of
benefits, which presumably allowed the actor to pull from aspects in the
real world to influence his performance.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>A Batgirl movie is something that people like me have waited years and years for. I grew up drawing Batgirl. I watched the TV show in the mornings before I was old enough to go to school. I loved the Batgirl episodes best and I loved that opening where she's on the motorcycle in the credits. I'd try to draw it just like on TV. I can remember the first time I drew her and Robin and my grandmother being blown away. All the grandkids liked to draw but even the ones who were six or so were drawing stick figures. I never drew stick figures. I'd probably be better today if I had. But I drew them and she was blown away and put it up on the fridge and that just encouraged me to draw more and more.</div><div><br /></div><div>I nailed the costumes in that drawing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Why? </div><div><br />Probably because I was breast-obsessed as I've noted before. Batgirl and Wonder Woman were characters I used to draw constantly. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't care for Batman that much -- in the comic but especially in the TV show. I liked Robin and when Batgirl came on the show (third season), I thought that it was the best it ever was. Loved all those episodes -- especially the ones set in London and any one with Catwoman played by Eartha Kitt. </div><div><br /></div><div>Season three had so many great villains: Catwoman, The Siren (Joan Collins), King Tut, Egghead, The Joker, Louie the Lilac, The Penguin . . . </div><div><br /></div><div>And I thought Batgirl's lair was so much cooler than the Batcave.</div><div><br /></div><div>She had an apartment. She goes into the bedroom and like the dressing table unveils for her costume and mask and then we see her coming out of the building as part of the outside wall comes down to make a ramp for her motorcycle. And I loved the motorcycle more than the Batmobile. We had a mini-bike at our grandparents that we all had to share and I could relate to the motorcycle more than a car. </div><div><br /></div><div>WARNER BROS should have released the movie. This will be a sore spot for a lot of us that will only get worse each year.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Let me note one more thing on movies, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/spike-lee-wishes-oppenheimer-included-some-more-minutes-about-what-happened-to-the-japanese-people/ar-AA1hQINK">INDIE WIRE reports</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" turned the tortured life of J.

The artistic choice polarized many cinephiles - including Spike Lee.</b></div><div><p data-t="{"n":"blueLinks"}"><b>In a new interview with the <a data-t="{"n":"destination","t":13,"b":1,"c.t":7}" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/movies/2023/10/05/spike-lee-brooklyn-museum-colin-kaepernick/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Washington Post</a>, Lee heaped praise on Nolan but said that he would have liked to see the film place more emphasis on the Japanese people.</b></p> <p data-t="{"n":"blueLinks"}"><b>"And
Chris Nolan with ‘Oppenheimer,' you know, he's a massive filmmaker.
Great film. I showed [‘Dunkirk'] in my class. And this is not a
criticism. It's a comment. How long was [‘Oppenheimer']? If it's three
hours, I would like to add some more minutes about what happened to the
Japanese people," Lee said. "People got vaporized. Many years later,
people are radioactive. It's not like he didn't have power. He tells
studios what to do. I would have loved to have the end of the film maybe
show what it did, dropping those two nuclear bombs on Japan."</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>Agreed. I've got a comic going up later today at THE COMMON ILLS, by the way.

ADF lawyers signed off on incorporation documents and drafted policy
frameworks for several new companies, which in turn were used as
justification to bring lawsuits challenging local nondiscrimination

moved to Florida, leading city attorneys to ask to have the case thrown

experiencing bullying, harassment, discrimination, or rejection at

been a lot of attempts to try to deny the existence and the basic
humanness of LGBTQ individuals. What schools have done, and districts
that have tried to put policies in place, is that they don't even
acknowledge that LGBTQ youth exist. I think that the bills that the
governor signed [last] weekend really say that there are basic human
rights that are afforded to all young people and that your sexual
orientation or gender identity should not determine your right to exist.
You should be able to be yourself, you should feel supported, and you
should be able to access the academic and social curriculum that your
peers do.</b></span></p><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Pompei:My
wish is that we wouldn't need legislation to protect the human and
civil rights of another human being. Unfortunately, because of bias and
stigma and misinformation, we have to pass policies that provide further
protection to prevent harm, but also to send a message to vulnerable
populations — in this case, LGBTQ young people — that even in light of
these attacks that they're experiencing, the state of California and
their government have their back. They are listening to the voices of
LGBTQ young people, to the research about what these students need in
order to learn, in order to engage in their education, and in order to
thrive in school and beyond. Part of me wishes that this was not
necessary; that we were just decent human beings and said, 'Hey, you
know, everyone's treated with dignity and respect.' That's,
unfortunately, not the world that we live in today.</b></span></p><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Any
time I hear a school board passing anti-LGBTQ policies or proposing
anti-LGBTQ policies, they're never discussing the disparities that we
continue to see, and the data as it relates to LGBTQ students compared
to their non-LGBTQ peers. That relates to feeling connected, feeling
safe, feeling cared for, experiencing mental health challenges, and even
suicide. They're passing policies without talking about what the school
district is going to do to address them. From the <a class="yiv9232499105ydpc244f5cdyiv8423121718" href="https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/at/chks.asp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Healthy Kids Survey</a>,
the latest public data that they have available on their dashboard for
San Diego County, shows that 68 percent of LGB students and 79 percent
of trans students indicated chronic sadness or hopelessness in the past
year, compared to 25 percent of straight students and 30 percent of
cisgender students. Forty-four percent of LGB students and 57 percent of
trans students in our county seriously considered attempting suicide in
the past year, compared to 9 percent of straight students and 12
percent of cisgender students. So, it's troubling to me that we're
passing policies rooted in transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, rather
than actually looking at what the research says about what will help all
students, including LGBTQ students, learn and engage and thrive in
school. It's hard to answer that question without painting a larger
picture, but I can say that yes, I'm excited, I'm celebrating, but I'm
also sad that we have to pass laws to protect students from our elected
officials who have made an oath to serve all children in public school.

wasn't running with The People's Party.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">He -- and his liars -- began promoting him as the Green Party's presidential candidate.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">They
were lying. And they knew it because when this nonsense started, the
Green Party -- nationally -- got more complaints than they've ever
gotten as members reached out to say not just "no" but "Hell NO!" to
Cornel being gifted with the nomination. Jill Stein and Chris Hedges
thought they could strong arm the party into gifting the nomination to
Cornel. Green Party members pointed out to leadership that the bylaws
were in place and had to be followed: No one was handed the nomination,
they had to compete for it and it would be decided at the 2024 summer
party convention and not until then.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">And
by attempting to steal the nomination -- that's what Cornel and his
supporters were trying to do -- he had so ticked off the rank-and-file
that there was little chance he'd be getting the nomination a year from
now. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Again, the numbers didn't add up.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Greens
were furious that yet another non-Green was trying to steal their
party's nomination and step ahead of actual Green Party members running
for the nomination.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">That is not democracy.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">As
late as last week (see Marcia's ""), Cornel was still misrepresenting
(and the press allowing him to do so) as the Green Party's presidential
nominee.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">No.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Yesterday, Cornel did what has been the hallmark of his brief political career so far: Abandoned ship.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Someone
who is so politically stupid that they take the nomination of The
People's Party only to reject it a week later is someone that's not fit
to run for the presidency. You do the due diligence and research before
you announce you're running on a party's ticket. Not after. That's
insane and it marked Cornel as a joke from the start of his political
career.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">That really should have been the end of it.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">That's a disgrace.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">If it had been Donald Trump or Joe Biden, people would have been loudly mocking the candidate.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">And they should have.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">70 years old and you don't know enough to check out a political party before accepting their presidential nomination?</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">It's
also disgraceful to go around claiming your another party's nominee
when, in fact, you're just a candidate for their nomination. But it
sure did get you a lot of media time, didn't it? Further pissing off
the Green Party rank-and-file who pointed out that this was him using
the party to get press attention and that this was at the expense of the
other two declared candidates for the nomination.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Cornel finally did the math.</div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div dir="ltr"><a class="yiv9232499105ydpc244f5cdyiv8423121718" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/cornel-west-slams-biden-trump-and-runs-as-2024-independent/ar-AA1hK8FV?cvid=f58ee63b1b3e4601cabecd2742f3dcff&ei=15" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ken Thomas (THE WALL STREET JOURNAL) reports</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr"><div><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><b>West
said Thursday he would seek the presidency as an independent candidate,
choosing to forgo a run with the Green Party. The decision complicates
his ability to get on the ballot—if he had won the Green nomination, it
would have ensured ballot access in nearly 20 states with the potential
for close to all 50 states. </b></p><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><b>West
dismisses talk that he could serve as a spoiler in the race and says he
is in the campaign with a message tailored to disaffected voters. And
even though he has raised minimal funds, Democrats are fretting about
him for two reasons: he has the ability to appeal to elements of the
Democratic Party that are central to President Biden’s re-election
campaign. And in an election that may again be decided by thousands of
votes in a handful of states, every vote for West could aid the public
intellectual’s larger target: Donald Trump.</b></p></div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>[. . .]</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b><span face="UI sans-serif" style="color: #2b2b2b;">Rep.

is a time for seriousness and not a time for individuals looking for
publicity.”</span><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Now let's note another thing about the numbers, it's over. There's no reason to waste time on Cornel and his 'campaign.' </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">He's
not going to win -- the numbers. He's an independent candidate who
owes a half million dollars to the US government. He is not H. Ross
Perot. He will not be able to mount a ballot access campaign. He may
still have the endorsement of the Socialist Alternative Party but they
don't have ballot access in federal elections. The Libertarian Party
isn't going to take him. No Labels isn't going to take him. He's left
without ballot access. It's time to move on and focus on real
candidates -- and that can be candidates who are running to build a

entered the race with promise and hope and then opened his mouth and
lost Democrat support. Again, the numbers told the story there and we
were noting -- before most polls came out backing up our observations --
that Junior had turned off Democrats. That was due to his homophobia
and transphobia, that was due to his efforts to end abortion (which he
later backtracked on). That was due to one too many crazy statements.
That was due to racism that went far beyond his claims that certain
groups were exempt from COVID (due to biological engineering
supposedly). That was due to his outlandish claim that big business
could be trusted to address climate change. That was due to his getting
in bed with Moms For Bigotry (and only stepping back when it was made
clear that would be the final nail in the coffin that was becoming his
wife's career thanks to his stupidity, racism, sexism, homophobia,
transphobia, et al).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The campaign sent out a mailing on Wednesday at 5:31 pm EST:</span></div></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div dir="ltr"><b><span face="Helvetica, Arial, Calibri, sans-serif">Thank

disabled the link on "Donate today" because I find that sentence
disgusting. "Put a Kennedy back in the White House"? He has nothing to
run on but that his uncle was President. And even after his uncle's
grandson has called him out -- and his uncle's daughter Caroline has
made it clear that she agrees with her son -- he's trying to use his
uncle to get to the White House.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">That's really tacky. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">At
any rate, he's expected to announce he's leaving the Democratic Party.
He'll paint is as freedom move and argue that's why he's making the
announcement in Philadelphia. He can stand in front of The Liberty Bell
while Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom" blasts over the p.a. system

Friday, September 29, 2023. More on Wednesday night's debate, a new
candidate has entered the presidential race and we'll provide the
detailed biography, Ronald DeSantis continues his war on freedom,
democracy and humanity, a woman doesn't seem to grasp that the US
doesn't need to help her and that her insults don't make want to help
her, and much more.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm really sick of
people who can't handle their own problems. I'm referring to one ____
in particular who is working my last damn nerve. Emma Tsurkov.</div><div><br /></div><div>Her
sister may or may not be a spy. Her sister is the stupid woman who
went to Iraq -- despite being Israelie -- to 'research' terrorism. Now
her sister is a citizen of Israel. And she's a citizen of Russia. Yet
for some reason the ___'s family can't get it through their damn heads
that a kidnapping in Iraq of a non-US citizen, isn't this country's
problem. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Last week, ahead of
the face to face Iraq's Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani was to
have with US President Joe Biden -- a fleeting moment -- Emma and her
crowd got to Shady Senator Robert Menendez and had him insisting that
the matter be addressed between the two leaders -- an outrageous
demand. There would be time to address one or two issues -- and address
just means brought up, not really discussed. There is an Australian

didn't go to Iraq to spy and he didn't go traipsing in like some stupid
bimbo who fancied herself Kim Aldrich in some children's book
adventure. He didn't invite what happened to him. But an idiot who
goes to Iraq when they know how hostile that country is to Israelis and
to Jews -- they ran all but three of them out of Baghdad -- yes, the
five Iraqis left in Iraq after 2010 is now supposed to have been reduced
to three -- an idiot who chooses to go knowing she is at risk and, on
top of that, wants to nose around in terrorism -- for a college paper!
-- is really not a US issue.</div><div><br /></div><div>But her stupid sister can't stop trying to drum up support for her. All she's doing is turning off people in the US.</div><div><br /></div><div>Emma
Tsurkov has now gone whining to THE DAILY BEAST -- we're not linking to
the garbage article. This is from the sister's garbage:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>“Princeton has been one of the most infuriating institutions or
organizations to deal with throughout the process,” said Emma, who has
been engaging with American lawmakers, the U.S. State Department,
Israeli officials, and several other advocacy groups on the case. “I’m
feeling that it’s being treated as a PR problem that needs to be
handled, rather than a life or death matter for its graduate student.”</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Someone
let the stupid idiot know that Princeton's done more than it had to.
Campus safety officers patrol the campus, they don't go to other
countries and Princeton has no military force to deploy.</div><div><br /></div><div>One
of their students kidnapped? I know they've expressed their concern
and I know that they've tried to get attention for the student's
plight. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>They've done more than they had to and they continue attempts to drum up support for the kidnapped victim. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's just not there. And it won't be. You're pushing in the wrong country, you pushy stooge.</div><div><br /></div><div>You
need to stick with the "Israeli officials" and you need to pick up some
Russian officials -- because that's what you are, citizens of Israel
and Russia. Your plight is not our problem. The stupidity of your
sister (if she's not a spy as the group holding her believes she is) is
not our problem.</div><div><br /></div><div>And if Joe Biden were to spend
time on one of the two issues -- the plight of Robert Pether matters a
lot more. We know what he is -- a working father of many children. We
know why he really went to Iraq -- it was part of his job. We know his
location and we know how he ended up (wrongly) imprisoned.</div><div><br /></div><div>By
contrast, Emma, you and your sister are the portraits of privilege and
you make that clear with each day as you become ruder and ruder while
supposedly 'asking' for help. Now you're attacking Princeton?</div><div><br /></div><div>Go
work with your own governments to free your sister. She's not an
American citizen. You've given one interview after another attacking
American officials and now Princeton. Clearly, nothing the US could do
would ever meet your approval so take your problem back to your own
countries. Again, countries. You and your sister have dual citizenship
so take it up with the governments of Russia and the governments of
Israel. Unless you just enjoy making a spectacle of yourself.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Let's move on to a different topic. What the hell has happened to WSWS?</div><div><br /></div><div>There's
really no excuse in the 21st century for them not being able to post
about a debate the night of the debate. From approximately 9:00 pm EST
to one in the morning EST, their new content goes up. So Wednesday
night's debate really should have been covered Wednesday night to early
Thursday morning. That did not happen and I'm not surprised. But that
they didn't cover the debate in the articles they posted last night does
surprise me. The candidates attacked labor repeatedly while pretending
otherwise. It's really something when, for example, Tim Scott feels
the need to dog whistle ("right to work"). Why don't you just say what
you mean, speak to everyone on the same page? It's a public debate.
"Right to work" is not about any individual's right to have a job. </div><div><br /></div><div>"Right to work" is about killing unions and their memberships.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Apparently, that's not a pressing issue to WSWS. </div><div><br /></div><div>At any rate, <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/09/29/roaming-charges-102/">Jeffrey St. Clair (COUNTERPUNCH) shares</a> his thoughts on the debate:</div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>The Republican “debate” at the Reagan Library seemed like an exercise in

contacted his campaign asking if he intended to outlaw gender-affirming
care for all people, regardless of age. His campaign hadn’t responded
by the time of publication.</b></p>
<p><b>While Pence’s comment also mentioned “protecting” kids from
“radical gender ideology,” his response caught the attention of
Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and clinical instructor at
the Harvard Law School Cyberlaw Clinic. Caraballo posted a video of
Pence’s comment on Wednesday night and <a data-wpel-link="external" href="https://twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/1707232953275728208" rel="external noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wrote via Twitter</a>, “They’re going to ban care for trans adults too.

“including: defining ‘minor’ to include at least some adults; by banning
state funds from covering this medical care (e.g., in Medicaid, state

allowing private insurers to refuse to cover this care; and more.”</b></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/gop-debate-reagan-library/">Sasha Abramsky (THE NATION) notes</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><p><b>Most of the time, GIF-like zingers aside, the debate was really just an exercise in click-bait extremism. <em>Why were college students burdened by so much debt?</em> Well, DeSantis opined, partly because so many colleges were teaching gender studies to their captive students. <em>Why were Americans feeling so much economic pain? </em>Well,
said Ramaswamy, in addition to Bidenomics, there was the problem that
“the Federal Reserve is an agency that has gone rogue.” <em>Did the candidates agree with Florida’s new education guidelines, championed by DeSantis, for how to teach about slavery?</em>
No, said Scott, it was wrong to minimize the atrocities of slavery.
But, he continued, perhaps suddenly aware that he had come off as too
moderate for the GOP crowd, Black families did indeed survive slavery
only to be destroyed a century later by LBJ’s Great Society and its
expansion of family-destroying welfare programs. Ramaswamy came up with a
novel interpretation of constitutional law that would allow him to
instantly end birthright citizenship. Pence advocated a massive increase
in use of the federal death penalty.</b></p>
<p><b>The candidates were quick to spout nonsense on one issue after the
next. Yet on the elephant in the room, most of them had nothing to say:
There was a deafening silence on Trump’s myriad malfeasances, such a
silence that it was hard to take anything they said about the importance
of the rule of law seriously.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/gop-debate-deeply-embarrassing">At COMMON DREAMS, Max Burns concludes</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Yesterday’s debate showcased a Republican Party consumed by anger: anger

Voters looking for a positive conservative vision of the future should
look elsewhere. This GOP is fixated not on building a better future but
on settling scores both foreign and domestic without concern for the
long-term consequences. The American people must reject a Republican

THE THREE MUSKETEERS and THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO were written by Alexandre Dumas. The Catholic Church banned THE THREE MUSKETEERS but despite that it as been a popular novel for centuries and turned into multiple films. Dumas was a Black Frenchman. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Next up is LION MAN -- first comic about a Black superhero created by Black artists -- African-American at that. The book fails to note any of the people though. Orrin C. Evans is the creator. And that should be in this book, especially since the author also wrote LION MAN: THE FIRST AND GREATEST BLACK SUPERHERO.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Lion Man appeared in the 1947 issue of ALL NEGRO COMICS as a tall Black man wearing a thick red and gold headband and loincloth. This disguise allowed Lion Man to pass for an African Tribesman. In actuality, Lion Man was a college educated scientist given a mission from the United Nations. </b></div><div><b>Lion Man's goal was to protect Magic Mountain in Africa. The mountain must be protected because it abounds in treasures including uranium that some war-lvoing nation might use to build an atomic bomb. </b></div><div><b>Lion Man was equipped with things to aid him in his assignment. He had his own hidden laboratory with high tech equipment including a drone to spot approaching bad guys. Lion Man also had great strength and fighting skills.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Net up, you have Ace Harlem -- also ALL NEGRO COMICS -- a detective whose first story was written by John Terrel. From the book:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Ace Harlem was created because those at ALL NEGRO COMICS wished to honor 1940's Black police officers. Additionally, African-American readers would be pleased to see in the comic book, just as they were pleased to see in real life, diversity in the police department.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Matt Baker was the first African-American artist to work in mainstream comics and his illustrations included SHEENA JUNGLE QUEEN and JUNGLE COMICS. </div><div><br /></div><div>Along with comic books, there were comic strips in the newspapers. From the book:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Newspaper comic strips, cartoons and children's books have a long history of containing racist images. </b></div><div><b>The Slumberland savages in LITTLE NEMO have huge eyes, huge white lips and are cannibals. Extremely racist cartoons were made by the major movie studios in the 1930's, 40's and 50's. Children's books by Dr. Suess and others contained horrific images and slurs of Africans, Asians and others.</b></div><div><b>Some Black organizations protested these images, and some Blacks later created strips with realistically drawn Black characters. </b></div><div><b>The year 1965 saw a big change in comic strips. In that year, Black cartoonist Morrie Turner created the syndicated strip WEE PALS or KID POWER.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>You learn that Black Panther first appeared in a July 1966 issue of THE FANTASTIC FOUR.</div><div><br /></div><div>Demetrius Sherman's BLACK COMIC BOOK HISTORY is a brief book and you can read it in about ten minutes and you can read it for free if you have KINDLE UNLIMITED with AMAZON. It's probably geared for a younger audience but it's a basic we can all benefit from. </div><div><br /></div><div>And I see an e-mail from Judy asking me to note this video about comic books from BEYOND WEDNESDAYS.</div><div><br /></div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4yBFVxRQrcw?si=kiFrosd92TqvHna0" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Here's C.I.'s "<a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/09/iraq-snapshot_0352196787.html">Iraq snapshot</a>:"</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani came to the United States this
week to address the United Nations' General Assembly. He's also met
with numerous politicians and world leaders as well as business leaders
and journalists. Late yesterday, the White House issued the following
statement:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b> </b></div><div><section class="body-content">

<div class="row">
<p><b>Deputy Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the
Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk and Deputy Assistant and
Senior Advisor to the President for Energy and Investment Amos
Hochstein met last night with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani of
Iraq to confirm the strong U.S. partnership with Iraq as outlined in the
Strategic Framework Agreement between the two countries. The United
States took special note of Prime Minister Sudani’s leadership moving
Iraq’s policy towards strengthening its own energy security, including
with electricity grid connections to Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia,
as well as major energy deals with western firms to capture flared gas
in southern Iraq for domestic use and future export. Hochstein and
McGurk also welcomed recent agreements between the Government of Iraq
and the Kurdistan Regional Government regarding monthly budget
allocations, and emphasized the urgency of reopening the Iraq-Turkiye
Pipeline as soon as possible. On regional matters, McGurk pledged full
U.S. support to help finally resolve outstanding maritime boundary
issues with Kuwait, particularly in relation to UNSCR 833. Sudani
welcomed this support, and reaffirmed Iraq’s longstanding and clear
policy recognizing Kuwait’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, all
prior bilateral agreements between the two friendly countries, and
adherence to international law, including UN Security Council
Resolutions.</b></p>

roles." </b></p> <p><b>Murdoch's career has been marked by a singular drive
for business success, an eagerness to have sway over elections and

founded in 1996, has played an increasingly prominent role in his

blame soccer hooligans for a deadly stampede after a stadium collapse;
in fact, the police's own poor disaster response was found to be
responsible. News Corp. later paid hundreds of millions of dollars after
it came to light that people acting on its behalf had hacked into the
mobile phones, voicemails and emails. The Murdochs closed down one of
its tabloids, News of the World, and abandoned hope of taking full
control of Sky, a major British satellite television outfit in which it
held a significant stake. </b></p> <p><b>In the U.S., Fox News paid nine

thousands of party emails that had actually been hacked during the 2016

worst thing that you can say about Rupert Murdoch, who resigned from
the board of the Fox and News Corporations on Tuesday, is that no one
has had a greater influence on the news over the last half-century.
Murdoch’s influence is both incalculable and fantastically corrosive. It
is impossible to look at all of the most malignant aspects of the
current news environment—its pace, its callousness, its rancor—without
seeing his impact. It is also a fully baked cake. Murdoch may be exiting
the scene, but there is no undoing the damage he has done.</b></span></p><p><span style="letter-spacing: -0.09px;"><b>[. . .]</b></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.09px;">Much
will be made about Fox News, Murdoch’s greatest and most destructive
creation. With Roger Ailes, he turned it into a juggernaut and
transformed the media. The cable news industry as we know it is, more or
less, the invention of Murdoch and Ailes. News had long been packaged
as entertainment, but this reached new heights at Fox News. The network
itself existed as an answer to long-standing conservative complaints
that the media had a “liberal” bias. It portrayed itself as a </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/business/media/fox-news-fair-and-balanced.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: black; letter-spacing: -0.09px;" target="_blank">“fair and balanced”</a><span style="letter-spacing: -0.09px;"> corrective. It was, instead, a new, powerful partisan machine. It worked immaculately.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="letter-spacing: -0.09px;"><b>Fox
News, with Murdoch and Ailes at the helm, transformed news into a
massive engine of confirmation bias. It was a safe space for Americans,
most of them older and white, to have their fantasies affirmed:
Immigrants were pouring into the country, crime was out of control,
their way of life was under threat from sources both foreign and
domestic. For decades, it pushed conspiracies of every stripe and played
a major role in pushing numerous disasters, from the Iraq War to the
January 6 insurrection. Pushing conspiracies was and is Fox’s business
plan: It exists to tell its viewers that their political opponents are
not just their adversaries but represent an existential threat.</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p>Before
Rupert Murdoch began illegally making inroads in the US media (foreign
ownership was forbidden when Murdoch began his media empire building in
the US and he had not yet become a US citizen -- wouldn't until 1985),

Naomi Klein's book. I haven't read the reviews. I did review it here
on Saturday "<a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/09/naomi-kleins-doppelganger.html">Naomi Klein's DOPPELGANGER</a>" and on Sunday Ava and I did "<a href="http://thirdestatesundayreview.blogspot.com/2023/09/books-ava-and-ci.html">Books (Ava and C.I.)</a>" (which I think posted
Monday at THIRD). I do recommend the book -- Jim asked, after he read
my review, besides the punctuation what did I like about it? I don't do
puff pieces. It's a good book. It's worth reading. If you're a
feminist, you'll be disappointed because you will grasp Anais Nin's
importance to Otto Rank (as a patient, as a translator, as a
practitioner, as a lover). So if you're mentioning Rank, you really
don't know what you're talking about if you're not mentioning Anais.
That's especially true if you're writing of doppelgangers, doubles,
twins. And Anais Nin's entire output in terms of novels is nothing but
the twinning. Freud really doesn't apply to what Naomi Klein's going
after. Now most readers won't be feminists and that's going to sail
over them. I write from my point of view and if I ever have anything to
offer that's the only reason why. So, again, don't do puff pieces --
noted that in Friday's snapshot because people were e-mailing asking me
to review the book. I do tear-downs all the time. Didn't do a
tear-down on Naomi Klein. If I'd wanted to, I would have. And I've
even got a helpful parenthetical in my review referring anyone who wants
to do a negative review of the book. And, again, if I wanted to do a
tear-down, I could have. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">2)
Glenneth hates Naomi. He's hated her for some time. This predates his
leaving THE INTERCEPT. In fairness to him, she did come down on the
wrong side -- ethically and legally -- when THE INTERCEPT refused to run
Glenneth's column about the Hunter Biden laptop. She slammed him
publicly and shouldn't have. A) One writer to another, she should have
stood with him against censorship. If she couldn't do that, the kind
thing to have done was to have said nothing in the immediate aftermath.
Glenneth was an idiot himself. They violated his contract, so he
quit. He should have sued, that's why you have contracts to begin
with. (I've sometimes made more money from a project I've signed for
then one I've completed.) When I note that's he's not a very smart
attorney, that's what I'm talking about. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">3) Glenneth's bad mouthed Naomi for over a decade so factor that in to any of his Tweets.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">4)
Also factor in his stupidity. THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW is not
taking orders from the editorial board of the newspaper. It and THE NEW
YORK TIMES MAGAZINE operate with a degree of independence. NYT BOOK
REVIEW is -- and always has been -- rather clannish. NYT did not rave
over Naomi Klein, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW did. I'd think clarity
would be something an 'attorney' would strive for.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">5)
When he Tweets "The vast majority of media figures who lucratively
branded as radical, disruptive, anti-establishment leftists -- by
attaching to the Bernie campaign -- is now indistinguishable from MSNBC
liberalism." Huh? He's made that a part of the thread with his Naomi
Tweet. Is she one of the vast majority . . .? I don't get what he's
trying to say or smear her with. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Has
she presented herself as a radical? I don't believe she has but I
could be wrong. In terms of Canadian activists, she's pretty much in
the mainstream. (That's not me sneering at her. I'm not a radical -- I
lack the energy.) Did she attach herself to Bernie's campaign? If so,
that was wrong. I had originally dictated something on that but we're
pulling it because it will be mean towards her and we've said it before
so there's no reason to say it again. There may be at another time but
certainly no reason to bring it up while responding to Glenneth's
nonsense. I wish she were more and I'm probably harder on her for that
reason. But, objectively, who she is is largely who she self-presents
as and I don't believe she's claimed to be a radical. She's a climate
activist mainly. She's also a mother and I found that section of the
book to be the most moving. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">In
terms of her work, she's been far more consistent than Glenneth has.
She's also got consistency that he lacks as he tries to grift her and
there or play the trickster when he's influencing (or trying to) an
election. Like back in 2008. </div><div dir="ltr"> </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Glenneth
doesn't like women. He's too busy rejecting them and anything feminine
so that he can look 'like a man.' Remember, he was closeted to most in
college and did everything he could to fit in with straight bullies.
He gets his attitude towards women from them. If you went through his
Tweets and just compiled statistics, you'd realize how unimportant women
are to Glenneth. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">As for
the third Tweet? Just another example of how the supposed attorney lack
clarity. I've been against the proxy war on Ukraine since it started.
When CODESTINK wasn't sure where to come down, I'd already made my
position clear. WSWS are not "far right fascists" and they're also
against the proxy war. There are many more. But Glenneth creates straw
men because he's always been afraid of getting his butt kicked by
actual men. (Which is why I do believe that flash drive contained
Glenneth's browser history.) </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The following sites:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><h2 class="title"></h2>

transgender youth and adults; passing religious exemptions to deny
medical care for LGBTQ+ people; increasing the difficulty of obtaining

they can strip of citizenship. 'B-b-b-but the Constitution!' Doesn't

expanded upon, honest, pinky promise.' It's already being used to deny
the rights of gays and lesbians. And the GOP extremist goal is to
overturn marriage equality. Why? Because they believe it is the first
time the government has recognized legal rights for gays and lesbians.
They think if they overturn this, they can overturn anything. They have
also defined same-sex relationships -- living together, marriage,
dating, what have you -- as pornography. They don't do that for
straight relationships. But they do it for same-sex relationships and
their plan is to further attack LGBTQ+ rights by doing that and arguing
that free speech does not apply to pornography. They want to now move

They are part of a plan. C.I.'s covered at THE COMMON ILLS more than once but a lot of people are still unaware of what's going on. It's planned and it's part of a Republican plan to destroy the country. It's called Project 2025 and it's a blueprint for what they want to do if they, the Republican Party, wins back the White House in the 2024 elections. Fright-wing hate mongers came together and made up their wish list. Some of it gets more attention -- the part that lays out firing federal workers to replace them with loyalists to a president -- not to a Constitution. This is a very real threat. And these hucksters pimping Cornel West are a huge problem. We are not attacking the Green Party and many of us -- including C.I. and myself -- are on record saying if you're voting for the Green Party in 2024 to build the party, that's great, that's wonderful. But Cornel is not the Green Party's presidential nominee. I don't care how many times some liar on YOUTUBE tells you otherwise.

on a thumb-drive purported to possess Glenn Greenwald's browser
history. The drive was dropped off at C.I.'s agent. Since she's had the
drive, C.I.'s worked through it slowly and shared it with the community
and also with journalists and advocates she trusts. She saw the article from LGBTQ NATION that we started at the top with and she texted me about the article wondering if I could cover it because she
would if I wouldn't? I said no problem. And said that without
looking. Once I looked, I thought, "Oh, this is bigger than me." So I
sent out a text asking who hadn't posted for Friday already? I didn't
want to double dip on anyone who'd already posted and worked a full
week. So when those participating texted back that they hadn't posted yet, I asked if they wanted to do a roundtable? </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">And they
all did. So thank you to everyone participating. If you wish to comment on this roundtable, e-mail common_ills@yahoo.com because there are several people who work the public e-mail account for THE COMMON ILLS. That said, C.I.'s usually the only one who goes into it on the weekends so it may be Monday before your e-mail is read. I will start. As the mother of a gay son, I am outraged by
what the hate merchants are doing. And I'm further outraged that
they've gotten away with so much.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jim:
Agreed. I want to start by noting C.I.'s "</span><a href="http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2023/09/iraq-snapshot_01439863223.html">Iraq snapshot</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">" today which addressed how
the media repeatedly fails on the LGBTQ+ issue. Mike Pence, as C.I.
points out, was asked this week by the mother of a transgendered person
why he was attacking trans rights. He claimed -- as Ron DeSantis did
before -- that in his state, you can't even get a tattoo at 16 so you
shouldn't be able to have this blocker or that medicine or whatever.
Ronald made that claim about Florida. C.I. called the nonsense out when
Ron made it. This morning, C.I. had to call out the nonsense with
regards to Indiana -- Pence's home state. Both men lied or are stupid.
Neither state says no tattoos until you're 18. Both allow for tattoos
with parental consent. So two points here. First, why is it that paid
'journalists' are letting these lies sail by and not be called out when
C.I. can and does catch them. Second, this isn't an accident. As C.I.
points out, these politicians are lying to get support for their
policies. They're the ones making the false argument that in their
state you can't get a tattoo before the age of 18. The reality is that
you can with parental consent. By the same token that has been the
policy -- in all but the state of Oregon -- in the US and that should be
the policy. But if they tell the truth, they don't get to advance
their hate as the push to chip away at actual parental rights.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kat:
And that's why I was glad Jim was participating. I knew he'd bring up
the snapshot and I knew he'd credit C.I. I want to do the same, credit
C.I. She's got enough on her plate and she does this with no charge to
anyone and yet she's the one doing the work, not the so-called
journalistic outlets. And she's right that they lie about the tattoos
so that people at home will say, "Oh, you can't even get a tattoo? Well
we shouldn't allow blockers then!" No, you can get a tattoo with
parental consent and it should be the same with regards to your medical
treatment. That's between your parents and your doctor. And for a
bunch of right-wingers, I find it very telling that they're ready to rip
parental rights to shreds. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Betty:
Agreed with everything you've both said. And, as C.I. points out,
letting this lie go unchecked means the media is promoting this hatred.
Whether they intend to or not, they're promoting it. And, to toss this
out there, my brother -- who I love with all my heart -- is gay. And
I'm not taking kindly to these hate merchants coming after him. I am
way younger than him. I leaned him constantly growing up. He was there
for me anytime I had a problem, he was there for me in times of joy. I
love music and he's the one who taught me about music. It makes me
want to cry to see these hate merchants trying to turn back the clock on
equality. I am outraged. Sorry, I lost my point. Okay, so the media
refusing to fact check results in hate being advanced. But it goes
beyond that. There are the people on the 'left' -- they claim -- who
are part of this as well. That's the ones who join in and that's the
ones who stay silent and I'd like for us to spend some time on those
types.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trina: Certainly. Okay, let's do the ones who claim to be left -- or until recently did -- who amplify the hate.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mike:
I'll start. And, Trina's my mom so, obviously, I have a brother who's
gay. And, like Betty, I love my brother and you come for him, you're
coming for me. I'll toss out Jimmy Dore. In his exchange with Cornel
West, he kept tossing in trans -- if they were trans, Cornel would care,
if they were trans -- Can he just shut up a moment and grasp that he
has lost us and we're not coming back. His hatred of trans people --
which included that stupid joke in his so-called stand up routine --
make it clear that he's a grifter and he's a hate merchant. I feel
sorry for anyone that I ever steered towards his program back when I
thought he was someone decent because he was fighting for Medicare For
All. He and his grifting squad are disgusting.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ty:
Agree and I'm jumping in because 'Black' -- please put that in air
quotes -- Sabby Sabs is in his grifting squad. She recently brought on
some White boy transphobe, Link Lauren, that you usually have to go to FOX "NEWS"
for. He's gay and a transphobe so he's basically Glenn Greenwald. And
they had their little talk and I thought Sabby is just disgusting and a grifter and a creep.I'm sick
of these people. They are not left wing, they are grifters and the
door needs to be closed in their faces -- we all need to be Michael
Corleone at the end of THE GODFATHER closing the door on Diane Keaton's
Kay. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">C.I.: I need to jump in, I'm sorry. I didn't know Ty was bringing up Link Lauren. THE COMMON ILLS community is a very vocal community and it's all over. Thanks to them, when Bully Boy Bush pretended to buy a home in Highland Park, Texas, we knew not only that he didn't -- he was too cheap -- but we also knew that he bought a house that wasn't up to code or completed and we had the floor plan and posted it. Thanks to those same DFW members, we knew the rumors about Harriet Miers and were able to post those rumors and it killed her nomination and sent her southern Republican supporters scampering away as quickly as they could. I don't know Link Lauren, don't know of him. But, like Ty, some were offended by Sabby's interview with him, some DFW community members, and they want it know that he wrote a column that they see is "100% lies" and "completely false" -- I found those two e-mails just now, there are others but they repeat that line of thought. Here's a third e-mail, "He completely lied in a column where he attacked LGBTQ+ people as 'groomers' and worse while claiming that he had been at a 2017 pride event and it didn't have this and it didn't have that. To which I say, 'Bitch, you're a lying drama queen.' I was at that same pride event. And I was a foot and a half away from him in Oak Lawn aka 'Gay Town' in Dallas. It was on Cedar Springs and the little drunk cry baby was crying between Hunky's and the Kroger parking lot -- not having fun as he tries to pretend in his column. He was convinced someone shouted 'Queer!' at him when five guys joined the parade walking up from Reagan Street onto Cedar Springs. We laughed at him -- this was a gay Pride parade, the five guys were taking part in the parade, and though there were tons of gays present someone supposedly yelled 'Queer' and, due to his self-obsession, it had to be yelled at him. I will further add that his claims in the column attacking the NYC parade compared to the more 'sedate' one he had been at in Dallas? That's a complete distortion. All lies. We were the same as the one he attended in NYC, the one that he's spitting on. He was a self-loathing closet case in Dallas and rumored to need to be degraded by any partner he was lucky enough to get on those rare instances when he could interest a man. He's a liar, he's a fake and he left Dallas in part because we, the LGBTQ+ community, couldn't stand him." This is one of the things I've tried to work into a snapshot since Sabby's interview aired and the e-mails started coming in; however, I really haven't been able to. But Ty referencing this hideous person means I have to make a point to include it now. So that's what DFW community members have said. I don't know, I wasn't there. They've never been dishonest before on anything that they've e-mailed in.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dona: I'm glad you brought that up. He sounds disgusting. And Max and Ugly Blumenthal, they're disgusting with their
transphobia as well. Although his ugly wife is disgusting regardless. These

stupid to grasp just how large this issue is or they just don't care. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Betty:
I'd guess the latter. They don't care. Remember Max's ugly wife has made remarks
making it clear what she really thinks about trans people. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dona:
Right. And this is big. It was big if it were just the attacks on
trans persons. But it's not. It's much bigger than that. They are the
first ones being targeted. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ty:
DATA LOUNGE is a gay themed site and you get these elderly gay men like
Glenn Greenwald on there who'll start carping that trans rights don't
matter and that they're LGB only, no T, and blah blah blah. Others,
younger gays and lesbians, will try to point out that we either all
stand together or we'll be defeated. The Glenn Greenwalds don't appear
to care.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Isaiah: They seem to think they can token their way along, be the club mascot for MAGA and they'll be unharmed. They're idiots.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jess:
I think you're right, Isaiah, but I also think that some are into
something different. That browser history that's supposedly Glenneth's
is all about gay subs and MAGA alphas and how each wants to dominate the
other. Meaning, I think Glenneth may be the kind who gets off on being
dominated and reduced to sexual slave. Jim's laughing but it could happen -- there are chubby chasers so someone could be interested in Glenneth again some day. But, yeah, he'd sell everyone out, I can see that completely.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cedric: Like Jim, I want to note the snapshot for Friday. I want to echo what C.I. said about the press repeating the lies of Ron DeSantis and Mike Pence. This is not minor. They are being confronted with how they are harming transgendered people and their response is to lie and the press response, sadly, is to repeat the lie and not fact check it. It shouldn't be up to the woman running THE COMMON ILLS website to have to say over and over, "That's not your state's law. Someone under 18 can get a tattoo if they have parental permission." This is not a minor point. DeSantis and Pence are making their argument for what they're doing with lies and these lies need to be called out. Their arguments are so weak that they have to resort to lying. And when the press doesn't call them on the lying and doesn't point out that what they say the law says is not what the law says, then the press is promoting transphobia. And I find that very disappointing. Very, very disappointing. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr">Stan: It's like what world are we living in? How did we end up here? Three years ago, would anyone have guessed that these hate merchants would be tolerated? That's what the press is doing, that's what the so-called left on YOUTUBE is doing. They're tolerating it at best. At worst? They are actively participating in spreading and fostering hate and this hate doesn't result in someone throwing a Kleenex tissue at you, it resorts in people being killed. <a href="https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/nation/2023/08/21/california-shop-owner-killed-pride-flag/70640009007/">Lauri Carleton</a>, an apparently selfless and great person to know was shot dead by a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporter because she displayed Pride flags. Shot dead. The woman's children now don't have a mother. Her husband is now a widower. She gave to her community and helped out anyone she came across in need. And because she displayed Pride flags some lunatic -- who supported RFK Jr. and who loved Matt Walsh -- murdered her. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Wally: That murder truly should have started a national dialogue about how the hate merchants had poisoned everything and how we needed to take a serious look at where the county was headed. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Betty: Exactly. Lauri was the woman we all know who checks in on those in need, who offers to help when you need help, she's the person we all knew no matter what city or town we lived in. And that's who gets shot dead. We should have recoiled in horror and this is should have been a CNN townhall. We can't afford to lose the Lauris, they're the ones who keeps our neighborhoods functioning, they're the ones who you count on in your area. And for someone like that to be shot dead, that should ahve been a national dialogue -- both in terms of guns and especially in terms of this out of control hate speech and effort to destroy LGBTQ+ people. </div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trina: Alight, good points. Anyone else disappointing us?</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ava:
Naomi Wolf going over to the dark side. That's disappointing. And
since at least 2008, C.I. and I have documented all the things wrong
with that woman. But to see her get in bed with anti-LGBTQ+ hate
merchants and misogynist men? That's more disappointing than her being a
Trump supporter. And what C.I. has said is true: She doesn't get back
in. Left-lite wants to let her back in a decade from now? Well then
they're pathetic. But no feminist should sign off on it. And I mean
real feminist. You're on the left and you're a woman? Doesn't make you
a feminist. There are a lot of women who are not feminists and I want
to be clear on this, no feminist should support forgiving her. First
off, she's done real damage. Second off, this is a pattern with her --
as C.I. has pointed out over and over and may point out in a book review
shortly. There is no forgiveness. She is not to be let back in. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Isaiah:
Before we close this down, let me note Matt Taibbi. He's just human
filth. He knew better but didn't care. And how he attacks trans rights
and trans people. F**king Uncle Fester look alike. He grifts to the
right and it should call into question everything he's ever done or
written. It should all be suspect now. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Betty: Me! Me! Trina!

Moving to the silent. The disgusting Katie Halper. Matt's roll dog.
Now she rolls it with Aaron Matte. She and Matte are disgusting. They
bring on convicted pedophile Scott Ritter and yet they can't cover
LGBTQ+ issues. That ugly woman's gotten away with enough already. Her
'streams' are in the tank and her career has faded. She's a fake and she
always has been. There's no excuse. She used to play, on WBAI, that
she was a feminist -- as though Spencer Ackerman's 2008 roll dog would
be a feminist. She used to pretend like she cared about gay people.
She stopped that long ago. She's a grifter. And a huge
disappointment. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trina: Thank you. Who else do we notice remains silent?</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mike:
I'd say Graham Elwood. Maybe he thinks gay is just too 'icky' to
discuss? It's amazing that, in Florida, Doo-Doo Ron Ron DeSantis had to
pass don't-say-gay when all these supposedly left YOUTUBERs are more
than willing to go along with it without any arm twisting from Doo-Doo. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kat:
This is an organized effort on the part of the right to destroy the
LGBTQ+ community and after that they'll come after the rest of us on the
left. That's what Project 2025 makes clear, in writing. And it's what's been noted for over a year at THE COMMON ILLS. This doesn't end with trans people, this doesn't just expand to then go after LGBTQ+. It's going go after reproductive rights, it's going go after single-mothers, it's going go after everyone who's not a White, straight male, Christian married to a stay-at-home, docile Christian woman. I don't know why you wouldn't want to stand up for LGBTQ+ people
all by themselves but if that doesn't do it for you, you'd think some
sort of self-preservation would kick in.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Isaiah: You'd think.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ty: I wonder what these 'left' people who are silent and the grifters think happens next? </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trina: In terms of?</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ty:
Well for one thing, where is their future audience. Gen X on up to today's teens? Not confused or troubled. They are pro LGBTQ+. Where do these grifters
think they're going to go when their aging audience dies? </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jess: I think they don't think that far ahead and also they're not grifting from the common person. C.I., what show?</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">C.I.: THE VANGAURD.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jess:
THE VANGUARD had a piece about how the rich man that funded Jimmy Dore
funded them briefly. He was a $5,000 a month patreon. And they talked
about how weird it was not to have to worry about rent for the first
time ever --</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ava: I think he was $5,000 to Jimmy or someone else. I think he was $1,000 or $2,000 to THE VANGUARD.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jess:
Probably right. So the minute they dispute something Jimmy's grifting
on, the money disappears. But Jimmy continued to get his $5,000 a month
from that one person just for spreading lies about COVID and probably
for attacking transgender people. There's always going to be some
disgusting rich person eager to buy a grifer like Jimmy Dore.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mike: I don't get the hatred. Why do you have to hate? Or why do you choose to?</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">C.I.:
For some, the issue is change. Most people are resistant to change by
nature. Some that are, they realize that and force themselves to grow.
Others don't want to. They plant their feet and don't want to know. A
cure for cancer would be shot down by these type of people. So when,
for example, SNOW WHITE is being remade and she's going to be played by a
Latina, it's time for them to lose their lunch as they struggle. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trina: Struggle with?</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">C.I.: Well not reality. Reality isn't a fairy tale. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Betty:
That's so true. Her name is "White!" I see that online about the new
SNOW WHITE Rachel Zegler. I don't get it. And I wonder about the
people who don't grasp that a Latina or Latino can also be White when it
comes to race. That's apparently too much for today's right wing
racists to grasp. But again, she's a completely fictional character. They don't seem to grasp that.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Isaiah: It's just hate, hate, hate. And I don't get it. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stan:
I'm with you, Isaiah. I went to college in the 90s, we believed in
equality. We believed in fairness. These hideous grifters who walk
around with a chip on their shoulder and it's like the worst thing in
the world to them is that a few movies now have leads of color. That's
got them up in arms and ready to revolt. Do you know how many times, as
a kid, I would tune into the fall TV season and see no kid with skin
color the same as me? I'm so sorry racist bigots that only 97% of the
lead roles are going to White men. That must be a tragedy for you all.
A huge unending tragedy. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dona: They loathe the word "diversity." If you don't look like them, you don't matter. That's the reality. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ava: Sad but true.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr">Cedric: And to these Glenneth Greenwalds who want to go along with the hate against the transgendered and think the haters won't come after him next? It's a war on diversity and I just have to hear that for my skin to crawl -- my Black skin. And maybe not being White like Glenneth allows me to grasp how it's just a skip and a stone's throw for them to come after me next. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Wally: But someone like Glenneth won't make that connection because he never has. He's never been part of any struggle. He hid out most of his life with regards to being gay, passing among staight right-wingers often by attacking openly gay men. He's never been part of a struggle. He doesn't care about diversity for that reason. He's always been in the room when decisions were made so he doesn't care. And it shows just as surely as that awful red dye he puts on his hair shows that he's too cheap to go get done professionally. </div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr">Stan: You know, we used to be challenged. When I was in school and college, I was challenged. It wasn't enough to know what you knew when you walked into the classroom. You were supposed to learn more. You were supposed to try to learn about people different than you. That's why the attack on our education system by these hate merchants like Ron DeSantis doesn't surprise me at all. Attacking LGBTQ+ people, attacking Black history or women's studies? It's about attacking knowledge, it's about attacking education and willing into being a population that doesn't know anything and never learned anything.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Mike: And, that's such a good point, Stan, the thing is though, they don't get that. Florida students right now are going to suffer in the near futrue because of Doo-Doo DeSantis' actions with regards to education in Florida. They will learn far less and they will be seen as less educated. And that's just the right now impact. If Doo-Doo and his ilk get their way, we are destroyed as a country. We can't compete on the world stage if we're destroying our education system. And, as Elaine points out often, Doo-Doo doesn't grasp education. What you can look up online or do with a calculator, that's not education. Education is not repeating memorized factoids. An educated mind is a mind that hears something and can process it, that can hear something and know further information is needed. An educated mind is one that can analyze. Doo-Doo just wants rote and rote will rot us. It's not 1817. We're in the 21st century and if we want to compete we need for our children to be highly educated.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Betty: I'm sorry but I marvel over DeSantis' delusion that he's the one we need to look to for education or ethics, <a href="https://therealnews.com/gov-ron-desantis-oversaw-torture-in-guantanamo-as-a-military-lawyer">he the man who oversaw torture at Guantanamo</a>. </div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kat: Since we're on the topic of Ronald, I want to note <a class="yiv5077098462ydp598c7adeyiv4150078495" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/florida-city-s-offer-of-safe-place-to-lgbtq-people-prompts-republican-ire/ar-AA1gLfqF?cvid=7c7563c59dec44368cb74a22080bbd64&ei=3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this from THE GUARDIAN</a> about what's happening in Florida:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>A

Uhm, I do want to go back to something that you were saying, C.I., about change? How much time are we supposed to give people to catch up with life.</p><p><br /></p><p>C.I.: I hear you and I agree. Some people just need to hate others. That's reality. But some people are scared. A lot of the garbage on that flash drive, for example, is scared people trying to sound like they're not -- that's especially the case when they're bitching about the masks, for example. COVID -- which is still present -- was a pandemic and it scared a lot of people. When Ava and I wrote "<a href="https://thirdestatesundayreview.blogspot.com/2020/03/tv-future-is-out-there.html">TV: The future is out there</a>" back in March 2020 we began looking at the pandemic in 1918 and, in later pieces, looking at the way that impacted the emotional response at that time. And, for some people, the entire world is moving too fast and they will need time to adjust. I've also covered how the attacks on LGBTQ+ today echo the earlier attacks in the 70s and how those hate merchants overreached. A few months ago, I wrote that I thought we'd reached the tipping point and that Americans had reached the point where they weren't fond of Moms For Bigotry or the lies being pushed. History can inform. And so my point here is, some people just needed time to adjust -- and may need further time -- and that group, okay, that's how it is. And how it would be on numerous topics. But this homophobia from professional hate merchants? That's not changing and they need to be called out. That group is hateful at the core and will do anything and everything to destroy this country. We need to realize that group is a danger to democracy and to the whatever this country is supposed to aspire to. So how much time do you give someone? I guess it depends upon which grouping you put them under. I don't have time for racists or homophobes or sexists. I don't. My time is limited and needs to be focused on things that actually matter. Transgender persons, for example, are more likely to go through a period of being homeless -- 30% of the transgendered population reports that they've been homeless, 29% live in poverty, they experience discrimination at work, they experience discrimination when trying to utilize public accommodations. These and other issues go to why you have such a high rate of attempted suicide in that population. I get that Billy may have a problem with change but at the end of the day I'm more concerned with the realities that Pam, a trans woman, has to live with than with Billy's comfort zone.</p><p>Dona: I have a relative who has recently come out. And it's been interesting. We've talked about it and one of the benefits of this awful time we're living with these hate merchants? My family member feels more accepted among the family because of it. Our grandmother, for example, was the big fear. But she just hugged and said, "Honey, there are enough crazy people harming others right now. It's going to take me a minute to wrap my head around all of this but, of course, I love you and I'm so glad that you trust me enough to share this with me." And when I think about that, I have to go back to the YOUTUBERs on the left who are silent through all of this. People I know personally are actually being awakened to discrimination and the need to push back by what the hate merchants have done. Where as the YOUTUBERs just seem to want to act like it's not happening. What would do the Katie Halpers live in? It's not my world. It's not most of our worlds. And one thing I want, one outcome, is that in 20 or so years, when this is behind us so we can all agree how awful and hateful some people acted? I want it remembered that Katie Halper and others did nothing. The same way people call out Ronald Reagan today for his silence during the AIDS crisis, I want it remembered that disgusting trash like Katie Halper refused to stand up and be counted.

aide, have been having a secret affair “for years”—at least since 2019.

would attack Governor Noem less than a week after she endorsed Donald J.
Trump as the 47th President of the United States.” Neither have denied

They’ve been married for over 30 years. Lewandowski married his wife, Alison, in 2005, and they have four children.<br /><br />Lewandowski
has a reputation of being just one of the many characters that Trump

stoked speculation that she’s angling to be Trump’s running mate for
2024 with an early endorsement of the indicted man for president.

on a screen behind them. “I will do everything I can to help him win

claimed it has a long list of receipts including “stays at luxury

took private planes on donors’ dimes, and would disappear frequently.

I get ticked when reporters don't care about facts. A NEWSWEEK editor
can tell you how long I screamed over the phone at him in the 90s when
they did a filler article about sex on TV and talked about how Matthew
Perry's Chandler Bing on an episode of FRIENDS handcuffed Rachel's boss
(Alison La Placa) while they were in a sexual relationship.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Do you see the problem?</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Chandler didn't handcuff her, she handcuffed him. And I still can't let it go. All these years later.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Or
the response which was, "It's just a TV show." It's a TV show you
elected to assign a writer to write about and then elected to publish an
article about. It does matter. It's also true -- and I raised this in
real time as well -- that the culture norms of the 90s were a lot more
comfortable with a man handcuffing a woman. Look at all the 90s films
with any BDSM elements -- I'm talking mainstream films -- the worst is
Madonna's BODY OF EVIDENCE but they're all pretty awful and they all
feel the need to have the handcuffed man or the spanked man assert his
'dominance' over the woman. (Reality, many S&M relationships have
women in charge.) </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">So they weren't reflecting reality, NEWSWEEK wasn't, but it was lying.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">And
that's the case with the media that covered Ron DeSantis lie and NEWS
NATION covering Mike Pence's lie. They're just typing up remarks.
They're not doing any real work and they're certainly not doing
journalism.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">If you are a
parent or plan to be a parent or hope to be a parent and you hear a
claim about how children can't do this or that, you're natural reaction
should be, "Really?"</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">And,
parent or not or not ever want to be, if you're in the media and
someone's making claims about laws regarding children, you should
immediately take five seconds to GOOGLE.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Lies have fueled the attacks on the transgender community.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">At this late date, I don't feel like forgiving any 'journalist' who can't do their damn job on this subject.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Pence
lied in front of a group of people, cited the Bible, tried to play
caring and understanding while endorsing parents being stripped of
rights. It's not your damn business what medical attention a parent and
a doctor decide is needed. It's not your damn business.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">But
to justify this break with basic rights, to act like it's normal, Ron
DeSantis and Mike Pence both resort to the exact same lie: You can't
even get a tattoo if you're under 18!!!</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">LIE.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">In
Indiana, as in Florida, someone under 18 can get a tattoo if the parent
gives permission (Florida also allows medical tattoos -- Indiana law
makes no mention of them). </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">And
that's how it should be. If your parent (or legal guardian) says you
can get a tattoo at whatever age, that's not my business. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">But
they lie -- Ron and Mike -- and the media helps them lie so that we'll
all cluck and say, "Oh, can't even get a tattoo why should they be
allowed to be on hormone blockers or have surgery"? Why? Because the
parent and the doctor have made the private, medical decision that is
legal and should remain that way. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">THE
NEW YORK TIMES has done so much damage with regards to the trans
community and that goes far beyond their nonsense that egged on Bette
Midler to make a fool of herself on Twitter. (I'm with Kim Brown -- I
don't work for Musk, I'll call it what it's known as: Twitter.) The
paper has lied over and over and intentionally misled. People think
"liberal paper." No, not really. It not only did not lead on climate
change, it never leads on science. Look at their archives and see how
they responded to the science on extinction level events. That's not a
pretty tale and, time and again, NYT has been reactionary with regards
to science and medicine. Look at their hideous and homophobic coverage
of AIDS and grasp that we were calling that out in real time. Don't
say, "Oh, it was the 80s." Yes, it was the 80s and, yes, their coverage
was homophobic and, no, there was no excuse for it.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">And
when politicians start insisting that they have the right to interfere
in your child's medical treatment that you and the doctor you have
elected to take your child to because, they lie, you can't even get a
tattoo when you're under 18, it is the job of the press to state, "This
is not true." </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Instead, they keep letting Ron DeSantis and now Mike Pence lie. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Journalism
is supposed to hold the powerful accountable and that includes calling
them out when they lie -- or, if you prefer, when they misspeak -- out
of malice or stupidity.</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">It's not too much, especially on a charged topic like this, to expect journalist to do their damn jobs. </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">When
they fail to do so, they allow the lies and misinformation that created
the culture of fear to begin with to flourish. So do your damn job.
The hate merchants are very focused on the destruction they want to
carry out. If you're not up to the job of covering what's going on,
admit it and quit. Stop pretending you're a journalist if you're not
doing your job.</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">The hate merchants of Moms For Bigotry remain busy. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> <a class="yiv0316645775ydp929e7449yiv3556922905" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/128-books-under-review-in-indian-river-county-school-libraries-some-already-removed/ar-AA1gHvz2?cvid=a73cfd7eaea042d0815576c6f3aa51bd&ei=399" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Colleen Wixon (Treasure Coast Newspapers) reports</a> on a school in Florida<span style="color: #2b2b2b;">:</span></span></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><p style="color: #2b2b2b; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><b>Another

African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals." In an
interview with DeSantis, CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor
Norah O'Donnell asked if he would represent the entire country, and
whether everyone could feel welcome in DeSantis' America. </b></div><div><b>"A hundred percent," DeSantis responded.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">No,

pulling a "stunt." Yeah, sounds like he's changed (that was sarcasm).
In case you forgot, he 'revised' the Florida curriculum. This was done
by his hand picked crew. And they decided that slavery was nothing but a
government works program -- kind of like FDR's WPA? -- that imparted
valuable skills and knowledge.</div><div><br /></div><div>And he has the audacity to accuse the NAACP of pulling a "stunt." We're
not done yet. Because of his actions, Ryan Palmeter killed three
African-Americans in a Dollar General shooting in Florida. The three
killed were 19-year-old Anolt Joseph "AJ" Laguerre Jr., 29-year-old
Jerrald De'Shaun Gallion and 52-year-old Angela Michelle Carr. At the
press event to garner attention on the backs of the dead, Ron DeSantis
was booed loudly by the majority of African-Americans present. We're
still not done. Then he ran back to the campaign trail and when an
African-American who was a veteran of the US military 'dared' to
question him, Ronald exploded and had the man kicked out of the campaign
event. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">And he wants to accuse the NAACP of pulling a "stunt."</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He went on to toss out figures that really have no bearing such as, "<span style="color: #2b2b2b;">But in Florida, our unemployment rate amongst African Americans is way lower than New York, California and these blue states.</span>" Florida is tied with Maryland with 3.6% unemployment rate among African-Americans. <a class="yiv0316645775ydp929e7449yiv3556922905" href="https://www.epi.org/indicators/state-unemployment-race-ethnicity/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Per the data from the Economic Policy Institute for 2023</a>,

I pay for it. It costs $11.99. I looked that up. I have no idea. It comes out of my account automatically each month -- and, truth: I don't go over my bank statement most of the time. </div><div><br /></div><div>So how it works is that you can borrow digital books. I think it's six at a time but it's increased more than that. Basically, KINDLE UNLIMITED is like a public library card but you pay monthly for it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I usually go with comic books and books about comic books when I get a book from KINDLE UNLIMITED. But this time, I went with an autobiography, David Carradine's ENDLESS HIGHWAY.</div><div><br /></div><div>Did you see KILL BILL -- both volumes? Bill is played by David Carradine. And you might know him for other movies (he passed away in 2003). For me, I know him through KUNG FU.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's a TV show that originally aired from 1972 to 1975. Before my time, yes. But Saturdays were always days with my grandfather. We'd have breakfast, clean our dishes (I wiped down the table before I was old enough to help wash the dishes), then we'd go for a 30 minute walk. We'd come in and he'd read the newspaper (probably something kids today can't relate to -- a folded, physical newspaper) and give me the page of comics. For those too young to know, the daily newspaper would have a full page of comic strips Monday through Friday, black and white comic strips. On Sunday, you got six pages of comic strips and they were in color. So on Saturday, I'd look at the page of comics and draw some of the panels myself while my grandfather worked through the paper. Then we'd play checkers or dominos and he'd have the TV on and I think it was THE RIFLEMAN that kicked off his Saturday programs. It was one channel that showed old TV shows. And he loved GUNSMOKE which was also on that channel. The one I liked best was KUNG FU. It was an 'eastern' western. David Carradine played Caine whose father was a White American and his mother was Chinese. As an adult, Caine moves to the US. And he goes through the west and is attempting to find his family and keep a low profile but he keeps encountering injustice and, when he does, he uses his training and defends those in need of defense. I've never seen it since I was a child. But I really loved the show when I was a kid.</div><div><br /></div><div>So I see the book and think of the show and of watching it with my granddad and figure it'll be a good read.</div><div><br /></div><div>It wasn't.</div><div><br /></div><div>DO NOT READ IT ON AMAZON.</div><div><br /></div><div>Do you look to decipher?</div><div><br /></div><div>You have to do that on every page. I finally figured out that a word ending in "d" was usually supposed to be a single or a double "l" and it's like that throughout. </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>No one proofed this. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sure it's a good book in a physical edition. But his digital version is an embarrassment.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's got nothing to do with the author, again, he died in 2003. </div><div><br /></div><div>But how could they do this? How could AMAZON put up a book like that?</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>He had been brought to Hollywood as the techinical director for the movie, Che. He was a former close companion of Che Guevara and was with him at the time of his death in Bolivia. After two weeks on the film, Nene walked off the set in disgust. Now he was trying to make a movie about the way we are all brainwashed by the establishment. Not an easy project to get made in Tinseltown, even in the sixties. I allowed him to attach me to his movie. We made it all the way up to one last meeting with Lou Adler, the music mogul responsible for The Mamas and the Papas, among others. We stubbornly adhered to our artistic purity and effectively pulled the rug out from under ourselves. Saul came back stronger than ever, though more trepidatious now of marathon make-out contests. He came up with a job interview at Warner Bros, for a movie tided Macho Callahan, starring David Jansen and Jean Seberg. I went to see the director, Bernard Kowalski. The part was an elegant, wimpy bridegroom with a missing arm. I said, "This is a Leshe Howard role, and I can do Leslie Howard with one arm tied behind my back. "I got the part.</b></div><div> </div></div><div><br /></div><div>"Leshe"? "Techinical"? "Trepidatious"? That's one paragraph and the whole book is like that. Need another example:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div><b>Roger Corman, the legendary king of cult films, offered Barbara a picture. It was a really good script for her, Boxcar Bertha. She said she'd do it if I played the male lead. Roger went for it. The director climbed the steps to meet us. He was a little round guy, very nervous. He talked very fast in short, explosive sentences. He told me he would have preferred Bruce Dem. I liked him immediately for his forthrightness. His name was Martin Scorsese. This was his first picture. It was also my first leading role. Not starring, leading. There's a difference. Barbara was the star. </b></div><div><b>I bought an old Packard straight 8 ('51 Caribbean with the 357 Thunderbolt engine) and we started out to drive to Arkansas where the film was being shot. Might as weh have some fun and see the country. The Packard broke down almost immediately. We had it towed to the shop, had a Mustang delivered by Hertz, and loaded the dogs and all our stuff into it. Off we went. </b></div><div><b>Somewhere in Oklahoma we decided we needed a break and checked into a motel. We took in a movie. A thing called Billy Jack. It was amateurish but it hit a chord in me. The maudlin message and the kind of fighting that Bidy Jack did fascinated me. I had a feeling there was a future in that kind of movie.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>"Weh"? Supposed to be "well." "Bidy" Jack? Again, you can't go a page without this pattern of errors.</div><div><br /></div><div>Barbara, by the way, is Barbara Hershey. They were a couple for many years and had a son together.</div><div><br /></div></div><div>Here's another, I'm just flipping every few pages and stopping to find one:</div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div><b>A little later, things had actually progressed (or deteriorated) to the point where I went to a martial arts competition at the Forum with Season and Barbara as my dates. When I introduced them, Barbara said, "Wed, at least they're getting better. "Little Johnny Blythe Barrymore came along as a "beard."</b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Wed"? Well. </div><div><br /></div><div>No one has time to decipher a book they're trying to read.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another example:</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON (December 17, 1975), I went to a benefit for the migrant workers union thinking I might find a beautiful, intelligent, socially active young woman who was looking for a good me. Jane Fonda was there running the auction. There was a definite spark between us and I had visions of combining the two dynasties, but she was a married woman as wed as way out of my class. I donated my Woody Guthrie work shoes to the auction and went on cruising. I hooked up with Tim. We prowled the spots, but pickings were slim.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div>That wasn't at random, I remembered that Jane had one mention in the book and decided to find it. No surprise, it also has a typo: "as wed as way out of my class" -- decipher, "wed" is "well."</div><div><br /></div><div>Tina Turner's got a mention to (a bit more than Jane), so let me go find that:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div><b>We got friendly and he asked me if I'd like to meet Tina.

We were chatting away happüy, though thirstily, when it occurred to me they were not going to serve us. We went to a couple of other places and were refused. We were a mixed couple, a no no. I thought it was strange. I'd just watched 10, 000 people stand on their feet, screaming and cheering for Tina Turner, and now she couldn't even get a drink. At one point, I got fed up and bounced a security guard off a wall. I found out later he was an off-duty cop. A doorman handed me a piece of paper and said, "Go there.

Friday, September 8, 2023. The attacks on freedom of speech continue
(and the grifters remain silent), an AEI 'scholar' thinks she's found an
"organized campaign of disinformation," and much more.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p>Starting in Iraq with another Quran burning -- or alleged Quran burning. <a href="https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/08092023">RUDAW notes</a>
they haven't seen the video but that 2 people in Kirkuk were arrested
and are supposed to be of a group that burned a Quran, recorded the
burning and then posted it on social media:</p><p><b><br />
<br />
“Those who disrespected the Iraqi flag in Shorja were not Kurds from
Shorja,” Arshad Salihi, a prominent nationalist parliamentarian of the
Iraqi Turkmen Front in a statement on Thursday, claiming that those
responsible for the reported incident were outsiders from different
countries. <br />
<br />
Article 202 of the Iraqi penal code states that anyone who publicly
insults the Iraqi flag "is punishable by a term of imprisonment not
exceeding 10 years or by detention."<br />
<br />
The reported flag desecration incident comes in the backdrop of
increased tension and as series of demonstrations by both Arab and
Kurdish residents.</b></p>
<p><b>Dozens of protesters, mainly members of the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl
al-Haq militia and their supporters staged a sit-in last week, blocking
the highway, protesting the reported decision by Iraqi Prime Minister
Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani to return the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP)
to its former offices. <br />
<br />
Kurdish residents of Kirkuk on Saturday afternoon amassed in protest
against the blockade on the highway. They expressed support for a KDP
return to the city and accused Arabs of silencing them. The protesters
lit fires in several streets and blocked traffic.<br />
<br />
Altercations between Arab and Turkmen protesters and enraged Kurdish
residents of Kirkuk on Saturday left at least four Kurdish demonstrators
killed and 15 others wounded after Iraqi forces fired live ammunition
to disperse them.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>Salwan Momika is an
Iraqi refugee living in Sweden who has become a public figure as a
result of the attention that he's gained from burning the Quran. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-curious-quran-burning-in-sweden-iran-iraq-disinformation-d838afbe">Elisabeth Braw has a column at THE WALL STREET JOURNAL</a> that I'm not understanding. Was it edited and examples removed?</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's the headline and subheading:</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="crawler css-bsrkcm-Box e1vnmyci0"><h1 class="css-1hch5ce-StyledHeadline e1ipbpvp0">A Curious Quran Burning in Sweden</h1></div><h2 class="css-jiugt2-Dek-Dek e1jnru6p0">A wave of anger from the Middle East is the result of an organized disinformation campaign.</h2></div><div><br /></div><div>"An organized disinformation campaign." Okay, that's a hook. You've got my attention.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And then we get this:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p class="css-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0" data-type="paragraph"><b> It seemed spontaneous but turned out to be an organized campaign fueled by disinformation. </b></p><div class="paywall css-1u1nl00-PaywalledContentContainer e1qcjy9n0"><p class="css-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0" data-type="paragraph"><b>When Salwan Momika
burned the Quran, it seemed like a misguided action by someone who
detested his home country. It later emerged that Mr. Momika was a former
leader of an Iran-linked Christian militia. His Quran burning was
amplified by extraordinary amounts of disinformation about Sweden on
Arabic- and Russian-language channels. </b></p><p class="css-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0" data-type="paragraph"><b>The
falsehoods being reported, including statements that Swedish
authorities specifically authorize Quran burnings, triggered
international anger with Sweden, and when Mr. Momika announced he would
stage a second desecration, people in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon staged
violent protests.</b></p><p class="css-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0" data-type="paragraph"><b><br /></b></p></div></div><div>Where's
the disinformation? That Swedish authorities didn't specifically
authorize Quran burnings? This was a free speech issue in Sweden. The
government did authorize the burnings. That's true of the ones that
followed such as the mid-August one where Salwan was sprayed with foam
from a fire extinguisher by a woman. She was arrested for that. By
Swedish police who were right there observing Salwan burning the Quran.
Was that 'disinformation' and falsehoods as well? Because the video
below is pretty clear on what took place.</div><div><br /></div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ay1y9ccI-5g?si=V2BWE7AE1tzX-u1p" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So
I'm disputing that claim. Okay, where's the other disinformation? And
how does that one thing add up to a campaign of disinformation with
multiple falsehoods?</div><div><br /></div><div>That's what I was reading
for. I thought, "Oh, good, someone who's done nothing but stir up
trouble is a fake ass and is getting exposed." But the article doesn't
live up to the promise of the headline. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The
first time we covered that story, we noted that the person doing the
burning was an Iraqi refugee. That's why we said repeatedly, that day
and others, that Iraq needed to target any anger it had not at Sweden
but at their own because it was an Iraqi refugee, one of their own.</div><div><br /></div><div>We
also said repeatedly they needed to get a damn grip (they were played
like a fiddle) and we said repeatedly that I don't support book burnings
-- that's holy books, that's all books. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'd
love to see how this was all a disinformation campaign and that's why I
read the column. If that wasn't poorly edited and something significant
wasn't removed? Someone needs to explain to Elizabeth Braw that
basesless hype may work for her at a propaganda mill like AEI but when
you're publishing at a news outlet, there are higher standards.</div><div><br /></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aAvPjHCVqsw?si=L75c4MWrCbMTgtz3" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Wasted
tears and wasted years. I can't believe how many times I re-read that
dumb column thinking I must be missing something. Had to be because,
surely, if you're going to write about an 'organized campaign of
disinformation,' you're going to detail what it involved. And trying to
figure out what I was missing (I wasn't missing anything) has put me
way behind, so quickly. Naomi Klein's new book is out. Texas prisons
are under lockdown and it's expected to last for at least three more
weeks. That's from two Texas prison chaplains and I told them I would
work it into a snapshot. Why the lockdown? Rumors but no facts. It's
impacting the prisoners and its impacting the staff. On the staff, for
example, they're not allowed right now -- due to the lockdown -- to
bring in any liquids. They can't take in coffee, they can't take in
water. Most staff is given two bottles of water after they are inside
the prison. That's all the liquid they're provided for their shift.
Many cities across Texas yesterday had temperatures of over 100
degrees. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>On Iraq, <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/09/08/roaming-charges-99/">Jeffrey St. Clair (COUNTERPUNCH) notes</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Even as children in Iraq continue to be born with <a href="https://theintercept.com/2019/11/25/iraq-children-birth-defects-military/">birth defects</a> as a consequence of the <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/03/29/cancer-as-weapon-sowing-battlefields-with-depleted-uranium/">radiological weapons</a>

even deadlier than Depleted Uranium is Ronald DeSantis. Yesterday, the
man who has ruined Florida, tried to charm potential voters and it did
not go over well. <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/ron-desantis-erupts-audience-member-224202490.html">Alec Hernandez (NBC NEWS) reports</a>:</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><p><b>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis engaged in a heated argument Thursday with
an audience member at a news conference who blamed him for the recent <a class="link" data-rapid_p="9" data-v9y="1" data-ylk="slk:racist mass shooting that;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/jacksonville-shooting-gunman-wanted-kill-black-people-sheriff-says-rcna101985" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">racist mass shooting that </a><a class="link" data-rapid_p="10" data-v9y="1" data-ylk="slk:ki;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/jacksonville-shooting-gunman-wanted-kill-black-people-sheriff-says-rcna101985" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ki</a><a class="link" data-rapid_p="11" data-v9y="1" data-ylk="slk:l;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/jacksonville-shooting-gunman-wanted-kill-black-people-sheriff-says-rcna101985" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">l</a><a class="link" data-rapid_p="12" data-v9y="1" data-ylk="slk:led;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/jacksonville-shooting-gunman-wanted-kill-black-people-sheriff-says-rcna101985" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">led </a><a class="link" data-rapid_p="13" data-v9y="1" data-ylk="slk:three Black people;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/jacksonville-shooting-gunman-wanted-kill-black-people-sheriff-says-rcna101985" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">three Black people</a> in Jacksonville [</b><b>Angela Carr, Jerrald Gallion and AJ
Laguerre Jr.</b><b>].</b></p><p><b>The
news conference, which was in Jacksonville, had been scheduled to
highlight Florida's protections against Covid-related mandates. But it
took a pugilistic turn when DeSantis called on an attendee to ask a
question.</b></p><p><b>Speaking calmly from the back of the room, the man told
DeSantis that while he was a veteran and appreciated DeSantis' military
service, he felt DeSantis' policies allowed "immature people" to access
weapons that ultimately "caused the deaths of the people who were
murdered a couple weeks ago."</b></p><p><b>DeSantis interrupted: "I’m not going to let you accuse me of committing criminal activity. I am not going to take that."</b></p><p><b>"You have allowed people to hunt people like me," the man, who is Black, continued after some cross-talk between the two.</b></p><p><b>"Oh, that is nonsense. That is such nonsense," DeSantis replied over disapproving murmurs from the rest of the audience.</b></p><p><b>The
man was escorted out of the room shortly afterward. DeSantis continued
with his response as the man walked out, telling the assembled crowd
that Americans had flocked to Florida in part because of his
administration's commitment to public safety.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>First, as <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2023/9/5/rev_william_barber_jacksonville_florida_shooting">Bishop William Barber told Amy Goodman on DEMOCRACY NOW! earlier this week</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><p><b>Well, you know, DeSantis, though he’s trained and educated even at Yale
and got a law degree, he’s rooted in racism and meanness. He has
decided that this is his way to office: distraction, division,
deflection, focusing on culture wars so that he cannot be labeled as a
failed governor. That’s what he really is — not a presidential
candidate, he’s a failed governor. Anytime you have this many poor and
low-wealth people and low-wage workers and you haven’t addressed those
issues, you’re a failed governor.</b></p>
<p><b>The president was right to call out the racism and call out the
rhetoric and say that, either private or publicly, if you’re quiet, then
you’re complicit. I would also encourage the president to go one step
further, though. And that is to say it’s not just the racist rhetoric.
The racist rhetoric and the culture wars and the hatred toward women,
the hatred toward immigrants, the hatred toward the trans community is a
form of deflection. And then the president run the record and show how
the same person who’s spewing all of this division, guess what? He’s not
addressing the issue of poverty in your state. He’s not addressing more
than 40% of the people working for less than a living wage, even though
the people voted for a living wage to happen in Florida. He’s not
addressing the more than 2.5 million people that don’t have healthcare.
In other words, connect the rhetoric not just to the deaths that are
caused by someone like the young man who did what he did and creating
the ethos of death, but actually show how they are failing in their
roles as governors and legislators, and that’s why they want the
division and the deflection and the deception, so that we don’t see how
they’re also engaging in forms of policy violence and policy murder,
which is hurting the lives of people. And it doesn’t have to be this
way. Imagine if this same governor was bringing people together, was
raising the minimum wage, was ensuring healthcare and those things.
Florida would be a very, very different place. He does not want people
to look at that, and so he’s posturing himself like the Dixiecrat
governors of the old South.</b></p>
<p><b>And we need a new South to rise that’s not fooled by that, that
brings Black people together, white people together, Brown people,
Asians, Latinos, gay, straight — it doesn’t matter who you are — and
says, “We’re not having it anymore. We’re taking back the mic. We’re
mobilizing.” And we’re going to do it, because the fact of the matter
is, Juan, if just 2 to 3% of poor and low-wealth voters in Florida who
have not voted chose to vote an agenda, they could send any candidate
home, including Ron DeSantis. Poor and low-wealth folk have the power.
That’s what Bishop Frank Reid and others are saying. They understand.
And why they’re calling for this is that there comes a time, as the
Bible says, when the stone that the builders rejected have to rise up
and become the cornerstone of a new reality. That’s what we’re going to
launch on Thursday and beyond. It must happen, not just in Florida, but
across the country. Take back this mic.</b></p></div><div><br /></div><div>But
people aren't flocking to Florida. People are moving out. Conventions

a former high school history teacher and a lawyer on the ACLU team
litigating these challenges, the threat these laws pose to society is
truly terrifying. Conservative politicians pushing these bills are
advocating for nothing less than a re-whitewashing of history. If these
revisionist efforts are successful, the next generation will be
compelled to believe a version of history manufactured to fit the
so-called patriotic views of a vocal, discriminatory minority. Students
will not be taught, and may never learn, to trace the deliberate impact
of historic oppression on institutions today. This will reinforce the
salience of racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia as unavoidable,
and prevent the next generation from achieving justice.</b></p> <p><b>Efforts
to silence discussions about race also invalidate the lived experiences
of BIPOC students. Instruction about racism and sexism belongs in

push for classroom censorship ignited as backlash to progress towards
racial justice following the unprecedented protests in 2020 sparked by
the murder of George Floyd. To curtail efforts to expand instruction and

introduced bills to limit instruction about racism and sexism. These
bills, essentially education gag orders, passed in 17 states. By January
2022, 35 percent of all primary and secondary (K-12) students, or 17.7
million students, attended school in districts that experienced some
form of a <a href="https://idea.gseis.ucla.edu/publications/the-conflict-campaign/">local campaign to end “critical race theory” in classrooms</a>. To date, almost 700 efforts to exclude “<a href="https://www.aclu.org/podcast/kimberle-crenshaw-on-anti-racism-education-bans">critical race theory</a>”

from critical race theory) and culturally-relevant teaching techniques
