Yes, I see, Charlie Kirk was such a wonderful civic- minded “just asking questions” influence on these young chuds.

RIP D'Angelo, the greatest singer since Marvin departed. Who took the grit & attitude of hip-hop & alchemized it into angelic voodoo. He condensed the human condition - sex, suffering, addiction, love, oppression - into pure transcendence. A comet emitting blinding light & soul.

On brand. Oh and they killed nine Palestinians
since the “cease” fire.

Or maybe these special blends of Israeli “peace” ?

A headline stating that he was Israeli government tortured children by keeping them in cages

A headline stating that Israeli drones lower Palestinians with crying children record recordings, then shoot them

A BBC headline stating that the IDF will appeal a ruling banning the use of Palestinian human shields in Israel from 2005

A newspaper article headline quoting Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, that Jews were justified in using terrorism to win statehood, but the Palestinians are not

People who tried to go to their homes in the east of Gaza City and in southern Khan Younis were shot and killed by Israeli troops. At least nine Palestinians were killed despite the ceasefire.

Is Jimmy Goddamn Carter “mainstream” and neutral enough of a source for you ?

My god lady, wake up. These are sourced and footnoted to original sources. IDF files, actual quotes written by Israelis and Jews like Benny Morris, Ilan Pappe, Norm Finkelstein and Palestinian scholars like Rashid Khalidi … Seymour
Hersh, Ta- Nehisi Coates. But go ahead, believe Bibi and Smotrich.

Israel is a Eurocolonial crime scene masquerading as a democracy. How do I know this?
It’s written in their own diaries, interviews, government documents and
statements.
You can read it in any of these books, many written by Israeli authors.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

Kind of like Dick Cheney calling Nelson Mandela a terrorist.
Also worth mentioning, former Israeli p.m. Ehud Barak famously stating :
“ If I was [a Palestinian] at the right age, at some stage I would have entered one of the terror organizations and have fought from there”.
