Biden acknowledges US bombs provided to Israel are being used to kill Gaza civilians

 I can see why the US media wants to bury the images coming out of Rafah well below the tawdry tales coming out of a New York courtroom about a former US president and an affair that allegedly occurred 18 years ago well before the 2016 election...

This is us.  This is your tax dollars at work.  

The students on campuses worldwide -- the people literally in the streets -- have the moral upper hand.  What kind of country condones using tanks against unarmed people in refugee camps?  What kind of people cheers the destruction of tens of thousands of innocent civilians because months ago an occupying country was briefly invaded, their own people kidnapped, allegedly raped and killed?

What kind of country backs another that essentially so devalues the lives of their own people they sacrifice them for political reasons:  refusing to provide medica aid and food, and even deliberately bombs the regions where hostages are known to be alive.  We watched in horror as Israel killed two of their own hostages surrendering under a white flag and killed even more of their own back in October when the invasion too place...

We stand by Israel? Why?

We need to silence those who support the status quo and promise an elusive "two-state" solution after the bigger well-financed country pounds an unarmed captive people.  We need to shout from the rooftops here at home: No More!  Nada mas!

A man was standing on the street corner in Woodbury, Minnesota at rush hour yesterday sporting a Minnesota Wild jersey waving a huge Israeli flag.  Why?

Clearly he's proud of how his country is faring in this "war", but what kind of victory is killing unarmed people with weapons provided by our country?  Death Be Not Proud.

We all are watching evil in the world -- where all my "Protect the Children!" and pro-life people at?  Where are the journalists bringing the images of wartime civilians on the run, and dead innocents to our nation?

We did this.  We provided the weapons of war -- like putting military-assault rifles into a the hands of a schoolchild here at home and looking away while he attacks unarmed people in schools, hospitals, community centers...

What are we teaching our own schoolchildren today -- brought up on a mandatory diet of Ann Frank and dwindling cries of "Never Again".  Do the kids nowadays not read the daily newspaper, so busy are they buried in their fantasy books and games, and tales of yesteryear world wars?

How long can you shelter them from the truth??

To too many Americans, life is cheap.  They don't have the connection with their elders anymore, off dying out of sight in government "homes" too often.  Nor do they have any idea what it must be like to have military-grade weapons attack their sisters and brothers... children.

It's a collective failure of conscience from our old people in power now.  The "boomers" who benefitted off the former world wars in making their own lives in this country today.

It's too late to take back -- or attack -- the weapons America once sent in good faith to our allies. (or bad faith:  the "evangelists" who believe in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ by literally rebuilding Israel "from the river to the sea" as the New Testament suggests to their religious branch must be done to bring about the second coming of the Messiah...

More and more people are rightly turning against religions like that in America.  But their former power has already armed an Israel under  a man who would sacrifice up his own people to expand the holding of his religious state.  

I pity the man holding the flag of a foreign country here in America and celebrating his country's military "win."  He doesn't know what he's doing.  He cannot see what is ahead for his nation, when America no longer provides the weapons of war being used today.  He's not for freedom and independence, as we in the United States champion...

He doesn't realize how these war actions against unarmed people today will haunt future generations when his alleged warriors are confronted alone without the people of this country backing such deadly acts.  God blesses us all, and in our own land, we choose to do more than survive by offering up our own as pawns in political wars so one man at the top can save his own skin.

Here in America, together we thrive.  And no matter how much the people working in communications and political advocacy today try to spin this one, and bury the story like the undervalued lives of children, vulnerables and elders, we know better.

We refuse to live like that -- forever at war -- and will not lose here at home to support religious beliefs of some over the current lives of others.  God doesn't want that, and in time, He will save those who trust in His name.  He really doesn't need tanks and fighter jets and assualt-rifles and children playing Souljah boys to carry out His plans...

God help them.
