#NeverAgainIsNow (a Rictameter I wrote in 2021 and included in 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆? 2022, after no one else would publish it)   No. Pro- Palestine is not anti-Semitic. It’s anti-apartheid, antiethnic cleansing, anti-genocide, and anti-colonialism. Being Jewish doesn’t require being evil.

I don't usually sign (or encourage others to sign) online petitions because most are more useful at collecting data than in righting any wrongs. But this one is too important not to sign, especially for those, like me, unable to participate in public protests www.writersagainstthewarongaza.com

2/2   Val Hoyle  $14,640   And of course, if-Israel-didn't-exist-we-would-invent-it POTUS tops the list, accepting $4,228,614 since he was in Congress.   Bought and paid for.   Source: www.opensecrets.org/industries/s...

To shame those financially influenced by genocidal Israelis, start with blood money in Congress. Oregon's delegation, eg, since 1989 accepted: @wyden.senate.gov $1,279,376 Jeff Merkley $237,047 Andrea Salinas $78,149 Earl Blumenauer $69,127 Suzanne Bonamici  $55,644 Lori Chavez-DeRemer $13,798 1/2

I've seen folks ask why Congress supports Israeli #apartheid#genocide#EthnicCleansing#Palestinian#FreePalestinewww.opensecrets.org/industries/s...

WW II started only 21 years after WW I ended. The world had changed, but not much relative to the drastic differences that occurred in the past 8+ decades.   So people warn about WW III brinkmanship without recognizing that it has 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 started. Global conflict just looks 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 different, now.

If you spend decades kvetching about protesters against #apartheid (calling them terrorists) and use that as an excuse to inflict #genocide and #EthnicCleansing, you've no right to complain when victims of your atrocities actually do fight back   #IsraelPalestineWar #FreePalestine

Article describes a company selling customer data then insists readers sign a petition telling that company to stop 🤦 Readers expected to ignore the fact that petition's only purpose (since no company abandons huge revenue streams just because people sign one) is collecting signers' personal info 🙄
