Euro 1 to Euro 6 – Euro automobile emission standards explained

I don't really have a problem with driving in Paris since I usually take public transportation, but this popped up on my social media feed. It's your tough luck if you don't understand Italian.

I do drive, but it got me wondering what I would have to do should I decide to try driving in Paris again.

Which led me to learning that European Union regulations have been imposed on new cars, with the aim of improving air quality since 1992. This means that a car has to meet a certain Euro emissions standard depending upon when it is made. There are charts out there that explain which Euro rating your car is. Finding out whether your car is a Euro 6 diesel or a Euro 1 petrol, knowing your car's rating is more important than ever now, given the increasing number of levies and fines being introduced for older cars, especially diesels.

So, while people in the US are freaking out that there will be changes in automobile emissions standards with a push toward lowering them. That being tied to air quality.

The good thing is that older cars which are not as efficient will be eliminated.

But, yes, your cars in the future may not run on petroleum.

🚨BREAKING: HUGE problem for Dems!

I always thought she sounded stoned, but this is a real scary thought if this is true.

If there ever was a time for people to vote third party, it's now.

Unhappy with the presidential duopoly candidates? There are alternatives. Here's why you should vote third party.

Lesser evil voting hurts the voters. It also doesn't help our political discussion.

This is worth a listen if you don't like US politics and want change.

Kamala Harris Says She Was a Progressive Prosecutor...

There's a reason why she dropped out in 2020, yet the Democratic party is trying to ram her down our throats without her having to go through the primary process. She doesn't withstand scrutiny, yet she is getting a pass from the media.

Revealed: the hacking and disinformation team meddling in elections

OK, maybe you don't give an fcuk about Palestinians, but Israelis live high on the hog with universal health care, nice homes, education, and all sorts of other goodies paid for by the US tax payers.

You don't get the "socialism" and "welfare state", but you pay to support a nation that does not act in the US interest.

Remember the US Liberty.

Kamala Harris: "She's completely incompetent!"

I thought about posting Tulsi Gabbard ripping Kamala Harris on her record for those people who talk shit about 'Orrible 'Arris being "a real lefty". You can look those up since I disagree with Gabbard's direction these days. And there were questions about whether Tulsi was a lefty back in the day.

But as I like to say, most of "the Democrats are the party of the left" wouldn't spot a lefty if they walked up and smashed them over the head with a "smash the state" sign.

That said, Here is Norman Finkelstein who is a true lefty and the subject of "American Radical: the Trials of Norman Finkelstein"

Kamala Harris is in no way a lefty.

It's too bad the Green Party isn't allowed any publicity because we wouldn't hear nonsense about the Democrats being a "party of the left".

You know that Russian Interference?

Actually, it's more like they blame Russians for interference even though the 2016 election was thrown by the Electoral College, which comes from the US CONSTITUTION! It's called distraction.

 The Israel lobby actually does what the Russians have been alleged to do. 

And I don't care how pro-Israel you happen to be: that money would be much better spent here.

Democrats don't discriminate on race, religion, sexual whatever, disability, or just ability for that matter.

Former Labour Party leader, Neil Kinnock as Pinocchio with his wife, Glenys as Jiminy Cricket.

OK, I have a different attitude toward plagiarism than a lot of people. On the other hand, Biden chose to use material from Neil Kinnock. It wasn't that he was plagiarising as much as he was being totally insincere. Toss in he could have picked someone better to crib a speech from, as this image from the British satirical series Spitting Image points out.

But the democrats decided to run a three time loser who was beginning to show signs of dementia before the election even began. Then they decided to close ranks to prevent Sanders from getting the nomination.

And don't get me into John Fetterman, who should have withdrawn after his stroke, yet remains in office.

So much for the Dems being "wildly lefty" since what Sanders proposes is pretty much taken for granted outside the US. It's only in the US that people want to work themselves to death because they are heavily in debt. Go figure.

But I digress. 

Toss in that his running mate, Kamala Harris, pulled out of the running because she was a poor candidate. All the opposition has to do is to address her record and she's cooked.

But two really bad candidates managed to win an election based on "Trump bad".

I'm not so sure about Tim Walz, but I have the feeling that the Dems picked another "winning" line up.

Of course, I'm voting Green and hoping the system blows up.

ELECTION RIGGING: US HYPOCRISY IN ACTION.

 Yes, this is the long contemplated post about how hypocritical the US has been about pushing "free and fair elections on a secret ballot", which is a guaranteed right (e.g., The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) of 1948). Something that "western democracies" have been preaching to the rest of the world. While the rest of the world realises how rigged the system happens to be. I still want to find the quote from the African leader, probably Julius Nyerere, who said something along the lines of "We have a one party system. Does having two parties make you twice as democratic as we are? Three parties?"

I was just thinking about the people who like to believe their vote somehow counts in the corrupt US System.

So, let's start with the elephant in the room:

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

I've mentioned this one ad nauseum, but the basic gist is that the popular vote is pretty much irrelevant in electing the president. Most people don't give a shit about this unless it's their candidate who got screwed over. So, I am hoping that Jill Stein can win the electoral vote since she's on enough states' ballots to pull it off. So, a third party upstart winning the Presidential election with around 24% of the vote in a handfull of states might shake things up.

So, if you don't like the system and the duopoly candidates, Jill Stein is your candidate. Her winning the election will stir things up more than Donald Trump beating Hilary Clinton in the electoral college.

Take the test here if you don't think the Electoral College is something that needs to go:

https://www.270towin.com/quiz/

If that doesn't get you to vote for Jill Stein, I don't know what will. After all, what would shake up the US Political landscape more than having a third party upstart win the election...

This isn't in any real order than what is coming to mind, so:

THE PRIMARY SYSTEM

Every wonder why this process drags on so long: especially with modern communications technology? That's because the system is rigged so that candidates that don't have a lot of funding can beat out other candidates. And even someone like Bernie Sanders can get shut out of the nomination because the Political Parties are not governmental institutions, but private entities who make their own rules.

That should be pretty obvious if you have been paying attention for the past 3 presidential elections.

Unless you really believe that Hilary Clinton, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris are the best candidates the US could come up with...

Which brings us to the other elephant in the room:

 BIG MONEY IN POLITICS

That kind of goes with the previous aspect to this, but it goes well beyond it as well. The two parties go for who the big donors want, not the people. The "Democratic" party is really obvious about this. The big donors pick and the party tries to whip up enthusiasm for Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. Any candidate who talks about the issues doesn't make it too far in the process. Even someone as tepid as Bernie Sanders, who had popular support, will be pushed out for someone the big donors don't find threatening.

As I like to point out, which you will learn if you take the 270towin quiz, Vermont is a historically red state. And Sanders (along with Leahy) have represented the state.

You get the point.

Sure ranked choice voting is one way to fight this, but I would vote Jill Stein and then write in my dogs if we had that option in this election.

Ok, I could go into way more detail, but I am very frustrated by people who think voting for the duopoly is going to change anything.

More 'Orrible 'Arris, and she's even more 'Orrible...

The scary thing is that I'm not sure what her position is on cannabis use. That's OK, I don't think she does either. For that matter, I think she's totally out of it.


We won't need ads telling people cannibis use is bad. We will just say--"look at our president..."

It's 'Orrible 'Arris

Every wonder why she is being pushed as the "democratic" nominee despite not having campaigned or won a vote?

Because she's 'Orribe 'Arris. She had such a poor showing in 2020 that she had to drop out early on.

And for those on the right who believe she is somehow a radical leftist.

Give me a break. You wouldn't know a radical leftist if they smacked you over the head with a smash the state sign.

There's no real difference between her and Trump.

Amazon REMOVES Books Critical Of Kamala Harris

No surprise here. Well, other than that her father is a true radical leftist. But Kamala is estranged from him and has been for a while. So much for Rita Panahi who is someone I think wouldn't know a real lefty if they smacked her on the head with a "smash the state" sign.

Don't try and raise our hopes with someone who is in no way progressive, Rita.

Rita should stick to Oz politics since she has no idea about US politics.

But that pretty much goes for most of the Sky News Oz crowd.

Alas, this is a clip of a much longer show, but Caleb Maupin is on a few others as well. Rita needs to swot up (do Aussies understand that term?) on US politics before she says ANYONE in the "Democratic" party is in anyway "lefty".  Start with Real News Network's piece on Undoing the New Deal: the 1944 Coup against Henry Wallace. Bernie Sanders wasn't the first "lefty" to be torpedoed by the duopoly establishment.

Next, Rita, look up "La France Insoumise", they do have translations of the material on the party. You will encounter something closer to the left that wants to nationalise industries and do things that real leftys like.

But steer clear of AI since it is horrible with languages if you need a translator. Mais je me porterais volontiers volontaire pour ce poste.

And while we're at it, this book has been censored by Amazon, which is a LOT OF POSTS relating to how they are something any freedom loving person should despise. Fortunately, you can buy the book at Lulu (https://www.lulu.com/shop/caleb-maupin/kamala-harris-the-future-of-america-an-essay-in-three-parts/paperback/product-zmkjegd.html?q=Caleb+Maupin&page=1&pageSize=4), buying from something other than the monopoly called Amazon is a strike for freedom.

Do your research, Libertarians, Amazon is everything you claim to despise. 

Actually, Lulu is having problems processing the orders for this book. 

‘Knows she can’t win’: Barack Obama withholds endorsement of Kamala Harris

The Dems haven't learned their lesson, but then again there are the people who will "vote blue no matter who" even if the candidate is terrible.

 

For me, Sanders 2016 run was a confirmation of how bad the process is. The duopoly is pretty bad with the Dems being open about how bad the electoral process is.

Not only will they push a candidate, they will push a candidate who hasn't gone through the process of campaigning for office. But that is because Kamala Harris is an awful candidate. I was surprised they picked her to be veep in 2020. Even more surprised when Biden-Harris won the election.

Anyway, Sky New Australia has a good piece on how bad she is and how she is dividing the party, but that began the moment Hilary Clinton ran for president in 2008. I have a long piece on why I don't like the Democrats. 

And the Republicans are pretty much the same thing. It takes culture war issues to give the appearance of a difference.

As I said, get ready for Trump II.

No, a vote for a third party is not a waste.

PBS has updated and is rereleasing this 1996 documentary about third parties and how they effect US politics. I strongly suggest watching it: especially if you want to see change.

Change does not come from the duopoly, change is forced on the duopoly from the outside.

From the transcript:

 When Americans demand a third choice, or even a fourth choice, it can change and renew the major parties, sometimes making winners into losers and vice versa.

More often than you might think, Americans have looked beyond the two major political parties and reached for a third choice. When they do, big things often happen in American politics and in American life.

Let's start at the beginning. First, why two parties? In fact, why parties at all?

In the beginning, the founders agreed they wanted no parties in their new country.

"There is nothing I dread so much as the division of the Republic into two great parties, each under its leader" - John Adams.

"Ignorance leads men into a party, and shame keeps them from getting out again" - Benjamin Franklin

"If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all" - Thomas Jefferson.

Vote for the duopoly candidates only if you are satisfied with the current situation.

 

Kamala Harris's Record Will HAUNT Her In November: Elizabeth Nolan Brown

All the people who are thankful that she is running are going to be in for a nasty surprise.

No, I will not vote for a duopoly candidate--especially not this one.

She makes Hilary Clinton look consistent.

And Sky News Australia agree with real progressives!

Could Kamala Harris actually win in swing states?

Sort of a repeat of the previous post, but a bit more in depth.

What I find interesting sort of goes to my comment in the previous post about the Democratic Party being in no way lefty. They ran when Sanders was running: and he is nothing compared to the left once one leaves the the United States.

Yet, he frightens the Democrats and Fox News loves to say how "socialist" the opposition happens to be.

But don't mention medicare for all...

Get ready for more Donald Trump

Joe Biden was bad, Kamala Harris is worse. She will not appeal to much of anyone other than the same people who would have voted for Biden.

 

In the conceptual blog post on how US elections are rigged, the Democratic Party and it's joke primary elections is a prominent feature. The Democrats would rather lose with someone like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, et al than  run someone like Bernie Sanders.

And while Sanders calls himself a "socialist", he's pretty centre on the political spectrum. After all, he does represent a historically red state (and I don't mean that in the way the rest of the world does, which is socialist, communist, and beyond--except for Anarchists, who are black). So, the despite the Fox News attempt to make "socialism" a "bad" word, most people like it.

At least in its more moderate incarnations. On the other hand, maybe people in the US are total idiots.

I mentioned La France Insoumise, the ultra left party, which "won" in the last elections. I have to wonder what people in the US would think about things like:

• reinforcing the 35-hour work-week and moving towards 32 hours (and people in Europe start work with three weeks PAID holiday/vacation); 
• and reducing the retirement age to 60
• The protection of common goods such as air, water, food, living, health, energy, or currency by preventing their commodification in order to preserve the general interest and by developing corresponding public services.
• The separation of investment and retail banks aimed at separating speculative activities from lend and deposit activities in order to protect the latter and the creation of a public banking center, which would finance small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and carry out credit policy on social and ecological criteria.
• Raising the minimum wage (called "SMIC") from 1,149 to 1,326 euros per month net for 35-hour weeks and raising civil servant salaries frozen since 2010.
• Withdrawal from free trade agreements such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
• The "democratic re-founding" of the European Union treaties including changes in monetary policy, common agricultural policy, and environmental policy. Failing this, the program envisages a "Plan B" of unilateral exit from European treaties, followed by proposing further cooperation between countries.
• The implementation of an energy transition plan towards a target of 100% renewable energy in 2050, following the studies of the Association négaWatt and the public and interdepartmental agency of the environment and the control of the energy (ADEME). This transition involves shutting down France's nuclear power plants, criticised by the movement for their dependence on uranium supply, their alleged lack of safety, their radioactive waste management and their financial cost.

Even if some of those ideas didn't gain too much traction, it would be fun to see them being debated in an intelligent and informed manner.

Something lite as a diversion from the insanity called current events. This is brilliant.

Owen Jones on why Joe Biden Is a terrible choice.

I don't totally agree with him, but he has quite a few good points.



The only real choice if you don't like the duopoly candidates is Jill Stein. She is on enough ballots to get the 270 votes needed to win the electoral college.

And stop blaming the Russians, unless the DNC is run by Russians.

Kamala Harris Ultimate Word Salad Compilation

I'm trying to find something that shows how poor a candidate Kamala Harris was in 2020. But the ultimate answer tends to be lost. Here's one:

The last time Kamala Harris ran a campaign for the presidency, she dropped out of the contest before a single vote was cast. 

After launching her bid in Oakland, California, in front of a crowd of 20,000 supporters in January 2019, she campaigned for 310 days before dropping out of the contest. At the time she left the race, she was polling at 4 percent or lower in polling aggregates — a complete flop. 

It was a stunning result: Harris had been seen as a rising star for most of her years campaigning for and legislating in the Senate, questioning Trump administration officials, and was viewed as the possible future of the Democratic Party as she prepared for a presidential bid. She didn’t get close to the nomination in 2020.

Another one gives three causes that stood out.

1. Harris and her team were uncertain over which ideological path to take, especially as the Democratic Party shifted hard to the political left.
2. Her campaign operation was chaotic and advisers were often divided, changing the campaign’s direction repeatedly.
3. The Democratic base wasn’t convinced by her arguments about electability — and she missed her moment once real-world factors like fundraising, media coverage, and polling caught up.

But the major reason is that she is a really BAD candidate. I heard she didn't even have enough votes to carry California, her home state.

OK, Here's Tulsi Gabbard shredding Harris on her record:

Multiparty democracy explained

I thought about using just the graph, but I know that would confuse Americans. Especially the crowd who thinks that the Democrats are somehow the party of the "left".

Are you in for a shock if you belong that that group.

Above the purple on the left end of this graph is PCF, which is Parti Communiste Français. LFI is La France Insoumise, which is an even further left-wing to far-left political party in France. It was launched in 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, then a Member of the European Parliament and former co-president of the Left Party. It aims to implement the eco-socialist and democratic socialist programme L'Avenir en commun. 

But, having something to the left of Communism should clue you in for this is a fun ride. You can learn more about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_France_Insoumise

And, yes, I do support multiparty democracy which has parties like this one and Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement national, which is what was once known as the National Front. And is pretty extreme right.

I mean, Europe did have fascism. Soooo. And I'm learning about something called Operation Gladio.

And there are 14 other parties in between!

I have to admit that true multiparty democracy is a lot confusing, even if you are a fan. So, I can't get too deep into this, but it was not a victory for the far left. It also wasn't a victory for the far right. This is because neither party had a majority. This means that there will either have to be a coalition, or a new election. The government will function, which is what an "executive" branch should do: make sure things tick along.

But, yes. I do support this even if there are extreme parties and run off elections, but at least there are parties which represent the people. There is also a need to work together for the common good.

Congressman Makes HUGE Admission About Bernie's 2020 Primaries

OK, we now have it out in the open what we guessed happened all along: Sanders was going to win the nomination. So, the Democrats circle their wagons and run two of the worst possible candidates. Of course, they "won" the nomination if you really want to believe that. But doesn't it stink that the DNC that year was VIRTUAL??? I mean an unpopular candidate somehow manages to beat a popular one.

REALLY?

No, vote blue no matter who and get someone who belongs in a memory care unit, not the white house. It's time to look to another party that really represents the people.

As I said, I Demexited in 2016 because the Democrats became too obvious that they don't want to represent me.

And, elections are rigged in the US. The primaries being a really glarring example of it. The US needs to stop funding private elections with public money.

Let me repeat, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOT A PARTY OF THE LEFT!!!!!!

How Do You Do, Fellow Progressives?

That should be obvious by now, but they prefer to run candidates of questionable ability: even if that means losing to Trump.

It's been nearly two weeks and Dementia Joe is still the Democratic candidate for president: despite it being REALLY obvious that he isn't fit for the job.

He wasn't in 2020. In fact, both Biden and Harris were weak candidates who somehow managed to defeat a popular candidate from the "left".

Bernie Sanders.

The thing is that Bernie Sanders represents a solidly Red state, with the possible exception of Burlington. In fact, a Sanders candidacy would have shaken the US political landscape quite drastically. But he was suppressed for good reason if you want to keep the joke that is the US political system.

And despite what Fox News and their ilk will tell you, the Democrats are not a party of the left. Otherwise, they would have run Sanders. But the Democrats have a long history of making sure candidates like Sanders don't win (look up Henry Wallace).

There's a reason that "Hot button" issues are the ones being discussed rather than the real issues facing the United States country. This means that pretty much anyone who sides with the Democratic party doesn't have a lot of support from me.

And they are not what I consider to be true progressives.

Because voting "blue no matter who" is what led to this mess.

George Monbiot EXPOSES Keir Starmer’s Hollow Victory

OK, this is concerns British politics, but it relates to the rise of the "right". Especially since he talks about "Killer Clowns", which is embodied in the United States by someone like Donald Trump (ici par Marine LePen).

The problem was that the Dems could have run Bernie Sanders who is lefty, yet represents a solidly red state, who would have brought a kind of left wing politics. But Bernie is hardly left outside of the United States.


The real takeaway is that the same lesson can be learned in the United States.

And some Jonathan Pie, who I pretty much forgot about post-Brexit.

How U.S. News Media Manufactured ‘Antisemitism on Campuses’

It never fails to amaze me how this ignores anti-Zionist Jews.

And the fact that the bulk of zionists are Christian Zionists who only support Israel so that it will create a massive war to bring about the Second Coming. That really needs to be mentioned when someone spouts this non-sense.

No Scandal for Joe Biden???

As someone who has been asking about Hunter's laptop for some time, I know that Joe is as slimey, if not more so than Trump (disclaimer: my cousin uses the same computer repair company for his business).

Trust me, we would have two candidates with felony charges if Biden didn't have dementia. That makes any comment about Trumps being a "man of his convictions" seem ridiculous.

"Trump is a convicted felon..."
"Yeah, well, Biden probably would be as well if he didn't have dementia..."

Jaysus, and you wonder why I am voting for the only third party candidate who stands a chance of winning?

How the media turned on Biden

Actually, it was obvious in 2020. I want to write about how rigged US politics happens to be, but Biden "beating" Sanders in the 2020 Democratic primary was a case in point. The "Hidin' Biden" thing came from the liberal media because Biden wasn't doing interviews with even friendly pundits.

Sorry, right wing media, but the Democrats are in no way a party of the "left". They went with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020. They would rather lose with candidates like these than run someone like Bernie Sanders.

And Sanders is pretty moderate if one leaves the US.

The exact moment Biden lost the debate | About That

From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Just remember, if you want a real opposing opinion, you need to leave the United States.

And I suggest you vote Green if you don't like Trump.

Kings and Queens

I was thinking that the current national anthem of Great Britain, and a few other places, is no longer "God Save the Queen" since the Queen died. It is now "God Save the King". But that thought has me thinking in truly republican terms: since the only real difference between a republic and democracy is that the republic doesn't have nobility.

That means a democratic monarchy can have a hereditary head of state who can be totally out of it, which in the case of Britain was King George III. Republics can have out of touch heads of state as well. Case in point: the United States for most of this century.

The truth of the matter is that the US Constitution was a waste of time and paper since the reality is that it is meaningless. Most people have no idea what it means. Toss in that there are dangerous sections which have been misinterpreted to the detriment of public safety. Yet, the Judges did not say this was a case of desuetude, but reinterpreted the constitution.

The reality is that there will not be a bloody civil war between parliamentarians and those who wish to keep the old system in the US as happened in the Commonwealth period under Cromwell. It may be more of a Glorious Revolution where the people make the changes from the bottom up.

Having idiots and  lunatics as leaders has shown that the executive is pretty much a ceremonial post, the way having a King, Queen, Duke, Duchess, or other ceremonial leader is in a monarchy. The real power is in the legislature. And, as Tip O'Neill said, "all politics is local".

The way to really get change is to elect local legislators who are committed to change.

And the documentation will follow.

The only way to break the duopoly is to vote for a viable third party

No, the "democratic" party is in no way a party of the left. It is no different than the republican party in not serving the voters. They don't want competition from anyone who might break their lock on the political establishment.

But remember the Republicans were once a third party. Third parties can bring the government back to the people.

.  

Why you should vote for Jill Stein even if you don't agree with her politics.

It's not about the politics--it's about the system. Unless you like that your choice is between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

There needs to be a radical change in the US election process which is run by the duopoly parties. And it will not come from the duopoly. They are doing everything in their power to suppress alternative parties from raising the amount of signatures needed on petitions to get on the ballot to straight off making it hard to run. The duopoly doesn't need to jump through the hoops to get on the ballot.

Change does.

The only way to shake up US politics is for a non-duopoly party to hit them where it counts--in the results. Getting just 5% of the vote will assure that the Greens are on the ballot nationwide.

And the electoral college can screw up the popular vote, but the duopoly doesn't care as long as it runs the show. On the other hand, six states can rack up enough electoral college votes to throw a spanner in the system since it takes 270 electoral votes to win. I've written more than enough on how the Electoral college is bad, but no one is listening.

A Jill Stein win will be shouting in their ears. But we don't need a win--we just need to show that the system is broken.

All eyes on Gaza...and off creepy Joe!

Everybody knows that Netanyahu is using this to avoid prosecution, but it's wild how Gaza dried up criticism about Creepy Joe and his upcoming renomination.

Then, Trump is found guilty of all charges in his felony trial. Not a word about Biden's corruption though. That's been silent in the media.

And you wonder why I support Jill Stein? There's another post coming about that, but change isn't coming from the duopoly.

US As Guilty As Israel For Gaza Assault: Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson

The politicians need to realise that they took an oath to the US Constitution, not any other country. They represent the US people and THEIR interests, not another country's.

The Day Israel Attacked America

Israel is not to be trusted. It has knowingly attacked British and US Forces. It should not be given unconditional support.

How to rig an election without stuffing a single ballot box!

Free and fair elections on a secret ballot are a human right which has been touted by "western democracies" for most of the 20th Century. It seems to have vanished in the 21st, but it is part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) of 1948.

Article 21

1. Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.
2. Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
3. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.

There is another provision Article 20 (2) which states that: "No one may be compelled to belong to an association." I guess that's a good place to start on how US elections are rigged since some states have closed primaries which require people to belong to a party before they can vote in them. That is a violation of several provisions since it requires stating party affiliation, being compelled to belong to a party, and using public funds for a private organisation.

And I have news for you if you think that the democratic party is anything beyond the left of centre, if even that far left.

The primary process is another part of rigging elections in that they drag on interminably, which means that any candidate needs money to run a campaign through to the end. But even that doesn't guarantee that a candidate will get anywhere as Bernie Sanders demonstrated in 2016. The upshot is that the primary process is a sham which could easily be run in one day with modern technology. The only reason it drags on so long is to allow for the appearance of anything other than a coronation rather than a truly democratically chosen candidate.

Do you think that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden actually won the primaries in 2016 and 2020? At least 2024 is a lot more obvious in being a sham.

And if money isn't enough of a barrier, then the duopoly has their ways to shut down insurgent candidates: whether it is the primary or nomination process.

Ballot access to third parties is another way the democratic process is thwarted. Let's take Green Party candidate, Jill Stein's, race to get on the ballot in all 50 states. As she will point out, the duopoly are already on the ballot: it's the third parties which have to petition to get on the ballot.

And they have to do it on a state by state basis. The Green Party of New York needs to get 45,000 valid signatures by May 28, with at least 500 or 1% of enrolled voters coming from at least half of the congressional districts for Jill Stein to be on the ballot.  The Green Party is collection 90,000 signatures to make sure that they will have enough. This is because New York lawmakers increased the number of required petitions from 15,000 signatures to 45,000 in 2020. Under former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, the rules were also changed for party qualifications for ballot access from receiving at least 50,000 votes in gubernatorial elections to getting 2 percent of the vote for the top office in elections every other year.

So, here's an answer if you are wondering why the candidates and duopoly parties suck so much. They don't have to do a lot to be assured that's what you are going to be served up in an election. In fact, because of Gerrymandering, some parties don't even bother running a candidate. That means we have the ultimate one party system.

Sure, there are lots of ways to shake up the system if you are tired of crappy candidates. For one, vote for Jill Stein even if her politics aren't yours. She may be the first third party candidate in nearly 200 years to be able to win a presidential election (ever hear of the republican party???). Since one of her platforms is election reform, that would definitely get it on the radar.

Secondly, people need to realise that the US is actually a parliamentary democracy with the legislature holding the power of the purse. Having a serious government shutdown would turn it from a de facto Westminster system to a de jure one--especially if these principals are present:

• A lower house of parliament with an ability to dismiss a government by "withholding (or blocking) supply" (rejecting a budget), passing a motion of no confidence, or defeating a confidence motion.
• A parliament that can be dissolved and snap elections called at any time.

Of course, the US may go through governments faster than Italy or Belgium until it gets its act together, but would that be a bad thing?

Jenan Matari on Media accountability in reporting about Palestine.

This has to get out there. These are her words (with a bit of editing).

Jenan Matari made this speech on 16 October 2023 and it's still relevant. Nearly 7 months later and this is still as relevant as ever because nothing has changed within the media other than more discrimination and the firing of Arab and Muslim journalists from their positions and the continued vilification of people demanding liberation and justice for the indigenous.

After giving this speech at the New Jersey Palestinian American Community Centre press conference in early October, a reporter from CBS came up to her and said, “you know, you really vilified the media over there with that you said,” to which she responded with, “I’m glad my message was received as intended,” and she walked away.

The media must be held accountable. They have manufactured consent for violence against Palestinians all over the world.

We’re watching it happen again heavily as we watch their awful coverage of the peaceful encampments on college campuses across the country. They are criminalizing students, and manufacturing consent for police and state violence against our students.

They must be held accountable.

This is what Democracy looks like...

Are politicians and the media sure they want to describe the protests against the Genocide this way?

Why Jewish Armed Resistance in WWII can Explain Palestine Now

The Jen-o-side supporters don’t get how hypocritical it is to say “never again” while committing €thnic cleansing and Jen-o-side.

Or to put it another way...

Do you condemn the ŻOB? This is what happened then: “The left-wing Jewish Combat Organization (ŻOB) and right-wing Jewish Military Union (ŻZW) formed and began to train. A small resistance effort to another roundup in January 1943 was partially successful and spurred Polish resistance groups to support the Jews in earnest.”

Let's make the comparison a bit more obvious...

So, you want to say Palestine is somehow a made up concept.

I am assuming that you must be a Zionist of some kind to say that.

In that case, you at least know the significance of the Balfour Declaration. You are a real no hoper if you don't.

But, whatever the case is, you are pretty ignorant if you don't know something about the Balfour Declaration and what it means to the Zionist cause.

So, I am going to review it for you. Please try and wrap your head around this:

The opening words of the declaration represented the first public expression of support for Zionism by a major political power. The term "national home" had no precedent in international law, and was intentionally vague as to whether a Jewish state was contemplated. The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words "in Palestine" meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine.

The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The text of the declaration was published in the press on 9 November 1917.

Immediately following Britain's declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, it began to consider the future of Palestine. Within two months a memorandum was circulated to the War Cabinet by a Zionist member, Herbert Samuel, proposing the support of Zionist ambitions in order to enlist the support of Jews in the wider war. A committee was established in April 1915 by British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith to determine their policy towards the Ottoman Empire including Palestine. Asquith, who had favoured post-war reform of the Ottoman Empire, resigned in December 1916; his replacement David Lloyd George favoured partition of the Empire. The first negotiations between the British and the Zionists took place at a conference on 7 February 1917 that included Sir Mark Sykes and the Zionist leadership. Subsequent discussions led to Balfour's request, on 19 June, that Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann submit a draft of a public declaration. Further drafts were discussed by the British Cabinet during September and October, with input from Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews but with no representation from the local population in Palestine.

Here is the actual document, please read it...

You got that? It uses the word "Palestine".

There is more than enough evidence that the territory was called Palestine before 1948.

Now, go and shut the fuck up because you are talking shit.

So you watched films, like the Hunger Games, Red Dawn, Star Wars, etc. and sided with the resistance.

 But you're not letting the Palestinians exercise their "Second Amendment" right to fight an oppressive, occupying government which is ethnically cleansing them?

How fucked up is that?

It's Palm Sunday in Palestine--Remember the Christians of Palestine

OK, All you Christian Zionist out there who somehow believe this project is a partnership. Well, it is one, but it's parasitic.

Realise that you are aiding in the ethnic cleansing of Christians from the Holy Land.

You are condoning the destruction of ancient churches and religious texts.

Don't like welfare frauds. People who don't pay taxes living off your hard earned dollars???

Then, why do you support Israel?

John Mearsheimer explains further on why this is bad.

Simone Zimmerman for a little Jewsplainin' about those anti-semitic mobs of Jewish students...

Simone Zimmerman, is one of the film Israelism's main subjects and a co-founder of the group IfNotNow, says she grew up being told that supporting Israel was central to her Jewish identity, but that collapsed once she visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories and saw the system of apartheid under which millions live. “It’s so deeply contrary to our values as Jewish people to support this disgusting oppression and denial of freedom,” she says. Simone was once as Zionist as you can get. I strongly suggest seeing the film: Israelism.

Recording of a Six year old girl slaughtered by Hamas???

 Hi, just remember that US politicians repeat Zio atrocity propaganda which has been discredited. This question needs to be put to US Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who repeated the lies. And all the other US Politicians who repeat Zio lies.

The truth about the protests

The protests are peaceful, it's the cops that make them violent.

Gaza Liberation Seder

I never really got the idea of Easter since, unlike other Christian holidays, it didn't fall on the same day every year. It wasn't until I was married to a Jewish woman that I figured out it was a passover Seder that was geared to fall on Sunday.

One of the big differences between Passover and Easter is the reading of the Seder. I was curious about the Gaza Liberation Haggadah being read by the Columbia Students. I wasn't able to find the exact text, but there are a lot of suggestions for how to conduct the seder this year.

Reading these suggestions make it clear that Zionism isn't Judaism. In fact, it is very contrary to the tenets of Judaism. For example, the quoted texts come from the Australian New Israel Fund's Haggadah Supplement for Pesach 2024:

The Rabbis taught that it was wrong to celebrate the death of anyone, even an enemy: (Proverbs 24:17) “Rejoice not when your enemy falls and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles”. This idea led to the Ashkenazi tradition of removing one drop of wine for each plague. We can not celebrate “with a full cup” knowing we have achieved freedom through the suffering of others.

The Zionist state talks of Amelek, but there is this:

Near the end of the Passover Seder, as we open the door to welcome Elijah the prophet, we recite the shefokh khamatkha, Pour Out Your Wrath: a prayer in which we request divine vengeance be poured upon those who persecute us. In general the idea of vengeful retribution is a challenging text to discuss, but even more so this year.

and this:

For those who believe in God, we can see this as a prayer to remove the need for vengeance from our hearts by relinquishing this to the Divine. Weare not the ones who are able to effect justice adequately in this world, instead we must trust that just responses to evil will be pursued by Hashem. With this faith we can free ourselves from the bitterness of pursuing revenge and instead focus our energies on our journey out of slavery and into freedom.

 I've been on quite a few of these protests and have yet to see any real "anti-semitism". What is see are mobs of "Anti-semitic" Jewish students protesting lsraeli actions. Jews protesting against Zionism.

Of course, criticism of the Zionist state and Zionism is smeared as "anti-semitic" by Zionists since they want to try to stop any scrutiny. On the other hand, Zionism is one of those things that fall apart when under scrutiny.

There's a presumption of genocide and definite evidence of 100 years of ethnic cleansing

 It's sort of undeniable. It's not anti-semitic to point out that Zionism is a racist ideology. Actually, like the ethnic cleansing and genocide, it's pretty obvious. Just read Herzl's Mauschel. Talk about self-loathing Jews!

Why Some people don't like the United Nations.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles).


 

The textcan be found here. It's Article 21 that drove me to post this, although the other rights are worth supporting.

Article 21

1. Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.
2. Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
3. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.

A Biblical Refutation of Christian Zionism

The REAL Reason Palestinian Christians Are Fleeing The Holy Land

Dimitri Dilani is the spokesperson of the Democratic Reformist faction within Fatah, the party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Dilani is also the head of the Christian National Coalition in Palestine.

Did Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, just say the obvious?

Gilad Erdan just confirmed pretty much everything I'm saying here if this is an uncut or edited video.

ANd Just remember that Israel has been in violation of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty for a while (maybe over 60 years). The US Legislators who have been funding Israel have been in violation of United States law as well.

American aid to Israel is illegal under a law passed in the 1970s that prohibits aid to nuclear powers who don't sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (22 U.S.C. ch. 39). The US has long suspected that lsrael has been making nuclear weapons. Mordecai Vanunu showed conclusively that Dimona Nuclear plant was making nuclear weapons. Still, the US has not shut off aid to Israel.

Israel refuses to confirm or deny it has nuclear weapons or to describe how it would use them, a policy of deliberate ambiguity known as "nuclear ambiguity" or "nuclear opacity." This has made it difficult for anyone outside the Israeli government to describe the country's true nuclear policy definitively, while still allowing Israel to influence the perceptions, strategies and actions of other governments. However, over the years, some Israeli leaders have publicly acknowledged their country's nuclear capability: Ephraim Katzir in 1974, Moshe Dayan in 1981, Shimon Peres in 1998, and Ehud Olmert in 2006.

During his 2006 confirmation hearings before the United States Senate regarding his appointment as George W. Bush's Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates admitted that Israel had nuclear weapons, and two years later, in 2008, former US president Jimmy Carter stated the number of nuclear weapons held by Israel to be "150 or more". 

There is also the Leahy Law: section 620M of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, 22 U.S.C. 2378d and  10 U.S. Code § 362, says that no funds may be used for any training, equipment, or other assistance for a unit of a foreign security force if the Secretaries of State or Defense have credible information that a country has committed a gross violation of human rights.

The U.S. is a signatory to the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Congress passed the Genocide Convention Implementation Act (18 U.S.C. § 1091) in 1988, making it federal law. International law imposes on Biden and other high-level officials a legal duty to prevent genocide. The United States has significant capacity to influence Israel's actions as its primary provider of military and political support. Therefore, the U.S. has been obligated, since learning of the serious risk of genocide in Gaza, to exercise its considerable influence on the Israeli government to prevent the crime.

Israel and Zionism are their own worst enemy.

How Does the Government of Israel Treat Christians?

I'm starting this out with something from Wally Rashid about why Tucker's interview with Rev. Munther Isaac. I'm glad to see Rev. Isaac get publicity.

And here is Tucker to annoy my co-bloggers. I'm only posting this because of Rev. Isaac.

Former Israeli captive holds government accountable for hostages' lives

I've made it quite clear that the people who fixate on the Israeli hostages being returned are being played. Here is a former hostage who reiterates that point.

If the people who fixate on the hostages were actually serious, they would be asking for a ceasefire louder than the pro-Palestinian crowd. That's because Israel's reckless bombing campaign has resulted in the deaths of 50-70 of the hostages.

Toss in the hostages the Israelis who were njust killed because the IOF is a bunch of trigger happy idiots.

Never forget the USS Liberty.

An excellent explanation about why the USS Liberty incident is important for any pro-Palestinian activist to know about. Any US condemnation was very subdued. Offical US line has been to repeat that it was an accident.

The reality is that lsrael attacked a US Navy ship and killed 34 and wounded 171 crew members.

And said it was a "mistake".

Wally does a short and sweet job to explain why it wasn't.

Yes, there can be peace in the Holy Land.

Maoz Inon, an Israeli entrepreneur and peace activist, who lost both of his parents on 7 October due to a Hamas rocket fire, is now campaigning for peace.

 

OK. I've been wanting to refute Christian Zionists' ideas of the "end times" for a while

OK, Christian Zionists try to second guess god, as do a lot of "fundamentalists". But the problem is that an English translation of the Bible is reading a REALLY bad translation since the Hebrew alphabet is an important aspect of the Old Testament.

Rabbi Avrohom Brashevitzky has a couple of videos that explain why this doesn't work.

A Joke for the Christian Zionists.

Shlomo, the village idiot, went to the rebbe to ask for a job

The rebbe says: "Shlomo, I have the perfect job for you. You can sit at the edge of the Stetl and wait for the mashiach to come. For this, I will pay you a ruble a day."

Shlomo says, "A ruble a day! That's not very much,"

To which the rebbe responds: "Yes, but think of the job security!"

Israel has killed the "two state solution"

Rabbi Manis Friedman, self-dubbed 'Youtube's most popular rabbi,' is the dean of Bais Chana Institute of Jewish Studies in Minnesota.

 

The Answer to the Palestine issue is simple

All that needs to be done is to recognise the Palestinians' rights: especially THEIR right of return and reparations for the Nakba. Of course, that means the end of the Israeli ethno-state, but that is something which should have happened long ago. It probably would have if people knew about the Nakba.

Two Names to Remember of the 30,000 Killed in Gaza

 By Jarrod McKenna from the Red Letter Christians blog

One of the most powerful elements of the GazaCeasefirePilgrimage.com movement globally is hearing from the Palestinian Christian minority, like our new friend, Cami.

You may remember, the week before Christmas, Pope Francis condemned the Israeli military’s murder of two women, one 84 years old, who were sheltering in Holy Family Church in Gaza City. They were shot by a sniper leaving the church. The Pope called the murder of these innocent Christian women by the Israeli military, “terrorism”. Kat and I prayed for them and their families when we found out. On Saturday, we met Cami, one of the people we prayed for. Nahida Anton and Samar Anton were Cami’s family.

It was Cami’s 84-year-old aunty Nahida who walked outside the doors of the church into the courtyard to go to the convent when she was shot in the stomach by an Israeli sniper. What threat was this grandmother and beloved elder? What justification is there for looking down a high powered telescope getting a clear look at an elderly woman and deciding to pull the trigger?

It was Cami’s cousin Samar who ran from the church to embrace her elderly mother who lay in an expanding pool of blood when she too was targeted by the sniper. How can you look at a defenceless woman running towards an elderly woman lifeless on the ground and decided to again pull the trigger?

That image, of these two Christian women, a daughter seeking to embrace her murdered mother like her mother held her as a baby, on the grounds of a place of worship, now slumped over each other’s bodies, I cannot shake.

I must not shake.
It must shake us all.
Shake us from our apathy.
Shake us from our indifference.
Shake us from inaction.

This is not just Cami’s aunty.
This is not just Cami’s cousin.
These are our sisters in Christ!
These are human beings!!!

This is the church, the living stones, flesh and blood, being targeted alongside every soul in Gaza.

Our sister Samar served as a volunteer cook for the poor and hungry at Sisters of Mother Teresa House. Our 84-year-old sister Nahida was a beloved grandmother, not just to her own grandchildren, but to the whole community of Holy Family Church where they worshipped Christ and served him by serving those in need. Not just the Christian community, but they saw Christ in every hungry child, every suffering soul.

You might not be able to fathom the murder of 30,000 souls in Gaza.

You don’t have to.

Just hold these two women, your sisters in Christ, in your heart.

They are not numbers.
They are not statistics.

Say their names,
Nahida Anton.
Samar Anton.

They are your sisters.

They are witnesses to Christ, or in New Testament Greek, “martyrs”. Their lives testify to the truth.

Are we listening?

God save us from not being shaken.
Save us from the devil’s indifference.
Deliver us from the evil of apathy.
while people are being murdered en masse.

Let all God’s people say,
Amen.

 

Rev. Munther Isaac's English Easter Sermon

I want his message to get out to the world. I want the Christian Zionists in the US, especially those in power, to hear the voice of the oppressed Palestinian Christians. The Christians who are oppressed because Christian Zionists have a misguided interpretation of scripture.

 

Holy Week Saturday Vigil Sermon: “My God, My God why have you forsaken me?’…. This is the cry of feeling abandoned… It is a cry that has resonated for years in this land. It is the cry of every oppressed person hanging in a state of slow death. It is a cry that Jesus shared with us in his pain, torment, and crucifixion. Today, we place the cross on the rubble, remembering that Jesus shared the same fate with us, as he died on the cross as a victim of the colonizers.”

Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac's Easter Message to the World.

 Just in case you missed the numerous posts of his material:

Munther Isaac (PhD, Oxford Centre for Mission Studies) is a Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian. He is the academic dean of Bethlehem Bible College in Palestine, and director of the Christ at the Checkpoint conference. He is also pastor of Christmas Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem and is the author of "From Land to Lands, from Eden to the Renewed Earth: A Christ-Centered Biblical Theology of the Promised Land" among others.

He is a member of a group called Red Letter Christians, a group that tags themselves as "Taking the words of Jesus seriously". And they do since red letters are found in versions of the Bible where the statements of Jesus are in red letters. I would imagine a certain amount of discomfort if this group were to lobby the Christian Zionists in congress.

Which is why I post Munther's sermons: because even an avowed secular atheist like me can feel his message. I can't imagine someone who truly believes would not be moved.

Palestinian Christians Make an Easter Call for Relief from War’s Tightening Grasp

A serious question for Christian Zionists.

Are you really following God's will. Or are you presuming too much to the detriment of others?

People have been predicting the "end times" from the days of the early church. Predictions are made for the exact time of a second coming, which never comes.

Wouldn't the Israel of prophecy be one of divine creation, rather than a secular ideology, which is what Zionism happens to be.

Case in point, the Jewish State wants to stop Torah Studies.

In a historical ruling the high court of Israel has ordered funding of Torah students to be halted on April 1st. This means that students of the so called "yeshivas" will be subject to military service.

The Haredi ("ultra orthodox") Jews are anti-Zionist for a variety of reasons. Haredis have been exempt from military service as well. One of the reasons being because they have been in Palestine years before the non-religious Jews started the fight with the Arabs.

Thus they refuse to take part in the Israeli military which they also associate with "secularising" Haredi students after they completed their service.

"We prefer dying to serving in the Israeli army,” said Yona Kruskal, 42, a father of 11 and full-time seminary student, as he blocked traffic in Jerusalem with about 200 others last week in one of the frequent protests against the conscription law.

This is the latest episode that calls into question Israel's self description as the "Jewish" state which should be obvious since there has been a divide the secular and religious since the beginning of the project. The existance of the Israeli state violates several of the ten commandments.

Just remember that the gift of the Holy Land to the Jewish people was not unconditional. They were supposed to be a light to the world. The Zionist state is anything but.

So, whose will are you actually following by supporting the Zionist state: God's or yours?

Palm Sunday in Gaza

“We hope that next year will be a better year, a year of peace for Palestine, in every corner of Palestine.”

Palestinian Christians held palm branches during a Palm Sunday mass at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, while Israeli drones buzzed in the background. 

 

Members of this parish have been taking refuge for months in the parish compound along with other displaced Christians, totalling about 600, who have lost everything in the bombings. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem accused the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of murdering two women at the Holy Family Catholic Parish in Gaza and firing on a convent in a Dec. 16 statement.

Palestinian Christian Minister on Christian Zionism

I have a thing for the Rev. Munther Isaac, as readers of this blog know.

In this clip, he tells Ashfaaq Carim that it's shocking how distant Christian Zionists are from the way of Jesus. He says the “Bible has been weaponised by the empire” to justify colonialism and our intoxication with power. He also said that if given the opportunity to speak with influential Christian Zionist leaders such as John Haygee, he would call on him to “repent”. 

One thing that keeps getting swept under the rug is that Palestinian Christians are being persecuted by the state of Israel, yet Christian Zionists don't seem to care that they contribute to the persecution of other Christians by their love of "Israel".

Yes, God gave Israel to the "Jews", yet that gift was conditional on the "Jewish" people being a light to the world. The Jews have been expelled twice from the Holy Land because they were not keeping up their end of the bargain. And once again, "Israeli-Jews" are destroying this sacred land.

It is God who needs to create an "Israel", not man.

How did two of the worst candidates ever manage to become president and vice-president?

OK, I know the "Russian Interference" in the 2016 election was BS. Unless the Democratic Party is run by Russia, but there is foreign influence in US elections. No one is going to talk about it...in public. There's a post on how to steal elections in the US without having to stuff ballot boxes (hint--the system is rigged).

OK, maybe no one is talking about the worse foreign influence yet, but it is coming out slowly thanks to Palestine.

Here we have a candidate who pulled out early on because her campaign never caught momentum who somehow got onto the worst ticket ever. This video may demonstrate one of the reasons her campaign never caught on.

 Five Thirty Eight: Why Kamala Harris's campaign failed

 Please stop saying "Never again" if you are going to support Israel's attack on the Palestinian people.

Israeli hostages held in Gaza being played.

As I keep saying, I would be embarrassed to put up these posters if I actually knew how meaningless they were, yet some people still do. Israel doesn't care about the hostages held in Gaza. The war would be conducted differently if they did. First off, Israel wouldn't be indiscriminately bombing Gaza.

Anyway, this is a highly controversial topic in Israel. That's another reason not to use those posters.
