Folks! Kick Genocidal Joe Biden, “The War Criminal, Demented and Complicit in Genocide in Gaza,” Out of Oval Office in 2024!
During U.S. primary elections this year, hundreds of thousands of voters have chosen "uncommitted" rather than endorse President Biden, who they say is complicit in genocide. Primary elections are used to determine the Democrat and Republican candidates for U.S. national elections. The grassroots movement began just a month before primary elections in Michigan - home to one of the largest Arab American populations - and quickly spread to other states.
“These are but a handful of the doctors, journalists, and photographers who are risking their lives day and night to bury the dead, heal the wounded, and show the world the horrors raining down on Gaza.”
“Right in this moment, there are children under the bombs, without food or water. Our silence is responsibility. History, God, they don’t accept silence. Ceasefire now”
Our government is complicit with genocide. NOT in our name.
I didn’t sit here for years tryna stay calm and silent while listening to your bad takes on gale (who grew up oppressed, in poverty and then witnessed his entire district getting wiped out then rightly went to fight in the rebellion because it was his inlg chance of tearing down the system the wanted him and his family dead) being a “terrorist war criminal who is single handedly responsible for killing innocent people including prim and who is the REAL villain of the hunger games” just for y’all to turn and start stanning and defending actual facist dictator and child trafficker Coriolanus Snow because you saw a young hot version of him.
The Canadian government still hasn't taken a position on South Africa's claim that Israel's military action in Gaza is "genocidal in character" as the United Nations' main judicial body prepares to hear arguments on the case.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is expected to start hearing arguments from South Africa on Thursday, followed by arguments from Israel on Friday.
CBC News asked Global Affairs Canada (GAC) if the government would be taking a stance on the case but wasn't given a response by time of publication. A department spokesperson told CBC News earlier this week that the government is "following the situation closely."
Try looking up the phrase "israel hinders aid to gaza", and you'll find multiple sources describing multiple ways in which the Israeli authorities are actively hindering the flow of aid to the millions of people they're starving - as they have been since long before Oct. 7.
At this point, I just assume that pretty much any excuse, accusation, or statement of good intentions Israel's army or government makes is a lie until proven otherwise. They've worked hard to earn my skepticism.
Many journalists are, unknowingly or otherwise, aiding and abetting in the constant dehumanization of, and therefore the genocide of Palestinians.
Also complicit are social media platforms that are shadow banning pro-Palestinian blogs, and throttling pro-Palestinian posts, and incessantly promoting pro-Israel propaganda.
Never forget. Remember.
Remember who did what. Remember what happened at Jabalya refugee camp. Remember how western media outlets used false equivalencies to imply both sides of this “conflict” were on equal footing when only one side has nuclear weapons, an army, a navy, and an Air Force; remember that the passive voice was deployed to avoid assigning accountability to Israel’s war crimes; remember how the media used negative and dehumanizing words to describe Palestinians who were intentionally starved and denied food and water and access to healthcare, as “looters” when they found food for survival; remember that this decades long assault on noncombatant civilians did not begin on October 7th. Remember that only one side has had decades of apartheid and only one side is committing genocide. Remember how news outlets talked about some “humanitarian crisis,” as if the aftermath for survivors, following the murder of more than 8,000 Palestinian civilians, was an act of nature rather than what it was: the completely foreseeable results of civilian infrastructure + noncombatants being targeted by incredibly precise IDF weapons systems.
Remember so that the truth—that war crimes were openly committed by Israel—cannot ever be whitewashed away. Bear witness now so that you can speak the truth in the future.
While we're on the subject: there's a reason "inflation has stopped!" isn't a super compelling message to many (most?) non-economists. For one thing, it didn't stop as projected, though it has slowed down. For another, all that fundamentally would mean if it did is that prices are no longer rising due to inflationary pressure. It doesn't mean they go back down. It doesn't mean wages rise to cover the gap. It just means that commodity prices for consumers stop increasing for this one reason (they could still increase because the supplier decides to charge more for instance).
It's like going to the ER with a gunshot wound and them applying a tourniquet and sending you on your way. Like, huzzah, the bleeding has stopped. That is good. But until you take the bullet out, disinfect the wound, and provide some blood to offset what was lost, the patient is not made whole.
