“I’m not sure how liberals and progressives are planning to side step genocide in order to tell people to vote for Joe Biden.” (-Kamau Franklin Stop Cop City)

“They’re trying to criminalize protest, and mass political movements. I keep saying, pay attention to Atlanta, and cop city. Rico laws they’re pushing, and what happening there. That is Ground Zero. It’s literally the government vs the people, y’all just don’t see it yet.” (-Ashley Stevens)

MEET THE LOVELESS

If you’re anything like me, ya need good rocknroll just to keep truding through these long cold days of sorrow, treachery, horror and indentured servitude. Two guys who still got it are the amazing Neal X and Marc Almond and they’re doing a Christmas tour with their glamtastic punk band the Loveless. You might enjoy them as much as I do, if you have a rocknroll heart. Kinda band I’d have had all my most loyal and dedicated collaborators had not already died suddenly, pawned off their punk rock values and respect for human rights in excahnge for membership in the elevator going up capitalist hierarchies, or or become immobilized by extreme poverty in the plantation states. Fabulous band starring the best superstar frontman and guitarist this side of Idol and Stevens..

“Nothing in my view is more reprehensible than those habits of mind in the intellectual that induce avoidance, that characteristic turning away from a difficult and principled position, which you know to be the right one, but which you decide not to take. (—Edward Said)

“69 journalists were killed during all of World War 2.

Around 75 journalists were killed by Israel in less than two months. Read that again. And again. Let that sink in.” (-Karim Wafa Al-Hussaini)

“The people of Gaza are trapped in a US and Israeli-enforced killing cage that is being made smaller by the moment. ” (-Jeremy Scahill)

“Its become hard for the US corporate media and the crappy Israeli propaganda to continue to claim “self defense against Hamas” while bombing hospitals and schools, and killing children at every turn! Carpet bombing Gaza and terrorizing the West Bank will never be justifiable. Occupation will never be normal.

The world knows it, and we won’t forget!” (-Claudia)

“61% of Americans support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

76% of Democrats. 57% of Independents. 49% of Republicans. But only… 11% of Congress has called for a ceasefire. ” (-Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib)

“Congress says you’re a bad Jew if you’re not a Zionist. How antisemitic is that?” (-Dr. Jill Stein)

“By this standard if I, a Jewish person, criticize a Christian Zionist – that makes me anti-Semitic” (-Marcia Belsky)

“More proof of just how much the American people are played —

A year ago if you called for Ukraine to have peace talks with Russia, you were a traitor, a Putin apologist & a moron. Now—after $130 Billion & thousands of lives—even the biggest war hawks are saying exactly that.” (-Lee Camp)

Israel Bombs Areas of Southern Gaza Where It Told Palestinians to Flee – News From Antiwar.com

Yes Israel is at war with Palestinian hospitals. And JAMA provided lose ethical justification. And every US medical institution has remained silent.

These are crimes against humanity.” (-Rupa Marya MD)

Totally corrupt Congress Critters just declared millions of Jews around the world “anti-Semitic” for opposing the highly profitable genocide to steal Gaza and its natural gas fields.” (-Tacoma Mike)

People in Rafah are sleeping in the streets. Not in tents, literally in the streets. It’s winter and it’s currently raining in Gaza. Most left their homes with light clothes.” (-Shaimaa Ziara)

Life in Gaza BEFORE Israeli genocide: ~97% of water was unfit for drinking ~56% lived in poverty ~64% of youth were unemployed ~80% were reliant on international aid ~70% were refugees And 100% are trapped under Israeli siege, occupation, and endless bombing campaigns” (-Remi Kanazi)

“The whole “The savages are assaulting our women we have to kill them!” line is tired colonial propaganda that has been deployed against colonized people for centuries. It’s no surprise Israelis chose it as they desperately try to win over public support for their genocide.” (-James Ray)

“I voted no on H. Res. 894. This extreme and cynical Republican resolution does nothing to combat antisemitism, relies on a definition that conflates criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism, paints critics of the Israeli government as antisemites and falsely states that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.” (-Rep. Ilhan Omar)

“I’m trying to get this straight…

There are Zionists that are surprised there are some Black people that are against Apartheid?” (-Black In The Empire)

If you don’t speak up against the genocide in Gaza, I really have no interest in your opinion on other human rights matters. You are a coward. And you should be ashamed.” (-Sikhfeminist)

“In their zeal to defend the indefensible in Gaza, supporters of Zionism have done what we have not been able to do in decades – educate the public on this colonialist, racist movement. Two months ago most had never heard of Zionism. Today millions understand & are rejecting it. The U.S. pretends that they are helpless, that they cannot stop Israel’s genocidal war. It is a lie. Fort Israel is a U.S. colony. It uses U.S. supplied weapons for its criminal activities, it is funded by the fascists in the U.S.” (-Ajamu Baraka)

You are required to condemn Hamas rapes you have no evidence happened. You are forbidden to condemn the mass murder happening before your eyes. This from the society that screams about following the science.” (-David Swanson War Is A Lie)

“It’s wild to see an elected representative explain what the Israel lobby doesn’t want Americans to know – that Judaism is traditionally anti-Zionist and large Orthodox Jewish sects maintain that position for religious reasons. If this resolution passes, Congress will condemn Judaism as anti-Semitic.” (-Dan Cohen)

“Once you start to dehumanize a group of people based on the actions of a few, then you become desensitized to their suffering and oppression. This is why it’s important to sift through the claims others have to see the truth. Be kind, compassionate AND think critically.” (-Jay Befaunt Revolutionary Blackout Network)

“”I’m Jewish. My great-grandfather was lynched because he was Jewish. My grandparents barely escaped The Holocaust. My grandfather was only sibling to survive out of 5 murdered by Nazis. My grandparents fled to Palestine. This is not a religious conflict. It’s settler-colonialism”” (-Yoav Litvin)

“Falsely stating that anti-Zionism is antisemitism conflates all Jews with the Israeli state and endangers our communities. It fuels deadly violence and censorship campaigns against Palestinians.

We are proud anti-Zionists Jews. We refuse to pit communities against one another.” (-Jewish Voice For Peace Action)

“People have mentioned how this resolution exclusively defines who is & isn’t Jewish enough, makes all critics of Zionism/Israel anti-Semitic — but most poignantly this resolution labels Palestinians, Arabs & Muslims as anti-Semitic. It is a deeply racist resolution.” (-Sane Saeed)

“6100 kids killed by Israel, the equivalent of two 9/11s of *just kids*

& western discourse can barely muster the words “war crimes”” (-Christopher Mathias)

It amazes me when people call Corbyn a “terrorist sympathiser” When Britain has spent its entire fucking modern Existence being a terrorist – either via the Empire or as an arse rimmer for Uncle Sam.” (-Suzie Wong)

Palestinians aren’t giving up, we can’t either. Palestine must be free, we must all be free.” (-AntiRacist South Stop Cop City)

“Revolutionaries didn’t choose armed struggle as the best path, it’s the path the oppressors imposed on the people. And so the people only have two choices: to suffer, or to fight.” (— Fidel Castro, 1967)

“Biden and both parties of war and Wall Street support genocide and ecocide.

If you want peace, justice and a livable planet, Jill Stein and the Green Party stand with you. Let’s replace the war parties with a party for people, planet and peace. #AbandonBiden #VoteJillStein” (Dave Schwab)

Not a Penny Nor a Bullet Off the Table (consortiumnews.com)

“You don’t have to hate other countries, because our rulers do

Our interests are not the same.” (-Black In The Empire)

“Although this putrid resolution should be deleted, if passed, the one silver lining is it might finally reveal to the ignorant masses the extent to which Israel OWNS U.S. politicians.” (-Matthew Tower)

“Hypernormalization – that’s how the USA swallowed the annihilation of more than 90 percent of Indigenous peoples and centuries of stealing children from the survivors. The settler pathology normalizes the suffering of others. That’s what it’s trying with Palestine.” (-Nick Estes)

“The ultimate propaganda goal of any nationalistic apparatus is to fuse the perception of “self” with that of “nation” into a cohesive identity that is loyal to the ruling class.” (-Yoav Litvin)

“The resolution states that all anti-Zionism is antisemitism. That’s intellectually disingenuous or factually wrong…The authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was + is expressly not antisemitic.” (-Rep. Jerrold Nadler)

“80% of Democratic voters want a ceasefire but Democratic politicians just say no. They threaten you with the Republicans to justify having the same policy as the Republicans. They do this on issue after issue. End the abusive relationship. Vote Jill Stein & join the Green Party.” (-Dave Schwab)

“Over 60 journalists have been killed in the War on Gaza and I have yet to see any of the outrage in Western media over this. There’s an unwritten industry rule that any physical attack on journalists anywhere is met with LOUD public outrage. Why is this war exempt from that?” (-Torraine Walker)

“Let me be clear. The proposed HR 894 is an assault on Freedom of Speech and Expression and a volume of lies. Equating peaceful protestors with “rioters” is the same tactic utilized by white supremacists to beguile the public against the 1960s Civil Rights effort. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now! #Ceasefire #FreePalestine” (-Dr. Cornel West)

“Israel is trying to annihilate all of the resources for the Gazan people. They’re targeting all their main infrastructure. They’re blowing up schools, hospitals and now the WHO.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign.” (-Kim Iverson)

“I believe nothing that Hilary Clinton ever says about anything. She has consistently lied over her whole career, and engaged in atrocity propoganda, in order to authorize war crimes and genocide against Arabs and Muslims, from Iraq to Libya to Gaza.” (-Bikrum Gill)

No. Calling for the end to Israeli apartheid is not antisemitic, just as calling for an end to South African apartheid wasn’t *bigotry.* Apartheid states do not have any “right” to exist. States don’t have intrinsic rights. People do. And for 75 years, Palestinians have been denied those rights by Israel.” (-Brihana Joy Gray)
