I’m happy to have found your fine media analysis. Anti-Palestinian bias is mind blowing.

Yes! Don't sit around waiting for "the establishment" to sanction or even approve of our actions, our dialog. Instead, unite with like-minded people and move forward without them. I like to think of it as, "I refuse to play." As much as possible, stop reacting to them. This is going on offense instead of constantly being reactive. Thanks for the post!!!

Let’s start by making a clean sweep 🧹 of the establishment Democrats and get more scrappers like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Murphy,Bernie Sanders,Lisa Duckworth, Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin etc.

Are the techbros playing head games with the online community? Now you listen hear FASCIST TWATS, not everyone shares your narrow world view as there are other people out there who’s world view is different from yours and therefore it is important to LEARN from one another’s world view as it shows that mature, responsible, respectful and engaged individuals are the ones who make a POSITIVE difference in the world. Let that resonate with you.

It truly eludes me why anyone believes that a Palestinian life, or a Muslim life, is worth any less than any other life. I will absolutely admit that I was uneducated about Gaza until I started listening to Waj and Danielle and Frannie, but now that I know, I can't go back to thinking what Netanyahu is doing is okay. I stand with the Jewish people AND with the Palestinian people. Netanyahu is a war criminal and needs to pay the price.

Thanks for mentioning the photo of lawmakers who met with Netanyahu last week. I searched yesterday for a report from ANYBODY I follow about that and here you are today, the first I have found.

I feel compelled to add to that news with this, as if things are not bad enough already (and in case you didn't know, which is likely the case for most people):

Hi Margaret, I was searching for more details on the photo and meeting with Netanyahu, and found this Truthout article. Enlightening … my junior senator, Adam Schiff, is in the photo. Shame on him!

Pictures show Democrats like Chuck Schumer standing next to Netanyahu, smiling.
