This might be the most effective short video I've seen on the subject of the Gaza holocaust. (And I've seen many.)
I'll guess many who marched yesterday might hear the psychotic sounding Trump voice-over and think, by way of very short memory magic, that this horror is a Trump thing. While Trump's evil doing is particularly transparent (he's proud of it), and ongoing, everything he mentions here was standard operating procedure under Biden. And, as far as I can tell, would have continued under Harris, had she been elected.
There's been great moral cowardice evident on the left--or should I say among Democrats?--during this "war." A few college students have carried the entire burden of conscience for the nation.
It might now be convenient to make this about Trump, as Trump is hated and the tide is turning against Israel; but, if so, this will be one more example of the hypocrisy and dishonesty we see on the left end of the political spectrum in the US. It's probably important to see this for what it is, if something more honest is to ever take its place.
I think I first read about Trump in about 1985. I could see there was a "problem" with Trump from the get-go. He seems to have no conscience and acts accordingly. There may be some confusion (or maybe not). I've never believed: left bad, Trump good. More like this: left sick, Trump broken. Thing is, leftists are not going to fix Trump (not to say they're trying) by fixating on Trump, but they could, at least in theory, heal themselves. But that would take a moment of reckoning. Separating the toxic from the substantive. None of this will happen without some introspection. Twisting my interest in that introspection into absolving Trump strikes me as just a wee bit disingenuous.
Congress needs just this one video as evidence to invoke amendment 25 section 4
ReplyDeleteI have become so cynical. I can't help wondering how long before that strip of land becomes a Trumpanyahu golf resort for the ultra rich....

"bOtH sIdEs!"
DeleteAre you finally saying you think there's a problem with Trump himself and that "the left" isn't entirely to blame?
DeleteOf course, place all blame on "the left" as though Trump's Republican enablers haven't done anything wrong.

DeleteSo eloquent
ReplyDeleteApparently total annihilation is the definition of peace. But I think it is spelled piece, because there will only be a piece left.
