The U.S. government often claims to stand for the rule of law, but this past year has made it painfully clear that this doesn’t apply to Palestinians. The moral, financial, and security costs of U.S. support for Israel’s rapidly expanding wars are adding up for Americans, too.
While the name of the next president is unknown, some outcomes of the election can be foreseen. For instance:
· President Biden’s successor will be a dangerous militarist.
The situation in North Gaza is beyond the word catastrophic:
horror, massacres, extermination. People are shot on site as they even try
to evacuate injured people, medical personnel are targeted, hospitals are
targeted. No food or water allowed. Israel simply rejected UN and
humanitarian organization access. People are dying by injuries and by
thirst. It would be more merciful to drop a nuclear bomb on them. All to
clear North Gaza for Zionist nefarious schemes to control its natural
resources (e=and control the whole region). In some places they simply
rounded people up, forced the women and girls to the south and took men and
boys (we remember mass executions like this in 1948 ethnic cleansing). IN
other cases they simly sent robot explosives to clear neighborhoods or
bombed people (men, women, children) from the air. How could we tell our
children and grandchildren that we had a chance to stop this and did not,
Please see the below small examples of what is happening and write letters,
stop the world to stop a genocide. Speak out, act now urgently. The horror
is beyond description.
On Thursday October 16, 2023, Commander Yahya Sinwar was killed above the ground after a gun battle with the IOF in Rafah. He was found above ground wearing a combat vest loaded with extra magazines, hand grenades, and an AK by his side alongside three of his bodyguards. He was not hiding in a tunnel among civilians or using the hostages as human shields to protect himself as Israel always claimed. And most certainly Sinwar was not dressed up as a woman to avoid detection.
Think you’re registered? Think again, Chuck-o. I was at a polling station in Atlanta, filming one Black person after another getting the heave-ho from the poll, told they couldn’t vote, including Christine Jordan, 92-years old in a walker. They literally kicked her out into a storm. Her granddaughter was distraught, trying to speak through her tears.
“The past carries unforgettable trauma and pain across the land and among generations of refugees; yet we choose to transform victimhood into agency. We want to be the authors of our future.”
Let these words resonate. In a sense, they’re all we have — if we oppose war and envision a future that transcends it. I’ve quoted these words of Ali Abu Awwad before. They’re part of the Palestinian Nonviolence Charter, but they reach beyond Palestine: deep into the soul, and the hope, of all humanity.

The most consequential statement by Secretary o-fly zone would provide “safe zones on the ground” was in “the best interests of the people on the ground in Syria” and would “help us with our fight against ISIS.”
Clinton in last night’s debate was her pronouncement that a no-fly zone over Syria could “save lives and hasten the end of the conflict,” that a n
It would do none of the above. A US attempt to impose a no-fly zone in Syria would, as Secretary Clinton once cautioned a Goldman Sachs audience, “kill a lot of Syrians,” and, according to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dunford, lead to a war with Russia. If the US has not been invited into a country to establish a “no-fly zone” such an action is, in fact, an invasion, an act of war.
