The Israeli regime supported by the US regime just attacked the people of
Gaza strip killing 304 civilians (reported so far last night to this
morning) and injuring hundreds. Men, women, children are being slaughtered
again in large numbers using US weapons and support. This while not
allowing humanitarian aid (2 million people denied food, medicine, water)).
Is there any group that will intervene to stop the genocide? How is it
that the whole global order is subservient to Zionist racism with only
Yemen trying to ddo something. Egypt, Jordan, Europe, the UN, the US...
partners in genocide. No one still believe the Zionist propaganda but
politicians surrender to the Zionist lobbies and blackmail (Jefrey Epstein
was Mossad).
The US regime also just expelled the the South African Ambassador (for his
outspoken rejection of imperialism) and is trying to expell a lawful
permanant resident (Mamoud Kalil) for speaking the truth about an ongoing
genocide. The regime also got rid of Adam Boehler, US envoy who talked to
Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement). The US an Israel break ceasefires they
Sixty-two years ago, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., ignited America with his dream of what this country could be. Regrettably, that dream turned into a nightmare when Walter Carter, Jr., the president of the Ohio State University, declared that OSU would “sunset the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI)” as well as the Center for Belonging and Social Change (CBSC), effective February 28. So the sun is going down on diversity and inclusion at OSU? Is OSU now a “sundown town?”
For those of you too young to remember such places, they were towns that made it clear that Black people were not welcome there “after sundown,” often displaying these hostile sentiments on large billboards on the way into and out of town. Who is welcome here, and who is now excluded from the OSU community? What ideas and thoughts are welcome here, and which are excluded? Carter could not have made it more clear by leaping to obey legislation that has not even been enacted yet and federal executive orders that do not carry the weight of law.
Trump’s views on workers are not new
Lawrence Wittner, Professor of History Emeritus at SUNY/Albany who has
written extensively on peace movements, foreign policy, and economic inequality,
considers Trump’s record on American workers
(https://commondreams.org/opinion/trump-working-class). The title of his article,
published on May 21, 2024, says it all: “Trump Didn't Lift Up the Working Class.
He Stepped on Its Neck.” Here’s some of what he writes.
“Although Donald Trump, as president, proclaimed in his 2020 State of the Union
address that he had produced a “blue-collar boom” in workers’ wages, the reality
was quite different. Using his control of the executive branch of the U.S.
government, Trump repeatedly undermined the wages of American workers by
blocking raises and imposing wage reductions.
“Only the preceding year, Trump derailed vital wage legislation. In July
2019―with the pathetically low federal minimum wage stuck at $7.25 per hour for
a decade and some 13 million workers holding two or more jobs to support their
The website of a certain pan-Arab media organization seems fixated on translating, commenting, or briefing its audience on everything that US and Israeli officials say about the Middle East.
Every threat made by US President Donald Trump, every tweet by an American official, however insignificant or inconsequential, somehow becomes a 'breaking news' story, worthy of follow-up and heated discussions, as if what Americans say, or fail to say, is the only factor that determines outcomes in our region.
The same thing applies to Israeli officials or media: an unsubstantiated Jerusalem Post report, a mere analysis by ‘Israel Hayom’, an opinion piece by an unknown writer in Maariv, Haaretz, or any other publication, are somehow inflated to become facts, or serve as a representation of Israeli politics and society.
There should be little doubt in anyone’s mind that the “wag the dog” relationship between the United States and Israel has done terrible damage to American institutions and constitutional liberties. The US bipartisan unconditional support of the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world which now despises America’s corrupt political system and its increasing bizarre and out of touch leadership. There were even reports this past week that Washington and Tel Aviv have been discussing shipping upwards of two million Palestinians to Sudan and Somalia, two of the most violent places on earth, to permit the development of Trump Gaza resort and the annexation of the rest of historic Palestine by Israel.
