I can only imagine how it feels to be arrested, manhandled by the police, to sit in a miserable holding cell, having to hire a lawyer, dealing with family who aren't supportive, not to mention putting one's college education at risk. All I can say is I wish I had your courage! You are role models for the rest of us!
If someday a MAGA-friendly lunatic gets into the White House the protesting skills you have learned defending Gazan civillians will come in handy. Protesting totalitarianism is going to need those who have both the courage and practical experience to inspire and lead others.
While I’m on the topic of the Gazan slaughter, it’s obvious that condemning the leader of the country responsible for the slaughter of civillians is not anti-Semitic. Nor is it anti-Semitic to condemn the government or military responsible for the deliberate and/or extremely reckless killing of innocent men, woman and children.
Nor is critisizing our own government’s milquetoast response to the slaughter of innocence makes one Anti-American. Quite the contrary! Dissent is a great American tradition practiced for over two centuries!
One more thing I’d like to add. When Hamas slaughtered innocent Israelis I said to myself, “who paid for all the equipment, weapons, planning and training?” Certainly Hamas couldn't pull this off all by themselves!
I also asked myself who has the most to gain by distracting the American and other Western governments? Wouldn't it be the Russians? All the attention going to Israel and Gaza means less focus on the brutal war in Ukraine, which only benefits Russia.
I also find it convenient that Republican fascists from Tyrant Trump on down now proclaim they are the champions of the Israeli people despite numerous MAGA Republicans having cozy relationships with virulent anti-Semites! These rotten, power-hungry hypocrites are trying to make gullible Americans believe Biden is “weak” on Israel in order to woo voters on Election Day! How ridiculous can you get?
All I can say to my college-age brothers and sisters and to my Arab brothers and sisters: Learn from 1968. Had Hubert Humphrey won the Viet Nam War it would have ended a lot sooner. There would have been no illegal bombing of Cambodia, which would have meant no genocidal Pol Pot. Millions of lives would have been saved!
Tyrant Trump must be stopped at all costs. Only Goddess knows what horrors await us — and those around the workd — if he wins!
