Uppity white Beth, who's absolutely not a racist! marched into a school board meeting and tried to get a video showing the #NativeAmerican perspective on #Thanksgiving banned from the school. Fortunately, she failed.
Banning the video does not change the history of the #atrocities brought upon the Native Americans that owned this land and were killed by Europeans to create the colonies. Instead it suppresses the beliefs and opinions of Native Americans. Up yours, Beth.
"Active Duty Airman Refuses to Eat While Gaza Starves." "It's just completely wrong and immoral for civilians to be starved and bombed and targeted in any manner," says Hebert. "I'm hoping that other active-duty members will be more public with their concern over the atrocities happening in Gaza.“
FYI - many of us civilian US invasion/foreign occupation war on Vietnam survivors never forgave Biden or Kissinger or Johnson or Nixon - for what they supported; dehumanization of our peoples, disinformation campaigns, committing multiple war crimes(which we still want accountability for), and we remember people who tried to support us & we are grateful for those folks.
Biden called peace protestors "assholes" & dodged war drafts 5X because he had asthma. I hate him.
Some of us remember #history & it affects us because we are living survivors of #atrocities by foreign violent #oppressors who commit multiple war crimes & decades later - we are still trying to obtain #justice for #USA#WarCrimes on Vietnam. Don't tell me how great USA is.
deliver global justice to Palestinians and oppressed people worldwide.
The failing international mechanisms we built to confront #global#crises suffer from one core problem: The lack of popular control and democratic legitimacy leads to injustice and gridlock, in Gaza and beyond. A few examples of how this broken system works include:
In this vitally important book on a topic of acute concern for anyone interested in military strategy, international security, or human rights, Alexander B. Downes reminds readers that democratic and authoritarian governments alike will sometimes deliberately kill large numbers of civilians as a matter of military strategy.
This encyclopedia covers massacres, atrocities, war crimes, and genocides, including acts of inhumanity on all continents; and serves as a reminder that lest we forget, history will repeat itself.
2 Bear Witness to #Evil. #DwightEisenhower understood why we must preserve memories of #atrocities duty still painfully w us 2day. Ohrdruf became 1st concentration camp liberated by American soldiers. It was 1st x #Americans saw horribly emaciated survivors 1st time saw piled-up corpses of #Holocaust victims. #Eisenhower deeply shaken by what he saw. He looked at bodies along w #Patton, #Bradley. Reactions ranged “from shock to incomprehension in Patton’s case, 2 vomiting.https://plus.thebulwark.com/p/to-bear-witness-to-evil
Polling shows:
•66% of Americans & 80% of Democrats demand ceasefire—yet they aren’t being listened to.
•73% of Palestinians in Gaza demand peaceful resolution contrary to Hamas—yet they aren’t being listened to.
•76% of Israelis demand Netanyahu resign—yet they aren’t being listened to
John Oliver perhaps said it best in his last episode—we need new leadership if we expect peace and Justice to prevail over war and death.
Escalating #violence across the #Darfur region in #Sudan has sparked fears that #atrocities committed two decades ago could be repeated, the #UN#refugee agency, #UNHCR , said on Friday, voicing grave concern over the development.
More than 4.8 million people have been #displaced inside Sudan since fighting broke out in April between the army & a #paramilitary group known as the #RapidSupportForces (RSF). 1.2 million have sought #refuge in neighbouring countries.

You will find that many folks like me, war survivors, won't take any political sides & can see bigger picture of evil ego filled puppeteers & power hungry violent leaders as who they are - evil & heartless towards innocent citizens.
I'm upset over seeing mostly one sided support by colonial nations - including Canada. You know most of us called it the US war in Vietnam while Western media/ppl called it Vietnam War? US & colonial states fund/interfere/kill innocent ppl in war games. FUCK WAR.
My family are #WarSurvivors . My parents never knew what no war felt like until we came to Canada as war refugees - they lived through wars for their whole lives til we fled. I was conceived in a bomb shelter. Born while active shelling was happening.
No one really wants to flee only homes they ever knew with only basic supplies. As war survivors, we never wanted revenge. We wanted peace. We wanted safety to live simple daily life. As victims of violent war, we only wanted the violence to end.
Also - don't try to tell me what some armies do isn't fucking #genocidal & not comparable to Indigenous experience here. WTAF. Many Indigenous #elders here, in fucking high conflict #BritishColumbia where #Indigenous ppls have been fighting for longer than most of you have been alive have compared ongoing genocides to their own ongoing #genocides by #colonial govts. They can #recognize the similarities & #atrocities. I listen to offline elders - not ppl online.

We Don’t Give A Damn Who Is Most Evil. Both Parties Must Stop Bombing Civilian Targets!
For the Gaza groups, the psychological warfare was just as important as the actual fighting. There were hundreds of films and pictures shared on all social media sites as if people wanted to change the way people thought about the relationship between the Palestinians, and Israel
