That time (1967) when #Israel sunk a US Navy ship killing 34 US seamen and injuring 171. Survivors, most of who were/are convinced the attack was deliberate, under gag order. For Israel, it was just another ‘tragic mistake’. After reading this Wikipedia account, you may also want to look up Jonathan Pollard. And still the US government gives them billions and keeps them armed. Go figure… #IsraeliWarCrimes

It has come to my attention that Iran’s supreme ruler Ayatollah Khamenei has written an open letter to American college students commending their anti-war, pro-Palestine protests. The gall of the man…trying to score points with his virtue signaling. Modern day #Iran is the WORST kind of #Theocracy - run by pious, self-righteous ultra conservative mullahs. The fact the state has a “morality police” tells you all you need to know. This is the country that murders young girls for not having their hair properly covered, after beating them. The country that sentences rappers to death for speaking truth to power. What a sorry state the once great #Persia has become. Thanks to Yashar Ali for alerting me to this matter. I highly recommend his newsletter. #protests #Gaza #GazaProtests

How can this be constitutional? Our founding fathers are turning over in their graves. Early American settlers were in many cases fleeing state-sponsored religion. That’s why we have SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE written into the US constitution. #legal #constitution #religion #StateSponsoredReligion
