Pro-Israeli epithets. In the AP/Guardian report of the Israeli terrorist assassination of the Yemeni prime minister "Iran-backed" appears four times for the Houthi administration. For balance every time that an Israeli atrocity or outrage is reported it should put "US/UK-backed" in front of Israel.

The reason the Minnesota Dems withdrew their endorsement of Omar Fateh is because pro-Israel Zionist donors threatened to pull back their money if the endorsement that was achieved through a fair process, was not pulled. That’s what happened. Question: do you think that drives party “unity.”

I worked 13 yrs on British Rail, anD I like publicly owned railways. But Trump taking over Union Station raises questions. When did he last travel on a train? When did he convert to control state of Intel and Railways? Are there more plans for socializing US companies? Is he mad? We need to know!

Boardroom chatter has changed. It used to be: “How do we beat our competitors?” → Competitive capitalism and the genius of the invisible hand. Today it's: “How do we please Trump?” → Crony capitalism and the corruption of the golden handshake.

I've noticed that many of the non-Palestinians I know are very worried about damaging their relationships with fellow non-Palestinians. They worry that being vocally and actively opposed to genocide will damage relationships. 1. Is that relationship more important than the sanctity of human life?
