Not totally sure what your post/pic meant but there are RWNJs way to The Right of Conservatives or "conservatives" that the Left, Liberals and even Conservatives, have to worry about these days! Also,
They say: "A picture says a thousand words & the imagery slowly seeping out of Gaza tells a true story that many politicians and media figures are still doing their best to ignore or obfuscate.
"Satellite imagery on Google Maps - showing the devastated region as of October and November 2023, drone shots of dystopian aid checkpoints & military maps of so-called 'safe zones', make it increasingly hard to argue that ISR’s military 'operation' (to use a sanitizing word the media are incredibly fond of) is about eradicating Hamas.
"This isn’t just an operation,it’s a cremation,one with the ultimate goal of eradicating not just Palestinian life in Gaza - but the Palestinian identity altogether"!
Noting how ... "Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place - the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity." Further
So "DO PALESTINIANS HAVE A RIGHT TO RESIST ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS? Yes, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has explicitly affirmed the right of Palestinians to resist Israel’s military occupation, including through armed struggle. This right was affirmed in the context of the right to self-determination of all peoples under foreign and colonial rule."
"The right of Palestinians to resist their occupation - is enshrined in international and customary law, a fact that is denied and violated by Israel and wilfully overlooked by the rest of the world." +Finally note
"Palestinians know they need moral legitimacy in their methods of resistance, write Ramzy Baroud and Romana Rubeo, which raises the subject of Oct. 7, 2023." - WHILE ALSO ...
NOTING “Palestinian people’s use of force to resist foreign oppression and complete the establishment of an independent state is an inalienable right ... the struggle waged by peoples for their liberation, right to self-determination; including armed struggle against colonialism, occupation, aggression, domination against foreign forces should not be considered terror acts.” FROM ...
The brilliant Irish lawyer Blinne Ni Ghralaigh, has catalogued Israel's violations and total defiance of all international law at the ICJ on morning of 28th April. It is a very clear and learned view of the facts and it is very important information for viewing/listening to, indeed. So,
"Chris Hedges and Gabor Maté, introduced by award-winning journalist Aaron Maté, discuss the "moral issue of our time," Gaza. Hedges & Gabor Maté deliver speeches, engage in a two-way discussion and take questions from the audience."
"Like many American Jews, I was brought up to see Israel as infallible. Living among Palestinians taught me vital truths about the reality of the occupation."
"While the 'Heritage Foundation' has previously spread disinformation about purported noncitizen voting, the organization has now turned to desperate measures in search of nonexistent voter fraud."
We can't all return to hunting and gathering. We can demand that our communities work for the entire population not just to the wealthy elite and their ministers.
"I'm done begging people to care about Palestinians.I'm writing this not because I hope to change any minds but because the only power I have, the only power that many of us have - is to continually raise our voices & say that we do not consent to this"!!! FROM:
FROM WHCH "Israel has begun the final stage of its genocide. Palestinians are being forced to choose between death or deportation. What we're witnessing dwarfs all the historical assaults on Palestinians."
"When future generations read about Gaza - with horror and wonder how we allowed a livestreamed genocide to happen, what will you say?" And further ...
note: "It is too late for real justice in Gaza now. We can never bring back the dead children. We can’t erase what has happened. But it is not too late for accountability. The atrocities must be documented. The dead in Gaza must be properly counted so we know how many people have been murdered.The media must stop parroting an official death figure of 55000 people being dead without putting this into context and noting that when you account for indirect deaths from starvation, disease or cold, the real number of deaths is probably enormously higher."
"If you've stayed quiet until now, telling yourself that all this is just far too complicated for you to speak up about, it is not too late to raise your voice. What is happening in Gaza - is different from the horrors happening in Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo because if you are in the west, it is happening in your name. It's happening with your tax money and with the help of your leaders. If you're in the US, your elected representatives - have delivered a standing ovation for the genocide. We are all complicit. Although some of us are far more complicit than others."
"So - again, think about what you want to say to future generations when they ask what you did at this very moment. Silence is NOT neutrality and your silence will not be forgotten. As Martin Luther King Jr said that ... “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
As we are trying to build a bridge 🌉 with zero resistance for electricity carried by electrons, we should think about the really long-distance communication effected by electricity. Oliver Heaviside's great success at theoretically making the transatlantic (great distance, surely for Earthlings !) cable practical (via inductance insertions which realign wave components with different frequencies to preserve the wave shape carrying the message's information) becomes important: https://www.google.com/search?q=is+telegrapher+equation+relativistic+physics
A scalar field was used to "bridge" over the classical relativistic and quantum nonrelativistic mechanics ! Haven't we been chasing a certain scalar field called the Higgs field in Big Science for decades and succeeded ?
All wave functions should be "factored" into two parts: time-dependent part (e^ i E/h t) and the non-time-dependent part.
"In reality, Fascism never went away. The West simply outsourced it ... to a client state, whose job was, on the West’s behalf, to advance in the Middle East the same ugly ideas of a hierarchy of human worth.
"We identify with Israel because we are told it represents us, our values & our civilisation. And the truth is, it does; which is why responsibility for 18 months of genocide in Gaza stops with us. This is now our genocide. And before it’s even complete, it is coming back to bite us."
A long, sustained detailed, disturbing read, that's well argued and referenced, leaving one thinking, just WTaF is actually going on?! Finally, consider this video ...
