Evangelical Christians can be Zionists, too
"Never again" means no more genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and racist war crimes against anyone anywhere. Jews used to believe it, but many have now been hoodwinked into thinking it only applied to them, mostly referring to elitist Ashkenazi (European) Jews. Consider The Nakba(the "Catastrophe") is The Holocaust committed by Zionist Jews for the past 75 years, which continues in Palestine, Gaza, the West Bank, and parts of Jerusalem, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and is coming to the rest of the geopolitical Middle East soon.
It's Bisan from Gaza, and Israel even took our rubble
They bombed our Gaza concentration camp.
(AJ+) It's Bisan in the rubble of Gaza, Palestine, where Israel even took away the rubble [and all the bodies buried under it so the IDF can't be proven to have committed an even larger Holocaust (Nakba) in their latest genocide, ethnic cleansing, and series of atrocities, international war crimes, and crimes against humanity by having DNA to test and proven another child was beheaded, another woman killed, another innocent elder slaughtered, to say nothing of all the young males automatically classified "combatants" suitable for murdering just because they were able-bodied and male of a certain age that they might have posed a danger to the Zionist Jewish settler colonial project at some point.
Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: On August 6th and 9th in 1945, American war criminals of the United States military-industrial complex (combatants and scientists, propagandists and politicians) detonated two atomic bombs over innocent and defenseless civilians in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively.
This was during World War II (after the U.S. used the anticipated attack of Pearl Harbor as its pretext for entering the war, moving major assets out to sea ahead of time to protect them, leaving behind old equipment and sitting ducks, U.S. GIs, to be sacrificed for propaganda purposes).
America's aerial bombings murdered between 150,000 and 246,000 helpless civilians, most of them not involved in the conflict. This remains the only use of nuclear weapons on humans in an armed conflict.
Japan announced its forced surrender to the Allies on August 15th, six days after the war crime bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against crippled Japan and invasion of Manchuria.
The Japanese government was forced in humiliation to sign an instrument of surrender on September 2, 1945, bringing about the end of overt war and ushering in decades of cold war hostilities that continue in varying forms up to the present. More

“Stop profiting off genocide”: 200 arrested at Jewish Voice for Peace protest at New York Stock Exchange
(Democracy Now!) Oct. 15, 2024: “Stop profiting off genocide” is the slogan shouted toward Israeli Jews and Christian Zionists.
We stand with Gaza and peace!
Then 200 mostly Jews were arrested at this Jewish Voice for Peace (jvp.org) protest in front of the NYSE.
“There is nothing antisemitic about fighting for people’s right to live,” says Jewish Voice for Peace organizer Elena Stein, who on Monday joined hundreds of protesters arrested to block entrances to the New York Stock Exchange.
DN! discusses the historic mass protest, which called for a U.S. arms embargo against Israel and an end to war-profiteering by American corporations like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
Zionism (Western imperialism) is not Judaism. We refuse war criminals Netanyahu and Biden!
It's because I'm Jewish that I say NO to genocide
“We are filled with horror beyond words and are attempting to embody just an ounce of that refusal,” Stein says of the moral urgency of protesting Israel’s actions in the Middle East, which she describes as a “war of extermination…done with U.S. cover.”
She says JVP chose the stock exchange in order to draw attention to the role of U.S. financial and corporate interests in arming the Israeli military.

“The first live-streamed genocide”: Al Jazeera exposes war crimes Israeli troops filmed themselves
This is what Israeli Jews think of Bibi Netanyahu
(Democracy Now!)
Oct. 9, 2024: A new documentary from Al Jazeera English takes a look at evidence of WAR CRIMES by Israel in Gaza in the form of social media posted by Israeli soldiers recording themselves doing them and celebrating their own attacks on Palestinians, whom they dehumanize and refer to with disgust as "Arabs."
(Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!) What are the world headlines today?
Look how we kill civilians with US help
Democracy Now! play excerpts from the film Investigating War Crimes in Gaza, now available online, and speaks to two of the journalists involved in its production, Director Richard Sanders and Gaza-based Correspondent Youmna ElSayed.
“Israelis themselves were telling us precisely what they were doing and why they were doing it,” says Sanders about the evidence the team reviewed.
Killing Arab children is our goal. We're proud.
“They don’t think it’s complicated. They don’t think it’s nuanced. Their rhetoric is often overtly genocidal.”
ElSayed adds, “They’ve had all the courage to do that because they know that they are not even going to be condemned.” More
Israel preemptively launches attacks on Lebanon, warns of Hezbollah response
(Al Jazeera English) Aug. 24, 2024: Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport has suspended operations, delaying incoming flights after the Israeli military (state-sponsored militant terrorists of the IDF) launched a series of strikes on neighboring Lebanon.
The offensive Israeli forces say they've launched pre-emptive strikes on presumed Hezbollah positions after, accusing the armed group of preparing to launch an extensive attack.
There's been concern in recent weeks that Hezbollah, along with Iran, were planning to retaliate after Israel's illegal assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Inran, and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut.
Israeli Army Radio and The Times of Israel are reporting that residents of northern Israel have been warned to take cover as air raid sirens blared in the Western Galilee, Acre, Kiryat Shmona, and other areas.
Israeli Army spokesman Daniel Hagari is trying to claim that Israel is attacking in advance in "self-defense" against Hezbollah.
Hezbollah says it began the attack on Israel with a large number of drones in response to its top military commander Fuad Shukr's assassination in Beirut last month.
Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr is monitoring the latest developments from Beirut. #Lebanon #Israel #Hezbollah
I want to kill them all, and the Iranians, too, Blinken. - Sounds good, Bibi. Kamala is behind you.
.
Will you tell talk to KH? - She's in the bag, Bibi!
The Israeli military is preemptively striking Lebanon [and likely killing innocent civilians] in a new series of war crimes that began a few hours ago.
Its excuse is that it says these preemptive bombings are on “terror targets in Lebanon” after thinking that Hezbollah was “preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory” because Israel, against international law, assassinated a military official in another country, provoking the region.
US-funded bombs shot by Israel hit Lebanon
Middle East crisis live: Hezbollah retaliates with weak rockets after Israel started it by launching severe airstrikes on Lebanon (The Independent via MSN)
[Israel seems to be doing all it can do to provoke an attack from Iran so that it can use that as a pretext to pull the U.S. military into a war that keeps PM Netanyahu in office so that he does not face the court cases against him or the mobs of Israeli Jewish citizens calling for his ouster and prosecution as a corrupt politician and war criminal.]
“A short while ago, the IDF identified [?] the Hezbollah terrorist organization preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory,” Israel Defense Force spokesperson Daniel Hagari said early Sunday local time.
End all U.S. military supplies to Israel
“In a self-defense act [that in no way can be called an internationally condemned war crime, except by the International Court of Justice] to remove these [imagined] threats [after we struck them], the IDF is striking terror targets in Lebanon [to start the fight], from which [we think] Hezbollah was planning to launch their attacks on Israeli civilians,” Hagari added.
The IDF said approximately 200 rockets had been launched from Lebanon towards Israel early Sunday.
Flights from Israel's Tel Aviv airport will be temporarily suspended Sunday morning, the airport authority said, after the Israeli military said it is conducting preemptive strikes on Lebanon [to kill civilians and anyone else that is to become "collateral" damage from the IDF's aggressive war crimes].
You wouldn't poison the peace dove, would you?
The Golan Regional Council has instructed all residents in the Israeli-illegally-occupied Golan Heights to remain near shelters until further notice, canceling agricultural, educational, and other public activity.
The Israeli military and [someone in Lebanon we think is] Hezbollah have been exchanging fire for months, and the cross-border hostilities have raised the specter of a regional conflagration which have prompted intense diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions.
Corrupt Benjamin Netanyahu is a baby killer!
Israel’s latest strike aimed at Hezbollah targets in Lebanon come after its military said on Saturday that it was prepared for any possible retaliatory attacks by Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah or Iran for the killings of their senior leaders. The news comes amid claims in the Israeli media that there are situational assessments that Hezbollah could attack soon.
Rocket fire toward Israel by Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon has become a near-daily occurrence since the outbreak of war in Gaza, but there has been an increasing number of skirmishes.
On Friday, Hezbollah had claimed 15 strikes against Israel. Hezbollah also acknowledged the death of seven fighters on Friday but did not specify where or when they were killed.
The IDF said a total of 110 projectiles were launched from Lebanon towards Israel on Friday, marking one of the fiercest days of cross-border fire in recent weeks.

I wouldn't vote for Old Man Trump even if I were his daughter having sex with him!
When I said, "Vote for the old white guy," I meant Joe Biden, and now I mean Tim Walz.

Gawd, what a loser and a liar Trump is.
Regressive Republican presidential nominee Old Man Trump has posted fake images suggesting that pop star Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift and her legion of fans are backing him in the upcoming United States election.
DJ Trump posted the images, all of which appear to be AI-generated deepfakes taken from right-wing social media accounts with a history of sharing misinformation, along with a message saying, “I accept!”
Love you, Swifties. Vote for me. Tay Tay wants you to. Don't vote for the girl candidate.
One image shows smiling Swift fans, known as Swifties, wearing t-shirts reading: “Swifties for Trump.” Another depicts Swift dressed as Uncle Sam, a character from a WW I US Army recruitment poster, urging people to vote for Trump. More(Al Jazeera, The Independent)
Warlords Sec'y of State Ant Blinken and Commander-in-Chief Genocide Joe Biden are sending all of the weapons and monies promised to Israel, covertly and overtly, in secret and in the media, so the administration really doesn't know what CIA-and-Mossad-back Dictator Bibi Netanyahu is griping about in the media. Bibi made a video criticizing G.I. Joe and complaining about his administration. All but one shipment is on its way on time, and the only one that's slowed down was announced, so why is Bibi whining? (It all seems like a psyop to get even more weapons and money to fund the genocide when the prime minister is invited to a joint session of Congress in Washington, DC to demand it. No money for weapons, no money or diplomatic cover for genocide! Stop Israel now!
Andy Basiago has tangible evidence like this.
The ballot box seems the only solution. Let's see what our choices are. There's Genocide Joe, he's giving funds to Israel. There's Orangeman Don, he's promising funds to Israel. There's Independent RFK, he's pledged to support Israel all the way. There's Green Party candidate Jill Stein, she's Jewish but stands for peace. Will she support a Jewish state? Will she have a choice? There's nothing like power to find out. There's Cornel West, he's drowned out in the media and not taken the least bit seriously. There's write-in candidate Andrew D. Basiago, our choice but he may not be running as he was involved in Project Pegasus, a US program utilizing time travel in secret. Attorney Basiago is a whistleblower and wants to expose all of our black budget programs, secret operations, and the fact that we have had advanced technology (including the mind-boggling practice of time travel) to have a transparent US government.
Sure, Prime Minister Benyamin "Bibi" Netanyahu is an SOB but he's our SOB (CIA)
We are not the Gestapo. I am not Hitler. This is Israel, the most moral genocide in the world.
.
Adolf was on meth. What's Bibi's excuse?
Israel's war crimes keep mounting. Never mind that it's Holocaust Remembrance Day. War criminal and Zionist Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu seems to have chosen today to launch a killing offensive, invading the safe city of Rafah, where Palestinians were driven, herded, starved, and now told to move again or be firebombed and/or shot to death by invading IDF troops struggling to ethnically cleanse the area of all non-Jews.
To advance its genocide, it has bombed schools, shut down all hospitals, lied to the media, murdered journalists, aid workers, and innocents, including executed under the Hannibal Doctrine on the first day of its counter aggression and ever since. Today's atrocity is the shutting down of any opposing view or perspective by making illegal the Qatari news agency Al Jazeera.
Secret weapons and public relations propaganda
Why AJ+? It is the only outlet in Israel that has correspondents embedded in Gaza. And the one thing a propaganda war and aerial bombardment in furtherance of a genocide cannot stand is the truth getting out. AJ had to be stopped to shore up the narrative the Mossad, IDF, Knesset, and PR firms working for the "State" of Israel want to promote after any given atrocity.
“Criminal act”: Israel bans Al Jazeera, the largest int’l news organization in Gaza, ahead of Israel's invasion of Rafah
(May 6, '24) GUEST: Managing Editor of Al Jazeera Mohamed Moawad (LINKS), Democracy Now!
Where are we on the Jewish question, men? - Yes.
As Israel's death toll in Gaza soars to more than 34,700 dead and more than 70,000 maimed, and countless more injured and traumatized, Zionist Jewish Israeli authorities have taken Al Jazeera off the air in Israel -- sending stormtroopers to destroy their offices and steal their equipment, ensuring their destruction and ability to report anything they see -- and ordered civilian Palestinians in eastern Rafah to be ethnically cleansed, forcibly relocated, and evacuated ahead of Israel's impending offensive in the region.
I am the dictator! The CIA installed me, not you!
“The Israeli government is trying to conceal what’s happening in Gaza and trying to intimidate Al Jazeera…[to] delegitimize the whole coverage,” says Al Jazeera’s Managing Editor Moawad, explaining this is “a strategy” to “try to make sure that the story doesn’t reach the world.”
Attack! Kill as many as you can. We'll be there
Over the past eight months, Al Jazeera has been one of the only international outlets with reporters on the ground inside Gaza during the extermination, where all its journalists have been targeted and at least three of its employees have been killed during Israel’s monthslong assault.
Israel has been threatening to ban Al Jazeera for “incitement” via “a series of intimidations” for months, culminating in “a criminal act,” says Moawad. He calls on the international community, including the U.S. government, to condemn Israel’s suppression of a free press.
