The people of Israel, in their self-described democracy of values, morality, and equity, see this.
Surely, as people of God, they will flood the streets demanding an end to the indiscriminate killing of children, of families, of elderly, of their own hostages. Surely.

“There is no God but God, Muhammad is his messenger,” the paramedic is heard saying. He asks God for forgiveness and says he knows he is going to die.
“Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose — to help people,” he said. “Allahu akbar,” God is great, he says.

Doing this performative gesture *after* the bill giving Trump the keys to the congressional purse sums up the majority of the current “opposition” efforts of the Democratic Party.

I received a fundraising request from this organization last week — this org still has not said a word about these very serious allegations of harm to children. Prayers that even one victim feels seen and finds their way to justice.

Leonard Peltier is going home. A powerful moment for his family, his tribe, for all of Indian Country.
Peltier unjustly lost his freedom for the killings of two federal agents.
It is unjust to not speak of Annie Mae Aquash, who lost her life. Of her family who never received justice.
