Is it like joe biden says, that we only have one job to do and that is defeat donald trump?
Not to me, the only job we as common citizens have to do is to defeat fascism because it is anti-thetically opposed to any basic principles of freedom, equality, and peace. We have the additional obligation to defeat the military/ industrial control of the us economy.
There are two principal issues surrounding the october 7th attack by hamas which are very similar to the secrecy surrounding the 9/11 attacks in america. In fact, right after the attack the news immediately likened this Oct attack to an Israeli 9/11.
1. It's claimed that america gave a warning to Israel about a possible attack. Anyone who defends Israel genocide can say a warning does not constitute Israeli upping its security based on that. I would remind any of that by saying a country that on a drop of a hat reacts, overreacts to any possibility of attack, it would be hard to believe that israel would ignore it. (It's also claimed that Israel had pulled its military to the west bank because of issues there)
2. It's being said that many israelis were killed on oct 7 by friendly fire but also civilians in israel are sanctioned military recruits, many of whom were captured or killed, wounded in defense of Israel.
Let's face it, israel has been at war with palestinians for seventy years. No one can deny that the political, cultural, economic relationship between israel and palestinians has been anything other than tyrannical.
If the proclamation emancipation had freed slaves but immediately all black people were sent to an enclave outside Richmond, Virginia, like an open-air prison, we would have to look at the pure inhumanity of that. Yes, there was segregation, discrimination, economic sanctions here since 1863 but not like what's happening in gaza, the west bank, or in many other sanctioned areas of the world.
One does not suffer more than another suffers, suffering is suffering. It's not relative to whatever rationalizations supremacy characterizes itself.
