Ruth Bader Ginsburg… If only she had supported equal rights for everyone

Ruth Bader Ginsburg… If only she had supported equal rights for everyone

Ruth Bader Ginsburg commanded immense respect, adulation, and influence. She spoke out against racism and discrimination, and has been called ‘a revolutionary.’

Some have written: ‘Even to the end of her life, she remained committed to our mantra: None are free, until all are free…’ Progressive groups are sending out emails about continuing ‘her legacy’ of ‘fighting for justice…’ New York is planning to erect a statue in her honor…

Imagine the impact she could have had if she’d included Palestinians in her concerns, and spoken out against Israeli violence and apartheid, instead of remaining silent and endorsing Israel – established and maintained through ethnic cleansing…

Democrats Go All-Out for Israel

Democrats Go All-Out for Israel

Israel for its part has played its cards carefully. It knows that either Biden or Trump will do whatever it wants, but it has deferred its planned annexation of much of the Palestinian West Bank, which will now take place after the election. It did that knowing that otherwise some liberals in the Democratic Party might try to turn Israel into an issue and split the Jewish community while also alienating Jewish donors and some Jewish voters if the annexation had taken place. After November 3rd, no matter who wins Israel will benefit and will have a free hand to do anything it wishes to the Palestinians. Or perhaps one should say the “remaining Palestinians” until they are all gone.

Peter Thiel Met With The Racist Fringe As He Went All In On Trump

Peter Thiel Met With The Racist Fringe As He Went All In On Trump

Thiel’s ideas continue to find their way into policies. He pushed for the Trump administration to ramp up its trade war with China and, according to the Wall Street Journal, accompanied Zuckerberg to a White House dinner with Trump and Jared Kushner, where the Facebook CEO raised concerns about rival TikTok. (Zuckerberg has since told employees that he doesn’t think TikTok came up as a discussion topic at the meal.)

Thiel’s line of thinking that American companies doing business in China amounts to providing technology to the Chinese Communist Party has also been parroted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. This January, ahead of a speech at Stanford University in which Pompeo railed on China for its human rights abuses, he met privately with Thiel, according to two people familiar with the event.

Explaining Nikki Haley’s Racism toward Palestinians

But of course, the Indian-American from an immigrant family (did they come on a H1-B visa of the sort Trump is attempting to get rid of?) has done whatever she can to escape her past. She adopted Christian Zionism if not all the appurtenances of Evangelicalism. She threw in with the anti-immigrant, white nationalist Trump administration. And now she is delighting in helping crush the Palestinians the way Indian Moghul Emperor Aurangzeb crushed her Sikh ancestors. She even tried to whitewash Trump’s history of sexual harassment. Trump’s one-time campaign manager, Steve Bannon, once went to Silicon Valley and noticed all the Indian-American software engineers, and is said to have wondered, “Why are these people here?” Nimrata has attempted to escape her own subalternity in order to pretend to be part of an elite that will never really accept her.

The Israeli settler-colonial expansionist ambitions behind the color revolution in Lebanon

The Israeli settler-colonial expansionist ambitions behind the color revolution in Lebanon by Rainer Shea

This plan started with the vision for settler-colonial development that was laid out nearly a century ago by the World Zionist Organization. The colonists wanted to create a Jewish state that consisted not just of historic Palestine, but of southern Lebanon, Syria’s Golan Heights, and the land that stretches between Jordan and the Gulf of Aqaba to the south. The most ambitious colonization plans envisioned an absorption of southern Turkey, the land around the Nile, and the land around the Euphrates. Such a state would encompass land from Egypt to the easternmost stretch of Iraq.
