Colonizing regime = Netanyahu and Trump's dispositions captured fully.

Democrats are "gnats" that need to be dealt with.

Palestinians should be removed from Gaza.

Kushner is on site for personal financial interests once again.

Netanyahu has pretty much bombed everything already.

Yes, oppression is where it starts, the cause. Our leaders are unwilling to engage there, however.

And we shouldn't forget that the Israelis gunned down over 200 Palestinians in Gaza when they peacefully demonstrated with the Great March of Return in 2018. So much for peaceful protest.

Kars for Kids: Part of the American Jewish Propaganda Machine(AJPM)

The Jewish AIPAC(American Israel Public Affairs Committee) knows how to throw their weight around They terminated Jamaal Bowman’s political career and then later Andy Levine a Jewish fellow who made the mistake of going counter to the AJPM

The Kars for Kids ad that frequently shows on MSNBC is a front for the American Jewish community, a nonprofit that raises funds for youth development, educational, and mentoring programs by accepting car and property donations How much of that money goes back to the motherland to fund the Israeli genocide?

It’s great that prominent Jewish celebrities like Jon Stewart and Peter Beinart to stand up against the AJPM and voice their criticism of the Israeli government about the Israeli country’s Holocaust of the Palestinian people Even mass protests are occurring in Israel against this horrific humanitarian atrocity being waged against the Palestinians Zohran Mamdami has even bridged this cultural gap with the NY Jewish population who have supported his candidacy for NY mayor The DNC should pay attention and not be influenced by such people as Simon Rosenberg(Hopium Chronicles substack channel….consider not supporting)

On November 27, 1967, Charles de Gaulle then the french President gave a news conference about the general geopolitical actuality of the time. That news conference became famous for a few words that were considered by some antisemitic (he said the Jewish People was "an Elite, self-confident and domineering people"), declaration that generated a torrent of comments. But those few words were not, and by far, the most important part of the news conference. He was asked about the situation in the newly occupied territories that Israel had taken control of in the recent war.

He said : "Israel having attacked, seized, in six days of combat, the objectives it wanted to achieve. Now, it organizes, on the territories it took, the occupation which cannot go without oppression, repression, expulsions, and there is resistance against it, which in turn it describes as terrorism."

It was in 1967. Decades before the creation of Hamas. 58 years ago. And still true.

Your argument is correct and until recently much of the world believed the Israeli propaganda or were simply ignorant of the dreadful circumstances facing Palestinians. At least now the world is awake and will never forget ( nor forgive Israel its lies, propaganda of Jewish victimhood, dehumanization of the Palestinian people and outright terrorizing of same.
