Back to work.

End of summer and end of vacation always makes me somewhat sad.

I liked not having to march to a clock that wasn't of my own timing.

At least I got some things accomplished. Let's hope I can keep the momentum going.

For me, the last day in August is the end of Summer.

What better way to celebrate the time, than with memories from then?

Still don't think Israel is not accelerating both their desire to incite a regional war, AND continue destroying the Palestinian people and their land?

Think again - the facts say otherwise.

Israel Launches Major West Bank Raid as Israeli Minister Vows Gaza-Like Attack

August 29, 2024 

By Sharon Zhang / Truthout

Israel has embarked on its largest raid of the occupied West Bank in decades, launching attacks from the land and air against areas home to 80,000 Palestinians as Israel’s foreign minister is pledging “war” using the same genocidal tactics the Israeli military has used on Gaza.

Israel has attacked the West Bank with drone strikes and deployed military vehicles on the ground, with troops opening fire on Palestinians. Israeli forces are shutting down and destroying roads with bulldozers leading to Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas in the northern West Bank, effectively cutting the cities off from the rest of the West Bank. Jenin has a population of roughly 39,000 Palestinians.

The raid is especially sinister as it comes amid Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which experts say has been an opportunity for Israeli forces to test and hone violence against Palestinians. Alarmingly, Foreign Affairs Minister Israel Katz pledged that Israeli forces would handle the occupied West Bank the same way it has Gaza — where it has isolated the population and then carried out a genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign of unprecedented proportions.

 

 

Quote of the day - 08-29-2024

Sean Blackmon -

"There's nothing magical about Kamala's blackness or her womanhood that is going to make her class interest the same as the class interests of poor or working people in this country, black people in general, or around the world. And history shows this conclusively."

Can no longer be silent on the ongoing genocide/crimes Israel is doing in Palestine.

This is now what I say to people - > to remain silent in a situation of injustice benefits the criminal over the victim.

Or to quote the late Desmond Tutu -

'If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.'

The chips that were made into shells.

So what are the differences between 'Blue-No-Matter-Who' and 'MAGA-Red'?

• One group cheers loudly when the US crapitalist ruling class kills brown and black people.
• The other group cheer loudly the US crapitalist ruling class kills brown and black people, but pretends they feel bad about it.

To be more blunt -

One uses lube when fucking your over, the other doesn't.

Next time you hear someone from one of those groups telling you that the other is the 'bad guy' and that their side is the one of the 'good guys', give them this analogy -

Imagine that someone from your side is driving down a street, heading to a highway to head say north.

But as soon as you get to that highway, you see a roadblock, and are unable to get on the highway. And that the their is a huge traffic logjam in front of you. Additionally by the time you stop, a traffic logjam forms behind you.

You can't go forward. You can't go back. 

You are stuck, and there's no way to get out, and there is no one to help you. 

Now imagine that someone from that other group (the one you consider evil) is coming from other side of the same street, -> on the other side of the highway. They too are headed to the same highway as you are, only they are entering it from the opposite side, and ... they want to enter the highway and head south. 

And when they arrive, they also encounter a roadblock - and are also unable to get on the highway. And there is huge logjam in front of them. And by the time they stop, a traffic logjam forms behind them.

They are stuck, and there is no way to get out, and there is no one to help them - just like you.

That is the difference between Blue-No-Mattter-Who   and MAGA-Red. They end up in the same place; where the US crapitalist ruling class wins.

And while it's true they start from different places - while it's true they offer 'cultural' and 'visible' differences to attract different voters - they both end up supporting the ruling class' wishes.
