I think some people might find offensive the notion that historical and brutal conflict can be ended by platitudes and a pep talk by mediocre celebrities.

"International law" is a joke.
Today if you're a terrorist organisation you can do whatever you like.
Russia, who seems to control the UN, does what it likes.
If you're a sponsor of terrorism you can obviously do whatever you like, but your victims are told to obey "International law".

But it is Hamas, not Israel, that fights with wanton disregard for Palestinian life.
Hamas launches offensives against Israel,from inside schools, next to hospitals, etc. all war crimes against both Israeli civilians and its own.

Hamas treats Palestinian women and children as propaganda assets that are most valuable when they are DEAD, hoping to turn Israeli concern for human rights into a weakness.


Representative Omar lamented Gaza does not have shelters, please pray for them.

Perhaps somebody could tell Omar that Gaza certainly does have shelters.

But Hamas uses them to store their rockets and bombs in.

If it wanted to protect the citizens of Gaza, Hamas could have spent more time building bunkers for its citizens and less time digging tunnels to try to break into Israel and murder Jews.

Omar must know this.

Just as she must know what she is doing when along with Tlaib and Rep. Cori Bush she used the massacre of Israelis to again call for cutting off US aid to Israel.

Everywhere, across America, other people have also given away precisely where they stand.

Think of the BLM group in Chiacgo that sent out a tweet praising the sick terrorists who flew into the Israeli music festival on hang-gliders.

Who could have imagined that anyone involved with BLM could be pro-violence?

Oh, another thing.

Hamas kills Palestinians it suspects of being gay.

And it spent the past weekend raping women beside the bodies of their dead friends.

DT today:

"UN urges Aussies to vote Yes in today's 'Voice' referendum."

LOL

UN, clueless as usual.

Vote Yes to what, exactly?
Albo's 'pig in a poke', "vote Yes and we'll work out all the details later' Indigenous "Voice" to Parliament?
Wise people will be voting NO.
bambu-wisdom will be NO.
Hopefully the majority of voters will too.

Federal (Indigenous woman) Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price .....( whose mother Bess Nungarrayi Price AM, former Member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, met Obama in the White House).....is a leading NO vote campaigner.

Nyunggai Warren Stephen Mundine AO (Order of Australia medal)...former Chairman of the rightist federal govt of Tony Abbott's ("The Monk") Indigenous Advisory Council....is a leader of the NO vote campaign.

Wise people, bambu-ilk stand with them.

Our stars have power, remember Edward James Olmos after the Rodney King riots when he came out with a push broom and started sweeping up signaling that the riots were over and it was time for peace and it was time to clean up the mess. The image of Edward James Olmos sweeping up after the riot had a lot of power with the community in Los Angeles.

Peaceful celebs such as Goldie Hawn have a lot of power, and should not be dismissed. And beautiful women such as Marli Buccola, and Mahlagha Jaberi, have some power. And Natalie Portman is a Jew with a Degree from Harvard, she can help in this crisis. Oprah Winfrey also has a lot of power in America.

And Pope Francis can help, and it would be great if the Saudis denounced Hamas and pleaded for peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

Terrorists cannot do whatever they like. Terrorism is a crime against International Law when it crosses national borders. They are hostis humani generis.

And civilized countries are required abide by the law even when faced with lawlessness for the same reason you are.

But it is Hamas, not Israel, that fights with wanton disregard for Palestinian life.
For the record, Israel just bombed three convoys of evacuees from Northern Gaza, killing 70 Palesintian internal refugees. Maybe insert the word "more" in there, because there do seem to be times.whe. Israel has taken a "let God.sort them out" approach to civilian casualties.

That does not make the humanitarian tragedy less acute.

Of course it does.  Hamas gives a shit about its citizens. Same as Hitler.

Which is exactly why Ukraine, Taiwan, and Australia etc should be seriously worried.

40% of our children in the public schools in Beverly Hills, California, are from Iran.

We need to bring our communities together all as Americans. We have some all inclusive groups that accept people of all religions, such as the Cub Scouts, and the Girl Scouts, and then there is the Key Club for the teens, and as people get older then there is Kiwanis, etc, we have some good clubs that accept people of all faiths. We have some great all inclusive clubs. We need to reach out to our new arrivals, and we need to invite them to join our clubs.

Steven Spielberg lives in Santa Monica, and Santa Monica has Kiwanis International, and Kiwanis is all inclusive, everyone is welcome to join Kiwanis International.

Fucking HOW?

Kiwanis already has a GLOBAL network of over six million people, including having clubs in Egypt, guys like Elon Musk can fund Kiwanis to smuggle the people from Gaza to Abu Dhabi and to Dubai. And the UN can help, and UNICEF, etc. The children for sure must be helped to escape. The children are innocent.

It is a bad time for the House to be shut down, they are idiots. They need to put the people first and they can fuck off with their partisan bullshit.

And guys like Richard Branson, and Elon Musk, and other rich people, can fund Kiwanis to help the children to escape from Gaza to Abu Dhabi and to Dubai. And UNICEF and the UN can help.

Pope Francis can help, and the Saudis can help, and the Saudis can plead for peace and they can denounce Hamas.
