An extension of Usa or Protectorate, Israel, much to the horror of the world, is hellbent on complete annihilation of an entire People, Palestinians.
Biden & Co madly aiding and abetting.

Back when Abu Ghraib nightmare came to light, social media was fledgling and domestic reaction was not out and out disbelief and outcry.
At that time, the west hated the Islamic world and deep down Americans especially, felt a sense of self-righteous satisfaction. Muslim ‘animals’ deserved brutalization.

Our founding pillars you talk about are chimeras as many of us now recognize. It’s a bit of heartbreak and shame actually, for those of us who were proud to be naturalized.

The fact that we are allowing Genocide of Palestinians diminishes us to the point where along with with Israel, to be painted with the same paintbrush of heavy blood pigment, has become a deserved outcome.

We Americans seem to normalize and imbibe Genocide with the greatest of ease. History books are vacuous and replete with hollow claims. I refer to wiping out indigenous Americans and then the Holocaust of Slavery and it’s aftermath.

We have lost face and fallen from Grace. Not only in the eyes of the world but in our souls. Its a betrayal of good Americans who are out in the streets every day in solidarity with Palestine and struggle to put bread on the table. It’s our tax $$$s after all which go to a terrorist state in the way of deadly state of the art weaponry and aid.

Thank you for sharing this article. It’s a much needed reminder of who we really are.
