OPEN LETTER FROM AMERICAN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO SERVED IN GAZA
... Children are universally considered innocents in armed conflict. However, every single signatory to this letter saw children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us who worked in an emergency, intensive care, or surgical setting treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head or chest on a regular or even a daily basis. It is impossible that such widespread shooting of young children throughout Gaza, sustained over the course of an entire year is accidental or unknown to the highest Israeli civilian and military authorities.
President Biden and Vice President Harris, we wish you could see the nightmares that plague so many of us since we have returned: dreams of children maimed and mutilated by our weapons, and their inconsolable mothers begging us to save them. We wish you could hear the cries and screams our consciences will not let us forget. We cannot fathom why you continue arming the country that is deliberately killing these children en masse.
... These observations and the publicly available material detailed in the appendix lead us to believe that the death toll from this conflict is many times higher than what is reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health. We also believe this is probative evidence of widespread violations of American laws governing the use of American weapons abroad, and of International Humanitarian Law. We cannot forget scenes of unbearable cruelty directed at women and children that our government is a direct participant in.
... the United States can impose a ceasefire on the warring parties by simply stopping arms shipments to Israel, and announcing that we will participate in an international arms embargo on both Israel and all Palestinian armed groups. We stress what many others have repeatedly told you over the past year: American law is perfectly clear on this matter, continuing to arm Israel is illegal.

If only Rachel Maddow
would scream at the top of her lunges about the horrors of this wanton slaughter all night every night on MSNBC like she did about Russia Gate, then something positive might happen. But who am I fooling. She sold her soul a long time ago and there's no money to be made in advocating for peace and an end to war.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
Sadly Biden will ignore the report
.
just like he ignored the one from 200 American doctors who detailed the atrocities they saw.
I didn’t read either report. I just can’t understand how anyone can treat children like they don’t matter.
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
The takeaway is
that none of us matter.
To the elite, we are just the useless eaters that make traffic jams and eat all the arugula. We are in the way, just as the children here and the whales there and the trees somewhere else.
The sooner we all just die off and give them all the Liebensraum they clearly desire, the happier they will be. Our blood, and our tears, are as nothing.
Humanity doesn’t enter into it. There are pockets to be lined.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
I can’t understand that either
I guess that’s a good thing because it means I’m not evil. Good gravy they have money and power and still they aren’t happy until we’re all dead.

And
not even then. When we are all gone, the survivors will turn upon one another, until only one is left- and they will then commit suicide, having no remaining audience to whom to proclaim their greatness, and from whom to demand obeisance.
I just want to wake up not dead tomorrow. The things that motivate our psychopathic Betters are completely opaque to me. The older I get, the less I understand.

Here's what -I- don't understand...
...The whole (non-brainwashed/insulated/cowardly) world knows this about them.
Where are the vigilantes?!?
There has been one of which I am aware, and where he popped up would surely be regarded by many as surprising:

I know at least one person there who openly deems him a hero, too.

The world as explained through Trump Derangement Syndrome
Trump was horrible, you see, and we all died, only to be magically reincarnated in 2020 through the intervention of God Himself so we could vote for our savior Joe Biden. So you better vote for Biden's stand-in!
There's nothing wrong with Joe, even though he was about to be subject to the 25th Amendment, and so we're voting for his stand-in while he remains as our Pseudo-President. This is so because Joe, like his stand-in, has the magical quality of being Not Donald Trump. Jill Stein does not have this quality. We know for a fact that Trump walks into phonebooths when nobody is watching, much in the fashion of Clark Kent, and comes out having morphed into Jill Stein.
All Stein votes, therefore, will be counted as Trump votes, but we have to save democracy by voting for the stand-in even though we don't have any democracy because they're not counting votes properly.
Sure, Joe is directly responsible for a genocide, one which the medical professionals know for a fact is happening (see above), and one which will place a stain upon memories of America for centuries to come. But Trump would have killed them all twice, and that's worse or something.
The ruling elites, you see, are totally kewl, especially when they create likely scenarios in which everyone on Earth is obliterated. But that's okay, because they're okay. The problem, you see, is Trump.
Meanwhile, the actual physical Trump is convinced that Iran is out to a********** him. Eventually some well-brainwashed patsy for the shadow government will do the deed, and Trump will imagine in his last moment that Iran did it.
