The hypocrisy – while Americans want to support #Ukraine, they do the exact opposite and support the Nazi-like state of israel and participate in stealing and occupying #Palestinian homes!

1. Israel is a peaceful “country” – well, it’s not a country. It is not peaceful
2. He said about 300 “Palestinian rioters” entered the Al Aqsa mosque with stones and fireworks and “desecrated” their own mosque, preventing “80,000 decent Muslims” from praying at Al Aqsa!
3. He said it was his duty to ensure that Muslims can pray freely, blah blah blah so that’s why he sent his forces in!
4. Mr. Bennet, you’re the ultimate liar.

Here’s why:

1. No, 300 Palestinians did not enter the mosque and desecrated their own mosque. That’s the first lie. Videos show Palestinians under attack by the most immoral israeli forces, seeking protection INSIDE the Al Aqsa mosque.
2. If you wanted to have Muslims pray freely, then why did your forces BEAT UP Palestinian women, children, and the elderly on the outside?
3. Why did you prevent Christians from entering the Church of Holy Sepulcher?

AND HERE’S THE PROOF THAT DEBUNKS Bennet’s claims and exposes his lies.

Below, “Peaceful” israeli scumbag settlers terrorizing Palestinians and being protected by the most immoral army in the world:

Who’s UNDER ATTACK HERE?

.

By Dr. Hatem Bazian*.

1. The people of Ukraine are “European people with blue eyes and blonde hair being killed” while Palestinians are Arab and have a darker complexion. Lesson one, empathy and recognition of pain and suffering is color-coded and race still matters in 2022.

2. Palestine, like Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria where violence is normal and death is “baked” into the culture while Ukraine is a “European city” that is modern and advanced and these things are not supposed to happen in this area. Lesson two, Western and European history is but a long series of erasures, amnesia, and deeply held views of exceptionalism.

3. Volunteering to fight in defense of Ukraine from outside is a heroic act, which indeed it is, but volunteering to resist settler colonialism and Apartheid is framed as “terrorism” by Western powers. Lesson three, Palestinians are demonized no matter what heroic acts they undertake.

4. When an officer in Ukraine blows himself and destroys a bridge to prevent the Russian from advancing then he is celebrated for this sacrifice. Lesson four, Palestinians are demonized for merely being Palestinians, and any and all resistance are framed as terrorism.

5. Sports teams and famous sports figures can express solidarity and carry the Ukrainian flag, post messages on the electronic boards, and demonstrate this on the playfield, which is all very positive and players should have the right and ability to do it. However, Palestine is an exception when it comes to sports figures expressing any support for the Palestinians who are living under settler-colonial occupation structured with an embedded Apartheid system of racial-religious segregation. Lesson five, the sports administrative structure hands out fines and sanctions (red card) for anyone who expresses support for Palestine including on the occasion of fans hoisting Palestinian flags in the stands.

6. Calls for sending weapons to Ukraine so as to resist and fight Russian invasion and occupation are supported and expressed as a fundamental right for people facing such an enemy. Anyone who calls for supporting the Palestinians by sending military equipment or items to strengthen the resistance is criminalized and often imprisonment under the spacious law designation of material support. Lesson six, Palestinians don’t have the right to defend themselves but must accept to be occupied and the world community is committed to funding and extending all types of support to the settler-colonial occupier.

7. For Ukraine, international law advocates in the Western world brought out the defense of the 4th Geneva Convention, brushed up on definitions of war crimes and genocide but none of this applies to Palestine and Palestinians. One can add most of the Global South and the Muslim World suffer the same type of double standards when it comes to international law and the 4th Geneva Convention. If you have a doubt for a moment then ask the Afghans, Iraqis, and Syrians on this single point then we can have a large discussion. Lesson seven, Palestinians are made to live outside the scope of international law and the Western world delivers the weapons and instruments used by Israel to violate the 4th Geneva Convention and the Convention on Genocide. The Ukraine invasion made this very clear.

8. Media coverage rightly focused on the victims of the Russian invasion and the human stories with people taking weapons to defend their families, homes, and cities. Palestine always faces the media coverage that amplifies, humanizes, and centers the narrative of the settler-colonial occupation, while erasing or often problematizing Palestinian narrative in the often deployed euphemism of death during “clashes”, Israel having the right to defend itself or responding to rocket firing. Lesson eight, Palestinians are made to be the guilty party for wanting to live on their land and having the audacity to insist on it. Double standard and culpability of the Western world in furthering settler colonialism in Palestine.

9. Educational institutions across the Western World expressed solidarity with Ukraine, again rightly so when a people face an invasion. Last April-May period, Israel launched a massive attack on the Palestinians on the holiest night of Ramadan, the 27th Night of Ramadan, then followed by a massive bombardment of Gaza. When faculty members, departments, and students at universities expressed solidarity with Palestine and Palestinians, a steady stream of political figures, University presidents and media figures insisted that colleges and universities should not be politicized and to make sure that their internal policies prevent them from expressing such solidarity positions. Lesson nine, Palestine on college campuses always meets the administration, Zionist and settler-colonial checkpoints that are structured to prevent solidarity with the Palestinians.

10. The push for boycott, divestment, and sanctions on Russia are moving faster than the speed of light and often by the same set of characters that pushed for legislation to criminalize and punish the Palestinian BDS movement. Lesson ten, Palestine faces the constant double standard on the BDS front, free speech, and constitutional rights. No clear evidence of double standard than to listen to the same individuals and groups who now are on the front line of seeking legislation to authorize BDS effort directed at Russia while on record opposing the Palestinian BDS Movement.

This sums it up!

Our failure in Afghanistan is based on our ARROGANCE thinking we can change the world, beliefs and cultures with a few trillion dollars that we – well, did not have better use for!

Then we start bombarding the media with how these “terrorists” are taking over.

We’re simply trying to deflect from the fact that we failed – again!

Our foreign policy – is pathethic.

Our involvement in the world is sort of like mercenaries on steroids.

Our troops have been lied to while the politicians (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush and the other clowns) have made billion$ while some of our troops become mostly homeless when they return….

Wake Up America! Is this where your tax dollars should go?

Hundreds of Palestinians struggle to see a future as Israel demolishes homes and businesses in occupied territories.

Hundreds of Palestinian families are struggling to put their lives back together after their homes and businesses were demolished by Israeli authorities, either as collective punishment for operations carried out by relatives against the Israeli occupation or as part of Israel’s plans to change the demographics in occupied territory.
