It cannot get more fascist than a government throwing a rally to support the war crimes and genocide that they commit. It is shocking that they did not include a military parade to really round this off. Next time the military will be included and attendance will be mandatory. The US is moving closer and closer to completely erasing any form of democracy.
Both parties united over their support for Israeli war crimes, genocide, and oppression. The one goal both parties can agree on is oppression. THIS is the biggest, most visible red flag for any person that truly supports a democratic system and human rights.
There were no calls for a ceasefire. Instead the crowd chanted, “No ceasefire.” There were only cheers to continue the siege and death in Gaza. The bloodthirsty crowd wants Israel to continue the decimation in Gaza. US elected officials were there to both support the ongoing war on Gaza, and also for them to feel like they are gaining legitimacy from the crowd. Unfortunately, the crowd was small and many participants were paid.
Van Jones, one of the speakers at this rally asked for the public to take a stand. He asked them to take a stand against Muslims. Inciting islamophobia at a government rally at the US government’s behest.
The intent of the rally is obvious- to support war crimes, support genocide, support Islamophobia, and support racism toward Arabs. The main goal is to uphold, not democracy, but oppression. Where is freedom? There is only hate in these sentiments.
This government wants war. They want us to want war. They want us bloodthirsty. It is frightening to see people in power this intent on war and also purposefully ignoring the demands for peace from their constituents. It is apparent that the elected officials have lost all touch with the principles of governance, democracy, morality, and humanity. They are an actual threat. They should have no position of power or control over the military.
These elected officials do not care of the needs of their constituency. Why not use that money from this rally to hold town hall meetings across the US and open the dialogue between elected officials and voters? They only care for oppression and to profit from the oppression. They refuse to listen to voters. In fact, government officials are writing and supporting laws that restrict free speech. Compliant, silent, taxpayers is what this government wants. Any dissent is labeled as terrorist supporting and disregarded entirely. So, they are silencing voters and delegitimizing their perspectives and labeling dissent as incendiary. These are the actions of a fascist regime.
US officials are openly committing crimes and have the expectation that the American people respect them and their authority, but that has been forever eroded by their reprehensible actions and character.
In response, BE UNGOVERNABLE.
As they hold this rally to cheer on the death and destruction of Gaza, the US has naval assets and troops poised for greater war. Yesterday the US bombed Syria. There are confirmed reports from Palestinians of the presence of US troops in Gaza. Israel has bombed, shot, and killed so many journalists in Gaza that these stories are difficult to get footage of especially because the IDF openly targets journalists. One nation that steps out of line in the Middle East will be destroyed and taken under the current US government. These elected officials want war and to carry the destruction further than Gaza.
The threats against freedom and rights from the government are increasing. They held an entire parade to congratulate themselves of the murders and the lives they have destroyed in Gaza. They want us to cheer death. NO. These people are depraved and anyone who supports, funds, or defends these elected officials is sick.
Even outside this sadistic spectacle of war mongering from elected leaders, the deterioration of the US political system is evident. A senator tried to fight a Teamsters President during a hearing in congress today. These elected officials are threatening physical violence on a person testifying. They all have to go.
The power must go to voters. The time of elected officials running a government is over. Let’s work together, unite, and rebalance the system.
From the river to the sea, may Palestine and the world be free.
Protest. Volunteer. BE UNGOVERNABLE. Vote 3rd party. Never vote for a genocide defender. Power to the people. Contact your elected officials. Share the news from Palestine. Share the stories from Palestine. Share the history of Palestine. Share the stories, news, and history of the Congo, Sudan, Armenia, Uyghurs, and West Papua to fight the war crimes and genocide against these peaceful people. Fight oppression worldwide!
