The US is under a fascist autocracy now, it is no longer a democracy in its present state. Protesters peacefully protesting outside of the DNC were attacked by police in a brutal show of force. Colleges are banning protests. The US senate backed a resolution condemning pro-Palestinian protests at colleges. The White House rejects the use of the phrase “From the river to the sea.” The government also threw a rally supporting the genocide of Palestinians and the horrors that Israel is perpetrating in Gaza. They want the US citizens to carry their mantle of colonialism, oppression, death, and destruction.
Many people who have forever lost their rose-colored glasses while witnessing the horrific suffering in Gaza, realize this mantle that we are to carry drips blood and costs your soul.
These people have clarity and see the lies, the refusal of accountability, deflections, and the underlying hate from world leaders, elected officials, and those supporting Israel.
Under the present state of things, a citizen is to believe all of these absurdities and the government has no cause to provide any facts or proof of their absurd claims. This is not a democracy.
A government sponsored pro-Israeli genocide rally had speakers who spread misinformation and twisting of the narrative in order to justify the actions of Israel, which are unjustifiable, so these statements were illogical and fallacious. Many of the speeches were filled with references to Hamas using human shields and how awful it is that Palestinians are being forced to protect Hamas. A person walking down the street does not constitute a human shield. A person existing in their apartment or house does not constitute a human shield. Refugees seeking safety or children in a school, do not constitute a human shield. That assertion is illogical (and post hoc ergo propter hoc). Innocent Palestinians in the vicinity are not a human shield. If Hamas were to use a human shield, would they not use the Israeli hostages as a shield? Another twist of the narrative that pro-Israeli supporters attempted badly was the absolute appalling argument that Israel is liberating Palestinians. Israel is not Palestine’s savior, they bring only death and pain. To hear this wild spin that Israel is somehow doing good by killing, starving, maiming, blinding, and terrorizing Palestinians and that this will save them from their oppressor is something out of a dictatorial handbook. The dictator then can do whatever actions to destroy and kill and it is in the name of saving the people they are also decimating. Do these people truly think that any Palestinian would ever thank a zionist for saving them? These zionists that believe that they are saving Palestine and liberating them are lost and in a deluded state, they would justify anything Israel does as irreproachable.
Israel and the US have continued the absolute absurd claims that tunnels are under hospitals, and even after invading the Al-Shifa hospital, they found none. After all of the hospitals they have destroyed, there are no tunnels that Israel and the US claims the Hamas fighters use. Israel now says that Hamas filled the tunnels with cement. With what water? With what cement? Where are pictures of the filled tunnels? President Biden firmly stated that there are Hamas command centers under hospitals, digging further into the unsubstantiated information. Neither country has provided any proof and the US is now refusing to offer any. Patients are dying in this hospital, they need help and not to be attacked, which is protected under many articles of the Geneva Convention.
Adding more fuel to the autocratic, fascist fire, Biden gave a press conference regarding his visit with the President Xi of China, but the questions turned quickly to the war on Gaza in which the president responded with spreading lies as facts. He was questioned about Gaza and the significant number of Palestinian casualties, and in his response he brought up Hamas as the instigator and then stated that the Hamas command centers are under hospitals. He added flagrant misinformation like the beheaded Israeli babies, Hamas burning women and children in Israel, and that Hamas has threatened further attacks against Israel in order to justify Israel’s actions. You cannot justify killing innocent people while using lies. What is even further concerning is that Biden asserts these to be true when they are proven false. At the end of the conference he says that he will not provide any information to prove the credibility of Israeli information he is using as fact. This is a fascist autocracy is moving swiftly to oppose criticism, questions, and accountability. The US government has lost all credibility as a result of their actions and also these words. There is no trust in this administration and with the elected officials who should represent but do not represent their constituents.
Biden said the war on Gaza will stop until Hamas can no longer attack Israeli ever again. He left the door open here for Israel to continue at their discretion.
If you defy these lies, if you question these lies, the US government would label you a terrorist.
The slope they are slipping down is moving at a quick pace. The rights that are in their way in order to gain greater control are blocking their progress and they will attack them. The excuse US elected officials will then say for the removal of these rights is for the protection of US security. Just a reminder, the US is not at war.
The power must go to the people. A real democracy can exist. A real democracy should exist. One where all voices matter together.
The power must go to the people.
Gaza has no electricity or fuel. There is no food or medicine.
May God protect the people of Palestine, for we are lacking in our humanity. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. May the whole world be free.
