This is Day 29 of this mounting, crushing, West Asian tragedy in which 10,900 people (1,400 in Israel, 9,400 in Gaza, and >100 in the West Bank) have already been killed. I am looking out of my window at the streaks of a glorious sunrise. But when will all my friends in those areas be able to see an end to their current suffering?
In one of the most recent atrocities that the world is currently witnessing, the US Congress has approved a $14 billion budget for the ongoing genocide of the people in Gaza. While so many human needs and infrastructure repairs are being ignored here in the US, the government is busy sending billions of dollars to Israel to continue its war crimes. As citizens of the US, we should demand an end to the use of our tax dollars to fund this massacre.
Also, it’s worth noting that money is hocus-pocused out of thin air by banks for these genocidal appropriations, but buying the wars with your tax dollars is the way that the genocidal maniax get your tacit approval for mass murder. The serial killers don’t need your tax dollars, but they need your silent complicity.
(I am a war tax resister—the Empire gives me reasons on a daily basis to be relieved about my choice).
However, it’s high time that we address the elephant in the room – the US government’s complicity in the atrocities being committed in Gaza. As one of the apartheid state of Israel’s biggest supporter, the US government has been providing financial and military support to the “Israeli” government for years. This not only makes us complicit in the mass murder of innocent people but also makes us responsible for the gross violation of human rights.
It is ironic that while we are busy spending trillions on wars in foreign lands, our own infrastructure is crumbling. Hospitals, roads, schools, and bridges all need urgent repairs, but our government seems to be more interested in funding Israel's aggression. The US government needs to prioritize the needs of its own citizens before sending billions of dollars overseas.

The US government’s support for “Israel” is not only morally wrong but also illegal under international law. The brutal Zionist regime has been committing war crimes and crimes against humanity for decades now. Yet, despite clear evidence of these crimes, the US government continues to support them financially and militarily.
We need to demand accountability from our elected officials (for whatever that is worth) and urge them to take decisive action to end the US government's funding of “Israel's” war crimes. We must stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza and demand an immediate end to the violence against them. We can't allow your tax dollars to be used to fund such heinous crimes and atrocities.
In conclusion, the ongoing massacre of the people in Gaza is a testament to the hypocrisy and immorality of our government. US tax dollars should be used to serve the needs of its own citizens, not to fund the genocide of innocent people. We all have a moral obligation to demand an end to the use of our tax dollars to fund mass murder in places like “Israel” and Ukraine. We must stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza and keep pushing for justice and peace for all.

It's all very simple. You just can't money launder aid to Hawaii like you can "aid" to Ukraine or Israel. Period...end of story.
As you have pointed out many times. We are "governed" by a crime family that wants to steal anything that's not nailed to the floor. And this crap has been going on for decades...heck...maybe centuries!
I used to be a very vocal protestor. But after I retired, I had to witness a Fraud Upon The Court by a crooked Zionist judge, Kindred Hospital Zionist lawyers and even our own Zionist lawyer who we paid to deny us our Constitutional Rights, and sell us down the river. We Christians were the only non Zionists in court. We were forced to sit in the hall, as they perpetrated their fraud (with a laughable forged signature) without protest. My Mom lost her home and assets to these crooks who kept my Dad as a medical prisoner, as they pillaged his insurance and his person as well. I am now terrified of speaking up, due to their continued retribution for any outspoken behavior or truth telling. That is why so many elected officials (being Zionists) are in most of the seats of power. This was a well thought out and planned agenda to shut the Goyim up. I could curl your hair with my recounts of this anti-Christian/Goy behavior used on my family. And even as we protest their abuse of us, that is somehow called antisemitism! Even my many life long Jewish friends (being in the arts and science) are now running scared, and cloistering to themselves.
That in itself is so hurtful to our family, as we always were their for them through thick and thin. Now we are literally cast off, as if decades of friendship meant nothing! And I guess that is the intention of all of this...divide and conquer, and usurp.
