2023-11-23 Obama Advisor’s Insane Racist Tirade Caught On Video MULTIPLE Times! Give it up for the latest superstar viral sensation — former Obama administration diplomat Stuart Seldowitz, who recently blew up online after multiple videos emerged showing Seldowitz berating an Egyptian-born New York City street vendor over his Muslim beliefs. Seldowitz has since been detained and charged with hate crimes over comments that simply have to be heard to be believed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEOmSvhL3ms
2023-11-02 Obama Sides With The Palestinians! With the ongoing theft of land from Palestinians in the West Bank and resulting Israeli settlements, the prospects for a two-state solution are all but dead. Yet American politicians continue to pay lip service to the idea of negotiating a workable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis that will result in a mutually agreeable agreement offering independence and security to both. Guest host Craig Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to independent journalist and filmmaker Dan Cohen about why politicians promoting the two-state solution are lying to themselves and to us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-GXU3dni5M&t=2s
2023-10-23 Thoughts on Israel and Gaza As I stated in an earlier post, Israel has a right to defend its citizens against such wanton violence, and I fully support President Biden’s call for the United States to support our long-time ally in going after Hamas, dismantling its military capabilities, and facilitating the safe return of hundreds of hostages to their families.
But even as we support Israel, we should also be clear that how Israel prosecutes this fight against Hamas matters. In particular, it matters — as President Biden has repeatedly emphasized — that Israel’s military strategy abides by international law, including those laws that seek to avoid, to every extent possible, the death or suffering of civilian populations. Upholding these values is important for its own sake — because it is morally just and reflects our belief in the inherent value of every human life. Upholding these values is also vital for building alliances and shaping international opinion — all of which are critical for Israel’s long-term security.
This is an enormously difficult task. War is always tragic, and even the most carefully planned military operations often put civilians at risk. As President Biden noted during his recent visit to Israel, America itself has at times fallen short of our higher values when engaged in war, and in the aftermath of 9/11, the U.S. government wasn’t interested in heeding the advice of even our allies when it came to the steps we took to protect ourselves against Al Qaeda. Now, after the systematic massacre of Israeli citizens, a massacre that evokes some of the darkest memories of persecution against the Jewish people, it’s understandable that many Israelis have demanded that their government do whatever it takes to root out Hamas and make sure such attacks never happen again. Moreover, Hamas’ military operations are deeply embedded within Gaza — and its leadership seems to intentionally hide among civilians, thereby endangering the very people they claim to represent.
Still, the world is watching closely as events in the region unfold, and any Israeli military strategy that ignores the human costs could ultimately backfire. https://barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-on-israel-and-gaza-a6c397f09a30
