Given Netanyahu's deliberate destruction of a number of large apartment buildings in Beirut with U.S. made bunker busting bombs that caused hundreds of civilian casualties, it's important to recall these two points of history:
In 1978, Israel's most prominent military analyst, Ze've Schiff, summed up remarks by Chief of Staff Mordecai Gur as follows: "The Israeli Army has always struck civilian populations, purposefully and consciously . . . The Army has never distinguished civilian from military targets – but purposefully attacked civilian targets."
Former UN Ambassador and Foreign Minister Abba Eban wrote of Israel under then Prime Minister Menachem Begin that Israel "is wantonly inflicting every possible measure of death and anguish on civilian populations in a mood reminiscent of regimes which neither Mr. Begin nor I would dare to mention by name." -R

Time for a more insistent demand for the firing of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. He's cutting @USPS service and raising rates. The service is horrendous. Two recent examples of Priority Mail, which is supposed to take 1-3 business days—One mailing to Connecticut ended up in Puerto Rico. Another is on its 4th day getting to its final destination.
The Democrats control the Postal Board of Governors. They take some of their cues from the postal unions which are being "played" by the boastful, corporatist DeJoy—a funder of and nominee of President Donald Trump. Postal customers and postal workers should be aligned and not divided and ruled.
We called the Consumer Advocate for the US Postal Service here in Washington DC (202-268-2000) at 9:30 AM, but they said they were closed despite their website saying they are open from 7AM to 8:30 PM Mon-Fri. The “Consumer Advocate” has no name as a human being. Attempts to reach the Postal Regulatory Commission also went to voicemail.

Tomorrow, July 24, 2024, is a Congressional Day of Infamy. Netanyahu, a mass murderer of over 300,000 innocent Palestinian children, women and men—continuing his daily bombardment and starvation of the dying, homeless, defenseless Gazan population—is set to address a joint session of Congress.
He was invited by the fanatical House Speaker Johnson and his sadistic GOP cohorts, supported by half of the Democrats. With his rising genocide using Biden’s unconditional weaponry and many billions of Congressional tax dollars, six federal statutes are being violated. Netanyahu is committing numerous war crimes under international law.
By supporting Netanyahu’s ongoing slaughter, Congress is applauding with bloodsoaked hands. This politician is despised by 3 out of 4 Israelis for his domestic tyrannies and disastrous blunders on October 7th. He is under indictment by Israeli prosecutors for political corruption. Members of Congress who back him are backing violent antisemitism against Palestinian Arabs—called “the other antisemitism” by Jim Zogby. (See: )sojo.net/magazine/novem…

Over 200,000 Palestinians—not 35,000—have already died since October. This is based on nearly 100,000 bombs and missiles directly on civilians, without food, water, medicine, electricity, healthcare and World Health casualty projections starting last October. The 35,000 official fatality count is absurd. No human beings could endure those massacres and related untreated diseases since October 7th. -R
Bears repeating, Biden’s own humanitarian aid envoy stated weeks ago: “There is an imminent risk of starvation for the majority, if not all, the 2.2 million population of Gaza. This is not a point in debate. It is an established fact, which the United States, its experts, the international community, its experts, assess and believe is real.” -R democracynow.org/2024/4/11/head…
"Ultimately, unless something changes, the world faces the prospect of almost a quarter of Gaza’s 2 million population - close to half- a million human beings - dying within a year. These would be largely deaths from preventable health causes and the collapse of the medical system. It’s a crude estimate, but one that is data-driven, using the terrifyingly real numbers of deaths in previous and comparable conflicts." - Professor Devi Sridhar (@devisridhar) Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh.

The enforcer president of Columbia University— Minouche Shafik—is one of the wealthiest people in America. As president, she makes over $2000 an hour every weekday. In three days, she makes more than many blue collar workers at Columbia make in a year. -R
Some more data on university president salaries: According to the Pioneer Institute, the President of @Yale, Peter Salovey, makes over $900 an hour ($1.9 million per year) plus generous benefits. Per Payscale, a janitor at Yale earns an average of $22 per hour. The university president makes in about 6 days what a university janitor makes in a year.
In his previous role as provost, current interim president of @Harvard Alan Garber made $946,000 during the 2021-2022 school year—about $450 per hour. His current salary information is unknown. He also sits on two corporate boards, part-time positions that earned him an additional $963,000 in 2022, according to the @BostonGlobe.

Per Glassdoor, a janitor at Harvard University makes an average of $22 per hour.bostonglobe.com/2024/01/05/met…

The writer and artist unions striking for better livelihoods against the giant Hollywood studios (WB, Disney, etc.), including the wealthiest artists, should be returning "Corporate Campaign" specialist Ray Rogers calls...
He has a plan for them to greatly widen the arc of the public’s attention to other corporations who can influence the outcome of the labor negotiations because of their investment stake in the entertainment industry. See: -Rcorporatecampaign.org
Clooney, Streep, Oprah, and other highly-paid stars helped the fund that assists lower income performers. These stars can expand big time the final settlement by supporting Ray Rogers' proposed corporate campaign to take this conflict to a higher, visible level of impact. -R

Thread—The massive mega storm and flood that struck Libya, taking many thousands of lives of families swept out to sea, demands greater international assistance.
In 2011, Hillary Clinton, captured by the pressure of a French war plotter, pushed Obama into a criminal, unconstitutional war–even completely excluding Congress’s appropriations authority–that destroyed Libya’s government, turning the country into chaos and violence to this day.
Obama’s Secretary of Defense Robert Gates argued against the military assault on Libya, telling Hillary to heed the lessons of Iraq. Later, Obama admitted it was his worst foreign policy decision, but Hillary the Hawk, as usual, refused to apologize to the Libyan people.
