Watching what’s left of the so-called UK rounding up dissidents accusing them of support of terrorism by nothing more than anti-zionist, anti-israel speech is most deserving of a brief walk down the memory of the world’s most pernicious historical occupier/genocider. 2/“The British Empire was the largest ‘empire’ in history, and at one point in time, it covered about one-quarter of all the land on Earth. At its apex “ a quarter of the world's population, approximately 458 million people, lived under it” and included the people of the Aden

Opening paragraphs in our preliminary statement (sans footnotes):
Famed Israeli scholar Yeshayahu Leibowitz, who at age 90 renounced his nomination for
the Israel Prize for Life Achievement was an “ultra-Orthodox Jew who insisted that the state and
religion must be separated 2/completely to avoid corrupting each other.” He argued vehemently for two positions: “that holding any state as a value in itself was inherently fascist and that sanctifying any piece of land, including Israel, was a form of idolatry.” An ardent opponent of

For years I and other attorneys have argued the so-called first amendment shopping center exception applies to censorship by social media platforms. Under this rule concerning private venues that also serve a government purpose i.e. cong. offices, state benefits etc. 1st amend. protections such as the right to assembly and speech are implicated. So too because private media platforms serve as a government megaphone with official government announcements & recruitment it implicates 1st amend. protections. SCOTUS has essentially held as much stating where

Having vetoed a SC resolution 3 times for a cease fire #genocideJoe ever more the Zionist assassin has covered israel's genocide:
"But in the case of the 100 other transactions, known in government-speak as Foreign Military Sales or FMS, the weapons transfers were processed 2/without any public debate because each fell under a specific dollar amount that requires the executive branch to individually notify Congress, according to U.S. officials and lawmakers who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military matter.

Getting a little tired of the selective righteous indignation of those who justify genocide throughout Palestine on the basis of the original 35 year old wording (since modified) in the Hamas Charter which they argue justifies if not compels extraordinary violations of human 2/rights and other international laws in order to erase a movement and the millions who support it. How long ago did the Norwegian Constitution declare “Jesuits and Monastic orders shall not be tolerated” and “Jews are furthermore excluded from the Kingdom.” And when will the

So I'm at a local supermarket in the heart of a sizeable Hasidic community known for some anti-Zionist Satmars but mostly a heartbeat of pro Israeli Chardal. With my hair & beard out-of-control & wearing the Kaffiyeh gifted me decades ago by Abu Amar as I walk around I am drawing 2/stares galore.

As they leave mom says something to her kids in Yiddish and me being me I butt in and say
