Lying-assed Raj Shah talks terrorist trash against Palestinians

Raj Shah
This is Raj Shah, the dirtball spokesperson for Trump who when asked about the slaughter of 58 Palestinians at the Trump embassy massacre said “Hamas bears the responsibility” because the Israeli government spent weeks trying to ‘handle this” without violence. He actually claimed the massacre was a “gruesome & unfortunate propaganda attempt” by Hamas. ‘Handling’ Palestinians without violence must explain the military occupation, the embargo of Gaza, the settlements on Palestinian lands, the arbitrary arrests, the snipers, drones, & tanks at the apartheid barrier with Gaza since March 30th.

Turks stand with Palestinians against genocide

Turkey demonstrates against moving the US embassy. May 14 2018

Turkey & South Africa withdrew their ambassadors from Israel to protest moving the US embassy to Jerusalem but grandstanding gestures do not replace substantive aid like using resources to actively break the embargo of Gaza & end the Israeli occupation. Solidarity with Palestinians has always been strong among Turks & South Africans whose protests are always massive. South Africa & Palestine have apartheid in common. This is Turks demonstrating massively in solidarity with Palestinians. There are other protests being organized in London, Norway, & elsewhere. Make your city a place of Palestinian solidarity by organizing a rally, even if it’s only one person with a placard. Since it is Trump’s provocation that caused the lives of 58 Palestinians yesterday, Americans have a particular responsibility to hit the streets in protest.

Leem Suleiman & Mansa Osei Musa Cedi create beautiful rap anthem to Palestinian freedom

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZAUS-VB75w&feature=share

Honored to share this truly beautiful rap musical tribute to Palestinians from Israeli Leem Suleiman & Mansa Osei Musa Cedi who said “We dedicate this song to the people of Gaza who are fighting to live in peace & dignity. This is the freedom we need.”

Leem tells me this music “is a collaboration between Ghana and Palestine against the exploitation of land and resource by the west and Israel. We share the same cause.” Mansa is a rapper from Ghana who worked online with Leem to make this song. They have never met.

Please feel free to share this anthem to Palestinian freedom.

Rohingya refugees from Chut Pyin massacre in Arakan (WSJ) May 12 2018
Three Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh who survived the Chut Pyin massacre in Arakan/Rakhine state hold up photos of their beloved who were killed by Burmese military & nationalist death squads. And still, the UN & its member states waffle on whether this is ethnic cleansing or genocide, have not imposed punitive sanctions on Burma, & continue to blither about a transition to democracy under the facade of a civilian government led by Suu Kyi, one of the chief genocidaires.

In the Wall Street Journal, of all places, there is this report with remarkable photojournalism of one of the massacres endured by the Rohingya in Arakan state at the height of the recent genocidal onslaught. No reason to conjecture why the WSJ would consider this human rights story worthy of interest. Its readers are investors & businesses who need to understand how secure their investments are or will be in Burma, specifically in Arakan state. The photos of different Rohingya who lived through the massacre & grieve their beloved make their experience very up close & personal to all of us

The Louisiana stage legislature just passed a budget that will cause 30,000 elderly to lose Medicaid benefits & be evicted from nursing homes. Trump was handed the election & stays in office only because a section of the ruling rich can take advantage of his elitism & hatreds to move society back beyond the Enlightenment. It appears they’re content to leave that jackass in office until that mission is complete. The unions are sitting on their duffs doing absolutely nothing to stop this onslaught against social services for elderly, disabled, children. If we’re going to reverse this, we need to start thinking like a Palestinian or Kashmiri & not be daunted by the odds against us.
