And, we now have to build a pier to get food to the starving homeless Palestinians. Does anyone find this crazy? Why can't food come from Israel? Oh, that's right: they are filthy rats to be Exterminated...or, wait, Israel owns that word because of the Holocaust...substitute: Eliminated..
99% ...maybe only 95% of Israelis support this Netanyahu policy to rid the country of those filthy rats. And, here's a site where there is property for sale in the West Bank: https://realestateisrael.org
The UN needs to do for the Palestinians what they did for Jews after WWII. They were living there! I can no longer support Israel as long as that man is in charge. He's a filthy murderer and his policies are war crimes. IDGAF about what happened in the past, that does NOT give them the right to pass that horrible treatment forward. I keep asking if I can go to Turin, the birthplace of my grandfather and demand his family land back. Can you imagine the hoots and laughter? Not to mention being kicked out of wherever?
I read his father instilled this philosophy in him, and I'm guessing his father was first gen Israeli? I really get hung up on how Russian Jews are more entitled to live there than Palestinians whose fathers fathers fathers were native to the area. Also, Jewish is a religion, Palestinian is not. Where are all the "good" people to call them out on their horrible behavior?
It's called projection. Norman Finkelstein has written extensively about it. And my god, look at how Israel is treating the Gazans they're taking as prisoners.
Beyond chilling. Hi! Steph, I am a NYC girl, born in Chicago and summered several years in wonderful Cherry Grove,The Pines. Bet you visited sometime or other.
Pa.? my USA address now is in Mount Bethel. I am living in Mexico. Pa. is a big state. when someone asks is that near...? I always say, Nothing in Pennsylvania is near anything else in Pennsylvania.,,it's like Russia. It's huge!
It takes 8 hours to drive rt 80 from New Jersey to Indiana. I think that's the next State, right? I looked seriously at Philly but finally decided no. The black population there does not seem like the blacks in NYC or where I lived in NJ. They seemed pissed off and not happy with white people. I mean, who can blame them...? I used the subway once and I was looked at like, What are YOU doing here"....it was 100% black. I just used the buses after that. I'm used to NYC where everyone fits in. .............. I grew up in La Grange, Ill. until my father got a better job in 1954 in NJ.
America itself is huge, and everywhere you go it's like being in another country.
My father was born in PA over 100 years ago, in a tiny place called Rockland, in the western part of the state. He would ride a horse to school until he was in 6th grade, then he quit school to work on the family farm. He was born at home and like a lot of rural Americans back then, he had no birth certificate and had to use school records to verify his age when he joined the Navy.
I wonder when it became common practice for births to happen in hospitals. In your Father's time, the only transportation was horses and the population was sparse except in big cities, so getting to the hospital for a birth wasn't possible. Having births at home put many young women in a cemeteries.
Births were not considered medical events, and maternal and neonatal deaths were considered the price to pay for having children. My mother was also born at home; her 6 siblings were, too. Instead of making home births safe, in modern times (post WW2) medical intervention was the thing - in many hospitals, caesarean births became up to 40% of all babies born, many laboring mothers were given medication they neither requested nor needed. This is why we have midwives working in hospitals these days.
I had my son in '59 and had been dosed up during birth with "Twilight Sleep". I said to the doctor," I was asleep the whole time?" ...He said, "Oh no,, you were quite awake" I thought that was terrible. And, my 7+ lbs baby was so "out" when it came to nursing, that it was impossible. There were 18 mothers in the hospital; I was the only one nursing which made me a pain in the neck to the nurses. Nursing had gone out of style but how would I know that? I was only 18 and certainly not up to snuff about the latest baby management stuff.
You were given scopolamine, as were most laboring mothers in the 50's. It makes you forget your labor, which is a very weird kind of pain management. In 1977 I was giving birth in the local university hospital. I was given an enema because it was supposed to speed up labor, and then I was shot so full of drugs that I passed out between contractions, then I'd wake up and try to walk out of the hospital. For my second child, I told the doctor to leave me alone unless I asked for him. I had a drug-free birth experience and both my baby and I were awake and nursing well. America's maternal death rate is appalling, by the way - there are poor countries who do much better.
Somebody should be asking the question, why is Israel bombing the Gazans to the tune of 30,000 dead yet it still claims it's killing Hamas fighters? Good grief, isn't Hamas all dead by now? Who does Israel think it's fooling other than the Biden administration? And why haven't they found the source of Hamas' weapons but simply insist it's Iran, even though Iran no longer has a way to get them into Gaza?

the problem is bigger than Bibi. it's been going on way before he was even an adult.

They do NOT care. They will get away with all this. And, they know it. Stay tuned for the next atrocity.
