“‘Investor-owned and private oil companies supply 66% of oil to #Israel—more than a third of that from major oil companies like Chevron, Shell, and BP—despite #genocide warnings from the International Court of Justice,’ Oil Change said. ‘BP is among the top corporate suppliers of #oil to Israel. It operates and is the largest owner of the BTC pipeline, which transports Azeri oil that is ultimately sent to Israel’”

“#Israel’s total war on Palestinian civilians, in turn, significantly reduced enthusiasm for #Biden among youth and minorities at home, helping usher him out of office. It also created electoral obstacles for Kamala #Harris’s presidential bid. By his insistence on impunity for the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden has left the Middle East in flames and the U.S. and the world distinctly in peril”

“Revered abolitionist Harriet Tubman, who was the first woman to oversee an American military action during a time of war, was posthumously awarded the rank of general on Monday.
Dozens gathered on Veterans Day at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park in Maryland’s Dorcester County for a formal ceremony making Tubman a one-star brigadier general in the state’s National Guard.”

I just watched an Al Jazeera reporter ask the Amsterdam mayor why she wasn’t providing the full context to the attack on Israeli soccer fans, including earlier mayhem caused by those fans. The mayor responded that she had provided the context in talking about the protests the day before, but that what happened to the soccer fans was not protest. The mayor would not acknowledge any violence by Israeli soccer fans.

Framing this discussion with the pejorative “both sidesism” limits analysis to individuals involved in electoral politics. I am more concerned about US fascism as a corporate socio-economic movement that exists beyond Trump and would continue even if a beaten Trump goes away after the election. This trend goes back to Nixon and Reagan as the ruling class undermined and eviscerated the Second Reconstruction. It’s why the Dems have continued their slide right for decades

Democrats need to stop scolding voters and start preparing ways to fight fascism. The past 4 years showed that they aren’t willing to fight. In fact, they didn’t rollback Trump’s deregulations, they embraced his hardline on immigration, they encouraged police crackdowns on student protests, and they created a genocide that they warned he would start. Having better table manners didn’t make Biden-Harris any less odious to me. Full disclosure: I voted for Biden in 2020.

I’ve seen several of the terrorist pager detonation videos. One of the more agonizing for me was seeing one explode on a man standing just a couple of meters away from 2 little girls. Seeing their terrified reactions. Calculating how close they came to being casualties (emotionally they were among the casualties). Terrible to watch. Worse for them to see.

Mastodon social moderators removed another one of my posts overnight saying that it promoted violence. It contained 2 pictures with eerily similar composition: the first was a selfie photo of IDF soldiers surrounding a blindfolded Palestinian prisoner while laughing and flipping him off. The second photo was of soldiers of Germany’s Wehrmacht surrounding a Jewish prisoner making similar expressions of mirth and laughter. Masto hasn’t explained how I promoted violence in exposing similarities.
