Trump's Troglodyte Offspring – a Shameful Day for the World.



The Palestinian protests along the Gaza border has to date seen over 2000 wounded and over 60 dead. The US response to these war crimes has run from the reticent to the infantile. In effect, unadulterated propaganda, blaming Hamas for the deaths; claiming they (Israel) are merely protecting its borders from “terrorists”. Anyone who believes these lies are either ignorant of middle east history, or have an agenda, that to many, is quite obvious: Israel rule along with Saudi Arabia, over the entire region. Add the right wing religious cults: Zionists and “Christians”, viewing the US embassy move to Jerusalem, somehow fulfils biblical prophecy, leading to Christ's second coming, or Jewish dominance over the middle east, is absolutely absurd. What I found most disgusting was watching the ceremonial opening of the new American Embassy, Trump's offspring, Ivanka and little Jarred Kushner, smiling for the press, spouting propaganda, while Palestinians were being picked off one at a time, protesting the occupation of their land.

Foremost, East Jerusalem and Gaza is considered 'occupied territory' by International Law. For example, lets say, Arizona has been taken over by the Mexican military. By international law, Arizona would be marked as an occupied territory. When Trump's feckless son-in -law announced that the US stands with Israel, because the US believes in freedom, is blatant propaganda. This is simply not true. This troglodyte son-in-law of Trump, went on to say that “they” are provoking the violence. Not true. If you consider throwing rocks and sending a few “flaming kites” into the air provocation, while Israel's IDF have been given orders to shoot, ad hoc, on sight, murdering children, women and journalists, then you have this terrible situation all wrong. Israel is doing the murdering, and the Palestinians, are doing the dying.

A short history of the Israel and Palestinian conflict should open the eyes of any rational individual.

In 1967 Israeli military occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In 1980, Israel decided to annex East Jerusalem – under International Law, this is illegal. To this day, Israel controls all aspects of Gaza – water, electricity, media – and have been committing war crimes: poisoning water supplies, burning crops and kidnapping Palestinian children. Israel is committing a slow form of genocide. But in the American media particularly, these crimes are never reported.

Why does this matter to any developed country?

On the contrary, several “allies” of the US refused to attend the opening of the American embassy in Jerusalem: Canada, Australia, Germany, France and Britain. Why? Because we believe this act of fascist deviance, sets back any peace process.

We all want freedom from tyranny and occupation. Israel, Trump and his band of incompetent troglodytes, has another agenda. And peace is the farthest idea in their minds.
