Where was the Israeli army on October 7

This is one of the more honest videos done on the subject. It shows just how much control Israel has over Gaza and the horrible living conditions Israel has forced the people there to live in. It details with facts the dates that Israeli militants took over the deported over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands so they could steal the land for Israel. Then the video report shows how Israeli settlements have grown in the West Bank, and some are so large they are the size of major cities. This mistreatment is the catalyst for the rage that keeps erupting as a desperate people with no hope, no home state, see everything taken from them as they are abused. Killing of civilians is wrong, but it is just as wrong on both sides. To answer the question of where was the Israeli army, guarding illegal settlements and the settlers who attack and harass Palestinians, destroying their homes, corps, and yes even killing them in an attempt to drive them out. Why because one god says the land is Jewish, another god says the land is Muslim, and no gods are real. Hugs

For decades, Israel has prioritized illegal settlements for Jewish Israelis in the West Bank

In the early hours of Saturday, October 7, Israelis living near the border with Gaza awoke to the sounds of Hamas fighters killing and kidnapping their neighbors. As the hours stretched on and they hid, terrified, their frantic text messages contained versions of this question: Where is the army?

To answer that question, we need to travel to the West Bank.

Watch this video to better understand how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s obsessive focus on the West Bank has left Israelis everywhere vulnerable.

THE STORY OF ZIGGY

THE STORY OF ZIGGY

For those that do not know, Jerry / Rawgod and Jill started a blog for and about furry members of the family, pets in common terms. I have fell in love with the stories, both the births, the deaths, and the stories in between as people talk about what their non-human family members brought to them. All my life, dogs and cats have been the balm to sooth the hurts happening to me. One of my greatest fears is losing my eyesight. I read a book called “Follow My Leader” as a child, and it was about a young boy blinded who learned to deal with his sudden blindness and to work with his new companion, a seeing eye dog. The post and video at the link above is wonderful. Please go, read and watch, and support our furry non-human family members. Hugs. Scottie

The UN Urges Israel To Stop As They Verge On A Ground Invasion Of Gaza

Israel-Gaza: Some People Have Lost Their Minds

The Rational National points out in his normal reasonable way that holding the view that there is a difference in the worth of a Palestinian child and an Israeli child makes no sense. He also points out many incidents of Israeli soldiers killing Palestinian people, reporters, and children over the last year that received no news coverage. The video is done without sensationalism, which I appreciate. Hugs.

Breaking down the latest from the conflict, including what’s making me go crazy, a good clip from MSNBC, and where major Israeli media is correctly putting the blame.

The race to mine the bottom of the ocean

There are metallic deposits scattered throughout our ocean floors — among hydrothermal vents, under the crust of seamounts, and scattered along sea plains in the form of rocks. As it happens, in our search for climate solutions, these metals have become more critical than ever to help us transition away from fossil fuels. We need them for everything like electric car batteries, copper wiring for electrification and wind turbines. Our land-based deposits have met our needs so far, but it’s unclear whether they will continue to, or whether we’ll want to keep destroying the environment to do so.

This video explains the history and the debate over mining metals in the deep sea and why one Canadian company, The Metals Company, is leading the rush there. There are huge environmental implications for digging up seafloor ecosystems as well as ethical ones: Metal-rich zones like the Clarion-Clipperton Zone lie in international waters that technically belong to everyone. A United Nations body located in Kingston, Jamaica, the International Seabed Authority, is faced with an urgent dilemma over how to regulate mining, whether the environmental harm is worth the benefits to solving our climate crisis, and how to fairly share the profits from this shared resource.

Harvard Students Doxxed Following Anti-Israel Statements

WTF !!!! This is wealthy Jewish supporters doxing young adult students just for exercising free thought! It is entirely an attempt to stop any expression of support for anything but the Israeli ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip. Texas requires teachers to sign a pledge to Israel. It is not being done by Jewish people, it is being done by evangelical Christians to get to their end time. Hugs.

American Healthcare Is Killing Us …

American Healthcare Is Killing Us …

I had a serious problem with this one. Oh, not with the video, that is wonderfully spot on. I just wanted to post it as the YouTube video itself. Oh yes I would have given Ten Bears credit for the link, but that did not sit well with me. When someone goes to the effort to find a video and post it they deserve credit for it. So here is an important video on US healthcare that is so simple and clear, it should be shown in every school and public square. Hugs
