Survival, Power, and Responsibility: Navigating Zionism and White Supremacy with Action Over Rhetoric Through Justice, Reconciliation, and …

The best description of Satan is to describe netanyahu.

Ah, yes, because clearly the entire voting populace of any country is a monolithic block of individuals who look in the mirror each morning, see a reflection of a single politician, and think, "Ah, there I am in all my obnoxious, narcissistic, supremacist glory!" It's a wonder elections are even necessary—just one giant selfie session, right? And of course, it makes perfect sense to sum up the complex socio-political landscape of Israel, with its diverse population and multitude of opinions, in a single sweeping statement. Who needs nuance when you can just paint millions of people with the broadest brush possible? So much easier to imagine a whole society of clones marching in lockstep behind their mirror image, blissfully ignoring the actual debates, disagreements, and democratic processes that might suggest otherwise. But hey, why stop there? Let’s extend the logic: every nation’s leader is just a perfect reflection of their society, right? So, by that reasoning, we could conclude that every American must have been a reality TV star in their past life, and the British all secretly fancy themselves as ancient relics from the colonial era. It’s a wonder we even need to look at policies or, you know, reality, when we have such insightful stereotypes to guide us!

Exactly what I have been warning: having not experienced sovereignty, diaspora jews have had to rely on the tolerance/approval of the non-jews for their continuous existence just like the german jews did. But it was inevitable that at the first crisis -- the west entering the stage of decadence and collapse -- they would be scapegoated just like in 1930s. They internalized antisemitism and are signaling virtue in the delusion they will be spared, but that never worked. Failing to learn from experience is not a recipe for survival. "The great grandparents of today’s American Jews decided over a century ago to set aside their history, to forget. They wanted to integrate into America, become American, and believed that that level of integration was actually available to them for the just time in the history of Jews. They were right. Jews had never before experienced a home as welcoming as America. The Jewish experience of America might be counted the greatest compliment ever paid to any nation in the history of the world. ****But that warm welcome and deep identification with America have left them disarmed in the new ideological landscape, in the new war on their story and identity that is such a big part of the modern far-left political project. **** The great and urgent task of this generation of American Jews is to reclaim their story, their history and identity, from those who wish to erase them." https://lnkd.in/gUJycxJf

Spread of Racist Ideology: The Spanish-American War reinforced the racist beliefs underpinning the "white man's burden" - the idea that white, Western societies were inherently superior and had a duty to uplift and control "inferior" non-white populations. This provided a pseudo-humanitarian rationale for American imperialism. Backlash and Criticism: However, the U.S. occupation of the Philippines also sparked significant backlash and criticism, with figures like Mark Twain denouncing the "white man's burden" as a cover for exploitation and oppression. This revealed the hypocrisy and racism inherent in the ideology.

Great share as always Ọládélé Dosunmu. Whose HIStory is being told? For those professing "Allyship" kindly explore, the narrative we have been fed to undermine people of colour for centuries. Then speak up and out on our behalf to assist in a meaningful sustainable change process. Remember, the story told by the hunter, is very different from that of the prey. If we are to really ever have: Equity, Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity. Then, we need to have real uncomfortable conversations. We need to allot meaningful, time, money, effort and the willingness to reset one's mind to basic natural and moral laws. Where critical thinking involves the use of the mind, heart, gut and faith walk. Moreover, we need to be willing to be open to conduct role reversal exercises. This will enable us to really see the level of systemic and institutional racism very much alive today. EDI, requires a quantum paradigm shift. Commencing in the mindset and altering : attitude, behaviours, conduct and lifestyle choices. Have you ever, taken the time to ponder. Why are people including children and elderly people around the world being paid literally peanut income for back breaking work in hazardous working conditions from morning till night, with poor sanitation, no health and safety standards, no advocacy, living in 'accommodation' not fit for human habitation. Yet, their blood, sweat and tears... props up the lifestyle of the global South and other "advanced", countries. Why is environmental racism occuring, where waste is being dumped in poor countries, causing toxic conditions, impacting those people's lives. Where is the EDI, Human Rights in all of this? It is also important to highlight, that we need to appreciate that as we evolve into an Artificial Intelligence, machine learning age. Racist algorithmic profiling is a real risk! So if EDI, really will exist in a pure form. Then work has to commence now! As a professional community, your engagement may connect with policy makers who have the power to make a positive difference. So get involved. I would love to hear your views.. Remember that action.. Speaks volumes. #Artificial #machinelearning #equality #BritishEmpire

"Our biggest mistake is our failure to make Christianity and democracy as meaningful for the Negro as it is for the white. The most insidious form of subversive activity in this country is not that of the communists but that done by those who wrap themselves in the American flag and give the lie to American freedom." — Fr. Louis J. Twomey, S.J., May 20, 1962.

In this episode of Faithful Politics, hosts Will and Pastor Josh invited Congressman Jared Huffman to explore themes of religious liberty, Christian nationalism, and the role of religion in politics. Congressman Huffman, representing California's second congressional district, delves into his work with the Congressional Freethought Caucus (not forethought, lol), emphasizing its dedication to upholding the separation of church and state and combating discrimination against religious minorities and non-believers. The discussion illuminates the challenges posed by Christian nationalism, highlighting its influence on events like the Jan. 6 insurrection and its implications for religious liberty in the United States. https://lnkd.in/e4Suiq84
