Being anti-Islamic is just as racist as being anti-Semitic. And it’s the Israelis that continue to kill women and children in what has to be a futile effort to “eliminate Hamas.”
“On Thursday 192 House Republicans voted for an amendment which would have required a controversial Confederate monument to be reinstated at Arlington National Cemetery, where it was removed in December 2023.” (Newsweek, 6-14-24)
Ok, I’m going to explain why you’re confused—maybe missed that week in American history class? What had been the Confederate states have continued to maintain as hostile an environment for Blacks as the federal government would let them get away with- right through to the present time. And, it is true that they voted (called the “solid south”) for the Democrats until the 1960s. The Dixiecrat branch of the party was formed in 1948, when Truman began desegregating the armed forces. They pretty much ceased to exist when LBJ signed the Civil Rights laws into effect, since the Republicans opposed the Civil Rights laws. When Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act he said that “we have lost the south for a generation”. He was unreasonably optimistic, considering that a fair portion of them hadn’t conceded the Civil War. The people who agreed with that legislation tended to vote Democratic after it was passed. The Dixiecrats then abandoned the Democratic party in droves, since the Republicans agreed with them, and the KKK and other hate groups have been voting with the Republicans since that time. If you look at an election map and see where the red and the blue are located, then compare membership numbers for hate groups, you will see a very strong correlation. I plan to keep this explanation and post it in response to every time I see someone calling the Democrats the party aligned with the hate groups. I doubt it will change anyone’s mind, but I don’t want incorrect information to go unchallenged.
Hmmm… Who does Bibi sound like: Netanyahu, who did not attend Monday’s hearing, has described charges against him as a ‘witch-hunt’.
A corruption trial against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resumed on Monday after a two-month pause due to the continuing Gaza war. He did not attend the hearing.
Netanyahu has been charged with fraud, bribery and breach of trust in three cases filed in 2019. He can be sentenced to up to 10 years in jail and/or a fine if convicted in a bribery case.
Netanyahu remains highly unpopular and many Israelis blame him for security lapses leading to the October 7 Hamas attack – the deadliest since Israel’s founding in 1948.
Netanyahu, the longest-serving Israeli prime minister – brought far-right Israeli politicians into government and boosted illegal settlements on Palestinian lands – pushing aside the political process for a Palestinian state as envisaged in the Oslo Accords of the 1990s.
Long before the current war erupted, the killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces and settler violence had skyrocketed. – Aljazeera
Main peoples of Semitic origin: Acadians, Chaldeans, Babylonians, Assyrians, Amorreus, Arameans, Phoenicians, Arabs, Hebrews, Jews, Samaritans, Nabataeans, Syrians, Hyksos, Egyptians, Ethiopians and Ugaritic. So those who are anti- Semitic are against any and all of these!

Maybe this is a more apt comparison:
“On Thursday 192 House Republicans voted for an amendment which would have required a controversial Confederate monument to be reinstated at Arlington National Cemetery, where it was removed in December 2023.” (Newsweek, 6-14-24)
That’s today’s GOP, folks.
