This is what the protest movement is about, standing by someone who is to scared to do it themselves, even if it puts yourself in harms way, I have no doubt most of you would in this situation, I doubt we’d be able to organise on here thou, too many snitches.
One evening in 2004, when John Francis Mulligan, a US-born Irish citizen, was in the West Bank, a stranger asked him to walk her to a funeral.
It was after curfew in Nablus, and Palestinians weren’t allowed out on the streets. A young man had been killed earlier that day, and because of religious beliefs, his family needed to bury him within 24 hours, Mulligan recalls. But if they went outside, the Israel armed forces “would open fire on them for violating curfew”.
The dead man’s mother asked Mulligan: “Can you march with us? Can you stand at the front with our family? Because they’re not gonna shoot you, you’re white … I just need someone, literally, to stand with me.’”
‘He’s lost my vote’: Many Irish-Americans turn against Biden over Gaza war
A series of protests on St Patrick’s Day points to the threat Biden faces from the loss of a key vote in swing states.www.aljazeera.com
I've said time and time again a key driver for Trump in 2016 was his anti endless foreign war stuff. It resonated hard with the people who had actually been fighting the wars.
Now it seems that Biden - as hardcore a creature of the Washington security state as ever existed - is going to be punished for appearing to prioritise Israel and Ukraine over his own core voters.
As for that dynamic duo of protestors .... I am busy, and usually every minute is accounted for .... get the f@ck out of my way!! I still hate that Peter Hoare w@nker? Where is that toad today?
