No Palestinian Speaker?
www.vox.com

I think this was an unforced error. The proposed speech made sense and was more anti Trump than anti-Biden.

Not anti Palestinian- anti Hamas
I feel so much sympathy and empathy for the Palestinian people. They have been dumped into a war not of their making, and they suffer the consequences of the actions of a group of terrorists.

Six hostages have been killed by Hamas shortly before being rescued by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). It is clear from the timing that it was an execution, expressly to deny the safe return of six victims to Israel. You can be sure that Israel and their prime minister, Mr Netanyahu will milk this event for every cent of political capital they can, and strike seventy times six against Palestine- the reason presented to the world will be to eradicate Hamas and double the effort to free the remaining hostages, but we all know that it will be revenge and a show of superior force.

One cannot blame Israel. In an unfriendly nook of the world they have to be perceived as a superior fighting force. The threat of violence is worth more to them than actual violence. They will hit hard. And in my opinion, any organization that utilizes violence and terror against civilians are terrorists and should be eliminated from existence. In the modern day and era there are other avenues to utilize that are more effective.

I am of opinion that Hamas specifically opted for a violent attack, knowing that a lie told often enough and loud enough eventually becomes truth. This is exactly what is happening now at the university campuses in the USA, where impressionable young people are being told barrels full of bull excrement which they swallow greedily, when the truth is far removed from reality. About the only truth in there is that there is violent enmity between Hamas from Palestine and Israel. The students who protest in favor of Hamas should be taken to the front where they can see first hand what terrorist organizations do, how they operate, and how they use civilians as shields and hide behind, the quickly accuse the opposition of the worst atrocities. I have lived through this in so-called Apartheid South Africa, and I was on the front lines myself. I saw the truth and heard the lies propagated throughout the world as truth. The two were far removed from each other, but bleeding heart liberals swallowed the crap by the ANC as if it was honey, and left us in the lurch when the country was hijacked by a gang of criminals and run down to nothing- a third world, banana republic battling to overcome the challenges.

Right now, after 30 years of ANC rule, a person is murdered in this country every 18 minutes. A woman (or child) is raped every four minutes. And we have a terrorist organization to thank for it- the same terrorist organization that was hailed as the savior of a once prosperous and beautiful country. I must remind you all, that even the modern day saint Nelson Mandela admitted in his biography that he signed off on bombings and attacks on civilians from his cell on Robben Island. That is the characteristic of a terrorist. And it is the same ANC that now supports Hamas, crying loudly that Hamas is a freedom organization. The truth is being twisted to suit the narrative, not the facts, and the world eagerly laps it up.

I see that the Israeli minister for security asked for the institution of the death penalty for Hamas terrorists. This is something that sits well with me. No culture, organization, ambition or any other act has the right to exist just because it is. Some things in life is just wrong and needs to be eradicated. Let me use a gruesome example to drive my point home. Female circumcision is part of the culture of some African tribes further north of my country. Just because it is their culture does not mean it is right. It is barbaric and must be stopped. So does Hamas.

Donald vs. Biden
The protestors at Harris fail to realize Donald would support any operation Netanyahu might wish to conduct against not just Hamas but the Palestinian people. What does Donald care of Palestinians? Hell, he gave Turkey a green light to slaughter our Kurdish allies who should have been sacrificing their lives in the defense of our northern oil fields in Syria after they helped us defeat ISIL if they desired our continued support.

This thread was about Palestine, not US politics. Not Mr Biden vs Mr Trump. And not hijacked for that topic again. Ffs…..
