an interesting idea in a short presentation;

the list is reasonable and detailed showing how things have changed in ten years;


The confidence and hubris of those directing the rest of us to race off the cliff while they watch from a safe distance is off the charts.

The past decade of "recovery" and "growth" has actually been a decade of catastrophic losses for our society and nation. Here's a short list of what we've lost:

this article spotlights a good turn in how the world, especially the empire, deals with the apartheid regime in palestine;

Maybe it was when Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would respond to flaming kites from Gaza with an “iron fist.” Or maybe when 13 senators bucked the Israel lobby to call for an easing of the siege on Gaza. Or maybe when five young American Jewish women walked off their “Birthright” trip saying they needed to see the occupation.
Or maybe it was the election in a New York Democratic congressional primary of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even after she described Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “massacre.” Or maybe it was the two Israeli government ministers who issued statements justifying the deportation of an American who supports boycott against Israel, with one minister saying, “This is a Jew who tried to abuse this fact.” 
Hasbara has died. The Israeli effort to “explain” its actions to the world– that era is over. Israel has given up trying to explain itself to fair-minded people. Because the fair-minded have all made up their minds; the slaughter in Gaza has seen to that. And Israel doesn’t think they are fair anyway.
No, its explanations are reserved now for the hard-core supporters. The hasbara is pure propaganda, aimed at rallying the base. And everyone else is tuning out.
It didn’t used to be this way. Hasbara was a successful euphemism because Israeli propaganda was treated as being of a higher order, and so got wide pickup in the mainstream press and from American politicians. Even when segments of Europe and the left were against Israel, the Jewish state could count on a generous hearing in the hallways of power. Leading journalists such as Jeffrey Goldberg, Tom Friedman, Wolf Blitzer and Terry Gross were happy to carry water for Israel’s side of any controversy and malign those who questioned it, and Dennis Ross was on NPR morning noon and night.

well known people speaking about things they've seen concerning zionists;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xchaB_JcAY
the link takes you to many videos the zionists would prefer you not see, revealing the lies in this land about reality in israel;

As Israel appears to be gearing up for yet another Mowing of the Lawn Genocide invasion in Gaza and Palestine watch these videos Israel, Zionist Christians and the 43 some odd US Congresspeople who are treasonist dual citizens with Israel, don’t want you to see.  Continue to sleepwalk or wake up, the choice is yours.  If you choose to wake up then do something about it.  Share this page at a minimal.
