AMERICAN CRIME & COWARDICE: Epitomized By Dem's Harris/Walz Nomination
200 days have passed since the killing of Hind Rajab, her family, and the medics sent to save her in late January, and the Biden/Harris State Department has done nothing.
Here’s something appropriate to watch tonight as the Democratic War Party crowns Queen Kamala. Instead of that cynical circus, see the reality behind the empire’s latest clown face make-up.

Of the many, non-stop brutal war crimes by US-armed, financed and excused Israeli “Defense” Force thugs, one of that embodies the essence of the US/Israeli genocide is the murder of 6-year-old Hind Rajab.
As noted in a Common Dreams report at the time:
The plight of 6-year-old Hind Rajab drew worldwide attention after the Palestine Red Crescent Society published a recording of a desperate phone call made by her 15-year-old cousin Layan Hamadeh to the PRCS as her family came under Israeli tank attack while trying to flee to safety in their car in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood of southern Gaza City at dusk on January 29.
"They are shooting at us. The tank is right next to me. We're in the car, the tank is right next to us," Hamadeh said before screaming as gunfire erupts and the call goes silent.
Along with Hamadeh, Rajab's aunt, uncle, and two other cousins were killed. But Rajab—who was wounded in the back and hand—initially survived.
"I'm so scared, please come!"
"Come take me. Will you come and take me?" she begged PRCS dispatcher Rana al-Faqeh over the phone, telling her that she was afraid of the dark. "I'm so scared, please come!"
An ambulance was dispatched to rescue Rajab. But it, too, came under Israeli attack, and crew members Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun were killed.
In a statement, the PRCS alleged that Israeli forces "deliberately targeted the Red Crescent crew despite prior coordination to allow the ambulance to arrive at the site to rescue Hind."
PRCS spokesperson Nebal Farsakh told The Guardian that Israeli officials gave the ambulance a "green light" to enter the area.
"First [the paramedics] said the Israeli forces are putting laser lights on them," Farsakh said. "And then we heard a gunfire sound before we lost the connection. It was like a gunfire or explosion, we were not sure of what happened."
"We have very clear Red Cross emblems on top of all of our ambulances," she added. "This is horrible because when we have waited so many hours, leaving Hind appealing to us, crying, saying please come pick me up, and then, unfortunately, although we have waited all of these hours to guarantee our safe access, it wasn't a safe access."
At the time, the Israelis said they were “investigating” the atrocity. As usual, despite US supplying and funding the genocide, State Department officials meekly deferred, saying they would await the results of the Israeli review.
It’s 200 days and counting since and the Israelis have done nothing and you can guess what the Biden/Harris administration and the State Department have done. I won’t insult your intelligence by telling you.
You know.
We all know.
The world knows.

Would Harris & Walz Make Things Better For The Hunted Children Of Gaza?
NOPE
Today I called my Senator’s office, the staffer who answered the call started lecturing, as usual, so I interrupted her, damn I was unaware how much pent up anger I carried, I went on a tirade that bordered on derangement. The staffer tried interrupting me several times, I shut her down repeatedly. When she threatened to hang up, it triggered me even more. I demanded an explanation why Netanyahu got away when he infringed upon our constitutional rights in our Congress and she’s denying my rights, she blabbered some nonsense, and I filibustered again, demanding to know how much money my senator received from AIPAC and the name of the lobbyist. She claimed she was unaware. I told her I expected an answer next week. I know it’s publicly available but they need to feel the wrath of their constituents.
After the call, I had mixed feelings, I could have handled it properly. And felt guilty the way I treated the staffer.
Then I see your video and some of most pathetic folks I’ve come across, Miller and Patel, parroting their usual bs, and I rile up again . If they had an ounce of dignity , they would either resign or ask to be reassigned to another office. Their feebleness is pathetic, and they know it.
I used to work overseas and came across pathetic asshats from State. Many (the majority )lack principles, brown nose their superiors to get promoted( they all want to be Ambassadors), complain about the country they’re assigned to, and worst of all have a silver tongue that spouts unbearable bs. I wouldn’t trust them working at a McDonalds. Their Ivy League degrees are worthless especially when they need to man up. I used to ridicule some of these holier than thou types. They call themselves diplomats, but only a handful go out of the Embassy’s bubble and meet regular citizens. Most are insular, snobby, and only mingle with the local elites. That’s why we get things wrong, they rely on the elites feedback and these asshats push the elites bs to Washington. Damn, I did go on a rant. Apologies, not my best day. I’m tired of the heartless treatment meted out to my Palestinian brethren.
Nope Hope for the Dopes of the DNC to do anything to stop the genocide in Gaza!
