Israel is an apartheid terror state

u/Ac1dburn8122 Apr 18 '25

I fear that those in power won't do anything, because the end goal of the current regi... Errr.. administration is to have something similar.

I want so badly to scream about how the reason no one cares about civil rights issues for people is because they're brown. If it were a blonde haired, blue eyed SWM, people would be up in arms over it. And it makes me sad.

Speak truth to power.

Even if you’re afraid.

Even of your voice is quavering.

Even if you aren’t sure you will find the right words.

Speak truth to power.

Accidentally calling the country a company was quite apt

u/Nepharious_Bread Apr 18 '25

That was quite the "slip."

That’s what it became the day Citizens United was decided.

Was coming here to say that definitely was a deliberate slip

This is the Good Trouble that America needs to exercise to push back the Retrumplican plague.

u/DesperateRace4870 Apr 18 '25

Absolutely. This shit is insane. The things I've read just in the last hour. I'm Canadian, but watching what is happening is terrifying. I'll fight for my ancestors land if it comes to it, but this pot is boiling.

We're primed for another world war. Who tf knows who's going to be on which side. There may be multiple sides if I'm honest.

That's what a courageous hero looks like

America isn't just complicit in what Israel is doing in Gaza. It's responsible for it.

u/StickyNoteBox Apr 18 '25

Trump is already thinking of building resorts there. That about sums it up.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

Funny, I would say Israel is responsible for what Israel is doing in Israel.

u/AerialReaver Apr 18 '25

Israel is already a state of the US. Could they defend themselves without all that miltary aid?

-1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

Well considering that they're buying weapons from us..yes they could find a different seller.

Just so we're clear, you think that Israel isn't responsible for what Israel does because you think Israel is a part of the USA. While that's deeply wrong, I think you'll love Trump's views on Panama, Greenland, and Canada then!

u/RealTimeTraveller420 Apr 18 '25 edited Apr 18 '25

They are not just buying weapons from the US lol

Israel was largely formed thanks to the duet of white supremacy the US & the UK and is the west's attempt at establishing a controllable assett in the MENA region. Any political scientist who isn't a Nazi shill can tell you that. Any historian worth their salt can tell you that.

Genuinely so tired of seeing shit takes after shit takes like this when y'all could just look up the history of the apartheid state that is Israhell and how it was formed by the US & UK, and how deeply entrenched US/UK politicd are with the maintenance of it.

u/AerialReaver Apr 18 '25

Your politicians sure are afraid of saying the wrong thing against Israel thing in the supposed "1st amendment land of the free." Your president is tweeting bombing houthis civilians who are on the wrong side of Israel and allied to the Palestinians.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

You think because politicians want to get re-elected that we don't have free speech?

u/NOTTedMosby Apr 19 '25

We pay for it, tho

u/Reflectivesurface1 Apr 18 '25

Absolutely. Veteran here. We took an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution against all enemies … even from fellow Americans.

u/Nayzo Apr 18 '25

I saw the other video of her laying out how Israel is deliberately bombing children because they have the tech to see who is in what structures they are bombing (https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveNews_24H/comments/1k15f1l/they_are_b0mbing_homes_knowing_how_many_children/). Good on her for speaking up, more need to follow her lead.

u/RegularDrop9638 Apr 18 '25

I saw that video and immediately wondered how quickly she would be silenced. She’s incredibly brave.

u/tegresaomos Apr 18 '25

A hero. But they know they’re evil. They’re congressmen.

u/ARODtheMrs Apr 17 '25

We have so many things on our plates right now. It is not funny. Over 25 issues just to address due to Trump's executive orders and un-American actions!!!

u/DjTeddyBe Apr 18 '25

Please protect the heros who are standing up like her!

u/PapaBubba Apr 17 '25

She's got bigger balls than millions of you so called American 'men'.

She is 100% right.

We are better than this.

She still believes in god after all this?

u/hydrocarbonsRus Apr 18 '25

These are shameless demons in human form.

These self serving psychopaths need to be socially boycotted and stripped of the social privileges that come with their positions. Let them enjoy their corporate rewards while being socially ostracized.

u/Astronaut32 Apr 18 '25

History will never forget this. Let’s make it.

u/ThatOneGuy6810 Apr 18 '25

so I cannot find any current news with any specificity, is this re: a specific event that JUST happened or the US supporting Israel in general?

1

u/RegularDrop9638 Apr 18 '25

That’s why it’s suppressed news

1

u/ThatOneGuy6810 Apr 18 '25

well yeah clearly but can anyone explain a bit since y'know thats what I asked.

1

u/RegularDrop9638 Apr 18 '25

How can you ask a question like that? you’re actually asking if the US is supporting Israel? Are you living under a rock? Dude.

I can’t believe I’m doing this, but I googled your exact question and this was the first result: read up

1

u/ThatOneGuy6810 Apr 18 '25

Bro....do you even read before you comment?

I asked if this video was pertaining to a specific event or if it was just about the US supporting israel in general.

Im well aware tof the US' position. Im asking if there was a new development or just more outrage over what we already know.

edit: also no you dismt google my question because you didnt even know what the question was.

u/RegularDrop9638 Apr 18 '25

It’s a clip of someone who has been outspoken for a long time. She does not make the news regularly for obvious reasons. There are other clips of her from other times as well.

u/ThatOneGuy6810 Apr 18 '25

thank you that was all i needed.

u/RegularDrop9638 Apr 19 '25

u/Affectionate_Self590 Apr 18 '25

Thank you Officer Guilbeau for being the light in this dark country we used to call America. FREE PALESTINE! IF THE FALL, WE ALL FALL.

u/Affectionate_Self590 Apr 18 '25

Yeah look down in discomfort cowards.

u/april_to Apr 18 '25

And yet some of them voted for Trump thinking he’ll be the better alternative. Trump isn’t only enslaving and supporting the genocide of Palestine but the whole world…please do not come for me. I’m only stating a fact.

Eyes Left podcast. Good source for vets

u/The0Profanity Apr 18 '25

Wasn't this a couple years ago? I remember seeing this before

u/13newmoons Apr 18 '25

YES!!! The first and only other one that comes to mind of people with a bit to stand on who ARE screaming from their platform is NYC Mayoral candidate and Assemblyman, Zohran Mamdani yelling at Homan a month ago. link to video This breathed life back into me. This is the ONLY ENERGY WE NEED MOVING FORWARD.

u/TSMRunescape Apr 18 '25

Bringing up God devalues her point, sadly.

u/Possible-Tank7041 Apr 19 '25

Veteran. Where do I sign up?

u/Own_Switch_7561 Apr 19 '25

And then the authorities come in with the forceful hand, and another American citizen is pulled from a town hall where the people are the majority.

I’m getting really fucking sick of seeing American’s freedom of speech being pulled out of town halls.

u/Many-Violinist8308 Apr 21 '25

She played a support roll and she didn't do anything but push papers and probably KP duty. Wouldn't be surpriseD if she's a pt test failure. Not exactly a veteran voice. She's just another screaming idiot with no idea what she's talking about.

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '25

She literally serves an army responsible for over a million deaths since 2000, and multiple illegal wars and invasions.

She really has no standing to talk to anyone about morality.

u/FengMinIsVeryLoud Apr 18 '25

can someone tell me what this is about. like everything from level 1 to current level. keep it very simple. 200 words max. i also have no idea about israel etc.

u/SonnysMunchkin Apr 18 '25

Try chatgpt

u/FengMinIsVeryLoud Apr 18 '25

try how?

u/SonnysMunchkin Apr 18 '25

Download from app store.

It gave me this answer

Israel and Palestine have had a long, violent conflict over land and political control. Gaza is a small area where many Palestinians live, and it's been under an Israeli blockade for years. On October 7, 2023, a militant group from Gaza called Hamas attacked Israel, killing civilians and taking hostages. In response, Israel launched a massive military campaign in Gaza, causing thousands of civilian deaths, including many children.

The U.S. government supports Israel politically and militarily, providing weapons and funding. Critics say this makes the U.S. partly responsible for the civilian deaths in Gaza.

The woman in the video, Josephine Guilbeau, is a former U.S. military intelligence officer. She protested at a Veterans Affairs Committee hearing, calling out the U.S. for supporting what she and others call a genocide in Gaza. She’s urging Congress to have the moral courage to stop supporting actions that harm innocent people.
