The courage and strength of ordinary people who have no choice but to live in war torn regions of the world never fails to astound me

I've just been listening to a woman who watched her own child get his brains blown out
I don't know how she was even upright and able to speak

I mean, who could blame someone like her for wanting to seek refuge for herself and whatever remains of her family in a safe country

American farmers are hurting big, but they'll still support the man who deliberately allowed this to happen.

It reminds me of the story of Job except more twisted. Trump promiseth and Trump taketh away. I wouldn't be surprised if they still supported them after they've lost their farms, their savings, and developed a festering terminal illness.

It's so difficult to feel sorry for these people.

Starmer said that racism in the metropolitan police is "shocking"

I'd say that reaction is "shocking"

This man has no passion whatsoever

I wonder what Starmer's response to this synagogue stabbing in Manchester just now...."Tut tut"?

I've been hearing from my mother, as well as reading on the internet, that Trump ordered the military to relocate to Portland and Chicago to use as a "training ground" (AKA go on a manhunt for Democrats and Non-Trump Supporters), and go on a "government shutdown" in order to give Dems "more pain".

And the majority of Americans STILL support this guy....

And also, I'm thinking of the song "Star-Spangled Banner" sung in a very sad and melancholic tone, representing the US' ironic downfall.

The grass-roots spread of anti-Zionism has inspired certain elements of society to conclude that killing Jews is the right thing to do. The attacker was of Syrian descent. I have nothing against Syrians but if his parents grew up in Syria, they were probably taught to hate Israel their whole lives and I don't think it unreasonable that they may have also been encouraged to despise Jews in general although most people will claim that's a specious conclusion, so feel free to decide for yourself. But anyway, the current anti-Zionist atmosphere certainly encouraged him to act on any animosity he already felt towards Jews, now that he probably expected his deed to be seen as a selfless act of bravery in support of all victims of Jewish perfidy world-wide.

Trump and his acolytes (Farage, Le Pen, Wilders, Orban, Erdogan, et al) consistently spew the Globalism/Soros/Elite drivel that leads to this.

Most hate Jews simply for not being Christians.

Loads of people aren't Christians. I'm not a Christian. I'm an atheist.

Many of Trump's close associates e.g. Steven Miller are Jewish, plus his son-in-law is Jewish, plus he had a serious man crush.on Jeffrey Epstein, back in the day. Plus he is no Christian.

It's the Left in the form of anti-Zionists, as I explained above.

The growth of anti-Zionism does create a real danger, though not the inevitability, of a growth in general hatred of Jews. In my opinion it is important to counteract this danger, not by endorsing Zionism, but by (1) debunking anti-Jewish myths, (2) calling attention to the existence of anti-Zionist Jews and other Jewish critics of Israel, and (3) educating people about the history of Christian Zionism, without which Jewish Zionism and the state of Israel likely would never have gotten off the ground, much less gotten massive support from the U.S.A. for so many years.
