Thank you Birrion Sondhahl for this thought provoking essay!

I posted a link for this piece to Mastodon Social and X, but shadow banning is not an imaginary phenomenon.

These pictures of death and indiscriminate destruction will outlive those powerful but dwindling voices that defend this ongoing genocide.

Thank you for sharing! Shadow banning is definitely a thing, especially concerning Palestine.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have every right to say what they like about Israel and the genocide of Palestinians as elected members of the US House of Representatives; they never took an oath to serve Israel . . .

I voted for Ron Desantis (R-FL) to be governor of Florida, not ambassador to Israel.

The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia . . .

Was he running for speaker of the Israeli Knesset too?

Following his ouster . . . McCarthy (R-CA) traveled abroad again, this time to England, and expressed his open contempt for the white Republicans who make up the majority of the GOP and praised Democrats for their diversity during a debate at Oxford in the wake of his ouster as House Speaker . . .

Is he now running for the Prime Minister of the U.K.?

Nevertheless, he is free to go on media tours bashing white people and lobbying for Israel, because he has now resigned from the US House of Representatives . . . I can only conclude that the collective RINO butthurt over former Speaker McCarthy is all about the Israelis who have hijacked the American deep state war machine.

It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this Ukrainian war against Russia and any mention of Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.

Very powerful article and I am so hoping that your voice and all our voices will rise together to stop this terrible slaughter of the people of Palestine. I spoke with a Palestinian visiting professor once at Whitworth University and he pointed out that in some cities of Palestine the majority of people are Christians. He felt that fact was purposefully kept from people here.

Only one country has the power to stop the bombs. All Biden has to do is tell Israel to stop. I have never been so ashamed of my country.
