Ok here’s a post that will probably offend about ½ the country, get me kicked off Social Media sites again, and get a lot of <synonym for excrement> from family, friends, and strangers.
BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), here goes!
I am moved to almost tears — and I’ve only cried real tears a few times in my life — I’m not a “crier” or a “Karen” about most everything. I try an emulate The Buddha, WWJD, and be the pessimistic optimistic (i.e. plan for the worst and be pleasantly surprised when it turns out better than expected) I think I am. On most things, I figure “small stuff” “this too will pass” and “it could be a lot worse”. I sit at my keyboard nearing the end of my adventure and “Face Life”. Just like this blog’s title “Reinke Faces Life”.
This <synonym for excrement> in Gaza has got to stop. Killing starving humans and inflicting savage trauma and death on little children has really gotten to my heart and soul.
While there is little I can do about it directly, other that sit and rant, I don’t intend to sit and let it go on without speaking up. Pastor Martin Niemöller spoke up when there was big price to pay.
Now I am a gun-owning pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian and think that the “system” is the problem. But this has gone on too far and for too long.
The President DJT4547 can stop this with a stroke of a pen but seems to be unable to muster up the moral fortitude to say to Israel: “Stop! The USA is not giving you another dime until it stops.” (He could do the same with Ukraine but that’s a topic for another day!)
I have never been a fan of the US foreign policy for as long as I can remember. The Christian Brothers, all vets from WWII and Korea, made me anti-war. I remember the pro-Israel propaganda back when I first recognized it in the movie “Cast A Giant Shadow”. Bit I also remember the USS Liberty being attacked by Israel and the US Gooferment didn’t say “boo”!①
Yes, I remember the atrocity of October 7th. It was horrific. But, when you have humans in box and are torturing men, women, and children, don’t be surprised when the “worm turns … … into a snake” and bites you. When you back men into a corner, they will attack with savagery and mercilessness that will stun you.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Seems like Palestinians are a lot like the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.
So starting today, I am going to annoy all the politicians and bureaucrats to stop funding Israel.
