Did anyone watch the video???

These people are chanting death to America because of America’s direct involvement in Israel’s genocide of Gaza. You know…America makes it possible for Israel to “protect itself” with American weapons by murdering starving people trying to get aid that Israel would otherwise deny them.

Who here would allow the hand that feeds you to murder your community with the other with no protest and no other feelings of deep injustice having been done to you?

The tragedy is that the concerns of these people are dismissed as their being conservative Muslims that want to destroy America. It lends itself to perpetuating the violence that justifies the fear and hatred many have of them.

But that’s not un-American. Far from it. Americans are all too eager to ignore the concerns of other Americans. After all, Trump is the product of Americans doing exactly. As he said, he is your retribution.

Here’s a different approach. Maybe America and Americans should try to be less of a raging, violent asshole both in foreign policy and domestically.
