Defining terrorism.

*Acts of terror continue across the country, and sadly, the alleged perpetrators didn't need visas or passports to get here. They were all made in America.

Here in my hometown of Philly, a Jewish cemetery was once again vandalized by folks who obviously feel emboldened after the latest elections in America.

It's sad, really, but this is what we have become as a country.

In Kansas, the guy who shot up a bar wanted to know if the three Indian men sitting there had visas and were in the country legally, before he shot up the place, killing one of them and putting the other two in the hospital.

(For the record, they did. )

We know one thing, the trump administration will not be calling the families of these men or apologizing to the immigrant community for his actions, because, to them, what they did is not really terrorism. Terrorism only happens when an atrocious act is committed by a brown person of a certain religion.

Still, maybe it's better that the administration doesn't reach out.

I mean we see what happened when they tried to reach out to the Jewish people.

"Vice President Mike Pence stands with Israel — but flies flags for Nicaragua.

As Pence declared his unequivocal support for Israel during a speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas on Friday night, one of his staffers tweeted out Nicaraguan flags from the official Vice Presidential account — twice.

"Under @POTUS Trump, we will stand with Israel," somebody tweeted out minutes before Pence's speech, followed by a Nicaraguan flag emoji.

The Israeli and Nicaraguan flags both feature blue horizontal banners. But the Israeli flag's banners are much thinner and enclose the six-pointed Star of David, while the Nicaraguan flag's banners enclose a triangle comprised of volcanoes, a rising sun and a rainbow."

Whoops!

I hope that doesn't mean they plan on starting an illegal war in Israel funded by selling arms to terrorists.

One thing I have noticed about the domestic terrorism inspired by the Bannon/Trump administration is that the targets are demonstrating the human decency that the perpetrators lack.
When they burned down the mosque in Victoria, Texas, they raised over a million dollars online to rebuild it, and the local Synagogue gave the Imam their keys so the Muslims would have somewhere to worship while the mosque is rebuilt.
When they vandalized the Jewish cemetery in St.Louis, Muslims raised money to repair it. They initially hoped to raise $20,000 in a month, but surpassed that amount in three hours, and as the money continued to pour in, they put it in an account to be used to repair the damage to the Jewish Community Centers that have been vandalized lately.
So the efforts to dehumanize Jews and Muslims by terrorizing them are having the opposite effect as they demonstrate publicly their basic human decency, sort of the way Fox News' attempts to sway public opinion against gay people backfired when the heightened attention they received just exposed how boringly normal gay people actually are.

One correction: In the Kansas shooting, 2 of the 3 men shot were Indian. The third guy was a Euro-American who was shot trying to take down the domestic terrorist who opened fire in the bar.

"'Under @POTUS Trump, we will stand with Israel,' somebody tweeted out minutes before Pence's speech, followed by a Nicaraguan flag emoji."

Aside from our ranting mini-tyrant of a president excluding most media outlets from press conferences -- leaving only his sad propaganda bootlickers -- there is another roadblock to reporting on him: his staff's crappy press releases.

Reporters are having to spend extensive time inspecting official White House communications for falsehoods. Not only do they have to fact-check these released documents for outrageous intentional lies, but they are riddled with all sorts of sloppy, avoidable errors as well (similar to not knowing the difference between Nicaragua's flag and Israel's). Occasional errors are normal, but the Trump White House's booboos happen with such regularity, it can only indicate serious incompetence on the part of staffers.

We shouldn't be surprised by this. Nobody decent or well-qualified would ever want to work for such a gigantic dickhead as Trump, so relentless half-assedness comes with the territory.

Israel takes advantage of religious conservatives who believe that Jesus can only come back is their country is still around. Too bad no one is honest enough to admit this. For proof read the Texas GOP's platform which states we need to support Israel because the bible tells us to.

Israeli citizens, Jewish-American supporters of the state of Israel, and Christian fanatics are all victims of Netanyahu's manipulative rhetoric in this sense.

Netanyahu constantly cites a threat that Israel will somehow be annihilated if they negotiate with Palestinian Arabs and give up the West Bank to them. But this is flat-out preposterous in 2017. There is no realistic possibility that Israel, armed to the teeth and backed up by Western military power, will be destroyed; Israel faces some security threats from angry Arab militants, but not an existential threat.

dinthebeast said...

PX: And the hard-liner Jews feel no compunction about using the Christian conservatives for their own benefit, as that is what is being done to them.
Another case of a situation seen popularly as "in need of fixing" which is actually functioning exactly to spec for those in charge of it.

The vast majority of "terroristic" acts towards Jewish Americans are done by Muslim Americans.

The vast majority of "terroristic" acts towards Muslim Americans are hoaxes.

What is being demonstrating publicly is their culture's ways of manipulating the basic human decency of white people.

CNN said...

It’s been five years since the death of Trayvon Martin — an unarmed 17-year-old black high school student — who was fatally shot by a neighborhood watchman.

His death sparked the Black Lives Matter movement — arguably this era’s Civil Rights Movement — and protests nationwide calling for justice for Martin.

To reaffirm the moral foundation of this cause, let us recall the facts of that fateful night, as dutifully reported by the Real Media:

Eighth Grader Trayvon Martin is walking home in the dark in his graduation cap and gown, clutching a bottle of medicine for his ailing father.

Aryan Nation Member George Zimmerman is driving around in his Confederate Flag-draped pickup truck, listening to country music and drinking Bud Light.

Zimmmerman spots Trayvon through the night by the glow of his halo.

The Klansman is filled with Hate at the sight of such Goodness, and takes chase.

Trayvon, sensing the pure evil of malevolent White Racism, runs for his life.

The football star Trayvon nearly outruns him, but he is trapped by a "Do Not Enter" sign.

Faced with certain death or disobeying the law, he makes his stand.

Trayvon attempts to reason with his attacker but the illiterate Racist will have none of it.

Zimmerman steps out his vehicle, the moonlight glaring off his white face, and asks "Any last words?"

Trayvon looks his executioner straight in the eyes and says "Civil Rights".

"WHITE POWER!" exclaims Zimmerman as he unloads with his fully-automatic Assualt Rifle.

Even then, if not for the Republican Party, Trayvon might have survived, but the skinhead's extended magazine, unfettered by their NRA-serving legislation, feeds hundreds of rounds into the future Nobel Prize recipient.

The duplicitous Nazi then bashes his own head into the curb, repeatedly screaming "Help me!"

When he is finished, George "Literally Hitler" Zimmerman climbs back into his gas-guzzling monstrosity and speeds off, beer cans clattering in the street.

As Trayvon lay dying, the last thing he sees is the "Bush Cheney 2004" bumper sticker disapperaring into the night.

Considering that he came out just last night and declared that the (almost entirely Black-perpetrated) violence in Chicago was out of hand and also for deportation of violent illegal aliens, and YOU are defending the perps, you only have to go as far as the mirror to see one of the bigots.
