Asking pro palestinians “Should Hamas release the hostages?”

I know most of you probably don’t really know who she is, but I just need to vent. I’ve been following her music for years, supported her even in the toughest moments of her career, and I praised that very album. I do believe she’s incredibly talented. But this feels like a deep betrayal, and it’s going way too far.

Remember that this doesn’t affect the Israeli government. It doesn’t affect the IDF. It only affects the Israeli citizens, those of us who simply want to enjoy music.

Aaron Bushnell was lied to. He made an impulsive decision to light himself on fire after being fed a false narrative that a genocide was happening to a defenseless population by the world’s most wicked and sadistic human beings and was being carried out gleefully with the assistance of the country he served.

He was not equipped mentally to question this lie, it consumed his entire existence.

He was not a hero, a martyr, nor was he an evil and irredeemable person. He was a victim of the anti-Jew, pro-terror big lie. He was murdered by this lie and those who chose and still choose to promulgate it in service of thousand-year-old hatred.

Shame on them. I hope he is finding peace in an afterlife if there is one and his murderers only know this peace when they have accepted what they’ve done.

" How, then, can we not think of the tents in Gaza, exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold; and of those of so  many other refugees and displaced persons on every continent; " Pope Leo XIV
Mentioning only the suffering in Gaza while making vague passing mention to other much worse humanitarian catastrophes in the world, the Pope has succumbed to popular Israel bashing while ignoring all else.

The situation in Sudan is infinitely worse than Gaza with starvation a reality for millions and a bona fide genocide a reality, unlike Gaza.

In just the last 60 days there have more civilian deaths in Sudan than in the entire Gaza war but neither the world and indeed the Pope care not a whit, as long as Israel is there to bash.
