It's seemed like the U.S. government-aligned media is doing all it can to bring on civil war. I'm sure it's seen as preferable to the uprising of the 99% that we so desperately need.
But I didn't expect that the issue we'd fall out about would be the empire's evil doings in Palestine. More and more violent Zionism is emerging here in the U.S. both in word and in deed. One of the men shot for speaking Arabic and wearing a kuffiyeh has a bullet lodged in his spine, and the gunman is still at large.
With each passing day, though, the split between the generations is deepening over support for or resistance to Israel's genocide in Gaza.
It isn't a red-blue split or even a (fake) left-right split.
It's not driven by race or by socio economic status either.
Blogger Caitlin Johnstone says, Israel doesn't have a Gen Z problem, they have a morality problem. And she theorizes that younger people have not scarred their consciences with so many compromises and looking away from things that make them morally queasy. Thus, they are better equipped to recognize genocide when they see it.
A common sign in Vermont reads: this brave little state says no to hate. Does it, though?
Burlington, Vermont is the stomping grounds of Senator Bernie Sanders, a big supporter of genocide as it turns out. He was once its mayor. He owns a fancy house on the shore of Lake Champlain. It's noon the next day after the shooting and he has yet to 1) condemn this hate crime in his backyard or for that matter 2) condemn the genocide in Gaza.
Honestly, I personally couldn't care less what Bernie says or doesn't say. It's been clear that he's a faithful Democrat Party apparatchik for years now. But you wouldn't believe how many people still see him as some kind of a moral leader.
I don't want to see civil war in any country including my own. But it may turn out to be the most effective way of bringing the evil empire to its conclusion sooner rather than later.
For ways to support the shooting victims who are still in hospital maybe call the Burlington Police 802-658-2704 or the mayor 802-865-7272 mayor@burlingtonvt and/or the Vermont State Police 802-224-8727 to say:
the whole world is watching while you fail to find the shooter targeting Arab young men.
