    Gaza has been my turning point at the age of 70. I’ve watched mainstream media all my life and have always put comments on American control on other countries down to conspiracy theories. I’ve learned so much now from online news channels and face to face interviews with Jewish scholars/ journalists. I will never look at mainstream media in the same way again and will take much more interest in international politics in the future. One thing that worried me recently was the Kenyans trying to deal with America, I kept thinking “ please don’t get involved with America “.

      Trump supporters are cheering for a convicted felon who says he doesn’t care about them after they vote, his top priorities are naming airports, cities, schools, etc. after himself and getting his portrait put onto a $500 American currency. This is the best and brightest for top political office of the U.S.A.? What is wrong with the people in the USA???

      ⁠@@benqurayza7872thanks for your reply .
      1) your parallel to WW2 doesn’t work very well . Germany and Japan were openly trying to build empires and were the aggressors in their regions .
      Palestinians have been steadily being squeezed off of what is now called some combination of Israel / Palestine for the past 100 years .
      If you know the history it is easy to contextualize what is happening today as inevitable as Israel has left violence as the only avenue towards positive change for Palestinians .
      2) You were informed enough to specify “ 1988” Hamas Charter . Then you must know it was updated in 2017 after they became a political entity .
      So whats the point ?
      You seem to be going with the
      “ you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette “ defense .
      I don’t think you are going to end up with an omelette , just eggs on the floor .

      What a dumb comment. You can't rely ALWAYS on other individuals to do the work you obviously proclaim to do better. You can vote for governor of your state, mayor in your city, county boards, your police chief....there's voting in America from the smallest county to the president. Of course you need to get your behind up from your phone and actually convince individuals to help you run. It's all up to YOU.
      This Russian fable that our democracy isn't a democracy is astounding when you look at authoritarian states like Russia....China....in parts now Turkey and Hungary.
      America's problem isn't it's secular liberal democratic republic and it's voting system....it's individuals like you that don't do nothing but cry on-line. That listen to idiotic sources proclaiming America some deep state controlled by Jews....while Christian nationalists like the Wilkes brothers, the Mercer's, Kochs, Crow, Thiel etc etc are literally funding MAGA in order to indoctrinate individuals like you.... cynical.... conspiratorial.
      There's books concerning the history of our republic....books about the enlightenment and our founders....books about critical thinking skills and media awareness. There's apps that literally separate media sources by political ideology for you.
      Democracy is by far the hardest system of government.... BECAUSE you are forced into compromise. BECAUSE freedom of speech allows mis and disinformation to pervert objective facts.
      Where else on the planet can you as individual change legislation....if it's via voting, speaking at events, voting for public education and what the next generation will be able to access....where else can you find a Catholic church, a evangelical church....a mosque and a Hindu temple in one road without having to fear persecution due to theocratic state religions like in all these Islamic theocracies?
      There's a lot wrong in America....but the things that are wrong comes from the same individuals that don't do a damn thing to make it better. Mainly on the far right....meaning the MAGA lunatics. The tankies on the far left that think America is just some imperialistic police state while they support Putin and his ultranationalist corporate fascism.
      What exactly has Biden for example done that could be considered tyrannical? He didn't start a War like Bush. He didn't attack ALL of our Secular liberal democratic institutions and convinced idiots to storm the capitol....he didn't pull a Watergate.
      Our employment rate is phenomenal. His programs concerning infrastructure can be seen EVERYWHERE....roads, bridges etc are being completely overhauled. While I disagree with his response towards the far right ultranationalist ultra-orthodox Authoritarian Israeli Likud Party government....I see both sides as evil. Who should I support? The Islamic fundamentalists that want to literally eliminate Israel? Yes, historically things went wrong....Zionism has caused much pain. But ALL Islamic theocracies are antisemitic....and it wasn't just Nazi Germany that perpetrated genocide....the polish, Romanian, Italy, Russia, France etc all persecuted jews. The only choice of survival was that small area called Israel....a country full of Jewish history. But we all know how the Arab ultranationalists turned real fast Islamic fascists when immigration went up due to a genocide.
      Without Religion and racism we wouldn't have this conflict. It's also astounding how many individuals play experts concerning Israel/Palestine....but never mention the genocide of the Kurds....what about the Islamic fundamentalists in Iran, Afghanistan, Oman, Syria etc and their religious terror, civil wars, burning of Christian churches (Pakistan), the terrorism against atheists or non believers....attacks against scientists....the brainwashing of children via a stone age religion like Islam?
      Hypocrisy.
      Israel has its rights to defend itself....and Islamic fundamentalist Palestinians have the right to stop Hamas. The Russian civilians could stand up against Putin and his Authoritarianism.
      It's quite telling how people don't care about ANY mass killings, horrible civil wars and tyrannical governments....but as soon as it is Israel.... everybody becomes Trump University PhD in Middle Eastern history....
      It's quite telling....

This has changed the way I see mainstream journalism forever.

      I left the UK 15 years ago partly because I felt strongly that democracy was an illusion and that the ruling oligarchy didn't care at all for the British people let alone the rest of the world, and I didn't believe that would change. I wanted to be somewhere where things were saner and also to raise my child somewhere less hypocritical. I see now that it was a very guided decision. My advice to you is do your research and think hard about which place to choose. If you do stay there, I think Matt is spot on that what is needed is a grassroots movement, and this was echoed recently by Paul Jay about the US. I predict however that the oligarchies over there will probably start rolling in the democracy and freedoms if this movement has any success.

There were more, but they're the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
      The final nail was when he flatly stated his intention to replace ministers of questionable ability and/or national allegiance.
      He was gone less than one sitting week later.
      The key is always if the leader has been elevated by the lay party they'll be left alone in opposition, but the moment they take Government the party executive starts moving to replace them with a 'safer' option.
      Both Rudd and Abbott wanted to draw away from the US, Rudd toward China for economic reasons and Abbott toward the UK for ideological reasons, both wanted to move beyond being an independent state in name only. Both paid the price.
      Neither was perfect, but were definitely the lesser evils nonetheless.
