Oh my god! Our next Emergency Teach-In addresses head on the Breaking News from the Israeli Knesset, and we quote their statement: “AMERICA MAY NO LONGER BE ISRAEL'S BITCH!”
We are living in dangerous and despicable times that threaten the hand-over of our hard-earned tax dollars to Israel. Unfathomable! Who’s going to help Israel inflict its ethno-supremacist Democracy? Enforce its Apartheid rule? Support infrastructure for fanatic Israeli settlers in the West Bank? Who’s going to Fund Israel’s Genocide and protect the Israeli Knesset and courts that preside over substantive Israeli debates about whether routine raping of Palestinian detainees is OK. Not only is the thought jarring to our conscience; it is a resounding failure of Western values, and, yes/oui/نعم، an indictment of Western Teezilization (طيزيلايزايشن) as a hole. Seriously, how can we all live in good conscience in a world where the United States is no longer Israel’s "bitch?"
