Because the definition of character is not how one treats me, but how one treats others.
Because one has the right to sacrifice and compromise oneself, but not others, not by commission, not by omission, not by social association.
Because real Jews understand that every day the State of Israel persists, they are in grave and griveous danger and bondage from all manifest destined greatness, and are continually reduced in number.
Because religion is not actually your “team”.
Because of the essence of religion https://studio.youtube.com/video/iQi_iKBhyLw/edit
Because a specific exception is a universal exception – "except for Palestinians" "except for Arabics" "except for ""Muslims" – two distinct and independent groups – except for any culture, except for any religion, except for anyone, anywhere, at all times.
Because hypocrisy means having no value and no credibility and means everything by said is lie – it couldn't be different
Because Palestinian Christians are people too, like the good-for-wicked and fit-for-purpose Yezidis, together with all Iraqis.
Because the troops were sent to Iraq to kill and steal, and most of them were knowingly aware and consenting.
Because a half million dead babies (and twice as many adults) are worth it for further material comfort for the wealthy, but it wasn't for everyone living in greatdom (though all of us got economic scraps)
Because not everyone was consenting back home.
Because the women wearing headscarves walking down the street are the bravest of the brave, and dismantle patriarchy and hierarchy and power by existing. And as so any visible minoritized, anywhere.
Because the bravest of the brave.
Because Palestinians hailing “G_D is Supreme” while missiles drop near them.
Because again well-fed people aren't living in Nazi Germany, where there is a machine gun nest outside your house which requires you to fence-sit or march in line.
Because the spectacle of “stop the war” by nominally Jewish protesters is just an immediately desirable step, because the solution is dissolution, not return incremental genocide. And doubtless many of them work for dissolution. And possibly many are just antsy during brunch.
Because we are all Palestinians.
Because approval of anyone is potentially good and desirable, but we only answer One Authority.
Because of commissions and omissions, choices actions and speech [which is an action], and social association – which is intangible and tangible and material and all substantive support. "I'm not like that I'm friends with everyone."
Because if you pretend to be nice and ecumenical in front of me for my vanity you make me your slave, if I tolerate it and you – when I know rightly cannot.
Because if you promise to pretend in front of me, I will tell myself and you that believe you. Thus.
Because if you eat and drink and mix with people of a stripe, it means you are one in the material sense, since your works are joined.
Because even given that, parents siblings and kids might be an exception. But not friends and partners.
Because we're not all Ruth and Moses and Abraham, but they're good mythological examples. And we might mean to be.
Because if I work for Coca-Cola or a subsidary, my job is to poison children and feed the sugar. And I consent to this mission every day, for money, even if I’m just I.T. support.
Because scripture says – that if possible – you should give people a chance, at least one, maybe more. But not indefinite. And you can’t compromise the welfare of others in doing so.
Because you can’t compromise the good to indulge the wicked.
Because scripture says you have to forgive ignorance or stupidity, but not feigned ignorance and stupidity, and not dishonesty.
Because the one who improves may be preferred to the one who starts gifted
Because Zuleikha is one of the few who could rebuke Joseph.
Because we are materially accountable even if not knowingly morally responsible.
Because if scripture isn’t saying so, I am. If a person has more authority than anything or anyone else.
Because Tagore wrote it's better to walk alone.
Because of Hannan Ashrawi
Because Jesus
Because Edward Said
Because Gandhi
Because of the infant Palestinian child with her face torn off – which house in Tel Aviv belongs to her, by legal records approved by the State?
Because malcontents don’t speak lies so as to commit murder. They commit murder so as to speak lies as a celebration.
Because malcontents maybe really do speak lies so as to commit murder. Or fraud.
Because everyone has an Iron-Age Jewish Syrian ancestor if not more than one, and no one more than today's geographic Syrians. And they don't even care.
Because again all the perverts, fraudsters, religious terrorists, war criminals, thieves and liars need to be taken to Nuremberg, without exception
Because George Habash and Edward Said and the 20% of Palestinians who aren't Muslim are also cool:
Because emphasizing superficial concerns for bait and switch, to make people feel moral, is part of the deal for propaganda marketing
Because the vampire's castle sold by the media lets bad actors give me the counterfeit of morality and intoxicate me
Because BDS means no Starbucks, and nothing from anywhere, anywhere in occupied Palestine, without exception
Because you don't have to be "Muslim" or "Arabic" to oppose Zionism.
Because the Jewish ritual of Zionists has nothing to do with their evil
Because Zionists aren't Iron Age Syrian Jews, much less "Jewish" in descent any more than half the planet's population. And definitely less so than some persecuted folk 😉
Because you can't rehabilitate Nazi Germany or Apartheid South Africa – when so many of the Wehrmacht and the factory workers in the Ruhr, were in practice war criminals. There was only one option.
Because the breakout of the Gaza ghetto involved courage.
Because bad actors also carry *State flags, and will co-opt anything and anyone to determine your morality in a ritual of power. "Don't rock the boat and be a team player." And never discuss morality, religion, politics and taxes. Be a one issue voter. And don't identify or think about the issue.
Because again you can't buy Jesus / Witness / Redemption with money by approval of the Chosen
Because if G_D is witness to me, it is everywhere for everyone all of the time, before and after, and one narrative of it isn't exclusive, but is incidental like my black hair, and is just for me
Because self-respect is the chief element of courage.
Because of Honesty and Courage and Humility and Wisdom and Humility which are all the same.
Because we are given everything, and the only thing we can give back is courage
Because nobody is responsible for what another does, whether you are related to them or fantastically look like them or behave like them. But everyone is responsible for their own choices.
Because civil rights motion, in the United States, was compromised by an enterprise of evil.
Because healthcare and education globally is compromised by an enterprise of evil.
Because choice and accountability is absolute to personal freedom, I think at least for me, all of the time.
Because again we have the right to compromise ourselves or sacrifice ourselves but not others, or excuse on others' behalf. Not by commission not by omission not by association.
Because we hate the sin not the sinner, because creatures can't condemn other creates – of course not.
Because again we are materially accountable even if not knowingly morally responsible.
Because we are free.
Because there is no way folk from Germany and Lithuania and Belarus are native to Palestine when non-Jewish Palestinians are not
Because millions in the UK protested the Iraq war and it made no difference and now millions are condemned to perdition at best, because of fence setting.
But not all of us
Because again an enterprise of evil requires the cultivation of evil, and nobody is free unless all Palestine is free.
Because you won't solve the climate crisis without dismantlng and deconstructing state of Israel.
Because of this video and its description:
Because no justice no peace
Because by any means necessary
Because the Earth belongs to G_D[DESS].
Because you can occupy public space.
Because you can make a public scene. Go to a public space with a friend.
Because you can and very often should be rough with the rough. Measure for measure in exactly like kind.
Because Satya me vaJayante.
Because if they are reduced to physical violence to compel it is done and over. And it is.
Because so many in other places and times have done well by others for others, and you owe it to them, as well. And they in their lives knew before I or you did. And better.
Because a creatures’ physical attributes are by ultimate design, their height or or the unique complexion or their intelligence. Or their preferences. Or their weight – they never did anything to themselves, except that you did. Or their ancestry. But not their character. No narrative makes a difference.
Because people commit truth because of choice, not because of birth.
Because you should Love with all your heart and all your might.
Because the Absolute loves courage.
So don’t eat or drink or mix with Zionists. Or with people who do. Or Hindutva-types. Or Nazis. Or Fascists of any type. Or any gratuitious prejudiced. Especially if they pretend for you. Especially if they pretend for you in presence of others.
Because that’s the easy part.
Be faithful to your agency.

Why?
Because an enterprise of evil requires the cultivation of evil, everywhere in every sphere
Because Zionism is the critical point of leverage.
Because you will never solve the climate crisis without Palestine, without exception without compromise
Because there is no hierarchy of oppressions
Because intersectionality
Because one can’t compromise or sacrifice the presumed good to indulge the known wicked. But you can sacrifice and compromise just your self for them, if you choose.
Because one has the right to compromise or sacrifice and release oneself, but not others, not without consent
Because there is no compulsion in religion
Because teleology and deontology, ways and means and ends, ends and ways and means, are all important and difficult
Because we are absolutely accountable and responsible for our freedom
Because no creation is a spurious statistic
Because every creation is with purpose and immortal value
Because no creature can destroy another, but any creature can harm and disenfranchise and libel and slaughter unjustly.
Because at least some creatures can ruin themselves.
Because apparently it’s good thing to be beyond good and evil for love of a noble and great vision.
Because who do I make money and dinner for, and drink with, and where do I go to sleep at night?
Because it is supremely important
Because Lao Tzu suggested you can’t “fix” people after the age of 10
Because adults can be innocents too, but children always are by definition
Because all traditional cultures say likewise.
Because rabbis concluded a person is accountable after a certain age
Because Divine Intervention is always possible and goes without saying
Because you can’t presume on that in vain
Because again, one can’t compromise or sacrifice the presumed good to indulge the known wicked. But you can sacrifice and compromise just your self for them, if you choose.
Because white supremacy by another name is chosen supremacy
Because anyone can be de-whited, or whited
Because accepting any place in hierarchy is slavery and destruction
Because anyone can be compelled by harm to themselves or others to being enslaved, but a slave in English language is a slave in heart.
Because violence by the oppressed is not the same as violence by the oppressor
Because of the injustice of violence, and the sorrow of it when you don’t know specifically
Because people sign up and consent and contribute in masses to bodies very often, and then are aghast of their virtue being questioned.
Because people can even be paid in lies as their preferred currency, in addition to gold.
Because during 40 days in the desert, someone rebuked and rejected lies and liars.
Because Arabic kafir translates as “coverer up, deceiver, liar, ungrateful, unbeliever” all in one.
Because “don’t hurt my freedom to kill and steal” is not valid unless you are in fact born Great.
Because Chosen people in the Zionist sense is not compatible with “monotheism”, or any good religion.
Because we all have loved ones and are afraid for them, also courtesy from the last of the male beatniks:
Because of infiltration and goblins in the chat, and secret wifi devices on your motherboard
Because of string and image replacement, and bogus links and references and forum questions, and "warfighters" and public rent to the underserving
Because speakers are microphones, and the inbuilt GPS devices in your car are always powered by the battery
Because software processing can change and record voices, and detect whispers, and play them back, like audio soundboards
Because data mining for advertising is versatile – and not actually inventive.
Because war criminal means Nuremberg and outcomes, else we endanger others, and we don't have that right
Because you can get cancer and diabetes and stroke and all kinds of fun from induced stress and vagal response
Because stress and fear mean you can't learn, can't work, can't perform
Because of strange visits from strange people, and customer service with multiple monitors and nominals and coaches
Because of General Soleymani an ISIS-foiler. And he doesn’t want to be singled out.
Because of Noera Ayaz. And she doesn't want to be singled out.
Because of Kayla Mueller. And she doesn't want to be singled out.
Because of vastly, vastly, many many more. All better than me.
Because of the Apollo program.
Because you can excuse ignorance and geniune stupidity but not dishonesty. And dishonesty likes to pantomime ignorance.
Because people who live contrary to your values shouldn’t be in your society.
Because you do our best, with all our heart and all our might whatever that is.
Because it only takes a few people to make a difference if they just do something with their lives.
Because YOLO means do something substantive while alive, as somewhere written, “by fleeting time”
Because you can't kill random people, take their s*** because G_D says so, that you are chosen and this a sacrament. You can’t compel others to accept your religion by violence.
Because it isn't any different if you kill close up instead of afar, because it demands clarity and self-confrontation to not giggle, deny, claim no intention, or celebrate the fact. When you know you're going to confront the Creator very soon after.
Because the premise and praxis of Zionism is that "non-Jewish" life has no value, and harming and sanitizing for it in kinetic ways is a holy sacrament, implicitly, and whenever convenient. "But I'm not paying for it now so it's fine."
Because you can't buy Jesus and Redemption and Witness with money – by approval from the Chosen, oh wouldn't that be convenient for me?
Because people in different places and times do change their religion, sometimes abruptly, and sometimes progressively
Because Chosen by narrated bloodline is just not good for non-Chosen newborns.
Because Chosen by subjective appearance, or wealth, or intelligence might be better or worse?
Because Chosen may be a human invention.
Because morality is not my craven material interest for gold or murder or fraud. Or some group convenience for any craven material interest.
Because Snowden the Overblown did quote someone, that the definition of principle is that it applies to someone other than yourself, that is exists outside of yourself.
Because Snowden is charismatic because he was clever and had access, but cared nothing for evil until his "Great Ones" were compromised.
Because you would never tolerate your kids in Gaza prison, for time.
Because the plan to is defraud and murder and then do libel of corpses, when Palestinians and others have persisted in the world on by Principle .
Because the plan was to conspire to hate, and then conspire to lie, and then conspire to harm, and then to do these things, and then libel the victims. A group concord done by select people.
Because – horribly enough – the wicked will not deny a good investment.
Because I am not going to sell out one genuine keeper of Law i.e. “Jew” regardless of their ancestry or appearance.
Because there has to be material accountability for some citizens of State of Israel, and the like elsewhere.
Because you never tolerate crazed and murderous and perverted religious fanatics armed to the teeth, screaming they are chosen, craving torture and harm and murder and fraud, and demanding that you are unholy pollution that has to be cleaned, barging into your world. And neither should Palestinians. And they don’t.
Because people who support Zionism could sacrifice their own homes and lives and wealth and children, if they are okay with having Palestinian people suffering for it like that, and having suffered for it like that.
Because after all, you really can buy Jesus, given he is subject to your natural greatness, but also blesses you for it
Because someone who seeks to deceive and corrupt and misguide you by definition can never have your good interest at heart.
Because Buddha said not to break bread with people of bad character, very clearly, contrary to “I don’t want to bring myselves to their level, I’m not like that I’m friends with everyone” California Buddhism.
Because eating drinking mixing and mixing with people by indulging them you empower and legitimize them, and receive their karma.
Because you are a not a teenage Syrian refugee girl who has to play footsie with bandits so that father has enough food. But someone had more disposable income and social comfort for Fyre Festival, paid in full by blood and life?
Because there is no machine gun nest outside your house like Germany 1938. At least hopefully not.
Because Hindutva 2023 is Germany 1938 and has plenty of polite takers elsewhere. But If my neighbor is polite to me and agrees with me, it's all good.
