Excuse me??
Have you ever heard of William Hitler? He was Adolf's nephew that ended up joining the U.S. Navy and fought against the Nazis.
One would think a legal name change would have been in their top 5 things-to-do-after-the-war list.
Spoiler: he did.
He did actually, after the war he changed it to Stuart-Houston.
There was also a funny moment when he first joined the Navy:
On reporting for duty, the induction officer asked his name. He replied, "Hitler." Thinking he was joking, the officer replied, "Glad to see you, Hitler. My name's Hess."
Oh yeah, it's all coming together now.
Diala Shamas is senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), a hunan rights nonprofit headquartered in New York City. She said that while donations to communities like Ma’on, “are illegal under international law and could be illegal under US law, the problem has always been one of enforcement”.
She believes that attorneys-general could prosecute over donations funding illegal acts, and the IRS could enforce its own rules on equivalence, but “Israeli causes have enjoyed complete impunity”.
Yeah, let’s not hold our breath for consequences.
Sure would be great if media outlets stopped calling it "settlements", "settlers" and such.
I'm not a settler if I went to Canada, shot the owner of a plot of land, declared it as my own and had all my friends move in.
Always has been. How do you think early settlers claimed land? Israel is the modern reflection of settler colonialism in action.
Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace and a former diplomat, said that such fundraisers were telling of the strain on Israel’s military. “It’s December 2023, and it sounds like parts of the IDF are basically begging for basic equipment, which is fascinating,” she said.
Man, are you telling me we're subsidizing their genocide for billions every year and they still can't get their soldiers basic supplies? Fuck's sake. Like, it's great that their efficacy is limited by supply problems considering they're attempting a, y'know, genocide, but the sheer incompetence is fucking staggering.
What's worse, is that Israel spends more per capita on defense than the US.
note: Israel doesn't publicize that data. The numbers come from financial projections
Israel spends more per capita on defense than the US.
Tbf Israel is surrounded by a few countries who would find great joy in annihilating her.
America is bordered by a big happy face to the north, and in the south a large tortilla.
This is correct.
This is correct.
It also runs a donor-advised fund, a kind of nonprofit entity which have been widely criticized for, among other things, concealing flows of “dark money” to rightwing causes.
This is infuriating.

This is why BDS is necessary. Money going to Israel will always fund their genocide.
