I happened to be democrat decades ago but still receive requests for donations to the party and I always reply with a complaint and not money attached. Yesterday, Biden sent a card "My personal Reply to President Joe Biden" asking for support for the DNC. Today I returned it with this notice: "My conscience does not allow me to contribute to a party whose leadership is perpetrating the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza."

i would do the same with letters from Amnesty International telling them I'd donate when they stand up for Julian Assange. Eventually they did but not much. I haven't heard from them since anyway. I'm still working on my reply to these Friends of Zion sons of bitches. Gods Chosen People they say! If their god is Satan.

"God's chosen people they say!" yes. Archeology and biblical scholarship clearly show that the bible's stories are invented and no factual, and in addition those European Jews who colonized Israel might not be descendants of the original Israelites. I'm reading "Ten Myths About Israel" by Professor Ilan Pappe who is an Israeli Jew and wanted to share this quotes with you:

"There are those who would like to question whether the Jews who settled in Palestine as Zionists in the aftermath of 1918 were really the descendants of the Jews who had been exiled by Rome 2,000 years ago. It began with popular doubts cast by Arthur Koestler (1905–83), who wrote The Thirteenth Tribe (1976) in which he advanced the theory that the Jewish settlers were descended from the Khazars, a Turkish nation of the Caucasus that converted to Judaism in the eighth century and was later forced to move westward. Israeli scientists have ever since tried to prove that there is a genetic connection between the Jews of Roman Palestine and those of present-day Israel. Nevertheless, the debate continues today."

"More serious analysis came from biblical scholars who were not influenced by Zionism, such as Keith Whitelam, Thomas Thompson, and the Israeli scholar, Israel Finkelstein, all of whom reject the Bible as a factual account of any significance. Whitelam and Thompson also doubt the existence of anything like a nation in biblical times and, like others, criticize what they call the “invention of modern Israel” as the work of pro-Zionist Christian theologians.... People are entitled to invent themselves, as so many national movements have done in their moment of inception. But the problem becomes acute if the genesis narrative leads to political projects such as genocide, ethnic cleansing, and oppression."
