We live in a world where rights are being stripped, histories erased, and lives debated. In such a world, neutrality is not a moral high ground, it’s a privilege.

Only those whose identities, freedoms, and safety are untouched can afford to stay silent. But the rest of us know better. Neutrality doesn’t protect the vulnerable; it protects the status quo. In this essay, I explore why neutrality in times of injustice is complicity, and why silence, in the face of harm, is never truly neutral.

Yup. Most of the world sees the #genocide in Gaza for what it is ⬇️

At a news conference Wednesday, Jonathan Whittall, the head of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Gaza, described the first site to which the often distraught and hungry Palestinians had run as "a militarized distribution point established on the rubble of their homes."

"The newly developed distribution scheme is more than just the control of aid. It is engineered scarcity," Whittall said.

Das tut gut. Mit Menschen sein, denen das Leid anderer und ihr Recht auf Leben nicht gleichgültig sind.

Last Sunday I preached on Luke’s “blessings and woes.” Following service an angry parishioner declared, “Leave politics out of church!”
I write a weekly meditation for my parishioners and this month I’ve been focusing on Black History Month. Tomorrow I focus on #FrederickDouglass who ripped the American church for supporting slavery. Hint: you can’t take politics out of church, ESPECIALLY if our society mistreats any of God’s children.

@ViXY_DBC Furthermore, #hamas is not a resistance group. They are not freedom fighters.

They exist for only 1 reason: to destroy Israel and kill all Jews everywhere. There is nothing noble or moral about what Hamas is doing.

Gaza was FREE. Israel walked away, withdrew all settlements, and allowed the Gazans to decide their own fate. They elected a government that included Hamas (and Fatah was the majority party).

It was HAMAS that drove Fatah out of Gaza, turned it into an armed camp, and initiated a new series of wars with Israel.

It was HAMAS that killed Palestinians in Gaza who refused to do Hamas' bidding.

It was HAMAS that refused to negotiate peace with Israel.

Nothing Hamas has done has been directed toward peace or the good rule of Palestinians. They are only interested in committing #genocide

Regardless of what you think of Israel's conduct of the war since October 7, 2023, Hamas (and Hezbollah in Lebanon) has refused every opportunity to end the conflict.

#Gaza is screwed as long as Hamas exists, not because of #Israel but because of #Hamas

The same is true for #Lebanon. The Lebanese people will not have an effective government or a chance to rebuild their country as long as #Hezbollah (whom many Lebanese refer to as Hezbshaitan - the "Army of Satan") exists.

If you're unwilling to reject what Hamas and Hezbollah stand for - the deaths of all Jews and the destruction of Israel - then you advocate those goals, too.

@Tengrain @si_irini @TonyStark From Gen. 3:6 “she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband, WHO WAS WITH HER, and he ate.” (my emphasis)

How come nobody ever blames Adam for not having the balls to speak up against the misinformation of the serpent?

"Join us live from the DNC to hear directly from uncommitted leaders and speakers to get the inside info about what is happening at the convention.

Hear from delegates about their experience on the floor of the convention, what it means for the campaign to win an arms embargo, and find out what happens after the DNC in the fight to end this genocide."
