We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.
I think a communist government like China is a failed democracy. While socialism could be a failed communism. The difference is that Communism would someday want to be a democracy, while Socialism is content at the level of those who benefit from it.
A crime against humanity is understood by the genocide of six million Jews, but the idea goes further. Recent antisemitism like you see below in my opinion is a crime against humanity. This means it is international regardless of it happening in Los Angeles. It effects the way we perceive ourselves, and to those who did these things they were done with others. In the final analysis we are all worse, and perhaps modern times and tecknology is partly to blame. A reason for fighting evil is to prevent us all from being a witness to our inhumanity. Not that we should hide things, but that we must see our better angels.
So, I am against the war in Israel, but that doesn't mean I am opposed to people defending themselves. War is not the way I prefer if diplomacy can solve things. I respect it when people choose not be to involved with a war, but don't respect when people take advantage of a situation. The fact that people pray on the weakness of people in crisis as seen recently is yet another sign of our species.
What began as a half hearted Department of Fictions/ THIS IS FICTIONS has becme more important over time. The administration found that I could do some remarkable things. It wasn't even known to me that I had this talent, but it kept showing up. And now you understand a bit better.
Ode to reason; DIVIDENDS AND DIVISIONS Norway’s sovereign wealth fund cuts Israeli holdings, while courting top American pro-Israel execs Norway’s sovereign wealth fund said on Monday that it was divesting from 11 Israeli companies and had terminated its contracts with external fund managers in Israel over concerns regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank, Jewish Insider’s Matthew Kassel reports. Background: The decision follows a review initiated last week by Norway’s finance minister amid media reports that the fund had in recent years increased its holdings in an Israeli jet engine company that provides services to the Israeli military. Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, has worked to build relationships with American business leaders who are supportive of Israel whom he has hosted on his podcast in recent years, including Michael Dell of Dell Technologies and Jonathan Gray of Blackstone — who among others have prominently engaged in philanthropic efforts to support Israel following the Oct. 7 attacks.
I made a friend who was a Palestinian while living in Chico. Eventually he had to share that he felt that Hitler should have killed much more Jews, and that what he did pleased Allah. I was like "Oh that's nice" and it eventually this ended our friendship. True Story.
