I think it's important to note, that this is not how refugees leave countries under attack. They don't go to the airport with suitcases packed for flights to their other houses in Europe or the US. This is how settlers leave the territories they occupy when the shit hits the fan.
Thousands of Israelis are seen heading to the Ben Gurion Airport as they prepare to escape.

remember this, when Biden tries to take credit for a "ceasefire" or "brokering peace" early next year. He gave Israel carte blanche to commit genocide as long as they don't f*ck up his re-election bid by dragging it out too long.
The official Israeli broadcasting authority reported, that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has set the beginning of next year as a "final" deadline for the war waged by the occupation on Gaza to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace is literally what Israel is willing to commit genocide to prevent
Hamas unleashed a terrorist attack because they fear nothing more than Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace.
To continue down the path of terror, violence, killing, and war is to give Hamas what they seek.
We can’t do that.

Remember, the demand is to defund the police (the goal is their abolition). It is not to replace the old police with new police, or to charge an individual cop. To start, mayor's need to cut a huge gash in their police budgets & promise to redistribute those funds to communities.

Hi beautiful ppl:
If you have loved ones in NYS prisons. Send them lots and lots of soap. They can’t have hand sanitizer because they contain alcohol. But bars of Dove soap are allowed. I don’t believe there’s a limit. I’ve sent 20 before.
