Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado once asked satanyahu to militarily intervene & help overthrow President Maduro, even pledging to move Venezuela’s embassy to Jerusalem

Now she’s rewarded for inviting a foreign apartheid state to attack her own country so Washington can seize Venezuela’s oil

"Why were Palestinians forced to negotiate an end to their own genocide?

It's really quite repulsive that Palestinians have had to negotiate
an end to their genocide.

It should have been that the world put sanctions on Israel to stop the genocide."

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
