In May 2025, Ben-Gvir said that until Israeli hostages were released, the only thing that should enter Gaza was "hundreds of tons of explosives".

If you deny that what is happening in Gaza is a genocide than how can you claim Hamas is engaged in genocide? Israel is ACTUALLY killing the Palestinians. Young men, boys ended up in the hospital with gun shots to their genitals. At least 1,000 babies under 1 year have been killed in Gaza.

You can buy property in Jordan because you have a nationality. You are Canadian. Most Palestinians have no nationality. When the Palestinians were pushed off their land during the Nakba, they became refugees.

Name 1 Israeli Prime Minister who supported a 2 state solution.

Not unlike what the Spanish did to the indigenous tribes in California and Mesoamerica.

He didn't say Hamas's actions were genocidal. He said that included in the definition of genocide is a concerted effort to destroy everything that makes a people a people. That definition was drafted after the horrors of the holocaust when Hitler & Nazis tried to destroy Judaism.

And falsely. The goal of the US wasn't to eliminate the Japanese people, take over their land & claim it for America. At what point did Truman say there will never be another Japan? When did Roosevelt say there will never be another Germany?

Israel wants Gaza and the West Bank. That is clear.

Israel has committed a thousand October 7ths in the past 2 years against the Palestinians. And Bezalel Smotrich
Finance Minister of Israel is the one chanting "From the River to the Sea."

You are leaving out a lot of history in this brief and false analysis.

Who pushed who out? 70% of Palestinians are stateless. Do you know that you could buy property in Jordan because you have citizenship in a nation and Palestinians who were pushed out of Palestine 70 yrs ago, can't?

No nation can kill their way to safety. The United States discovered that the hard way.

And then we changed. Through USAID and other soft power programs, we realized that young people were less likely to join terrorist networks when they had choices; educ, jobs, etc..

and so was the response. 70,000 dead, one third children, 1,000+ weren't even born in 2023. And for what? To spark fear. To destabilize the region. To terrorize.

Donna Kay 🟧🎨👩‍🏫 LA Strong! @donnakay.bsky.social · 14h

What is "terrorism" to you? Killing innocent people? Sparking fear? Massacring whole groups? Targeting civilians? Making people so afraid to live life peacefully?

What has Israel done to the Palestinians over the past 2 years? The brutal and evil attacks on Israelis on Oct. 7 were unconscionable

I am not justifying any type of terrorism. Not that committed by Israel or Hamas. Do you realize how uninformed you are? How many kids are in prison in Israel? Do you know? How many mothers and fathers grieve for their kids they may never see again? Do you know?

But do you read? Ari Shavit? Jimmy Carter? Peter Beinart? Are they all radical lefties, antisemites because they see a pattern.

When you give young people nothing to live for (kill their parents, bomb their home, leave them destitute) they will find something to die for.

Donna Kay 🟧🎨👩‍🏫 LA Strong! @donnakay.bsky.social · 14h

pulled from their beds in the middle of the night. Israel can steal children and hold them in prison as "military prisoners." Their parents have to hire Israeli lawyers bc Palestinian lawyers are not allowed to practice in military courts. Are you following me?

Donna Kay 🟧🎨👩‍🏫 LA Strong! @donnakay.bsky.social · 14h

Why don't you blame Israel who dropped the bombs. Palestinians don't have an iron dome, they don't have passports to leave, they don't have an airport, they don't have citizenship anywhere. 70% of Palestinians are stateless.

11,000 Palestinians are in prison in Israel. Many of them are under 18...

Not justified, but not random either. When young men have nothing to live for (parents killed, home destroyed, no chance of higher education, no passport or way out, no job, no future) they will find things to die for.

How many peaceful Palestinian protesters were massacred while American Christian Evangelicals were celebrating the move of the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

October 7, 2023 was retaliation. Until Israel accepts and admits that, there will never be peace.

Genocide involves destroying identity, livelihood, culture, language, ability to live in a way that confirms their existence.

Israel did that to the Palestinians. They obliterated (like that word better) all manner of civilization; i.e., schools, places of worship, markets, jobs, homes, family.

Cease-fire, aid convoys, prisoner exchanges…
Weirdest genocide ever.

WTF? This deal was carved out 10 months ago. Netanyahu violated it because he wasn't done killing Palestinians.

Israel has always had a problem with Arab birthrate. They kept them down, oppressed and when that didn't work, they imprisoned them, and when that didn't work, they killed them.

October 18, wear yellow, dance in the streets, sing songs and dress up in crazy costumes if need be. Keep your signs positive and have fun.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.
