This thread documents a perverse determination by the Trump administration attempting to erase the historical record of black G.I.’s who faithfully served in the European theater during WW2. They have no shame.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

There are no words for Sudan-- the "blood bath" conclusion marks the complete failure of the international community. This is a horrific situation & like so many other wars, I doubt there will be justice for these survivors & their families.

The entirety of Scripture goes out of its way to make the point that Israel came from unsettled nomads and that Christians are always resident aliens in the world; there is no group we should have more affinity with than those without citizenship in a particular polity.

The pattern of evangelicals ‘ghosting’ their Christian Arab brothers and sisters has gone on for decades. It is not antisemitic to insist on justice in opposing Israeli settler land grabs. The difference now is that it has become official US policy.
