Individuals like Mike Pompeo et al are the kind of people who are purposefully disingenuous, they use their bullshit on purpose to gaslight people. They wilfully neglect that every cause has an action & an action has consequences, but they always want to begin where they either play a hero or the victim. Such is a highest form of gaslighting.
Iran has always retaliated, they've never been the aggressor. That little bit of information those who've a sense of entitlement always neglect when they're massaging their ego is that other countries maintain historical records too & their sense of entitlement doesn't count in those records.
Sadik Khan just blocked the Met Police from handing over £50 million to a US company, Palantir that provides AI software to ICE & Israeli military. The same company already has £670 million in UK government contracts including £330 million of NHS patient data. To most such action will not matter as they hate Palantir, but they hate Sadik Khan even more.
This facts which most don't contemplate when they complain about immigrants and war is something that's more likely to happen in our lifetime. I guess if there can be war in Europe, they can expect people from other countries to suddenly have amnesia & have good heart.
Dr Margaret Connolly been a GP in Ireland for almost 40 years and one of the released flotilla captives. Well done to her for calling out this inhumane treatment & the silence of the western governments.
For the 1st time western people have discovered how brutal Israel is to those it perceives to be enemies as they don't view them as humans and this is a tactic that has been used by colonialists across the world to suppress resistances which they often call terrorists. They treat them so inhumane in order to crush their spirits. Israel has been doing this to the Palestinians without condemnation from western countries for decades.
Humanity is not about religion, color, country, or language. Humanity is about feeling another person’s pain as your own. It is about helping someone even when you get nothing in return. It always amazes me that some people can't relate to others' suffering unless it happens to someone they know or someone who looks like them. Real humanity starts when we stop judging and start understanding.
