#U.S. Occupation

[yearningforunity]

A symbol of resistance

Charlemagne Péralte

Charlemagne Péralte was a Haitian resistance leader shot by U.S. forces during the 1915 occupation.

After Péralte's death, U.S. troops displayed his body posed in a way that resembled a crucifixion – tied upright with a Haitian flag draped over him. This photo was intended to intimidate the Haitian population.

However, it backfired. The image resonated with Haitians, making Péralte a martyr and a symbol of resistance. There's even a famous Haitian painting called "The Crucifixion of Charlemagne Péralte for Freedom."

God I hate monarchs… the king and his concubine…. Two more people who need to have a 1-on-1 with the National Razor… a thousand curses on the U.S. occupation, Syngman Rhee and subsequent regimes for preserving the traditional aristocracy…

Here's your daily reminder to click for Palestine!!!

U.S. residents, take 5 minutes and use this link to pressure your members of Congress to stop sending weapons to the Israeli military!!

(Letter variants you can copy/paste under the cut!!)

Original letter written by Jewish Voice for Peace:

I am writing as your constituent to ask that you do everything in your power to press the Biden administration to suspend all weapons shipments to the Israeli military, and oppose all future military funding to Israel. The Israeli government has vowed to push forward with a large-scale military operation in Rafah, even though President Biden has repeatedly said such an operation would be a "red line." On May 7, the Israeli military seized the Rafah border crossing, a crucial passage for humanitarian aid, and ordered 100,000 Palestinians in eastern Rafah to evacuate. The 1.3 million displaced Palestinians sheltering in Rafah will have nowhere to flee should a full invasion commence. Millions of Palestinian lives now hang in the balance. I urge you to do everything in your power to stop this unfolding catastrophe before it's too late. Thank you.

Slight variations I created (so that emails don't get marked as spam for being identical to each other)

Variation 1:

I'm writing to you as your constituent to ask you to do everything you can to pressure the Biden administration into suspending all weapons shipments to the Israeli military and opposing any and all future military funding to Israel! The Israeli government is pushing forward with a large-scale military operation in Rafah. President Biden has repeatedly said such an operation would be a "red line," yet his administration is still supporting this operation. On May 7th 2024, the Israeli military seized the Rafah border crossing, a crucial passage for humanitarian aid, and forced 100,000 Palestinians in eastern Rafah to abandon their homes. 1.3 million Palestinians have been displaced. Those sheltering in Rafah have nowhere to flee during a full invasion. Millions of Palestinian lives now hang in the balance. Their fate lies in the hands on Congress, in your hands. I urge you to do everything in your power to stop this unfolding catastrophe before it's too late. Thank you.

Variation 2:

I'm writing you today to ask that you do everything in your power to convince the Biden administration to stop funding Israel. We have to telk them to stop all shipments of weapons to the Israeli military and oppose all future military funding to Israel. The Israeli government has vowed to push forward with a large-scale military operation in Rafah... President Biden made it clear that such an operation would be a "red line," and yet he continues to fund them. On May 7th of this year, the Israeli military seized the Rafah border crossing, a crucial passage for humanitarian aid, and forced 100,000 Palestinians to flee their own home of Eastern Rafah. Should a full invasion commence, 1.3 million displaced Palestinians sheltering in Rafah will have nowhere safe to go. Millions of Palestinian lives now hang in the balance. I am begging you now, as your constituent, to do everything in your power to stop this unfolding catastrophe before it's too late... Thank you

Thousands of Havana residents marched along the Malecon of the Cuban capital to denounce the war crimes of the Zionist state of Israel against the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip.

“It is heard, it is felt, the Palestinian people in Cuba is present”;

“Alert, alert, alert that walks, the voice of Palestine in Latin America”;

“The people united will never be defeated. Long live the Palestinian cause. “

These were the chants that were repeated in the crowded march called by the Union of Young Communists (UJC), which in a determined way moved from G and Malecón, passing by the U.S. Embassy and concluded in La Piragua with a Tribune in solidarity with the victims of the Israeli genocide in Palestine. The UJC entitled the event as the March for Life and Peace in Palestine.

President Donald Trump's plan for the US to "take over" and take “ownership” of Palestine’s Gaza, removing its native Palestinians population to create the "Riviera of the Middle East," has drawn stark criticism globally as an overt attempt to forcibly displace the enclave’s indigenous Palestinian inhabitants.

Announcing his transformation prospects at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Trump said that, “The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it … level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area."

"I think the potential in the Gaza Strip is unbelievable," he added.

Western media giants framed Trump’s Gaza takeover proposal as an “innovative” and “courageous” business opportunity, portraying the plan in a positive light, with many headlines omitting any mention of the Palestinian territory’s residents or the consequences for the two million Palestinians displaced inside the besieged enclave – namely, further displacement and eventual erasure.

Understanding the Wide Range of Hearing Protection Devices Available in the U.S. Hearing Protection Devices

Importance of Hearing Protection Hearing loss affects millions of Americans every year due to prolonged exposure to loud noise. Prolonged exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can damage hair cells in the inner ear and potentially lead to permanent hearing loss over time. Some of the common causes of loud noise exposure include operating power tools, working in construction, attending live concerts, working in factories, and recreational activities like hunting, target shooting, and use of personal watercraft. Wearing proper hearing protection is crucial to avoid damage from these loud sounds and preserve hearing ability long term. Types of Hearing Protection Devices There are a variety of hearing protection devices available on the U.S. Hearing Protection Devices to suit different noise environments and user preferences. Some of the main types include: Earplugs - Earplugs are small, flexible devices that are inserted into the ear canal to act as a barrier against loud sounds. Disposable foam earplugs are very inexpensive but also tend to be less comfortable for long periods of wear. Reusable silicone or rubber earplugs last longer but require proper fitting and maintenance. Custom molded earplugs offer the highest level of protection but also have a higher upfront cost. Earmuffs - Earmuffs form a seal around the entire outer ear. They contain padded ear cups connected by a rigid headband. When worn properly, earmuffs can block up to 32 dB of sound, protecting the ears from impact noise and continuous loud noise. Earmuffs tend to be bulkier than earplugs but provide more complete protection and are easier for some users to insert/remove. Combination Devices - Dual protection devices combine the sealing of earmuffs with insertable earplugs. They offer maximum attenuation of up to 38-40 dB, making them ideal for work in extremely noisy environments or around explosive blasts. However, combination devices are generally the most expensive type. Level-Dependent Devices - Also called electronic or active earmuffs, these devices contain sound sensors and Signal Processing Circuitry. At moderate sound levels they function like standard earmuffs, but they automatically reduce amplification and lower sound transmission when noise exceeds safe limits. This allows normal hearing at lower volumes but protection from sudden loud bursts. Get more insights on U.S. Hearing Protection Devices

Cairo, Nov. 29 — On Monday, U.S. participants who are part of the Global Conscience Convoy went to a scheduled meeting with the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, to encourage the embassy to do its part in allowing the convoy to help break the siege of Gaza, and to help stop the complicity and support of Israeli genocide that the entire U.S. government is guilty of and profits from.

A U.S. embassy representative admitted that giving weapons to Egypt and Israel allows the U.S. to have leverage in their decisions. But they had previously said they had no influence with Egypt to allow the Global Conscience Convoy through!

Skilled Immigrants Are Entering U.S. Illegally 

In recent years the U.S. numbers of undocumented migrants from India and China have increased dramatically. For example, in 2023 there were more than 65,000 such immigrants, most of whom are skilled.

Most Of The World Agrees Illegal Regime of Isra-hell’s Occupation Of “Forever Palestine 🇵🇸” Must End. The War Criminal, Liar, Conspirator, Genocidal U.S. Is Fine With It.

The United States Voted Against a U.N. Resolution that Sets a 12-Month Timeframe to End Isra-hell’s Illegal Occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.

— By Jonah Valdez | September 18 2024 | The Intercept

The U.N. General Assembly endorses a resolution calling for an end to Israel’s “unlawful” presence in the region within 12 months, which was introduced by Palestine, in NYC on Sept. 18, 2024. Photo: Selcuk Acar/Anadolu/Getty Images

The United Nations 🇺🇳 passed a historic resolution Wednesday that calls for the end of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza, with 124 of the 181 member states voting in favor of the measure.

The United States, alongside 13 other nations, voted against the resolution, continuing its unconditional support for Israel’s actions in Palestine.

The sweeping resolution builds on an unprecedented July 19 ruling from the U.N.’s top court, the International Court of Justice, which declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories as an illegal, apartheid system that must cease. The latest resolution, introduced by Palestine, affirms the July ruling, setting a 12-month timeframe for the withdrawal of Israeli military from the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including the removal of Israeli settlers, a halt to Israel’s annexation of Palestinian land, as well as the return of land seized from Palestinians since the occupation began in 1967.

Wednesday’s vote had 124 nations in favor of the resolution, 14 against, and 43 abstaining. In addition to the United States and Israel, the coalition of 14 nations opposing the resolution included just two European states, Czechia and Hungary; two South American countries, Argentina and Paraguay; the African nation of Malawi; Papua New Guinea; and six tiny Pacific Island nations.

“This resolution makes it abundantly clear that the vast majority of the international community support the findings of the International Court of Justice that Israel’s 57-year occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory is a violation of international law and should not be allowed to continue,” said Jessica Peake, an international law professor at UCLA Law, adding that vote is “historic” given Palestine’s status as a new member of the United Nations General Assembly.

After the assembly approved a resolution — despite U.S. opposition — in May, the State of Palestine has been seated among member states and given the right to introduce proposals and participate in committees, but still cannot vote.

However, the U.N. resolution, much like the U.N. court’s July opinion, is not legally binding, and the U.N. has no way of enforcing its rulings.

“And so now it’s on other member states in the international community to really put pressure on Israel and its allies to make that happen,” Peake said. She mentioned potential levers to get Israel to act, such as countries more vocally urging the end of the illegal occupation, withholding military aid, and issuing further sanctions. The United States sends billions of dollars of military aid to Israel each year.

Much of the opposition against the resolution had to do with its scope, with some nations arguing it goes beyond what the July advisory opinion asks for. Nations who voted against the resolution, or abstained, criticized the 12-month timeframe of ending the occupation as unrealistic and said Israel needs to be a more significant negotiating partner. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield previously said the resolution further undermines efforts to negotiate a two-state solution. President Joe Biden’s administration, much like previous administrations, has said it supports Palestinian sovereignty and a two-state solution but has yet to lay out any viable path toward accomplishing it.

Further obscuring any efforts toward Palestinian statehood, Thomas-Greenfield said during a panel at the Council of Foreign Affairs in New York that Palestine is not ready to be an independent nation. “I do not believe the Palestinians, as they exist right now, have all of the elements to give it statehood,” she said, adding that she had concerns around “issues of peace and security.”

Even so, Peake said the U.N.’s recognition of Israel as an occupying power is accurate and said the 12-month timeframe gives the resolution a needed deadline.

“Otherwise, we just have some rather nebulous statement that is encouraging Israel to withdraw,” she said. “I think it really helps us see 12 months from now, what has Israel done? It puts a time limit on it — it puts a moment in time where the international community can look at Israel’s behavior and take stock of has it, or has it not, fulfilled the recommendations that the General Assembly has made through this resolution.”

Ahead of the vote, more than 30 human rights groups released a letter urging U.N. members to vote in favor of the resolution, as well as the end of weapons sales and transfers to Israel. The letter listed violations of humanitarian law, such as the use of arms to attack Palestinian civilians, including children, arbitrarily imprisoning Palestinians, and the deprivation of freedom of movement and medical assistance.

“Failure to adhere to the ICJ’s advisory opinion will send a message that states can be selective in their application of international law,” the letter read. “It is imperative that states reinforce and show their commitment to international institutions and the international order that has been in place for nearly 80 years.”

Here are the websites for the two main competitors for the democratic nomination for president. If you are American, vote for one of these two in the democratic primaries so that we can get rid of Biden. That way, when the general election comes we won’t be stuck between two genocidal monsters.

Hey, don't you find it fucking TERRIFYING that now people in other countries also have to fear the results of the U.S. election, because the most popular Republican and Democratic candidates are both pure fuck evil, tyrannical genocial monsters with no remorse? But yeah sure "Biden is a great guy, let's just IGNORE that he can bypass Congress to kill Palestinian women, men, children, elders, etc, and not to codify Roe V. Wade! We swear he's actually fairly liberal!" No Biden is a fucking monster, a remorseless demon. He has no intent of ceasing aid to Israel until Palestine, and anyone else that Israel deems a threat, is gone. Get that through your thick fucking skull, bludgeon it in if you must, Biden is not a great guy, nor a "lesser of two evils," he's TREMENDOUSLY evil, he's just nice about it.
