Trump and Netanyahu Have Many Things in Common

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump was born on June 15, 1946. Benjamin Netanyahu came into this world on October 21, 1949. They are both old, white men who live in the past. However, these are only two of the personal traits  they share. Both men claim to love their countries. Both are liars. They love what their countries can do for them. Both men talk about the law, but have no respect for their Supreme Courts, or the laws agreed to by the World Court, protecting human rights and preventing atrocities, including ethnic cleansing and genocide. At this very moment, Trump is engaged in ethnic cleansing. Netanyahu has murdered tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza, in what can only be called ‘genocide.’ Not only do both old men choose to force their people to live in the past, where hatred, racism, and bigotry were commonplace, they have chosen to become dictators, renouncing their elections as democratic leaders.

RELIGIONS WERE ALL FOUNDED ON PEACE AND LOVE IN THEIR ORIGIN Much of the world’s history involves violence between religions. Battles between Pagans and Christians led to the Crusades and war between Christians and Muslims. These bloody and senseless battles began in 10...

Republicans, Desperate for Votes, Pander to America’s Jewish Population

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over the last couple of months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has exposed who he really is. He is no better than the man who attempted to exterminate all Jews in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Attempts to Gain Autocratic Rule and the Destruction of the Palestinian People Netanyahu was exposed as a man who hates all Palestinians simply because they exist. His efforts to amass absolute power over the last year are opposed to democracy and support a fascist regime. He is no better than the greatest enemy of all Jewish people, Adolf Hitler. All attempts to build lasting peace in the Middle East have been thwarted by Netanyahu. He has refused to negotiate in good faith with Palestinian leadership. Netanyahu will never end his attacks on the Palestinian people until they are exterminated. Republicans are Desperate for Votes in 2024 Freedom Caucus Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has invited Netanyahu to speak on the floor of the House of Re...
