Billy Graham died with a fortune. They are one and the same, friend.

Only if it's the general populous that does it. I.E. only done by civilians. I'll never be pro government sanctioned killings. Ideally, the government falls and we all just learn how to make do and live in peace with one another, but that's an idyllic fantasy.

The language she uses is why I despise the evangelical movement. It deigns us powerful and that leads to abuse of that power and supercilious arrogance that you are forever justified. No wonder the western christian church thinks their defecation smells of roses.

Death is the only thing that unites the human race. We will all die, someday. It's beautiful to see shared grief. The pain of endless decades, over a half century, of occupation. The pain of innocent Israelis killed by their own country over 20 years. Because the Hannibal directive isn't the only time Israel kills it's own people. There is so much grief that it's saddening to see an event like this and see people measuring grief. If you lost your mother and I lost my mother and father, would I not still weep over your mother? Don't let pain divide us further. The innocent people of both countries who don't want violence are victims. Those who desire violence, deserve to die by the sword.

When you see human lives as expendable, war becomes something as trivial as chess.

This callousness is saddening to see, continually. I'm exhausted. But I won't let them win.

For that reason I say, I saw a little baby bee taking a face bath in my wildflower garden today. And an opossum came out from under my gazebo to say hi. These are the things to focus on. Yes, yes.

My friend, please do not be angry with me. I was only speaking as to why the Arab community went for Trump. It is difficult to discuss politics. This kingdom, as many others will fall. Many people will die. Tale as old as time. Mashallah.

I don't care about downvotes lol

Yeah, I got friends/family out there, so I get it. Like most things in this world people draw a moral line in the sand and play the trolley problem. No answer is the right answer, unless that answer is zero violence.

 

Flights from Sanford, Orlando, and Ft Lauderdale will leave 4 May.

Edit: My brothers and sisters. My beloved family on the internet, please do not get harsh with each other. I was merely trying to demonstrate that this is a difficult issue and placing blame on the victims of a barbaric governmental system is ridiculous when it is the government to blame. Please be kind to one another. We are all victims of this cruel world. Let us instead grieve together. In Love. Bless all y'all

Well, to be kinder to them; their options were watch their family die, or a final hail Mary and maybe Trump can do something. He did seem to be pretty against the wars in the middle east, according to media. Which I know was deception. So, I dont fault them. I fault Harris for not just saying, "Yes. I will end Israel funding and end the war in Gaza." She could have just done that and swept the win. But dems wanted to play party politics.

So, the people who are waking up every day to find a new family member dead, should not be faulted. The party that abandoned them should.

And lastly, put yourself in their shoes. You have two candidates. One says that what Israel is doing isn't great, but isn't bad and we should just keep rocking on. The other guy is the devil, but he's saying that he'll save your family. It's hard to think when you're in those situations.

Like most things, life is hard. It's gray and nuanced and contradictory at times. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. We have no real control over elections anyway, because not enough people vote. Better to just read on the porch with a cup of coffee and watch the bombs drop wondering when it'll end.
