Slave Masters

(Opinion) Highly unlikely you'll ever see this headline: Hamas and Iran are the true Slave Masters of Gaza. 

The provocative fact that Senate Majority leader Chuck Shumer is himself Jewish doesn't help him. The senator could not be more wrong and off-target with his call for new Israeli elections, and the immediate auster of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

The gross entitlement, insolence, and arrogance of Shumer's words are loathsome and repugnant, yes; but also they are unprecidented. Never has an American politician called for elections and new leadership of a trusted ally, the only democracy in the region, with its current duly elected leader presiding with a unified war council that includes all parties, as Israeli fights to simply exist. 

Senator Shumer, with his foolish and dangerous rhetoric, has only helped Hamas and all extremists continue their jihadist quest to destroy Israel, and also the US. Shumer's concern about civilians in Gaza includes no mention whatsoever that Hamas uses civilians as pawns, human shields, playing chips in a cowardly game.

Hamas can also end the conflict instantly by accepting defeat, but that is incompatible with their hateful charter calling for Israel's complete annihilation. It's entirely true that Palestinians have lived like slaves in horrible bondage. Choosing killers for leaders and teaching their young to hate Jews has only brought Palestinians chaos, death, and destruction. And, there is still no statehood. 

Senator Shumer would have been more truthful to call out the real oppression of terrorism's tyranny. Israel is not a defacto territory of the US, and has fought valiantly to survive since forever and counting.  

The IDF is the only force on earth that warns civilians, and takes very hazardous measures by policy to minimize casualties. Hamas blocks evacuations, steals relief supplies, and takes over hospitals. Palestinian suffering is just more propaganda for Hamas recruiting. 

The senator- and the Whitehouse- are cynically hoping his appeasing the terrorist sympathizers will get Joe Biden votes in Michigan and elsewhere, and the political goals here are unmistakable and sordid. It bears repeating: Hamas and Iran are the true Slave Masters of Gaza.

Binary

Binary choices are always ruthless by nature. One applicant, controlled and scripted, parsing every public word. The other, reflexively candid, never stops talking and self-promoting.  Love or loathe, or some pragmatic in-between view, the binary choice couldn't be simpler. With both candidates, prior agendas will continue, with one big contradiction.  Harris can not claim both realities: Harris can not say there is "no space" between Joe Biden, but also reversing now on so many issues. So far, there's no explanation with weeks remaining.  Methodical hiding is a strategy as Basement Biden successfully proved. But, it's the opposite of both transparency and credibility.

Be Wary

Be wary of smiling pundits. Disagree, if you can. But, the following is true by my experience: there is no longer a free and fair press in the US.  News platforms have become propaganda pushers of corporate and political policy. American investigative journalism is dead. Facts take a back seat to spin. Narrative is more crucial than accuracy of source.  News stories are too often headlined with brazenly misleading distortion, intentional inclusion and exclusion based on whatever supports their self-interest. What you accept as verified fact can greatly affect your life. Do your own research, check important stories of interest independently. Who's behind the message that is so ardently promoted?  News networks, today, cannot be trusted to adhere to codes of conduct that prioritize truth and impartiality. Power politics and their myopic, partisan agents are the information players on your screens, hoping to influence. Be wary of smiling pundits.

Strictly Opinion

360°, every view is a bad one in this election. The scripted, ugly political machinations are typical. It is continually painful and regrettable that crass personalities and openly flawed characters must be factored out with both starkly undesirable candidates.  Racial identity, gender, bombastic rhetoric, and shallow, transitory issue positions are all thoroughly irrelevant now. Capability does critically matter. The biggest picture voters must consider a singular, consequential question: Which presidential candidate do America's sworn archenemies clearly and desperately favor?
