I have been watching Al-Jazeera (Arabic and English) since October 7th and they have been showing the daily carnage since it started. Can anyone really claim that they are only now seeing these images? Really?
I've seen reported (mostly from Independent news sources) there is a measurable gap of young vs. old Americans who support Israel. The younger generation being far more against the slaughter. I suspect part of the reason is many older Americans are not on the Internet as much as the younger generation - more of whom would probably come across Al-Jazeera sooner or later. Al-Jazeera is the only network I watch for the remarkably brave reporting coming out of Gaza - and also for other events announced or voted for at the U.N. The others I don't bother with.
I've thought a lot about this myself - our generation had kept saying for years how much we'd pitied this generation coming up. Well thank God it turns out we may've hopefully been wrong.
I noticed at first when they discovered the Bin Ladin letter and how it went viral and all these reports about the numbers some as high as 13 million on TikTok or whatever the hell it's called. But what I noticed is the age of some of these replies and what they were saying - they were so involved. It was amazing! One young girl wrote: I woke up this morning to discover my Government has been lying to me about everything!
Look what she said and how she said it - she wasn't just passing criticism per se but rather understanding the depth. I was so impressed as so many others wrote similar things. This was not nonsense, these kids were actually thinking understanding and getting involved AND voicing their intelligent opinion. It wasn't the normal Taylor Swift bandwagon BS.
And then the crisis started in Gaza and they came out in droves. Once again I was listening to how they spoke - and it was the same as before. Well informed well spoken - not some bandwagon garbage.
I attribute it to the reality of being forced to MOVE BACK HOME! They finally-finally get it!
These are educated kids that can't afford to leave home - can't afford to buy a house and now they're asking and learning why! By the grace of God and what little is left of this Third World Country we are living in - maybe just maybe there is a slight glimmer of hope.
Just goes to show you how important media control is and why one of the very first thing anyone who seizes power does is to take over the TV, Radio, and Newspapers.
But when one can't do that -- in the age of social media -- the truth starts to spread faster than a lie. And that is something that many, many believe is something very dangerous -- the fast spreading of the truth -- and will (and have already started to) move to reverse. Let's hope that such a task -- reversing the reality of distributed social media -- will be an impossible one to accomplish.
Very true and well said - the irony being the lies about Covid and the lethal injections. Thank God - one good thing was able to come of this - no one believes anything the media and government say anymore. You can tell by how fast everything is now debunked and the fact no one is getting the boosters. The other side of that coin and I thought about this many years ago when I stopped believing anything - is that there will be a bio-terrorism attack (of course intentional) and people will be instructed to remain in place. No one will believe the warnings and move around instead and wind up killing millions by spreading it. This is how I have always believed they will regain trust! I thought about this YEARS AGO!
Lastly - before social media and even telephones word always got out hence why the deliberately locked us down during Covid and closed all churches and gatherings. Not going to work this time. The other side of THAT coin is people now know they are being monitored and watch what they say. Talk about tyranny!! The revolution is coming or civil war I believe it will commence next year when they try and overthrow yet another election. Trumps lead is far to insurmountable to pull it off yet again. It will have nothing to do with who won and who lost but rather - they did it yet again and so blatantly! I swear Hillary is absolutely coming back! You know she's going to replace Kamila
You know you’re my buddy, but I and everyone else in my circle of acquainted has been “jabbed” and boostered and somehow were still walking and chewing gum at the same time…
My husband had two unvaxxed uncles die from complications due to Covid.
Please accept my deepest and utmost sincerest apologies, I meant no malice and know it's an extremely delicate topic and bone of contention . . . .
Would you be so kind to and not hold it against me by allowing me to say that unfortunately I know at least 50 people who've sadly succumbed to them. Just this week two more - a 60 year old woman - she was my friends 1/2 sister never sick a day in her life - perfect health - got the shot massive kidney failure blood clots and passed Wed night - I saw a friend while walking my dog his - niece 24 year old DEAD 26 days after the shot RARE cancer. I know so many people - even though I'm retired I get around - I deal with the public working part time. But again please forgive me
I say this ONLY because I don't want you to think it's without warrant - I only wish to God it certainly wasn't! Again please accept my apologies as I meant no disrespect!!!!
