If we kill innocent people with impunity, some of the family members of the people we kill will want to kill us back. And that's how cycles of violence go on for generations.
That's why the obligation to stop the violence always rests on the folks with the bigger guns.
Many many many Muslims died on 9/11, from working class to executives.
Are we revoking Steven Miller’s card?
I was shocked that the very nice bread and breakfast owners we stayed with in England had pick-a-ninny dolls for sale. I am ashamed I let my sister-in-law talk me out of saying they were offensive.
It cannot come soon enough. Empires are terrible for the planet and it’s people.
It’s very strange that many headlines today are a about war making petroleum more expensive rather than war killing people, harming people, destroying the environment.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Vermont, huh, resolve that initial when most immigrants are in Florida in Texas?
Well over 100 groups of Mennonite and Amish. Colony Mennonites tend to be the most insular and the least concerned about how their actions affect other people.
Photos show a large alligator and small alligator outside and immigrant detention center. The large alligator holds a sign saying "Fascists out of our Everglades." The small one holds a sign saying "Alligators for immigrant rights."
And who are unfortunately destroying rainforests throughout Latin America. (I am Mennonite.)
This happened among Colony Mennonites in Bolivia.

What I don't understand is why former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is given a pass. In Giuffre's book, she says he raped her violently, leaving her bleeding from her mouth, vagina and anus, but the focus is on Prince Andrew and not on him.
Also invests in West Bank settlements.
That sounds antisemitic. If her father hung out with Epstein you can just say that, without talking about his Jewishness.
We need an organization that tracks actual antisemitic incidents instead of conflating them with Palestinian solidarity. The FBI doesn’t differentiate religious hate crimes.
In Israel, non-Jewish and Palestinian residents are being denied access to bomb shelters.
“This is the meaning of a supremacist, racist regime.”
Thank you for your service.
How many more American soldiers and Iranian civilians need to die before Democrats will drop their Epstein inquiry?
connection with creation, humans included, and those gifted with a compassionate heart will find a compassionate god, whatever religion they are. My own experience with God is that the Creator uses those who stand with God to transform evil in this world.
and myths of their people, in which God played a more beneficent role. (There are multiple names for God in the Hebrew Scriptures, btw, not just YHWH.) In today's world, too, fundamentalists of any religion will project a severe, punishing god, while mystics will project a being who seeks
It definitely colored how they viewed their history, as a people who had repeatedly succumbed to the gods of the nations around them despite the warnings of the prophets. For some of them, God was indeed an angry vengeful being. Others were more interested in collecting the oral histories
It means that the people who curated the Bible had varying attitudes based on the circumstances in which they found themselves. Much of the Torah and the histories were assembled in Babylon, after the Babylonians had destroyed Judah and carried away the elites and artisans of that country.
I'm bookmarking this for the next time a man laughs at the vanity of women.
running the government of Israel, it is not a religion that supports genocide or human rights abuses. I worked with a human rights/accompaniment organization, and I can say Jews are disproportionately represented in that field, as they are in antiwar efforts.
who craves justice for the poor, the widow and the orphan, as a hen who wants to gather his people under his wings like chicks, as a creator who delights in creation. It's a collection of books from different eras in the history of Israel. If you look at Judaism today, aside from the madmen
The conquest narratives in the Hebrew Bible are difficult texts to deal with. Archeology shows that the conquest did not take place as written. And the text shows there were plenty of Canaanites around well after the Hebrews entered Canaan. Other parts of the Hebrew Bible depict God as a being
And Jesus said there would be no traditional marriage in Heaven. Matthew 22:30 (and Mark 12:25, Luke 20:34-36). So whether it was M+F I'm guessing was not important at all to him.
