The Israeli state killing 20,000+ human beings in Gaza – mostly women and children with no connection to Hamas … seems to me like genocide being committed by the state of Israel.   A little like what the Germans did to the Jews leading up to WW2 – these are human beings beings being killed by USA supplied 2000lb bombs supplied by US taxpayers $.

Who are the winners?  The bomb makers that are probably now drinking champane at thier good fortune being in the business of making bombs.  What is the World coming to?

Cows do not form armies to kill each other – they just wait around to be turned into steaks.  What a World we live in.

Best Wishes to all in this Holiday season and envision a World of Pease and Harmany where war and killing do not exist.

Sincerly,  the folks @ zpub.com

Is he competing with Hitler to see how many humans he can kill?  20,000 deaths in Gaza – mostly women and children with no connection to the Hamas operation.  All done with 2000 lb bombs supplied by US taxpayers.  Then the Israel army killing 3 hostages who were trying to surrender.

Does Benjamin Netanyahu take any responsibility for all the killing.  Wonder what goes on in his mind.  Where does it end?  With the starvation of 2 million Arabs in Gaza?  What is his plan?  Even the UN and Biden question/condem what he is doing.  A war crimes trial will not bring back the people he has killed.

My sense is that People from Jewish ancestry are some of the brightest, funniest and intelligent people in the World.  What would Hollywood be without the Jewish folks that created it?  J&R electronics in New York is one of the most ethical businesses I have ever dealt with.   But my sense is that Brand Jewish is being badly tarnished by the quote “settlers” on the west bank in Israel killing Muslims and Arabs with no consequences.  Fathers and kids killed by the “settlers” and stealing the land from people that have lived in the area for generations.  Not sure how it will all work out – but the idea exposed in some in the Israel press that the hair of one Jew is more important that the lives of 1000 Arabs.  Not sure about the Zionistic project – a country where Jews are given preference.   Modi is India is trying to do the same – trying to make India a Hindu nation – not a full democracy.  Even going to the extreme of killing people in other countries that do not support his project.  What is the World coming to?  Think Rodney King had it right when he said, “Why don’t we all get along?”

Who put up/paid for this bilboard? – and it was modified to add genoside – Is Netanyahu and zionist project a recreation of what Hitler/Germans did to Jews in Germany?  Just wondering.  17,400 women & kids killed as of today – how much many more will Israel kill?  … seems like War crimes to me …. and all being subsidized by US taxpayer dollars.

A person I know that lives is Israel even called me anti-Semitic for even asking the question – what did he think of Netanyahu in response to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle.  Name calling in my book is not an intelligent argument.

Just some thoughts from an old, white guy living in San Francisco.

What do you think?

ISTANBUL, Dec 4 (Reuters) – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would eventually be tried as a war criminal over Israel’s ongoing offensive in the Gaza Strip, while slamming Western countries supporting Israel.  Turkey, which supports a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict, has sharply criticised Israel over its campaign in Gaza, launched in response to militant group Hamas’ rampage on Oct. 7. More than 15,500 people have been killed in the Israeli air and ground attacks, according to Gaza’s health ministry In a speech to an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) committee meeting in Istanbul, Erdogan said the Western nations supporting Israel were giving it “unconditional support to kill babies” and were complicit in its crimes.  Source:  Reuters

What is a war crime? Will Netanyahu be charged?

They came finally came through with the product ordered and paid for.   I appreciate what it is like to start a small business and have had good expeirences with them in the past – and they have good prices and interesting products.    But asking  the customer to wait on hold for 2 hours with FedEX for a botched delivery – not good.  But they made good on their promise.   Thank you.

If you ever have problems with your order, we’ll do everything we can to make it right. As a small company, we aim to treat you like family. We know we’re in business because of you.

In a world of disparities, where fortunes divide,
The cry of "Eat the rich" echoes far and wide.
But pause, dear comrade, and let empathy guide,
For wealth often hides a soul that's deeply inside.

Consider the burdens of those who amass,
The weight of possessions, the fear of loss's grasp.
Their opulent mansions, a gilded cage,
Where loneliness lingers, a constant stage.

Private jets whisk them to distant lands,
Yet their hearts remain tethered, bound by worldly demands.
Divorcees grapple with love's bitter sting,
Child custody battles, where emotions take wing.

In the end, they too face mortality's call,
Six feet under, where riches avail naught at all.
So let compassion soften our fiery rage,
For beneath the surface, there's a human cage.

Instead of devouring, let's seek to mend,
To bridge the divide, where kindness can transcend.
For wealth is but a fleeting, material guise,
While empathy's touch can truly suffice.

A Black man in the Bayview, his plea so clear,
"Just stop the killing, let's end this fear."
His words echo through my heart and soul,
A call to action, a tale untold.

In the city of dreams, where nightmares roam,
Black lives are lost, far from home.
Guns and violence, a daily plight,
Stealing joy, extinguishing light.

But the Black man's plea ignites a flame,
A spark of hope, a renewed refrain.
"Just stop the killing," he cries aloud,
A message of love, piercing the cloud.

Let's heed his call, let's unite as one,
To end the violence, beneath the sun.
Let's build a community, strong and true,
Where peace and harmony forever accrue.

For every Black life lost, a wound so deep,
A scar on our hearts, we can't keep.
Let's stand together, hand in hand,
And build a future, where all can stand.

So let's stop the killing, and start anew,
Create a world, where all dreams are true.
Let's honor the Black man's plea,
And make his vision, reality.

Can anyone guess who this guy is?

Which option you choose, 5 jobs or 5 million, depends on your individual priorities and values.

If you choose to have 5 jobs, you will likely have a lot of money and financial security. You will also be able to afford to live a comfortable lifestyle and travel the world. However, you will also have very little time for yourself and your loved ones. You will also be constantly stressed and overworked.

If you choose to have 5 million, you will be able to quit your job and retire early. You will also have a lot of free time to do the things you love. However, you will need to be careful with your money so that it lasts. You will also need to find ways to stay busy and fulfilled without a job.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to have 5 jobs or 5 million is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer. It is important to weigh the pros and cons of each option carefully and choose the one that is best for you.

Here are some additional things to consider when making your decision:

• Your age and health: If you are young and healthy, you have more time to work and build your wealth. If you are older or have health problems, you may want to retire earlier and enjoy your life while you can.
• Your family and lifestyle: If you have a family, you will need to consider their needs when making your decision. For example, if you have young children, you may want to avoid working long hours.
• Your financial goals: What are your financial goals for the future? Do you want to retire early? Do you want to buy a house? Do you want to start your own business? Once you know your financial goals, you can start to make a plan to achieve them.

If you are still unsure which option is right for you, it may be helpful to talk to a financial advisor. They can help you assess your financial situation and make a plan that is right for you.

To Be or not to Be?  There is no easy answer to this question. It is a question that has been pondered by philosophers and theologians for centuries.  Some people believe that life is a gift and that we should cherish every moment. They believe that we should overcome our hardships and make the most of our lives.  Others believe that life is too painful and that it is better to die. They believe that death is a release from the suffering of life.  Ultimately, the decision of whether to live or to die is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer.
