Checking our Beepers: Be it Kamala or Trump Sending the Goons, We Will Protect and Keep Safe Our Children and Our Families and Our Collaborative Partners
Below is a good example of what I have been telling those who are trying to convince us to support a genocidal presidential candidate (Kamala) who is supportive of our jailing, beating and even use of lethal force upon us (just like Trump) because we dare criticize Israel, oppose genocide and call for policy change. We want our interests as residents and citizens of the US to be prioritized over the interests of extremists in the Israeli regime and our best interest is to end the genocide immediately. For that we face repression – we face it now under Biden – Harris and will face it some more in 2025 under Harris or under Trump.
We hear about the horrors of Project 2025 and fascism should Trump prevail and we who attend protests against the slaughter of Palestinians by the US government must develop protective volunteers who patrol the perimeters of our event as we face heavily armed police and pro-Israel fanatics who often instigate violence in an attempt to provoke police repression of our events. Demonstrations against genocide usually include participation of family members including children who participate as a necessity – 10s of 1000s of Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza in the last year. Children are in the same survival struggle as adults.
So please – if you want to bloviate about Harris – do not try to convince an anti-genocide protester of the horrendous fascism of Trump. Firstly we know and we have been tasting it for the past year under Biden – Harris. Secondly we know that Harris and the Democratic Party are at the forefront of efforts that require US citizens and residents to support Israel’s right to exist, to defend itself and to receive unlimited US tax payer funds and weapons. Opposition to any of it is said to make supporters of Israel and genocide uncomfortable and therefore needs to be repressed. They are passing laws falsely defining (conflating) opposition to and criticism of US support for Israel as “anti-Semitic.” The discomfort of knowing that the US is slaughtering 100s of people a day, pursuing forced starvation, murdering journalists and destroying hospitals, ethnically cleansing and constructing concentration camps to be staffed by among others former US GIs – the expression of this discomfort is deemed anti-Semitic.
We know that as far as Israel goes – it is a love fest contest between the Democrats and Republicans and that includes giving unlimited funds and weapons to Israel to slaughter Palestinians, to give endless cover and promotion of falsehoods to defend the abject wickedness of the Israeli slaughter, to allow Israel to have an ever encroaching tentacle reach into every aspect of US domestic policy and to dutifully promote the end of protected free speech in the US under the guise of opposing “anti-Semitism” and by that they mean anyone daring to criticize Israel. The joke is to “check our beeper” – which means that they want us dead and if and when they get the chance – they will kill us with impunity.
Trump once said he can get away with killing anyone downtown NYC or somesuch but it is Israel that can slaughter people everywhere with impunity and the pro-Israel crowd in the US is getting ready to bring the slaughter to us here in the US – we are not laughing at the joke and we understand as Israel got away with converting tech devices to bombs to murder Lebanese children and blow 100s of eyes out of people heads . . . they are only itching for the opportunity to bring similar bloodshed to the anti-Genocide protest movement in the US.
Check our beepers? Are you making a joke? Do you think that is very funny? We are NOT LAUGHING!
We are checking the perimeter and watching the laws being pushed by AIPAC bought politicians of both parties to outlaw saying Palestine. We see the lawfare moves of pro-Israel groups to pressure colleges toward a blood bath and we see the heavy campus policing hand in the new school semester. We are seeing the calls for campus massacre on billboards financed by a wealthy NJ Democrat and DMFI Board member. We are aware of the full meaning of what you are saying when you tell us to “check our beeper.”
Your reach for the fascist gun – be it adminstered by Trump or Harris – in response to our movement against genocide is a threat to us physically, legally, economically and in many ways. But it is a sign of your weakness and our strength since we are so unified and strongly relentlessly advocating against genocide. Israel is telling you not to let us get away with it and you are looking for the right time to let us have it.
But we are prepared to protect our own, our children, families and partners in the effort to end this genocide.
We will continue to say Palestine, We say Palestine EVERY DAY and if you make it illegal . . . WE WILL SAY PALESTINE ANY WAY!
