Con el apoyo de la humanidad , apoyo a Palestina o nos liberamos todos juntos o no habrá libertad . La humanidad no será libre mientras Palestina no sea libre ( Nelson Mandela) pero también Palestina no será mientras haya un solo pueblo esclavo de otros en la faz de Tierra 🌎🌎. Osea se conseguirá con el respeto y la tolerancia bien entendida .

Well let's look at Palestinian run areas and Isreal areas . Isreal government has democratically elected Arab and Palestinian MP's who sit in Parliament. Isreal an elected coalition government ( corrupt but still able to be voted out ) . Isreal funds Arab areas under Isreal education and social governments funding through equality acts. Gay rights Women's rights Palistinians , Hamas run Gaza as elected government by Palestinians. no elections since 2007. Hamas took power whilst in an elected coalition by executing Palestinians in the streets and murdered opposition. No gay rights No equality act Amnesty International have reported torture and kidnapping is used by the Islamic Jhad groups to keep Palestinians under control. Criminal gangs are known to steal aid and funding. Train minors to kill. ???

Were they democratically elected to take over the land in 1948 pre nakba? P.s. only person who needs gay rights is probably YOU

[@AntonioManuelBuenoaguilar]

Mi único líder es mi conciencia , si es mala tendré un mal líder , si es buena tendré el mayor tesoro que Dios me haya dado ella es mi faro la que me guía por el camino recto si mi luz se apagase sería un zombie más de tantos como hay en este mundo. Lo que guía al mundo es la unión y solidaridad entre conciencias limpias y asamblearias Jesucristo actuaba en asamblea . No un puñado de gente adormecida rezando y cantando como loras y loros lo que dice el sacerdote ( líder ) . Lo común es comunión.

It is the biggest slave plantation in human history. I mean *legally!* Wilson and *both* parties sold the land, goods _and_ the 97 million folk living there, at the time, to a cartel of zio bankers, in 1913! The zios converted the entire package into a _Corporation._ They were not permitted to retain the name, under International Law, so dropped _America_ and went with plain _United States,_ as can be seen on official seals. In other words, there is no such place as America. Those claiming to be US 'politicians' are professional con artists. They are *overseers,* supervising the current 340 million slaves, acting as proxies for the legal owners/masters. This is why the vast wealth that is annually generated by the slaves is funnelled into israHELL, via numerous channels, the defence budget being just one. The kicker? The US pays Corporate taxes... to the English Crown! Things starting to make sense now? Welcome down the rabbit hole!

There is *no* _America!_ It ceased to exist. I mean *legally* ceased to exist! In 1913, Wilson and *both* parties sold the land, goods _and_ the 97 million folk living there, at the time, to a cartel of zio bankers, who converted the entire package into a _Corporation!_ Under International Law no business is permitted to be named after any country, past or present, so the new owners (and masters of millions of slaves!) dropped _America_ from the Corporation's name and went with plain _United States._ Look at the official seals or stationery, you won't find the word _'America'_ included. Those that folk think of as US 'politicians' are nothing more than professional con artists. Politicians conduct business in govts, not in _privately owned businesses!_ They are *overseers,* supervising the slaves, running the day to day business of the Corporation, acting as proxies for the legal owners. Want to know the kicker? The owners pay *full* Corporation taxes, which is hardly surprising, considering who recieves those taxes. Your zio masters pay taxes to the English Crown! Welcome down the rabbit hole.
