Brother Shaun, I thought you were 100% correct in what you said. It wasn’t radical at all, it was a humane, ethical, and normal reaction to an ongoing Genocide that should have NEVER happened to begin with and should have NOT gotten to this point. You expressed exactly how I feel and many others I know feel the same way. Thank you so much for always having the courage to stand up and speak out against this horrible injustice. May Allah always bless you and your family.

I'm with you 100% Shaun. I don't know about being "normal" as I have no interest in what this culture calls normal. In October 2024, after being in touch with several people in Gaza for months (on social media) I decided to begin fundraising within my sphere, five months after the Rafah crossing was closed and Israel's "starvation project" began in earnest. So far, I have sent over $20K (75% raised from caring community) to several families. I had to do something, as the rage & grief were making me ill. It's better to act!

Way to preach brotha🙏🏾♥️ those who turn away don’t want to believe what’s happening-YALL are sick in the head to think killing/eliminating/genocide on people is ok-it’s not, it’s evil what’s happening to the Palestinians & to other communities around the world

No, I am not radical either for wanting to stop this genocide, for wanting to stop the extermination and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian men, women and children …

Wanting to stop these crimes against humanity is not radical, it is the normal response of human beings to unspeakable cruelty, barefaced greed and blood-lust …

I don't even think that many of the American people realize that the US is always supporting The international rules and laws of the Geneva Convention and now because of Trump and the Christian Nationalists say nothing and no longer support these laws. I guess they think God approves their horrific actions. Let it be known that all Americans who believe in God and are not speaking out against our support of Israel will have to Answer to their God for all the deaths of innocent children; all the people who die.

I am not radical either. I just thought that so many people sitting out the election last year and thus enabling this mess to escalate, using Gaza as a scapegoat to make themselves feel more self-righteous, was just foolish, deluded, idiotic, arrogant and short-sighted, especially with the danger of Project 2025, a far right supreme court, all the voter supression tactics, the war in Ukraine, and Sudan and Yemin. Now, those same idiots who voted repug, voted third party or sat out last year are all silent regarding the damage that they caused or contributed to because they refused to understand nuance, the reality that elections are mostly damage mitigation, and when the world is at stake like this, purity high horse be damned!!!

You do understand that about 85% of the deaths happened under Biden and Harris, right? Including some of my closest friends. And that Harris said "I would not change any Biden policies." Please understand that it's not as cut and dry as you want it to be.

That reality is unmooring but it is the reality. Sickening.
