Not a new video, but not an especially old one either. The former President calling out Israel and AIPAC, Jimmy definitely DGAF.

Rabbi David Mivasair has a GoFundMe to help provide basis necessities for the Palestinians of Gaza. If it is within your means, this is the link:

Rabbi Mivasair writes:

I want to add that the need is not only for money. There is a huge need for people there to simply have someone NOT there who expresses care toward them, who listens to them, who witnesses with compassion and empathy. I think of the people who scrawled on the walls of barracks in Nazi concentration camps "if only someone on the outside knew what they are doing to us here". I want to be the people who let them know that we do care, we are listening, we are trying to help, and they can tell us what is going on in their lives.

Please consider signing this petition which calls for a ceasefire and arms embargo, started by Rabbi Brant Rosen of Tzedek Chicago.

Excerpt:

We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in calling on presidential candidate Kamala Harris to distance herself from Biden’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.

Not another bomb!

ah... don't read about East Timor and the Indonesian fascist government if you don't want your positive opinion about him ruined.

While Carter certainly bears some responsibility for the genocide that happened in East Timor, the primary culprits are Nixon and Ford. Bush (father) and Clinton as well.

Let's not forget that the US is the main purchaser of Indonesian rubber (accounts for roughly 60% of all rubber imports into the states), among many other raw materials.

It is not possible to be a good or decent president
