Since 1948 when the Apartheid state of Israel emerged—which had been opposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and General George Marshall—it is estimated that 134,000 Palestinians and Arabs had been killed both inside and outside of Palestine by Jewish butchers.[2]

Since October 7, 2023, it is estimated that at least 35,034 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza alone, with 14,944 being children and 9,849 being women.  Approximately 1 million have been detained since 1967[3]; and these horrific numbers do not touch on how many non-Jews' lives have been effectively destroyed since 1948 when the crimes against humanity began.

Yet, Donald Trump has sided with the butcher Benjamin Netanyahu, and is trying to cut off free speech—of Jews and non-Jews alike[4]—which mirrors the life of Netanyahu who should be arrested now and tried by the International Criminal Court for his many crimes.  Adolf Eichmann and other Nazis did less, yet they paid with their lives.

Freedom of speech is sacred.  Donald Trump should know that better than anyone.  He is alive today, and our President, after attempts were made to silence him, with an assassin's bullet grazing his ear.  Is he a hypocrite by attempting to silence others who speak out against the Apartheid state's atrocities?[5]
