Israel Zionist Government Genocide Funded By Billions Of Dollars Of U.S. Military Aid Is Called Sanctioned Mass Murder

All who voted to approve billions of dollars of U.S. military aid to the Israel Zionist government are complicit to commit mass murder and should be known as cold blooded murderers without a soul, especially those that stand by and do nothing to stop it.

By H. Nelson Goodson

U.S.A./Israel – In the U.S., if you knowingly provide any kind of payment or monetary aid including military weapons to anyone that results in a murder or mass murder, the heinous act is prosecuted as aiding and conspiracy to commit murder.

Then why aren’t the majority of Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Congress including U.S. President Biden (D) who continue to provide billions of dollars of U.S. military aid to the Israel Zionist government charged with the genocide of thousands of Palestinians and children?

These are known cold blooded murderers and they are all complicit to mass murder/genocide today!

No one and government should be ever sanctioned to commit mass murder of unarmed civilians including children, it’s an inhumane heinous act by those without a soul, especially those that stand by and do nothing to stop it nor condemn the murderous act. Eventually, judgement day will prevail one day against all those evil cold blooded mass murderers without a soul or conscious.

Why are they engaged in mass murder of unarmed Palestinian civilians and children in the GAZA?

The GAZA coast line has a rich gas reserve totalling billions of dollars, which Israel and the U.S. have vested interest not to share the natural gas energy resources with the Palestinians in the GAZA.

There are huge fields of oil and gas under the sea 22 miles off the coast of Gaza. It is worth an estimated $524 billion and belongs to Gaza and the Palestinians. (Quora dot com)

Hundreds Of Thousands Of Antifa Protesters To Converge In Milwaukee To Protest The Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention Anti-immigrant And Hate Rhetoric Propaganda Agenda Targeted At People Of Color

Milwaukee local protest organizers and activist groups are reaching out nationally and inviting hundreds of thousands of Antifa protesters to Milwaukee in mid-July in order to stage peaceful protests during the 3-day Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – On Tuesday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned that local groups and activist organizations are preparing and reaching out nationally to invite hundreds of thousands of Antifa (Anti-facist) protesters to Milwaukee in an effort to protest the Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention anti-immigrant and hate rhetoric propaganda agenda targeted at people of color.

H. Nelson Goodson, a Civil Rights and Immigrant Rights Advocate, and a Southside Milwaukee resident says, “that any national political party is welcome in the City of Milwaukee, including Wisconsin when it has the best interests of the nation, but when a national political party engages in anti-immigrant prosecution, lies/spreads mistruths about people of color and especially promotes hate rhetoric propaganda to advance their own agenda by creating fear mongering and division in our diverse communities like what former U.S. President Donald J. Trump and his MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) cult and insurrectionist patriots (supremacists) are best known to do, they are definitely “Not Welcome” in Milwaukee.”

The 3-day Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention is scheduled for July 15-18, 2024 at the Fiserv Forum (Baird Center) in Milwaukee.

Editor’s note:

Intel from the Latino community at large indicates that many Milwaukee Latino activists and organizers are contemplating wearing Chihuahua masks as a unprecedented form to protest the anti-immigrant and hate rhetoric propaganda targeted at people of color by Trump and his MAGA cult.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Last Tuesday, April 16, Marco A. López, 41, a Milwaukee Police Officer under full suspension has reached a plea agreement resolution with the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office (MCDAO), according to Milwaukee County court records. A plea/sentencing hearing for López was scheduled for May 10th.

López is charged with one felony count for misconduct/office-fraud/record/statement (making false record entries) in connection with the in-custody death of Keishon D. Thomas, 20, at Milwaukee Police Department District Station 5 in 2022.

Police Officer López, if convicted is facing up to 3 years, 6 months in prison and could be fined up to $10,000, or both. Officer López has over 12 years of service with the department.

According to the criminal complaint, Officer López was to check Keishon and other individuals (inmates) in custody at the District Station 5 every 15 minutes during his shift. Video surveillance footage from inside the station showed that López did not check on the inmates including Keishon at least 10 times who were in custody.

Officer López was found to have falsely logged 10 times in the cell block booking sheet that he in fact checked on the inmates that were locked up, when in fact video surveillance footage inside the police station showed he did not.

Another Milwaukee Police Officer Donald W. Krueger, 50, pleaded no contest in March 2024 and was convicted for one felony count of misconduct in office and fraud in connection with the February 2022 death of Thomas while in custody. Former Milwaukee Police Officer Krueger retired before the felony conviction.

Krueger’s sentencing under a plea agreement with the MCDAO, he was fined $5,000 and will serve no prison time, according to court records.

According to the criminal complaint, Krueger neglected Keishon, who was confined at the Milwaukee Police District 5 Station. He neglected Keishon by failing to garner him medical attention, despite seeing Keishon dry heave multiple times, being informed Keishon had recently ingested multiple controlled substances, noting Keishon’s profuse sweating, and stating he was going to call an ambulance, which Krueger never did. Keishon ultimately died in custody at the district station.
