1993 WTC BOMBING AND US ISREALI SUPPORT The post below provides a much needed reminder of the significance of today. I was a 19 y/o paramedic student at Beekman Downtown Hospital, just blocks from the towers on that fateful day. We had no idea what terrorism was, or that this was such an act. It's our forgetfulness and desire to move on with life and achieve normalcy after such high impact incidents (we like to call it resilience), that brought us 9/11. The groups involved in both attacks, claimed that they wanted to punish the US for it's aid and support of the state of Israel. And now we have Hamas, Daesh, a slew of other non-state actors, and domestic actors threatening the US with violence for our continued backing of Israel in the wake of the October 7th terror attacks. The bad actors are still out there my friends. They are more plentiful, they have even greater apocalyptic aspirations, and some of them are our own countrymen. Our support for Isreal is a testimony to our long-term, strategic goal of countering extremism, terrorism and rougue states. While Israel has not always been the best partner in this enterprise, they are our friends nonetheless. Friends argue, they disagree, and they often don't see eye-to-eye. I have on numerous occasions publicly questioned their CT tactics and human rights approach. That said, be clear; the only country in that region that had our back on that grim day in 1993 was Israel. And while others in the region were dancing, laughing and parading in the streets on 9/11, Isrealis cried, prayed for us and their children sent letters to our children. Because that's what friends do. So from a purely counterterrorism standpoint, I am biased in my support for Isreal. Why? We should never cowtow to terrorists' demands to abandon our allies. To what end? They will simply find new demands to issue that are even more unrealistic. They don't want peace, they want death. To reward terrorism and give in to their desires is to make it clear that terrorism is a profitable and acceptable means to an end. Let us never forget the lessons that 1993 and 9/11 taught us. For if we do, we condemn our children to suffering the same fate as we did, or perhaps something far worse.. #neverforget #thewestisnext #Israel #supportisrael #freepalestinefromhamas #hamas

Today marks 31 years since the February 26, 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center. That day, six innocent people lost their lives, over 1,000 were injured, and more than 700 police, fire, and rescue personnel responded to the emergency. As we honor the memory of John DiGiovanni, Robert Kirkpatrick, Stephen A. Knapp, William Macko, Wilfredo Mercado, and Monica Rodriguez Smith, who was pregnant when she was killed, we must also consider the question - have we made progress in enhancing our security measures or have we forgotten the lessons of that day? The threat of terrorism remains a complex and ongoing issue that requires constant attention and collaboration. Let us continue to work together to ensure the safety of our communities and never forget the lives lost on that tragic day. #NeverForget #WorldTradeCenterBombing #TerrorismAwareness

Elderly men kneeling before the president? Most are in pain!! Struggling to get on both knees! Even if I don't know what is happening here. It doesn't look good. It is beyond humiliating. Beyond embarrassing. Sickening! 🤢 Even in war kneeling is not an acceptable way of surrendering. There is a better way below. Surrender in combat involves three key stages: 1. Attempted Surrender: The surrendering party must clearly show their intent by laying down arms and raising hands. 2. Processing Surrender: Combatants safely surrender by disarming and submitting to restraints while maintaining their dignity. 3. Completed Surrender: Once verified, surrendering combatants are no longer a threat and must not be attacked. In all stages human dignity must be observed. #kuriaandcompanyadvocates #conflictresolution

Soldiers must exercise utmost care not to harm, kill or destroy those they seek to protect or save. They must ensure that people, their properties, their way of life and their livelihood are safe. As the citizens' defenders, they must discriminate between the enemy combatants and the innocents who must be spared from violent action. They should take appropriate precautions so that any undertaking only targets the enemy and do not cause collateral damage. During actual operations, they must see to it that the steps taken do not exceed that which is necessary to get the desired results. Soldiers must not inflict injury or sacrifice the lives of those they intend to safeguard. They should not become like the vicious enemy they are fighting against and protect the people from. They must not turn into monsters themselves. Without a measured well-considered response, their solutions may turn out to be worse than the problems at hand. Giving the highest concern for the well-being of innocents is supremely important. This wins hearts and minds.

Gosh UNRWA, why haven't you asked Egypt to allow innocent Gazan civilians to temporarily cross the Egyptian border? If there were no innocent Gazan civilians in Rafah, there could be no innocent Gazan civilian casualties. International Humanitarian Law requires countries to allow innocent civilians to flee a combat area across the nearest non-combatant border. So why haven't you asked Egypt to allow innocent Gazan civilians to temporarily cross the Egyptian border? We know that the terrorists and oligarchs are allowed to cross the Egyptian border whenever they want, either through the tunnels, or with bribes. Why are the vulnerable required to stay in Gaza?
"When you attack a camp such as this, we've said all along there would be inevitable civilian casualties. It does leave us numb and personally makes me sick to the stomach." UNRWA Sam Rose to NPR on the recent attacks in #Rafah, southern #Gaza https://lnkd.in/gxaVTdC9

The Port Chicago disaster was a deadly munitions explosion that occurred on July 17, 1944, at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Port Chicago, California. Munitions detonated while being loaded onto a cargo vessel bound for the Pacific Theater of Operations, killing 320 sailors and civilians and injuring 390 others. Most of the dead and injured were enlisted African American sailors. Unsafe conditions inspired hundreds of servicemen to refuse to load munitions, an act known as the Port Chicago Mutiny. Fifty men, called the “Port Chicago 50”, were convicted of mutiny and sentenced to 15 years of prison and hard labor, as well as a dishonorable discharge. Forty-seven of the 50 were released in January 1946; the remaining three served additional months in prison. During and after the trial, questions were raised about the fairness and legality of the court-martial proceedings. Owing to public pressure, the Navy reconvened the courts-martial board in 1945; the court affirmed the guilt of the convicted men. Widespread publicity surrounding the case turned it into a cause célèbre among certain Americans; it and other race-related Navy protests of 1944–45 led the Navy to change its practices and initiate the desegregation of its forces beginning in February 1946. In 1994, the Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial was dedicated to the lives lost in the disaster. On June 11, 2019, a concurrent resolution was agreed upon by the 116th Congress. The resolution recognized the victims of the explosion and officially exonerated the 50 men court-martialed by the Navy. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
