Book Trips Cancelled because of Genocidal USA/Israel
Cancelled trips to New York City for Thrillerfest and New Orleans for Bouchercon. It is not just because of Trump - it is because of the Palestinian Holocaust 100% supported by “Genocide” Joe Biden, Harris, and now Donald “How much money you got” Trump and our Congress beholden to a foreign power that is a cancer in the world - Apartheid Israel. When our elected officials are compromised (morally and ethically) by Zionist genociders like AIPAC and Israel itself (with 80 plus % Israelis supporting ethnic cleaning and genocide), our country is fucked.
Some of us will remember the harsh treatment dished out to animal and environmental activists by Democrats and Republicans alike - who can forget the FBI bombing of Earth First members and the murders of other activists on behest of western corporations. Those were the warning shots. Then Black Lives Matter and Antifa erupted… Today we see the playbook of Apartheid Israel in our streets executed as it has been executed in Palestine for many decades. Accordingly, “Hamas” is everywhere (when in fact Israel is the greatest threat to democracies and people everywhere) - tiered citizenship/residences, mass surveillance, travel restrictions, militarized violent law enforcement, state control of media, oppression of freedom of speech, and voting rights and suspension of Constitutional Rights… now, like the genocidal racist state of Israel, the United States of America drives toward a racist ethno-religious state (with many corrupt politicians praying in our public institutions), becoming the United States of Israel - it ain’t the republic no more… but not with my money. I boycott Israeli and American everything to the best of my ability. Like the great comedian Bassem Youssef says: “Fuck Israel.”
It’s human rights for all or not at all. “Never again” for all or not at all.
