Thank you again Karen... so many layers of pain and trauma in so many lives...so many spoiled Americans are so clueless and soft they think suffering is when Starbucks doesn't have their favorite creamer....check out Amir Tsarfarti with Behold Israel a born again Jew...he says "No Jews no news. I thank God for saving me and I also am thankful for my 2 deployments overseas including Mombasa Kenya when I came home I kissed the ground of this glorious America nothing comes close to this country....maranatha!!
You must have some stories to tell. Thank God for Amir Tsarfarti. I have listened to his podcasts and want to read his book The Last Hour, thanks for reminding me of that goal!
Amen and THE best place to get the real news from a man that's plugged in because he is a Jew and lives there and also knows the Word better than most....grace and peace my sister!
"I am at a loss to know why people are so obsessed with Palestinians and not the Kurds or the Yazidis. I have never heard of a protest at Stanford or Columbia universities in favor of a Kurdish state. Yet, the Kurds are one of the world’s largest peoples without a state, making up sizable minorities in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Their century-old fight for rights, autonomy, and a homeland has been marked by marginalization and persecution."
I was going to restack this quote, Karen but I will be more discreet by adding another faction. And it's not anything superfluous. But I believe that it's because of the selective media perspective: The narrative, isn't consistent with the agenda. 🤷♀️
My Yazidi friends told me their stories. I watched the PTSD episodes and wept with them. I will never forget and never forgive the hypocrisy of my former friends (& family members). Made me sick.
We’re living in a time of moral inversion. Quite remarkable how decadent and numb we have become to real suffering. Some of us render judgment against our neighbors for voting for the “wrong” politician, but are simultaneously unable to parse and condemn the most egregiously cruel and immoral behavior lest it cost us social points with the in crowd. Pathetic situation and one which we have arrived at through deliberate action of the Left over decades.
Thank you for this post. I have long thought the Kurds deserving of their own homeland and nation. It is tragic that the U.S. didn’t step-up after the help it received from the Iraqi Kurds to put Turkey on notice that it would be supporting Kurdish independence.
I'm not sure what you mean by the Karen people, but yes, as I say in what I wrote, there is so much suffering in the world. And sadly it isn't getting any better.
Around 400,000 Karen people are without housing, and 128,000 are living in camps on the Thailand-Burma border. According to BMC, "79% of refugees living in these camps are Karen ethnicity."[38] Their lives are restricted in the camps because they usually cannot go out, and the Thai police might arrest them if they do.[
So much suffering and horror in the world. So much evil. Jesus said, “If you remain in me and my word remains in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you. This is to my glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” John 15. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the only way we can escape our deserved punishment and find eternal life and healing.
The answer, sadly, is simple Karen. Because neither one or the other serves as vessel to achieve the strategic goals of the CCP. They anti-Western world knew for decades that the so-called Palestinian cause could be used as a tool to hit the West hard with it. That is not the case with the Kurds nor the Yazidis. This is not about principles, human rights, fairness or humanity. It's about the Left using any tool to attack the West, Israel, the US, Europe and the Capitalist world. That is all.
I’m grateful for those good folks who haven’t yet “been there” (traumatized by it) and still have their empathetic faculties unseared and unscarred. It’s difficult for them to grasp the evil and suffering that is almost constant in much of the world. They don’t realize they are being used.
For the rest of the protesters — it is an excercise in trendy virtue signaling; Self righteous hypocrisy; revolutionary fantasy. It gives them a little status in their delusional circles.
Much like those still chanting “safe and effective.
When they get their way and things start to unravel …..
These college kids cannot even tell you which River and which Sea, nor the meaning of the phrase. I certainly wouldn’t expect them to have any understanding about ANYTHING outside of their little bubble!
Bush and Blair invaded Iraq on false pretenses. Obama came in and enabled ISIS by leaving behind all the modern military gear. ISIS went on to murder Yazidis, Christians, and Kurds. The world just watched. I tried to speak up and what I got back in return was "these people have been doing this to each other for centuries." I lost friends over this by speaking out against the evils of the radical Islamists.
They are obsessed with the Palestinians because they are supported by the Communist International and the Islamic Ummah, both of which can generate public relations campaigns at the drop of a hat. In addition, the Palestinians are now supported by the Biden Administration, which also has tremendous pr resources. It's just a matter of following the Party Line for most people--if it changes, so will they. Most people don't form their own opinions, they take what they are given by institutions.
When the Ottoman Empire was disintegrating, that triggered many peoples who lived there to form states as a path to self- determination. Around the world peoples were rising and organizing to govern themselves in the lands of declining empires, including Slovaks, Armenians, Ukrainians, Poles, Kurds, Jews, Arabs.
This was acknowledged by the League of Nations, which oversaw the process of replacing the Ottoman imperial lands with new states for all the people who lived there.
Worth noting that the Turks violently ignored the principle of self-determination in their immediate vicinity, preventing the emergence of Armenia and Kurdistan, enlarging Turkey to twice the size allocated to it by the League of Nations.
Muslims and the CCP get to murder with impunity. Noe of the social justice a- holes ever notice when they genocide people!!!

And to you.
Amen

Absolutely.

Horrible. Thank you.

Up is down

Why does no one stand up for the Karen people forever non citizens on the border of Myanmar. There is enough suffering and compassion to go around.

Oh sorry! I don't know why I didn't get that. Because my name is Karen, all I could.of is, what's she talking about 😆
There are some wonderful stories about these people in the book Eternity in Their Hearts.
So much suffering and horror in the world. So much evil. Jesus said, “If you remain in me and my word remains in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you.

Amen.
Thank you, Karen. A voice of reason!
You're welcome.
I do
Thank you.
You're welcome always God bless you and your family forever

My dad, Dave Hunt, had some things to say about Albert Pike in a talk titled “The Occult Influence in Freemasonry” that you might find interesting. https://jashow.org/articles/the-occult-influence-in-freemasonry/
Love your post.

Good for you. Keep speaking out. It's only going to get worse unfortunately.

The historic precedent is also telling:
When the Ottoman Empire was disintegrating, that triggered many peoples who lived there to form states as a path to self- determination. Around the world peoples were rising and organizing to govern themselves in the lands of declining empires, including Slovaks, Armenians, Ukrainians, Poles, Kurds, Jews, Arabs.

Kurds do not have a state to this day…
