    #Lyrics :

    If Jesus Christ came back today
    Like you threaten he will
    Which poor group of people
    Do you think that he would kill
    Who would Jesus choose to starve
    If you gave him the chance
    And if there was a genocide
    Would he take a neutral stance
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would he say "it's complicated
    There's sinners on all sides"
    Or would he say that some people
    They just deserve to die
    If Christ the Savior rose again
    Then on a sidewalk slept
    Would you extend a hand to him
    Or just watch where you stepped

    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would Jesus hate the Gay folks,
    The Queer folks or the Trans
    Would he suggest they end their lives
    According to God's plans
    Would Jesus tell the homeless man
    To get a f*cking job
    Or turn his back on the poor
    Would Jesus be a snob
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"

    Would Jesus Vote Republican
    Or would it be democrat
    Would he be chanting 4 more years
    Or wear a MAGA hat
    Would Jesus run for president
    Or dictator or worse
    Would Jesus be the pastor
    Of his own mega church
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would Jesus build a border wall
    Would Jesus drive a tank
    Would Jesus own an arsenal
    Would Jesus run a bank
    Would Jesus feel safe in his skin
    If he came to your town
    Would you believe in Jesus still
    If Jesus Christ was brown
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"

    The People Make the Peace

    Forty years after the Vietnam War ended, many in the United States still struggle to come to terms with this tumultuous period of U.S. history. The domestic antiwar movement, with cooperation from their Vietnamese counterparts, played a significant role in ending the War, but few have examined its impact until now. In The People Make the Peace, edited by Karín Aguilar-San Juan and Frank Joyce, nine U.S. activists discuss the parts they played in opposing the War at home and their risky travels to Vietnam in the midst of the conflict to engage in people-to-people diplomacy.

    "The book shatters stereotypes of protesters and shows the activists as thoughtful, courageous and compassionate strategists whose dedication to peaceful diplomacy helped end the war earlier…" - Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK

  15. CW: Dead man on ground - Kent State Massacre

    New York's Columbia University had descended into civil war over issues related to both the Vietnam War and civil rights.

    For eight days, two different protest groups — one rebelling against Columbia's plans for a segregated gym and its encroachment into Harlem, the other against Columbia's recently revealed connections to a Department of Defense-affiliated weapons think tank — battled with both student counter-protestors and the police, who eventually moved in with tear gas to put an end to this round of demonstrations.

    Tragedy struck again at a domestic level in May 1970. Early that month, Kent State University students congregated to protest President Nixon’s recent expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. The protests brought thousands of people to the Ohio university campus, as well as the National Guard.

    After days of demonstrations, dozens of National Guard members would open fire on demonstrators, killing four students and wounding nine.

    In court, guard members said they shot out of fear for their lives. Of the four students killed that day, the closest stood 225 feet away from the guards. Two were walking to class.

    In response to the Kent State shootings, students around the country participated in a nationwide campus protest. According to a National Student Association spokesman, students from more than 300 campuses boycotted classes in early May 1970.

    In California, demonstrations grew so raucous that then-governor Ronald Reagan shut down the entire California university system for a week.

  16. 2024 feels like dejavu to many folks who remember the 60s/70s #AntiWar #protests in USA that was a part of the international citizens' #GlobalResistance movements.

    Opposition to the #VietnamWar was not limited to the United States. Throughout the world, people demonstrated their #resistance to the war, and in some cases offered their #solidarity with the #Vietnamese.

  17. #Republicans Are Already Trying to Grant #Trump Dangerous Powers

    Opinion by #HafizRashid

    "House Republicans are trying to push through a bill that would give President-Elect #DonaldTrump powers as president to designate #nonprofit organizations as '#TerroristSupporting' even after it was seemingly defeated earlier this week.

    "The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act #HR9495 would allow the secretary of the treasury the ability to revoke any nonprofit organization’s tax-exempt status by branding it with a terrorism label. Earlier this week, the bill failed to receive the necessary two-thirds majority in the House to advance to the Senate.

    "But on Monday, the House Rules Committee plans to hold a hearing that could set up a new vote on the bill, which initially had the support of all but one Republican and 52 Democrats. With the GOP only holding a seven seat majority in the chamber, they would need the support of more Democrats to advance the bill, which was introduced to combat #protests against #Israel’s war on #Gaza.

    "Under any circumstances, the bill would threaten #FirstAmendment rights to #FreeSpeech, but after Trump’s election last week, there are now fears that the president-elect could use these new powers to crack down on his enemies with little recourse. Many #universities and #NewsOutlets are nonprofit organizations in addition to #activist groups.

    "After the bill’s initial failure on Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU] celebrated the rejection of 'new broad and easily abused powers.'

    "'The freedom to #dissent without fear of government retribution is a vital part of any well-functioning democracy, and now is not the time to grant the executive branch new powers to investigate and functionally shut down and silence its critics,' said Kia Hamadanchy, senior policy counsel for the ACLU, in a statement.

    "Now, the bill could be given a retooling and sent up for a vote again, giving a president who has already threatened to use the #military against his critics even more sweeping powers. The question is if #Democrats will recognize the bill as granting dangerous powers to the presidency, or see it as a chance to clamp down on protesters they have tried to ignore at their peril for the past year.'"

    House #GOP Moves to Ram Through Bill That Gives #Trump Unilateral Power to Kill #Nonprofits

    Dozens of #Democrats still support the bill — giving the Republican-controlled House plenty of breathing room to pass it next week.

    "A controversial '#nonprofit killer' bill is back on track after it was blocked earlier this week.

    "A majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives rejected the bill on Tuesday out of fear that it could grant President-Elect Donald Trump legal tools with which to target his ideological foes, but Republicans are swiftly pressing ahead.

    "The #StopTerrorFinancing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, which would empower the secretary of the Treasury to designate any #nonprofit as a '#terrorist supporting organization' and revoke its tax-exempt status, is set to go before the Committee on Rules on Monday for a hearing that could tee up the bill for a new floor vote.

    "The hearing was announced Thursday evening, just two days after 144 Democrats and one Republican voted against the bill as part of a fast-track parliamentary procedure that required a two-thirds majority.

    "The bill, also known as #HR9495, has come under withering criticism from a broad coalition of organizations that say its sponsors are pushing it as a means of cracking down on free speech — particularly speech in support of #Palestine. In a joint statement earlier this week, a coalition of #ArabAmerican and #MuslimOrganizations pledged to continue to fight the bill.

    "'This bill was designed to #criminalize organizations and #activists who oppose the U.S.’s unconditional support of #Israel’s #genocide of Palestinians and the slaughter of #Lebanese civilians,' read the statement, which was signed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, American Muslims for Palestine, and others. 'We will continue to stand firm in protecting all organizations’ freedom to speak and operate without fear of political retribution.'

    "Offices for the chair and ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, through which the bill must pass, did not respond to requests for comment.

    "With #ProIsrael groups lobbying for the bill, it gained popularity among House Democrats, in part due to a provision providing tax relief to Americans held hostage abroad.

    "The reelection of Trump, however, galvanized opponents, including Rep. #LloydDoggett, D-Texas, who led the charge to reject the bill on Tuesday. Doggett doubled down on Thursday after learning of the newly scheduled Rules Committee hearing.

    "'In this mislabeled bill, House Republicans are hiding behind hostages,' Doggett said in a statement to The Intercept. 'Their rush to reconsider this bill is solely to offer Trump more and more power, while Trump’s nominees for key #NationalSecurity posts this week indicate how he will be using it.'"

  20. 2024 #NobelPeacePrize goes to Japanese organization #NihonHidankyo for efforts against #NuclearWeapons

    October 11, 2024

    "The Nobel Peace Prize for 2024 was awarded Friday to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, with the Nobel committee lauding the 'grassroots movement of #AtomicBomb survivors from #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki' for its work to 'achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.'

    "Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said the award was made as the 'taboo against the use of nuclear weapon is under pressure.'

    "Both North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russia's Vladimir Putin have repeatedly threatened over the last year to use nuclear weapons if they feel their nations are being threatened.

    "The secretary general of Nihon Hidankyo, which is also known as #Hibakusha, is 92-year-old Nagasaki bombing survivor #TanakaTerumi, who was 13 when the American bomb hit his city.

    "The 2024 Peace Prize was awarded against a backdrop of devastating conflicts raging in the world, notably in the #MiddleEast, #Ukraine and #Sudan."

  21. The Berliner Sparkasse bank froze the account of the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for a Just Peace & asked it to submit a list of members with full names & addresses.

    It's a question that might be asked by an intelligence service or police, the group said.

    The Jewish Voice's previous account with Bank for Social Economy was closed in 2019 because of its support for the #BDS Movement.

    The group is taking legal action.

  22. #RussianPoet receives 7-year prison sentence for reciting verses against war in #Ukraine

    by AP, December 29, 2023

    "A Russian poet was given a 7-year prison sentence Thursday for reciting verses against #Russia’s war in Ukraine, a tough punishment that comes during a relentless Kremlin crackdown on #dissent.

    "#Moscow’s Tverskoi District Court convicted #ArtyomKamardin on charges of making calls undermining national security and inciting hatred, which related to him reading his #AntiWar poems during a street performance in downtown Moscow in September 2022.

    "#YegorShtovba, who participated in the event and recited Kamardin’s verses, was sentenced to 5 1/2 years on the same charges."
