If you are as appalled by the continued ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the Israeli government, please sign and share with your coworkers. We need a brave Teamster local to take up the call and officially sign on; we are now in the minority of unions staying silent.

You could have just ignored this post, just like you ignore the genocide in Palestine...

Pathetic comment.

Lots of brothers and sisters in labor care as we can see by the list of unions for a ceasefire. I care. I know Brother Cochran has called for a ceasefire and even an ILO support of the South Africa case at the international court. I don’t pretend to know all the details but I will say that turning off water to 2.5 million people is shows willingness 2 genocidal

What I find so troubling about the younger generations being so quick to be pro Palestine is that they are supporting a place where they persecute L. G. B. T. Q. People and they don’t take this into account. Look at their record. https://www.equaldex.com/region/palestine

That has nothing to do with the genocide going on right now.

Sorry but I will support Israel no matter what

That’s about the strangest thing I have ever heard . Support no matter what ? No matter what ? You can’t think of any reason to rethink that ? I think many evil people in history had supporters who said the same thing . There are many reasons to stop supporting someone when they are wrong .

[Thisischange?]

It's called humanity. It was wrong when it happened to the Jewish people and it's wrong now that it's happening to the Palestinians.

[teamsterdriver25]

I'm not re thinking anything. I will support Israel no matter what.

[Watcher745]

Well I certainly hope that Israel dosent decide to build a new settlement in your backyard .

It confounds me every time I see someone unequivocally support an entity (government) who has the worst history for genocide. These Palestinians have no ties to Hamas. It has been proven that Hamas was a creation of the Israel government and the CIA. not a "Conspiracy Theory". The only people who need punished in this conflict is the very people who push this narrative that Palestinians are the problem. For anyone saying they support Israel, go look at all the images and video of Northern Gaza and tell me again how you support war criminals.

[teamsterdriver25]

That's your opinion Dana Costello....

[DanaCos]

Yes, indeed it is.

How I feel is an opinion, but everything I said about the "conflict" is fact. I don't hate anyone for supporting who or what they do, but will always give my take.

You realize like 50% of Gaza is under 20 and didn't even vote for Hamas? many are children. Also this is genocide. They shut off the water. Come on. That's terrible. You don't shut off water to civilians.

[Sorter2000]

Facts: "After October 7, the Israeli government shut off the pipes that supply Gaza with water."

Netanyahu wanted to destroy the PLO so he turned to Hamas. I thought the slogan "from the river to the sea" was anti-semantic but is ok when Netanyahu says.
