Pelosi missed it because she was in SF to participate in the Swords to Plowshares 30th Annual Veterans Day Celebration, where she was honored with a Lifetime Advocate for Veterans Award. I wonder if she missed the irony.

Strike, 1925, by Sergei Eisenstein Its rhythmic editing has been likened to T. S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land, as it "it operates through…scattered images, each of them precisely concrete yet also symbolic, the juxtaposition of which startles and surprises." ― David Sylvester

Now imagine being Palestinian, living under the boot of a state that proudly calls itself the only Jewish state in the world

You guys have no clue how hard it is to be Jewish in America. Antisemitism is a cancer on our country—antisemites scream “Zionist” as a slur while hate crimes against us keep skyrocketing. We have been constantly blamed for every thing ever since the Black Plague ➡️WW2 and on!
