Sitting U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has called the situation a genocide.
Finally, some American leaders are speaking the truth. Even one of the most powerful Jewish senators has acknowledged it as such.
The U.S. must act decisively, lest it be seen as condoning an ongoing genocide in Palestine. The world is watching closely.
The United States is quick to condemn unrest or atrocities in countries like Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia, yet the same principles must now apply here. It’s time for consistency in justice and accountability. |
Foreign Affairs › Senator Bernie Sanders Calls War In Gaza A ‘Genocide’ For The First Time by malali(op): 9:15am On Sep 18, 2025 |
“The truth is, whether you call it genocide or ethnic cleansing or mass atrocities or war crimes, the path forward is clear. We, as Americans, must end our complicity in the slaughter of the Palestinian people,” the Vermont Independent wrote.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday said that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute a genocide, the first time the longtime senator and two-time presidential candidate has used the term to describe the conflict.
“I recognize that many people may disagree with this conclusion,” Sanders said in an op-ed posted to his website with the title: “It is Genocide.” “The truth is, whether you call it genocide or ethnic cleansing or mass atrocities or war crimes, the path forward is clear. We, as Americans, must end our complicity in the slaughter of the Palestinian people.”
Sanders’ call to action came shortly after Israeli forces launched a ground offensive in Gaza City, the enclave’s largest city. Just last week, a surprise Israeli strike on Hamas officials in Qatar drew the ire of the White House, with President Donald Trump slamming the unilateral maneuver in a social media post.
Sanders panned the Trump administration for its support of what he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “policy of ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.”
“Having made life unlivable through bombing and starvation, they are pushing for ‘voluntary’ migration of Palestinians to neighboring countries to make way for President Trump’s twisted vision of a ‘Riviera of the Middle East,’” Sanders wrote.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sanders’ criticism.
The Vermont independent, one of ten Jewish senators, has long criticized Israel over its war against Hamas for its decimation on Palestinian civilians, which has claimed the lives of some 64,000 Palestinians.
In March 2024, months after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack in southern Israel that triggered the conflict, Sanders called on then-President Joe Biden to stop doling out unconditional military aid for the Middle Eastern ally, telling CBS that the “United States of America cannot be complicit in this mass slaughter of children.”
“Over the last two years, Israel has not simply defended itself against Hamas,” he wrote Wednesday. “Instead, it has waged an all-out war against the entire Palestinian people.”
Sanders has only escalated his pressure since the beginning of the war. He’s pushed several Senate resolutions to ban arms sales to Israel, culminating in a July vote that saw 26 Democrats support halting weapons transfers.

It’s tragic that negligence continues to put lives and property at risk. Measures must be taken to de-risk other buildings with similar hazards and prevent future incidents.
We have to acknowledge Africa’s heat and the growing reliance on renewable energy, especially lithium-based battery systems. Fires from lithium batteries are notoriously difficult to extinguish, so our firefighters must be trained specifically to handle these types of fires.
Any building with a large inverter room or significant battery storage should have: • Emergency exits positioned away from the batteries, ensuring safe evacuation routes. • Fire-retardant doors for the inverter room, designed to contain fires long enough for people to escape safely.
Proactive planning, proper training, and infrastructure adjustments are essential to minimize risk and protect lives.
Why Fires Happen: • Overloading: Too many devices plugged in, drawing more current than the inverter/batteries can handle. • Poor installation: Cheap cables, poor ventilation, batteries stacked improperly. • Battery failure: Lead-acid batteries can leak or short; lithium-ion can overheat and catch fire. • Dust / heat: Africa’s hot climates + dusty environments make thermal runaway and sparks more likely. • Human error: Charging batteries while unattended, using low-quality inverters, mixing battery types, etc.
Fixes
• Proper ventilation: Heat dissipation is critical. • Battery separation: Avoid stacking batteries too close. • Fire suppression: Some buildings use CO₂ or dry chemical extinguishers. • Regular maintenance: Check battery health, inverter wiring, and chargers. • Quality equipment: Avoid cheap inverters and substandard battery brands. |

TOPMAN4LIFE: Israel owns the land right from the beginning, Romans empire war against Israel made Israelis to leave their land and scattered around the world, Before they regrouped to come back to their land in 1948 because of the Holocaust in Germany where many of them were killed, Palestinians and Muslim fanatics have taken over their land and did want Israel to come near, United Nations divided the land to both of them but Palestinians rejected it and said what they want is that Israel should not come back claiming they own the land. War ensued between them and Israel has been winning them and also collected some land that originally belong to Israel. Since then, Muslim vow Israel must not exist. Israel and Jew doesn't have expansion agenda, it's Muslim /Islam that have been forcing themselves and their religion on people worldwide. The same way Muslims/Islam are doing against Christian dominated areas in plateau, Benue and southern Kaduna whom their land have been taken over after being killed. If those people come back to claim their land, Muslim and Islamic people will drive them back that they own the land. ❌ Claim 1: “Israel owns the land right from the beginning.”Correction: • Ancient Israelites did establish kingdoms in parts of modern Israel/Palestine (Kingdoms of Israel & Judah ~1200–500 BCE). • But over the centuries, the land was ruled by many: Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, various Islamic caliphates, Crusaders, Ottomans, and finally the British. • No single group has owned the land “from the beginning.” It has always been a crossroads with overlapping claims. ❌ Claim 2: “Romans empire war … made Israelis leave their land and scatter around the world.”Correction: • After Jewish revolts (66–73 CE, 132–135 CE), Romans destroyed the Second Temple and dispersed many Jews. • But not all Jews left — there was a continuous Jewish presence in the land for 2,000 years, though often a minority. • The Diaspora grew, but the claim that Jews were entirely expelled is false. ❌ Claim 3: “Israel regrouped and came back in 1948 because of the Holocaust.”Correction: • The modern Zionist movement began in the late 1800s, decades before the Holocaust. Jewish immigration waves (Aliyot) were already underway under Ottoman and then British rule. • The Holocaust accelerated urgency, but the return began well before 1945. ❌ Claim 4: “Palestinians and Muslim fanatics took over their land and didn’t want Israel near.”Correction: • By the late Ottoman era (1800s), the land was already majority Arab Muslim and Christian, with Jews a minority (though growing via immigration). • Palestinians did not “take over”; they were already indigenous inhabitants alongside long-standing Jewish communities. • Opposition to Zionism was not purely “fanaticism” but also a reaction to displacement and land purchases that created real fears of dispossession. ❌ Claim 5: “UN divided the land … Palestinians rejected it and said they want Israel not to come back.”Correction: • The UN Partition Plan of 1947 offered 55% of land to Jews (who were ~33% of the population and owned ~7% of land) and 45% to Arabs. • Jews accepted reluctantly; Arabs rejected, arguing it was unfairly biased after centuries of Arab majority. • Their rejection was not simply “we don’t want Jews back,” but rooted in land inequity, colonial resentment, and demographic imbalance. ❌ Claim 6: “Israel collected some land that originally belonged to Israel.”Correction: • After 1948 and 1967 wars, Israel expanded beyond UN-drawn borders, seizing land (West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights, Sinai). • Whether that was “originally Israel’s” is not historically accurate; these lands had mixed populations and long multi-empire histories. ❌ Claim 7: “Jews don’t have expansion agenda, Muslims do worldwide.”Correction: • Both claims are distorted generalizations. • Zionism did lead to territorial expansion (1967 war results + settlements in occupied territories). While many Israelis oppose expansion, settlement expansion is very real. • Islam historically spread through conquest and trade, but labeling all Muslims as having an “expansion agenda” today is an Islamophobic oversimplification. • Equally, Christianity also spread globally through empire and colonization. ❌ Claim 8: “Muslims are forcing themselves on Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, and taking land.”Correction: • Conflicts in those Nigerian regions are complex, involving farmer-herder disputes, ethnic competition, climate change, and weak governance. • Reducing it to “Muslims vs. Christians, Islam vs. land” ignores underlying socio-economic and political dynamics. • Yes, religion is a factor, but it’s not a one-dimensional Islamic expansion project. |

If they believe so much in negotiations, why didn't they ask for negotiation before attacking Israel on the first place? When last did you mistakenly demanded justice for the victims of boko Haram and senseless banditry and unknown gun men killing innocent Nigerians? LOL....The world knows the truth now.

Konquest: Over 600 Journalists killed so far in Gaza. NOT even during WW2 did mankind experience such massive targeted killings of media people, aid workers, and more.
I was in near-total support of the State of Israel after the October 7 2023 attacks by Hamas because of the horrendous invasion of Southern Israel settlements and the recorded murders of those 2 Tanzanian students by Hamas on Israel soil despite identifying themselves as foreign students, BUT this continued killings of Gazans and Journalists just put paid to that support.
Netanyahu will be forever blamed by Israelis of the surviving Israeli hostages don't make it back alive because Israelis themselves are out in the streets demonstrating against their own Government led by Benyamin "Bibi" Netanyahu. Netenyahu thinks if he kills everybody in Gaza and occupy Palestine, the world will just look away and continue their life like nothing ever happened. The hatred he has generated for Israeli Jews around the world will last over 200 years. |

Fair enough.
We all have opinions. The problem is that opinions won't get this country out of the mess it is in. Only evidence based action will.
Your belief about other candidates remains speculative. It doesn't do much for us now and it will not do much for us if it isn't put to the test - and nobody knows if that'll ever happen.
There were people who believed Buhari would save this country - until he was elected and actually got into office. Those people have now been cured of their delusions.
^^^ As they say...even a broken clock is right twice a day.
^^^ Doesn't quite add up how you can tar these two and then say you are impressed with the man in charge now. But then again, you are entitled to your opinion.
And what's really amusing is that the man in charge now is on record literally saying on the campaign trail: "I want to be president too! Bring this thing!" 
^^^ Surely you are made of sterner stuff than that.
Don't be like the thin skinned, self professed physician on this platform who read a couple of econ books in 2012 and now thinks he's chairman of all the world's central banks.
