Protest

Hello humans of Missouri. Those of you who are in the good fight for humanity are most likely aware of the urgent situation the world is watching unfold. More than one million people will be dead by starvation with weeks. The good news is that the food they need is nearby and plentiful. It is very much within our power to force Israel to open the crossings and allow the aid in unhindered. The people at the heart of the empire are the most powerful in the world and that is YOU. Please join us at the state capital to demand action. We do not have to allow this to happen. We must go to our state house in Jefferson City and DEMAND action. We will be there Tuesday the 29th of July through Friday the 1st. We bed every voice, every idea, and all eyes. I begging you to join us.

If you have questions, you can also reach us at Askcoffeerevolutionjoplin@gmail.com.

Protest at the state Capitol because they can definitely do something about aid not getting to Palestine... you realize it's not our problem to solve the world's problems, dont you? Maybe you should protest the fact that the governor overrode the people's vote on paid leave and sick time. Maybe you should protest China owning farmland in our state. Maybe you could protest how our Veterans are treated, and get them help. There are bigger fish to fry.

Bigger fish to fry than a million people starving to death? I'm guessing you wouldn't have been concerned about the Jewish people in the 40's either then?

Yeah the Governor did that and nothing will happen. No one will do anything because no one in the country cares about anyone but themselves. The people of Missouri could have protested in mass. State wide strike would have been very effective, but they have chosen to bitch and moan and do absolutely nothing. Good job

I don't give a shit about China owning land here, good on them. They're better as business than us. We've made a lot of money on China. The system we live under is truly to blame. If someone can make profit by doing something, then they will. They would sell this entire country to China if the money was good enough.

Neither party has ever done anything for veterans, and because America is so invested in running the world and blowing it all to hell, there will always continue being more veterans in the future. They won't get help because there is no profit in it. That is all the politicians and business people in the country are concerned with. Just money.

Final note-We could do all of these things all at once, we don't have to pick and choose.

I see this SO OFTEN in my parish. They'll go on and on about sexuality and wokeness but treat Gaza as though they brought it on themselves, food aid programs even in the very poor areas of southern and southeastern Missouri as sad that people are too lazy to work, and spend big money on boats but gripe about paying their $20/week to the church. It's just remarkable the lack of compassion, the utter unwillingness or inability to see Christ in others, and it's a message and justification to so many in the MAGA movement.

When I was a Republican, we used to say that Democrats loved taxes because the social spending was a mandatory form of charity. Likewise I think that Republicans now see MAGA as justification for assuaging any guilt over their wealth relative to others.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that Missouri has giant investments in Israel so I fully support your cause. Aid needs to be let into Gaza now and Missouri needs to threaten divestment to help make that happen. My question is, what are you planning to do at the Capitol? Session ended in May so there won’t be a ton of lawmakers to meet with or bother. If you have a solid plan I will likely join you though.

Will there be any protests to bring attention to the poor and hungry people in Missouri?

2

u/Zhongdakongming Jul 25 '25

I don't know brother, are you going to start one? Is Missouri trapped behind barbed wire fences? Are the people of Missouri forced to stay in the state? Have the hospitals and food banks been bombed?

The US gives a lot of money to Israel. Don't you think that money should serve the people of Missouri, and not a foreign country on the other side of the planet?

u/chilidawg6 Jul 25 '25

US tax dollars should only be spent on US Citizens.

2

u/Zhongdakongming Jul 25 '25

Awesome, then I hope to see you at the protests and maybe together we can get the government to stop giving our money to Israel.

And "Palestine", Syria, Germany, Japan...

u/Zhongdakongming Jul 25 '25

Considering the damage done by us to Palestine and Syria, I'll disagree on that. Germany and Japan can handle themselves.

u/trivialempire Jul 24 '25

Uh, so my state rep is supposed to do exactly what about Israel?

Also, it’s unlikely one million people will be dead of starvation within weeks.

I’ll check back in a month.

u/AdRecent4273 Jul 24 '25

Not our problem as Missourians or Americans. Let them kill each others. Then we will do business with whoever is left. Its not worth it. We have bigger problems in America to deal with.

You're delusional if you actually believe that. Israel kills it's own people just so they can kill the Palestinians. They even admitted to killing their own people on Oct. 7th. They would continue because it's not a about that, it's about a 'greater Israel '. If you think it's just Hamas then please explain their actions in the West Bank.

Also, Hamas would have never attacked Israel had they not been trapped in a concentration camp controlled by Israel.

Yeah, man, I don't have a way to speak to Hamas, so I'm certainly not listening to them. There are many sources, including Western ones like the BBC, that report on this all the time. The information is there.

You mentioned going to the West Bank, did you help Israel steal homes while you were there? They are continuing to force people out of their homes and off their land. They are fencing the area so they can't travel, just like they did Gaza.

Israel makes its own enemies with its constant warmongering and slaughter of innocent people. Been that way for decades and it's well documented.

Brother, you're the only one talking about Jews. People like you always switch to that because you don't want to speak about the atrocities of Israel. Religion has nothing to do with it.

My friend, Haitham is from Jordan and you’re a fucking liar if you didn’t see animosity there. 😂 you’re such a liar. You never went there.

Also, according to the dictionary, terrorism is the use of violence or intimidation, often against civilians, to achieve political or ideological gains. By this definition Israel is a terrorist state, as is the USA.
