Just as negotiations broke down Friday and the second ceasefire allegedly ended because Hamas fired rockets into Israel, 18 year old Michael Brown was gunned down by Ferguson Missouri police while visiting his grandmother.

Residents in the apartment complex where Brown's grandmother resides began to protest. Police responded by tear gassing the crowd and spraying them with rubber bullets. The Ferguson residents responded by “rioting and looting.” I stand in solidarity with those struggling in both Palestine and Ferguson and applaud their efforts.

If there is any request I could make to those in the struggle in Ferguson, it is to please show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine, and to raid and loot with purpose. Loot and/or destroy the products made by corporations that aid Israel in its genocide against our brothers and sisters in Palestine. And if not, at least continue to boycott the following products/ corporations: Coca-cola, Nissan, Dannon, Nestle, HP, Estee-Lauder and now it would appear Sony has been supplying guidance systems to Israel's rockets. Looted Sony camera’s would be the perfect device to take pictures of cops and post on social networks!

The death toll in Gaza increases as the protests in Ferguson and elsewhere continue. We must make clear it's not “them in Gaza and us here.” Neither is it us in San Francisco fighting eviction and those in Ferguson. We must maintain our support and solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the struggle all over the world, including in Iraq.

Shortly after US troops left Iraq, allegedly for the last time, Isis attacked the puppet government set up by the US. Isis made off with billions of dollars in military equipment bestowed upon Iraq by the US. Genocide of Kurds by Saddam's government was one of the excuses the US used to attack Iraq, but they were supplied with very little assistance when the actual war began. Once again Kurds are pawns in the American Fourth Reich’s game/ attempt at completely colonizing the alleged “Middle East” which is in fact North Africa!

Now, in order to draw attention away from our involvement in the genocide of Palestinians, America is faking compassion for the Kurds, when after all America helped put Saddam in power and ignored their cries for help over the last decades. This is all supposedly to protect Christians. Meanwhile, US Media is conveniently ignoring the fact that 40% of Palestinians are Christian.

Rise up against the oppressors. Support the revolution worldwide. Boycott and loot, but most of all take the cop's pics and post them on social media sites!
