Sammy Sage:十月七日对以色列的袭击一周年纪念日,以及犹太新年,令人心碎且情绪化。她对这场冲突的复杂性以及作为犹太人的身份认同感感到压力。她与V Spear公开讨论这些问题,这让她能够处理情绪,并让她感到与他人建立联系。她担心在美国再次发生针对少数群体的迫害,并认为寻找志同道合的人是应对这些可怕事件的最佳方法。现在是改变方向的时候了,避免重蹈祖先的覆辙。 V Spear:FBI和国土安全部发布联合警告,称网络上可能发生暴力事件,并指出伊朗参与其中。伦敦和罗马的亲哈马斯抗议活动令人震惊,这些活动对普通巴勒斯坦人没有帮助。一些抗议活动试图通过干预选举来反对卡玛拉·哈里斯。只有哈里斯政府才能结束那里的战争,她可能在对内塔尼亚胡的策略上采取更强硬的立场。很难区分这场冲突中谁是坏人,谁是被误导的。卡玛拉·哈里斯在《60分钟》节目中关于内塔尼亚胡和以色列的回答很好,她强调了以色列人民和美国人民之间的联盟。三分之一的人从TikTok获取新闻,三分之二的人从评论中获取观点,评论区充斥着机器人观点。社交媒体上针对她的攻击是经过计算的,旨在破坏信任。一场针对美国的混合战争正在进行中,包括针对选举的战争。一场针对美国的混合战争正在进行中,包括针对选举的战争。
