VA Amnesia And How To Remedy It? - PopularResistance.Org
The other day, I did a presentation with Oscar Arbulu, a Marine veteran and executive director of the organization I co-founded, the Veterans Healthcare Policy Institute (VHPI). We spoke about the threats to the VA at a Bay Area Rotary Club and then later at night, we addressed the same topic at the Evergreen Cafe in Berkeley. The Rotary Club members we addressed have a long history of helping veterans. A few veterans were members of the club and some of them used the VA for their healthcare. Other members in the audience included the children of veterans.

Netanyahu and Israel got away with genocide in Gaza so now they’re doing it again in Lebanon. They’ve demolished entire villages, displaced 1 million people, and plan to build “settlements” on the land they stole. The peace talks today feel meaningless unless Israel is stopped.
