Israel has a right to defend itself--the real meaning

 

Israel has a right to defend itself= Israel has a right to indiscriminately kill the Palestinians

 

How can a criticism of Israel be called "antisemitism" when in the current conflict both warring parties are Semitic?

Gaza November 2023: Gaza Holocaust

 

Killing innocent civilians of Gaza and making life hard for everyone living there appears to be a deliberate Israeli decision to force the Palestinians out of Gaza.  It is no longer a massacre; it is a holocaust.  And all this is being done with the US's complicity.

October 7

October 7 was a terrible day. A large group of armed men suddenly appeared from nowhere and started killing people. By the time the carnage was over, scores of people including women and little children lay dead. These innocent people did not even get a chance to ask why they were being beaten up and killed.
I told you the date but forgot to mention the year.  The year was 1849. The site of the massacre was New Mexico, USA.
But those were different times. Colonizers had a free hand to push politically unorganized, technologically backward indigenous people to a side and call them savages.  Any act of resistance from the lesser human beings was an act of terrorism and was met with full force.

October 7, 2023 was an equally grisly day.  Media reports suggest around fourteen hundred people were killed in a few hours; around two hundred were taken hostage. No civilized person can condone such acts of savagery. But people are not stopping at the condemnation of the October 7 attacks.  They are questioning the morality of pushing millions of indigenous people to Bantustans.  They are questioning the rectitude of demographic engineering of a land.  And they are questioning the legitimacy of controlling a large group of people without giving them any representation in the affairs of the government trying to control them.

How to avoid getting the IRS error code 3000 when filing a Form 990-N for your non-profit organization

 

Is the IRS error code 3000 bothering you? 

 

After talking to the IRS on the phone I have figured out how to avoid the IRS error code 3000 when filing a Form 990-N  for our non-profit organization.

To file a Form 990-N  for your non-profit organization you go to the following website

 

https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/annual-electronic-filing-requirement-for-small-exempt-organizations-form-990-n-e-postcard

 

 Press the button that says submit Form 990-N. You will reach the following page.

 

Sign in with login.gov information 

 

 Sign in 

 
 Once you get the code on your phone enter the code. Then you reach here.

 

 Pressing either of the two available options on the page above you reach the problem page.
 

 

You must edit where it says edit to change to “exempt organization” as shown above.

If you don't make that change you will get the error notice.

"An ever has occurred. See below for more information. If the problem continues, please contact the IRS at 877- 829- 5500

IRS error code 3000

In short, the key is to change to exempt organization before you can go any further in filing a Form 990-N  for your non-profit organization. 

Rim Jhim Hall, Kabul, California

 

Look at this photo. You can clearly see the faces of these Afghan men and women leaving Kabul on a US Air Force plane after the city fell to the Taliban in 2021. You wonder about their stories and ask what happened to them and where they went. I met one of them in San Jose two days ago.

This young Afghan could speak Urdu. How come? I have met older Afghans living in Europe and the USA who are fluent in Urdu. They moved south after the Russian invasion in 1979. While staying in Pakistan for a couple of years, waiting for their asylum papers to be processed for migration to western countries, they picked up Urdu. But Masud was too young to be one of them. How did he speak Urdu so well? He told me he was born in Karachi! He explained to me where he and his family lived in Karachi: the landmarks he described--Disco Bakery, Rim Jhim Hall--made sense. He was only seven when the US forced the Taliban out of Kabul and Hamid Karzai came into power. One day, Masud's father said to the family, "Let's go back to our home country." And just like that, the family moved back to Kabul. After completing his studies, Masud found work with the US Embassy. Several years later, when Kabul fell back to the Taliban, his employment earned him a seat in the C-17 cargo plane that left Afghanistan with over 600 people.
