Beautifully said, dear Caitlin.

I want peace, prosperity and freedom to determine their own destinies for these people.

I want them to be able to attend school and choose their future( indeed I want them to HAVE a future.)

I want them to no longer have to listen to the sounds of drones and explosions.

I want them to survive.

Most of all, I beg their forgiveness for being an Amerikkkan. 😢

I do hope that curse doesn't cover what I wish for Zionist fascists. If it does I might be in trouble.

Close to 30 years ago, former CIA officer Philip Agee was interviewed about the United States’ role in destabilising countries, such as Cuba and Nicaragua.

Fascinatingly enough, he explained how, when governments prioritise social justice and equality by providing education and healthcare, as Cuba does, the United States moves to disrupt their processes.

Countries like Nicaragua, Cuba, Grenada and others that have challenged US hegemony, so they can provide a good quality of life to their people, were or are being destroyed militarily or economically. This comes as the US government oppresses its population.

i just want the bombing to stop and for people to stop dying. I want children to stay alive for their parents and parents to stay alive for their children. I want the IDF to become humanized somehow.

What I truly want for the Palestinians is freedom on their own land. This is something I already have. Thank you Caitlin.

We are all Palestinians, we are all Ukrainians! People fail to realize the world in 2024 is so highly populated, so highly integrated we are all affected directly or indirectly. If wars ended at midnight tonight we will still be dealing with consequences for decades. If we only knew the true costs and hidden costs of wars would they would have been banished long ago. Peoples of the West just can't bring ourselves to recognize we are slave states to the Empire's despotism and with each day our futures become grimmer.

I want for the Palestinians, their land, their families, their homes before 1947-48. To live in peace and security with their neighbors.

Even if you hadn't written this essay, the truth is that I want safety, self-determination, prosperity, and an overall positive future for the Palestinians.

As I was reading this, I kept saying Amen. And then I read the closing word. From your heart to God’s ears. Amen!

It is a special Jewish project. Don't let them fool us into thinking Zionism is in a vacuum.... Jewishness & Zionism go hand in hand!

But can we all remember that NOT ALL Jews are Zionist cnuts and not many Zionist cnuts are Jews...

99.8 % of the Global population can get along well, like, love or whatever each other... the globalist parasitical scum, the so called elites that we see and their political and corrupt corporate sponsors NEED ELIMINATING.

God bless the Palestinians; but please let us not forget the Syrians, the Lebanese, the Iraqis and everyone else also being targeted globally .... as I type.

Statement from the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance:

"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Dear honorable people...

The Israeli enemy, in its aerial attacks on our areas, tends to repeat the raid on the same targeted locations within close time periods, hardly exceeding a few minutes, with the aim of confirming the kill and shedding blood. Therefore, we urge you, our dear people, for your safety, to stay away from the targeted locations and not to approach or gather around them, leaving the relief efforts to the concerned authorities entrusted with this task. Your courage and nobility are sources of pride, but your lives are more precious than anything, and preserving them is our collective responsibility.

Beautifully said. In other words, it is the Golden Rule.

The rule which Zionism (one of the most rabidly sectarian, exclucivist, hierarchical, supremacist, murderous, God-denying and anti-wholistic ideologies on the planet) and Zionist tribalists (the most thoroughly indoctrinated, deceived, short-sighted, propagandized, well-intentioned but misguided people on the planet) completely reject!!

Sectarian exclucivist supremacist anti-wholistic zionism does NOT protect Jewish people (i'm Jewish Israeli) but precisely the opposite. Its rabid anti-wholism, sectarianism, tribalist supremacy, profound murderous violence, is the number one cause for INSECURITY for Jews and everyone else, in my experience and understanding.

I am open to have a dialogue about this, if anyone is interested to discuss this (paid zionist tribalists, you can spare us your sectarian hatred and violence. Only if someone is sane and mature enough to have a non-hateful non-egoic non-dogmatic dialogue of listening, curiousity and evolving).
