It's not only the Palestinians that the Talmudists and even some Torah Jews call "animals". All non-Jews are animals to them. Remember that "goyim" means "cattle". They would do the same to us as they do to the Palestinians if they had the chance. Sad but true.
Well we are told we should love our enemies and those people are my enemy because here in Australia, as with every other country, they interfere with our domestic politics.
I believe loving someone doesn’t mean being ‘nice’ to them, just like loving your children doesn’t entail being subservient to them. Love your enemy enough to care to disagree, scold, reprimand, disagree and scorn when warranted.
What about Netanyahu, or Gallant who perceive the Palestinians as animals, and trust me it's not because of the attack by Hamas. That's how the Palestinians have always been perceived by such people which gives them permission to marginalize them and treat them as disposable. Netanyahu, the megalomaniac is running out of time to accomplish what he has always wanted, their removal, and if it means genocide, so be it.
"Our race is the master race! We are divine God's on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. Other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Our Destiny is to Rule over the inferior races, the masses will lick our feet and serve as Our Slaves!" - Menachem Begin, founder of the Likud
Though Menachem Begin was a vile and despicable human being (and a war criminal and terrorist), this is not only a misattributed quote, but also a false one.
I seriously doubt that he ever said that, but I will do some research. Ever hear of the Pope's Doctrine of Discovery - written in 1493? Or ever hear of Adolf Hitler? Apparently a friend of yours.
Kinda like the European Christian white male overlords have treated the first people of just about every country they've colonized which pretty much covers the entire earth.
I'm afraid he's a lost cause. Most Israeli's want him gone. To me he's a megalomaniac. Some would call him profoundly narcissistic. I never liked him from decades ago. He is someone unfortunately who will never even come to acknowledge his many flaws. I look at my own country, America, no different in many ways except we kill far afield, and one country after another, and now provide the weapons for a genocide. Pray is right.
Excuse me Dubby, but Caitlins' piece is about Zionists, mass murder of children and genocide. If I post a comment I prefer to stick to the subject. How you get your ridiculous assertion from my comment is anybodys guess.
P.S. Caitlin has also said on many occaisions that the religion doesn't matter a flying fuck re these arseholes.
Not even Hamas wants to kill all the Jews. They're most recent charter (2017) even makes a point to differentiate Jews from Israel and Zionism. It specifically says their fight is not with the Jews.
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.
Actually, I'm pretty sure what you have is what you perceive as freedom on land that was stolen from the original inhabitants who are still being oppressed and subjugated.
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.
Robert Billyard, we may recognize that we are slave states, but recognition is one thing and changing the situation is another. In any case, even people who are not rich often think that being rich is the goal and rich people are better or smarter or something. We need to undertake the enormous job of changing that thinking.
Vast empty areas? Like Palestine to the 1948 Zionists? Humanity is destroying the living space & resources of hundreds, or thousands of non-human creatures. Yes, I mean animals. Humans now occupy one third of Mother Earth & is leaving less & less of the tiny third left for all the other living (for the moment) creatures.
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.
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).
What I want for the Palestinians is the same things most humans want: Freedom, their own sovereignty, the right to go and come as they please without having to be searched at checkpoints, the right to due process, the right to not be tortured, the right to raise their children in a happy, safe environment and so much more. In other words, the right to live like any other dignified human being.
I'm stuck on a bit of a dilemma around this.. I get the point but how do I wish good things for people I despise so they wish better for me when I don't give a shit what they want. And should they wish ill will on me for it? Because these Zionist psycos seem to want everyone else dead or their slaves. And I have come to hate them as is their existential dreads.
So I wish Ill will on them? Seems like a spiral ...
I hope I see in my life time the end of this Israeli dispicable experiment.
Power corrupted weak greedy minded people I have no respect for.
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. 😢
Cognitive Dissonance - In the fundamental character of humans, most of them.
It is not about to change . . .

You don't require forgiveness.

Those who do do not require forgiveness.
They require gaol . . .
Nicely said.
What are you? Amerikkkan
What a dipshit, go fuck yourself.
Do the same yourself with a sharp stick.
Maybe they should go to schools where they're not being bombed by Israel.
I wish kids in IsraHell would go to schools where they’re not taught that Palestinians are “animals”.
It's not only the Palestinians that the Talmudists and even some Torah Jews call "animals". All non-Jews are animals to them. Remember that "goyim" means "cattle". They would do the same to us as they do to the Palestinians if they had the chance. Sad but true.
Agree Helen!
Nope.
It’s ISRAHELL.
Absolutely certain it’s almost perfect for those who haven’t been humiliated and dehumanized for as long as they can remember
It has to start the other way around.......
it's actually good that you hasbara bots keep at it here so people don't start thinking anything is really changing for the better
I kicked your ass, old fuck.
I do hope that curse doesn't cover what I wish for Zionist fascists. If it does I might be in trouble.
It doesn’t, it can’t. One is of love, the other of hate and evil.
Well we are told we should love our enemies and those people are my enemy because here in Australia, as with every other country, they interfere with our domestic politics.

Animals should be respected and treated just as well as humans.
Hi Lisa
If the Gazans are “animals”, they’re much, much better than the filth that is humankind.
It's not only Netanyahu, it is every Zionist;
"Our race is the master race! We are divine God's on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. Other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best.

An evil pervasive ideology!

I guess there is always hope.
Honestly, at 75, I still have no idea how to treat other people. I just hope God guides me.
god doesn't know how to treat people either, so it might be better to look somewhere else for help
Oh dear. Maybe the spirit within?
brilliant
Karl:
Treat them with kindness if they deserve it.
Treat them with scorn if they don’t.
Fuck that “love thy enemy” bullshit.
So well said, Caitlin🫶
Only "zionist" fascists? I guess Christian fascists or Muslim fascists are all okay in your book.

do tell exactly where you got that ridiculous notion
so you got it from your own misinterpretation, unless you can also tell exactly how you landed on that unnuanced dipshittery... idiot

Oops
What's a country?
Do you mean the thing with invisible lines, to keep inferiors out?
Who gets to decide this?
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.
Hi Susan
It’s doubtful that will ever happen. The IDF requires EXTERMINATION, along with the likes of AIPAC.
What I truly want for the Palestinians is freedom on their own land. This is something I already have. Thank you Caitlin.
Actually, I'm pretty sure what you have is what you perceive as freedom on land that was stolen from the original inhabitants who are still being oppressed and subjugated.
Native Americans never lived on my particular piece of land. There is no sign it was ever inhabited by humans.
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'm with the Palestinians and with the Russians protecting the Eastern Ukrainian Russian speakers. So basically, to hell with Zelensky.
I’m with you on that.
Me three.
Robert Billyard, we may recognize that we are slave states, but recognition is one thing and changing the situation is another. In any case, even people who are not rich often think that being rich is the goal and rich people are better or smarter or something. We need to undertake the enormous job of changing that thinking.
I bought a wild piece of land nobody wanted, made it beautiful, and live on next to nothing. Am I rich or poor?
you are a smart human being. And lucky.
Are you content & joyful?
Then I would consider you rich.
Wealthy beyond words.
You are fortunate.
You are rich beyond gold, Karl.
Have you ever owned any?
I have 16 feral cats. Does that count?
Vast empty areas? Like Palestine to the 1948 Zionists? Humanity is destroying the living space & resources of hundreds, or thousands of non-human creatures. Yes, I mean animals. Humans now occupy one third of Mother Earth & is leaving less & less of the tiny third left for all the other living (for the moment) creatures.
My error. Humans now occupy TWO THIRDS of Mother Earth, leaving only one third to the rest of Creation.

I want for the Palestinians, their land, their families, their homes before 1947-48. To live in peace and security with their neighbors.
The Palestinians who were kicked out of their homes in Tel Aviv should surely have them back. That was even part of the original UN plan.
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!
Well spoken!

What a wonderful way of seeing things! Absolutely correct though process!

Synopsis " The Golden Rule". Thank you kindly. Like minded Woodstock generation granny.
Mike, we need a “ Concert for Bangladesh “ for the Palestinians.
Except that all the participants would get dropped from their record labels.
Well Mike at least we have Roger Waters’ “ This is Not a Drill” tour.
Day-um, I’d give up an arm to see that!
