Because the protests derail the goals of Empire, while the genocide is in furtherance of Empire.

The slur of antisemitism is used to enable Genocide, by intimidating and silencing.

​Anyone using The Slur should be promptly asked if they support/supported Genocide, now and in the future.

Another 51 bodies were found today in the mass graves uncovered at Gaza Nasser Hospital. Many were handcuffed before they were killed. Reported by Al Jazeera news.

My 17 year old kid shared a video post of the police arresting students and faculty on campus with a one-word description: Dystopian. When the beating hearts with no college education are more clear-eyed than those with degrees from the Ivies, it makes me think maybe I shouldn’t send my kids to college.

Admit it: the US has the finest gov't money can buy.

The kind of society where the Times gives us its fashion critic to push upon us a more positive view of ultra-Zionist shitehead manipulator Zuckerberg, and I quote: "The robotic nerd depicted in “The Social Network” has turned into the kinder, more accessible face of Silicon Valley". Furthering the goals of the society as enslaver of our minds and hearts, turning us all into perennial rube consumers to whom a genocide is incidental news..

Well, because of Biden and his merry assassins we are being taught hypocrisy again and again.

The crass stupidity here is that trying to stop protests only makes things worse.

I am really grateful for these kids and keep on going after all how many protesters can be putt in prison!

All well said Caitlin.

You can be certain that there are Jews that are against The Genocide

as they want it all to go back to how it was - pretending that Israel is a good place.

​​

Zionist murder, theft and oppression was not invented on October 7th.

On October 6th Netanyahu was as little as three months away from annexing

a large segment of the West Bank.

What were the Palestinians to do? What were their options to halt the ongoing theft?

As we can see from the Disgrace to Civilization - the international community has been unable to even stop Genocide. No one was coming to stop further theft -- annexation --,

no one.

"Netanyahu shelved plans to officially annex large parts of the West Bank in 2020 in exchange for normalizing relations with the UAE.

The countries involved in the Abraham Accords did not publicize it at the time, but Netanyahu’s commitment to not annex the West Bank was limited in duration.

Days after the normalization agreement was announced in September 2020, three sources familiar with the negotiations told The Times of Israel that then-US president Donald Trump gave the UAE a commitment that Washington would not recognize any Israeli annexation move until 2024 at the earliest."

Total silence of universal slaves is the goal.

What comes after that?

I’m not sure which incident prompted it (it’s hard to keep up) but a few weeks ago I found myself thinking, “Are we really living in a world where to be anti-genocide is to be antisemitic?” Fortunately, there are many Jews who would vehemently disagree.

I have had conversations with numerous people around Columbia University and asked them to name one antisemitic comment that was made. I made the criteria clear: protesting the war is not antisemitic. Not a single person could come up with anything.

It’s a bad faith bigotry accusation meant to stifle dissent by intimidation.

Caitlin, clearly you write for reasons I don't know because I don't know you personally. However, as I've been following you for years it appears you write as a kind of therapy in addition to spreading the word of truth to the indoctrinated masses too.

I've been fortunate enough to witness you becoming more and more creative and capturing intense feelings with your special emotional driven words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please keep up this completely sane and valuable insight for the few of us with functioning brains and hearts. Love to you and your family.

I think that at this point we should all have enormous respect for the Yemeni's. It seems they are the only country doing something to stop shipments to Israel and according to the latest news, even though they are being bombed regularly, they say they will not back down.

I turned on Glenn Beck this morning, I regretted it once I heard him barking and screeching about Israel, he is spreading lies daily about the genocide they're committing against Palestinian people daily. He wants us to believe Israel is losing people because of Hamas and Hamas is who's killing Palestinians. I am ready to scream, how is it we can see the truth but he can't.

It’s literally mind-boggling how the corrupt corporate media continues to vomit out a stream of blatant lies, unabated…. Yes, this is what we’ve come to!
