Thank you for making the plight of Palestinian children public. I support Jewish Voices for Peace. I have no idea if it will do any good, but we’ve already had over forty years of this conflict. We can end this. We will end this.

I can't and don't watch US media, but the video clips I just saw on George Galloway's MOATS were sickening revolting disgusting revolting and barbaric - Israel is condemned for all time.

"Israel" is insane and incomprehensible to any rational, reasonable thinking human. I've started to think that Israel's more like a Western Front Company, or Shell Corporation, that decided the Holocaust was a brilliant business idea, and why had they not thought of it sooner? If you've ever encountered anti-Palestinian racism, it's truly an ugly, ugly thing. How Israel (and of course the West) can embrace this Extermination Policy, post-Holocaust, well, that's what it is. What's going on now is not going to end well for Israel, and the problem I'm seeing is that a lot of Israelis are not on board with their stupid Government, which is just a Western Neo-Imperialist Front Organization, but they're going to be thrown "under the bus" just the same, just like the Palestinians...

"Israel apologists are the worst."

Multiply it by 10 and you'll get Ukraine apologists. And it is no wonder as Israeli model apparently was used as a template to set up Ukraine. Zelensky and others openly proclaimed they wanted to be like Israel. Mostly funded, but in other aspects as well.

Well, Ukraine will go down and if it takes Israel with it - so much for the better. Today's Greenwald featured Lee Fang who interviewed a few of nut jobs from the Congress - the deranged evangelicals that they are - as to why they support Israel: https://rumble.com/v3rv2es-system-update-show-171.html?start=2762

Caitlin—Ditto your last sentence in this excellent column. My love and respect for Jewish Voices for Peace and Rashida Tlaib in particular and all brave protesters in general is massive. It’s one of the few things that keeps me sane in this time of complete moral collapse in the West.

Check out Jeffrey St. Clair, Counterpunch. He captures the essence of....genocide...

"When you declare total war against Gaza, which has been under perpetual siege since 1967 after being seized by Israel during the Six Day War, what is it you’re going to war against? There are no airbases, no army bases, no tank battalions, no air defense systems, no naval ports, no oil refineries, no rail system, no troop barracks, no armored personnel carriers, no howitzers, no satellite systems, no attack helicopters, no fighter jets, no anti-tank batteries, no submarines, no command-and-control centers. Just people, most of them women and kids."

Yes, I’ve long support JVP. Raised as a Christian, I am equally appalled by the inhumane, stupid response by Catholic Zionist Biden and members of Congress who give the green light, funding, weapons to Israelis genocide of Gaza/ Palestine. These people have no soul, no integrity, no conscience, no compassion! America is in bad shape! Look what the Republicans elected as House Speaker!😡

Caitlin you got this. It’s over. Ethnic cleansing, mass murder of innocent children, turning people’s homes to ashes is no longer tolerated for the Jews or anyone. Outlawed by International law, Geneva Conventions supported only by the rabid orthodox who control the Israeli Knesset, their ruthless and delusional Prime Minister and the entire corrupted lackey US government. Game is over. The world is disgusted at this calculated genocide.

The absence of any sense of decency from our present administration is appalling and a national disgrace that may be impossible to erase.. We must call on the Presidential candidates to identify where they stand on this infamy so we all know who is bought and in the pocket of these ravagers.

This is the depth of Israel’s real and actual intent: to kill and maim every Palestinian. To continue killing them until there are no more Palestinians to kill. When it’s done it will come after Palestinians in neighbouring countries that think badly of the ultra apartheid regime and kill them too. This will be what its existence will be about; a genocide country.

Thoroughly agree with the final part. I have so much admiration for Jewish defenders of the Palestinians. They are a credit to humanity.

After seeing the non stop bombing *Genocide* being carried against mostly innocent women and children in Gaza: I don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to Israel in the future “I will shed zero tears for the destruction of the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.” - Thor Swayze

''When you realize that your government and all it's allies bet all their middle eastern foreign policy chips on a psychotic cult leader.''

The cult is Zionism - like the US and UK - politicians are persuaded to take the pledge of allegiance.
