You noted that Caitlin (and I guess others) could republish your comments here.
I went to your site, and noticed that you have published three pieces. You provide no hyperlinked references to support your claims... that's a major NO-NO, at least to me anyway. When you read Caitlin's articles, she always provides hyperlinked references to support her claims (or if it is a claim she has made previously, she has hyperlinked at that time).
Your specific posting, which you seem to have paraphrased here in this comment section is this article of yours... ""Israeli Apartheid Knows No Bounds"". You ought to consider re-publishing this piece with hyperlinks to all your references that support your claims. This is hugely important to anyone wanting their perspectives to to be taken seriously (as opposed to sort of cheerleading). Either that or inform the reader that what you wrote is just your opinion (when I submit even just a comment, I generally try to inform people that what I'm writing is my "opinion", what I "think"). Personally, I want to be able to click on all of the journalist's hyperlinks (or randomly select various ones) to verify their claims, and the quality of their references.
I will not forward/send out an article that does not support their claims/position with verifiable references. Serious journalists/researchers will always do this. As just a case in point, if you read any Noam Chomsky book/research, sometimes the last 20% (percent) of his book pages are dedicated to just footnotes/references (a 400 page book of his could often have 80 pages of clearly verifiable references).
Perhaps there is veracity to some/most (maybe even all?) your claims... who
knows? (knowing the utter depravity of what Israel is doing, and has been doing for a very long time, there is that possibility), but from what I have seen/experienced over many years, disseminating un-verified (or improperly verified) claims can often (ultimately) be extremely damaging to one's position (and one's "cause"... assuming you have one), and their ability to be taken seriously in the future. There is more than enough, MOUNTAINS OF, completely factual reasons to utterly abhor Israel (without having to manufacture anything else... which I'm not saying you have done here... as I really don't know, haven't even tried to verify your claims... only that in your publications on your site you have not provided a way for the reader to easily verify the claims you are making ("easily" being the operative word).
Anyway, just a suggestion for your future publications, or if you decide to RE-publish your piece that I specifically pointed out above.
