Friends and family don't always want to hear how evil this empire is, and no matter the slaughter in Palestine, most Israelis still go about their daily lives without knowing or caring what's happening right next to them. It's instilled from birth: "There's no such thing as Palestinians; they're just vermin that must be eliminated. WE are the chosen." The only time most Jews in Israel get upset is when they feel THEY are in danger of their lives changing. Keep up the good reporting, Caitlin and Tim.
This area has been depicted in such a " holy " light that objectivity has gone past the U - bend down the drain to be well - nigh irretrievable, unfortunately.
"But because it was Biden and not Trump, there was this background assumption that surely the grownups in charge would take care of this thing." - hopefully this generation of students have realized there's no sides, no reps or dems or even Mickey Mouse - rather just one huge stinking sewer.
If Trump were in power, he would already have called out the National Guard. We need another system of governance. Voting is just to make it look as if the elite are giving the proles their say.
National Guard is being threatened with right now is it not? Also, Trump was calling for National Guard to be deployed during BLM riots - those were real riots, weren't they? - and no dice.
As to voting - of course. That's my stance for a long, long time. Cost me my relationship with Jeano "The Madame" here... 😉😀
Jeano changes from time to time, I think. She told me I was "disgusting" for saying "in our millions in our billions, we are all Palestinians". She just did not understand the chant that is chanted at most pro Palestinian demos.
"Jeano changes from time to time, I think" - well, I don't think so. She vacillates for a while but then strikes if the other's position is firm. And once she hates someone it's for good. Such is our Jeano, she requires total submission, that's why I dubbed her "The Madame".
The name calling is a counterproductive happening in these comments sometimes. I think it is best to ignore them. It is just people who don't know how to properly express themselves. Maybe too much social media.
"The name calling is a counterproductive happening" - sure, but I don't shy away from responding in kind as was the case with that particular individual. Also, some obvious visiting trolls do not warrant politeness, I don't think.
Agree one hundred percent with Caitlin's analysis, and also agree that we all need to step up our own game. In my case, as a baby boomer, it's even more important for me to 'show up' and not 'shut up.' Forwarding this article to tons of people. Thx again, Caitlin. Aleta
I believe the plan is Jared Kusner, MBS and some Israeli billionaires intend to develop Gaza into a playground. Utilizing Palestinians as economic slaves.
"the president is an immoral Israel-coddling imperialist"
…. Ain’t that the truth? 'If Trump had won'… instead shitlibs are still saying that Biden is THE most empathetic president ever! Emphatic even though he’s supporting the genocide. And even though many of them are against what Biden is allowing Israel to do and giving them the bombs to do it, they are still going to vote for Biden anyway because of Trump. "Trump will be worse for Palestinians!' Well he might be, but by the time he wins most Palestinians will be dead because Biden allowed Israel to slaughter everyone in Gaza!
Exactly. The "lesser evil" vote shaming argument doesn't work well when your "lesser evil" is simply doing "evil" by funding and arming Israel so it can commit a genocide. If everyone voted their conscience, they're wouldn't be all this "lesser evil" running things into the ground.
Agreed my friend, agreed. Watch the video of Jill Stein being arrested Sat. Fascists have been here for a long, long time. I sense they are becoming afraid the students are waking up. Vote NO on Genocide Joe, Jill Stein 24 : )
The above is very important to to understand, they did the above already with Israel illegal occupying Palestine and then guess what happened after that and BEOFRE the all-too-emphasised "October 7th":
"It took half a year for that illusion to be dispelled. Half a year for people to really start going, “Oh shit. They’re really just going to keep these atrocities going. Nobody in charge cares about stopping this.”
It's taken way too long for the majority of people to wake up to this reality, IMO. I lost all illusions that the Biden Administration was going to do anything positive at all to end the genocide by about the third week. I wasn't even sure the first week, but I thought I'd give him a little wiggle room to say or do something to put a halt to it before the month was over. After all, Reagan called up Menachem Begin in 1982 and had him stop bombing Lebanon in less than 20 minutes. Go figure that every neolib's most hated president, Reagan, demonstrated more compassion than Genocide Joe!
But thank God for Gens Z, X, P, D, Q and all the rest who have taken to the streets and university campuses demanding an end to this forever! They will be long remembered for their consciences and compassion. The sociopaths will be forgotten, dead and buried. ( I just hope that day will come soon.)
Social passivity on a whole range of issues may well be the death of the west as we know it. With each passing day the road to redemption gets longer and rockier.
In truth, not only the USA but also all the other countries did not intervene to enforce the decisions of the International Court of Justice of 26 January and 28 March nor that of the Security Council of 25 March 2024. Out of indifference and/or out of interest and/or fear. After all, what is the world doing to prevent 20/25 thousand children from dying of hunger and/or curable diseases every day?
There were certainly signs that Biden was going to sit by and watch this all unfold:
* $11 million from AIPAC, more than Schumer and McConnell COMBINED
* An old speech where he said "If there were no Israel, the United States would have to INVENT an Israel" (EMPHASIS in original)
* Filling his Cabinet with Zionists, including four of the five most high profile positions: State, Treasury, Justice, and DHS. He didn't put a Zio at Defense, but he DID tap a career military man, requiring a special exemption from Congress.
I do think the impetus for the protests was the passage of an additional $14 billion in Israeli military aid, without even considering placing conditions on it, or demanding that the Erez, Rafah, and Kerem Shalom (ironically, "Vineyard of Peace" in Hebrew) all be restored to pre-October operational levels, or calling for an independent investigation of war crimes allegations, or of the World Central Kitchen attack, or the Flour Massacre, or... or... or... or...
When we shut our school down in 1969, I thought my father would kill me when I got home. I heard Thank you and that was enough. I cry thinking about how helpless and useless I am to our heroes of Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, South Africa, and Students around the world. Jill Stein was arrested Sat. in St. Louis at the Univ. The video of police throwing a bicycle on her and dragging her to the ground should wake the most closed-minded. israel is coming for all of us who speak against this Genocide. Vote NO on Genocide Joe, Jill Stein another Hero.

And those are the Zionists in Israel. Listen to this Jew who grew up in a Zionist home in the US:

Jen Perlman is taking on Wasserman-Schultz! I am sure Jen could use our support.

In general, though, agree with your stance.

I am with you, this time I will not stop until Palestine is FREE : )

Extremely well written article.

Typica GOP / AKA Party of Trump.
no different under genocide Joe.
Don't forget the oil and gas off shore. Israel is already building a pipeline to the Red Sea.

Hi Landru
The visibility that the fucking cop who smashed his bike into Jill Stein can’t be bought with any amount of money! I love the publicity it got her 😁
It's far more than funding and arming. The Biden and Blinken deliberately took the leash of the attack dogs TWO YEARS AGO.

Tell that to all those Evangelical drones with little or no critical thinking out there. SOME OF US need NO convincing, not at all.

'...proves that government does not deserve to exist, and that it needs to be completely dismantled from top to bottom...'
It's safe to say that in order solve the many systemic problems inherent in our societies, our political systems need to undergo serious reform.
Like a classic grade school prick, the bully mocks us, the globalist monster enjoys the genocide and loves seeing people support the evil.
