Wait til the Zoomers figure out that Epstein did what he did because he was running a sexual blackmail operation for Israeli intelligen9⅘ce.

The most significant aspect of the Epstein story is not that he helped some famous people rape minors, it’s that powerful intelligence agencies use child sex slaves and sexual blackmail to exert control over our society."

All this has long been evident. The question is why nobody other than us dissidents and fringe elements are willing to go there.

Hello I'm from Scotland and I only discovered the genocide issue upon Palestine I stay within ten minutes walk from Raytheon and my local MPs office is next door to the genocide factory. They are arresting and charging people of leadership quality within Palestine solidarity movements .

I mean for instance Mick Napier from Scottish Palestine solidarity campaign got charged with terrorism and he's just an activist that's been on the case since Vietnam war. I've met him before and he's definitely not a terrorist.

He's a man of peace ✌️🇵🇸

I won't be voting for Biden. I've been a registered Democrat since I turned 18 in 1994. I have always been bullied by shithead white liberals to vote for the lesser evil. When the choice is Genocide Joe or Dictator Donnie, there is no real choice. I won't do it. I'm voting for a candidate who has clear statements on Israel, genocide and holding Israel accountable.

To my traditional liberal Democrat acquaintances -- to whom I can no longer speak calmly -- your brainwashing is more abhorrent than any other characteristic I have ever been asked to overlook in a person well-known to me. For in the face of this slaughter of children, you voice concerns to me about the threat of Trump, the need to elect Democrats this year, restore to power this same group of prevaricating murdering imbeciles who are directly complicit in these merciless actions that urinate on compassion, defecate on any system of ethics I understand as tenable for the co-existence of human beings. Deeply examine yourselves because this is far more despicable than simply Trump derangement syndrome.

"Israel apologists pretend to be standing up for Jews when they’re really just standing up for a government. They’re garden variety bootlickers, the same as any empire simp you see shrieking at people for criticizing western warmongering. They’re just slobbering over state power."

My thoughts exactly. Let's call these aggressive apologists what they really are: "Fanatical Volunteers for Apartheid, Ethnic-Cleansing, and Genocide".

They'll do whatever it takes -- lie, spin, smear, cancel anyone who dares criticize, or even question, their Idol State.

Caitlin says it's insanity to support Israel.

That's True.

The US is deeply in debt and every dime is borrowed on the backs of Americans. Israel's mean income is $54000. Per year. So when you read this and see that Your government GIVES more than $ 100000. Per person in Israel per year. You should be very very upset. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2023-10-10/how-much-aid-does-the-u-s-give-to-israel.

I really don't think Trump can win again but even if he does I really hope there would be no more Israel at that point. Israel has exposed itself as a nation of parasites and world would be a much better place without it.

Excellent point.

Caitlin makes excellent points, and when actually reading and thinking about them, I say to myself how can such a large number of people be so ignorant to believe all the lies and propaganda and support such inhumanity. Of course the answer may be some innate error in our genetic makeup, the same error that has us destroying the Earth, its animals, and soon most life in the rush to the 6th Extinction Event.

Some particularly odious issues--

We may get Trump as potus again because the DNC sabotaged a primary contest within the Party, brought on by corporate bribed officials and the arms industry. And maybe there is a little blackmail going on also in the background?

It is the sickest situation when peace loving protesters and active environmentalists can be labeled as terrorists and their lives instantly ruined by a government that jails them and financially ruins them, and in some instances tortures them. Are we struggling to keep our Democracy or a fascist state? Look at Assange and fear. Look at Mandela and hope.

Many major cities have since after 911 sponsored and paid for their police and others to go to Israel for training in their style of anti-terror tactics. There is a bonding between police departments here and the state of Israel, and if labeled a antisemite in the U.S., beware. This situation probably is present in other countries as well. The militarization of the locals in charge of protecting us is frightening and ominous.

So what is around the corner? Will major nations of the world coalesce to bring the U.S. Empire to its knees, or will change come from within, with strikes and open revolution and decay? Or both?

I lost a supposedly good friend this past week, who advocates for the continued mass slaughter in Gaza. He advocates killing as many innocents as necessary to eventually destroy Hamas. His

excuse, “that is the way of the world, always has been”. He became incensed when I suggested he was a wannabe fascist.

Peace!

Reading Caitlin's Newsletter is like therapy for me. It validates my feelings and thinking at this critical juncture of human life on this planet. I cannot speak to my father or sisters about politics as my sisters are ardent Biden supporters and my Dad? He worked in Jerusalem for the Empire back in the 80s. They have all exiled and abandoned me before and now I stay in touch just to know how we all end up.

I really appreciate your laser focus on Palestine. It is ridiculous to worry about Trump or even mention his name at this point.

The world is upside down when the President of Harvard is black listed, (pardon the term) because a few angry and powerless students suggested an intifada against Israel, while the entire US government is in the act of committing genocide against the Palestinians. Try putting that comment in the New York Times and it will be rejected as being hate speech.

You always make so many incisive points, thank you.

We have been pointing out that Israel is a lawless apartheid State that is parasitic on the US government and taxpayer since the 1980s...but people "just smile and turn away."...It's an unpleasant fact that needs to be ignored in their minds...Now the Zoomers and the Millennials are willing to face these unpleasant facts, while the Boomers and Gen X won't...It's just a matter of time...Many of the pro-Palestinian protestors at Harvard were Jewish....

Convenient for many, that Epstein never got to trial.

"It honestly blows my mind that there are still people adamantly supporting Israel after all this. After all the people they’ve killed. After all the lies they’ve been caught in. After all their comments endorsing genocide and ethnic cleansing, and all their actions showing they mean it."

Because Our Team, and yes, Israel means it, and yes, these people cheer with delight at the sight of murdered human kittens.

But only if those kittens are on The Other Team.

Much of the support comes from religious groups in the United States.
