And honestly, it wouldn't matter if NO international human rights body had concluded that Israel is committing genocide as it's obvious to anyone with a functioning intellect that it is, not only given the official definition of genocide, but given that numerous Israeli officials have clearly and repeatedly verbalized the intent to destroy the Palestinians wholesale.
That was my first thought, when your so-called TOP officials tell you their intentions, why would we not believe what our eyes are showing us, what the IOF celebrates daily while it takes aim at small children, and what we see on our phones every damn day of this GENOCIDE by ISRAEL.
The USA has not only bought into committing genocide, they send weapons and ammunition. They have invaded Iran at least partly because Israel wanted that to happen.
No disrespect meant, but WHERE your tax dollars go should have NOTHING to do with your reasons for all this.
I hate it when people use 'my tax dollars...' to justify their opinions - that's just weak/selfish thinking (IMHO). There are more important (and real) reasons for why all this is BEYOND wrong than the 'my tax dollars...' supposition that is bandied around so frequently all over the internet and IRL (again, JMO - just my opinion).
Again, you missed my argument completely. Maybe think slowly about the multiple deeper implications of using reasoning like 'I hate XYZ because of where "my tax dollars go"'.
For example, if your tax dollars DIDN'T GO where they currently do and everything else remained the same, how does that change things for you (if it does)?
And I'm not even going to go deeper into the 'where my tax dollars go' argument/excuse because most people DON'T UNDERSTAND the U.S. Tax System. They get their understanding from media sources/politicians/news outlets/etc. and have a very INCOMPLETE and inaccurate perception of how the whole tax system works (understanding MMT helps somewhat here).
This is the same attitude I now have to climate change deniers. No more listening, debating, presenting of irrefutable facts and both lived and expert testimony. It is happening, the truth cannot be denied, and I am not going to serve your interests by entertaining both sides-isms.
Well written and so true. Arguing with these cement headed Zionist racist fascist thugs is soul destroying. Long live the brave Palestinians under murderous oppression and occupation by the idf cowards and thugs. Long live forever a free independent Palestine and Lebanon.
No kidding the debate is over! These hasbarists are only embarrassing themselves by "signing" this propaganda letter. The newspapers/media outlets who print it are only embarrassing themselves. AND they're giving us a nice long list of people, zionist organizations and media outlets to boycott, divest from and sanction!
Caitlin, I don't know HOW you put up with all this Israeli and Zionist 'super-bullshit' on a daily basis. If I had to do it, I'd probably go complete BONKERS (with undesirable results for me and others).
I don't know how you & Tim manage, but there's definitely something for me to learn in how you're able to...
Fact: Israel is a murderous, inhumane and genocidal occupation that was given permission from Western colonial empires to call itself a state. Permission the colonial empires had no right to give.
Israel is devoid of humanity. It is depraved and evil and revels in both of those things. It is long past time that Israel and the western so called democracies be held accountable for the evil the have done and continue to do.
There is no Jewish people. There is a religion and its followers are called Jews and the zio state claims to act in the name of all of them so Jews and their religion have a major problem.
Uh, what "debate" even existed, except for what the habarists and apologists and accomplices and enablers and perpetrators wanted others to think? I mean, what's the difference between genocide and slaughter, or massacre, or mass murder in the body count, 1,000? 5,000? 10,000? does it matter? Oh, wait, collateral damage, there's the out, those who got in the way of the missiles, bombs, artillery and tank shell, and sniper bullets as the focus was really on the infrastructure, things like school, homes, hospitals, clinics, food markets, public water supplies, wastewater treatment plants, stuff like that, also war crimes, but actual people weren't the targets, unless they stupidly got in the way. So what's all to to-do about?
What's further disgusting - this is pretty much the standard way to describe Israel now - is that the soullessness of the tribe, the ruthlessness of it, is to be found in their creating the (of course) euphemistically titled "Creative Community for Peace." Well, I suppose if you're in the hate and murder business, it's to be expected. Oh, a tip - just as "further disgusting" attaches to Israel, "peace" does not. The only "peece" they're interested in is the "piece" of whatever they can grab for themselves, be it Palestinian, Syrian, Jordanian, or Lebanese land, or U.S. taxpayer dollars, or dupes who still fall for their line.
In 1653, Oliver Cromwell said to the Rump Parliament, associated with corruption, "In the name of God, go!" It has been repeated since, including to Neville Chamberlain, in May 1940. Time again, this time to Israel, only "In the name of God and everything in His cosmos and beyond, go, Israel, to hell and infinitely far beyond." About that there is no debate.
Am starting to get edgy again. Had settled down for a spell. I went ballistic for the same reasons that Charlie Kirk did regarding the Iran War. I never knew how adamantly against it he was until circa March this year. I am not defending him btw. I didnt know much about him until his death a year ago. In fact I assumed Tyler Robinson was the killer because i didn’t really give a shit.
Why do I bring him up? Because like I said he was dead set against DT going down this road. He had recently started to speak out about a bunch of other shit like the genocide and the hold a certain group of people have on our government. I hear so many people blame the reason we are still involved on DTs ego, stupidity, etc. I dont buy it. He is under the command of the same people who can openly commit genocide. Same folks that the world acknowledges has nuclear weapons yet nobody says shit. Rather or not Israel controls the U.S. or vice versa is inconsequential. The same people control all of the West.
What we have been seeing since early 2024 is overreach and panic. This is a good sign but understand hardship is coming. China, Russia, Iran had no choice but to deliver death by 1000 cuts. But even that might not be enough if they panic.
I assumed it was existential watching them switch from all things covid to all things Ukraine. I knew there was something mightily important about that transition. Here we are. I believe it’s why they brought Dumbass (DT) back. They figured his military recruiting numbers would be much better than Biden/Harris. If you doubt this imagine Harris would have started war with Iran.
Apologies for this rant. It’s just that I am trying to convey thoughts. I am very happy to have to terms with the left (sorry Chang lol). The right (West) has the know how to fight but they lack the heart. The heart is in the left. I tell people there are a helluva lot of good Commies and Socialists out there. We have been polarized to hate one another so we don’t come together.
Thank you Caitlin. All of you are beautiful souls 🥺
The grifter’s most important tool is the mark believing the “tale”. Absent credibility the grifter’s story falls apart and the mark walks away. Zionism is a grift. A murderous one. Aided and abetted by capitalist media and high level government officials the “tale” of a beleaguered and vulnerable Israeli society has persisted for decades. This narrative has collapsed. The last bastion of the “tale” is the despicable “Christian” Zionist insane asylum. Unfortunately these aiders and abettors of genocide number in the tens of millions. The attack on civil liberties in many nations is a direct result of the loss of support for the genocidal apartheid State of Israel. Once again civil disobedience is the only response to governments supporting the slaughter of innocent people anywhere.
I’m having a hard time with a “genocide” that doesn’t fit the definition AND that you aren’t applying to, say the Hutu-Tutsi bloodbath of a few years back or the “ethnic cleansing” of most of North Africa and Lebanon or the explicit threat Hamas claims was their goal on 10-7. Applying the term only to Israel seems like special pleading in the service of bigotry. But maybe that’s just me.
Seems unlikely. Why do YOU think the epithet is only applied to the people attacked and not to the attackers who specifically said they wanted to exterminate the population of Israel?
YOU asked a question (made a self-reflective statement) and got an honest answer. That YOU don't like the answer is ANOTHER 'you' issue for YOU to deal with. Go bother YOURSELF with your internal issues than polluting the rest of the world with your Zionist/pro-Israel bullshit (but that's just MY opinion).
BTW, heed what Caitlin says -> "If you cannot provide proof of this conspiracy, you need to shut the fuck up."
The colonial state was conceived, founded and has always functioned in terrorism and genocide.
‘They massacred Arab babies’
Headline in the Sydney Daily Telegraph, 1948.
This passage stands out:
Jews saw their opportunity. Men of the army of Zion attacked Deir Yassin at 10 a.m. that day.
They easily overcame the opposition. They killed 20 Arab defenders, and entered the village, tossing grenades into houses.
They killed old men, women, and children with bayonets. For three hours the slaughter went on.
Babies were killed in front of their mothers. Mothers’ throats were slit. Some were beheaded.
A group of men and women—some of the women obviously pregnant—were lined up and shot. The bloodlusting Jewish soldiery desecrated the bodies of pregnant mothers with knives.
When they had murdered 264 villagers, the Jews called a halt. They rounded up four truckloads of survivors of all ages and both sexes, tossed the bodies of the dead into the village well, and drove off with the survivors.
The victorious Jews drove the survivors through Jewish areas as exhibits of victory while Jews spat upon them. The parade continued, with breaks, for two days.

What, in your educated view, should Israel’s answer to Oct 7 have been? And what do the laws of war say about human shields and combatant positions in schools and hospitals - from which the students, patients and staff were not evacuated?
Well the French and Polish Resistance wanted to exterminate their occupiers so why the double standards? Or are you saying we should have fought with Germany in WWII to maintain occupation?
And your position is the Nazis had every right to exterminate the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto because they dared to resist just as the Muslims and Christians have done in the Gaza Ghetto? That is sick, truly sick.
And are you a fucking comedian in your spare time? The massively armed Israel with army, navy, air force, missiles nuclear weapons and the capacity to starve every single Goyim Palestinian, with a constantly declared policy of extermination and actions to that end certainly could, given the chance, wipe out 8 million Palestinians, BACKED BY THE US MILITARY, while the Palestinian Resistance WITH NO ARMY, NAVY, AIRFORCE, MISSILES OR REAL POWER has not got a fucking snowball's chance in Hell of exterminating the evil, terrorist, sadistic, savage bastards who occupy their country and murder their children on purpose.
Pray explain to us just how the Palestinian Resistance, Hamas being one of a dozen factions but a short name for idiots to remember, could exterminate the population of what some call Israel? Give us the plan??????????
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
No question to answer. Deflect all you want, Nazi fascist thug. Long live forever the brave Palestinians. Idf cowards and thugs still today murdered dozens more across Palestine and Lebanon. So again, Jewish terrorist thug, fuck off and die
Mostly I recall the USA's bogus claims that China was committing genocide in Xinjiang. Or the equally bogus claims of genocide in Ukraine and Iran. The USA lies about everything so it was business as usual.
OK now what about attacking hundreds of defenseless civilians? If you’re going to blame the IDF for one killing, don’t you have to apply the same metric to Hamas and Hezbollah for firing randomly at Israeli cities? And defenseless people?
It is just you. Hutu-Tutsi was a tribal civil conflict. But thankyou for admitting the Israeli bloodbath ranks with basket-case tribal savagery in Africa. You got that right.
Israel is a massively armed colonial occupation regime with a policy, stated and in actions of genocide, slaughtering civilians in a concentration camp where they are trapped, knowing half of them are children.
As to explicit goals by the Palestinian Resistance, a dozen factions including Hamas, their target was soldiers and police as prisoners of war to negotiate for the release of 10,000 Palestinian hostages, hundreds of them children, most without charge ore trial and any convicted denied a fair trial and faced a rigged military court with a 99.9% conviction record.
Israel invented hostage-taking in Syria in the Seventies and the Palestinian Resistance has used it to get hostages released. Gilad Shalit is a famous Israeli prisoner of war which led to more than a thousand Palestinian hostages being released. Which is why Israel invented the Hannibal Directive, which it used on October 7, murdering most of the 1,149 Israelis who died, to prevent prisoners of war being taken. The Tel Aviv regime now has 14,000 Palestinian hostages, hundreds of them children, held without charge whom it rapes, tortures, starves and is about to start executing with in their sicko-style, public viewing facilities so the zio psychopaths can eat, drink, laugh and gloat while children, men and women are murdered for being Goyim.
Bigotry is the modus operandi of ziorael and it always was. Why would any sane adult support such depravity and evil?
That’s another discussion. While we’re dredging up horror stories, what of Tibet and the Uyghurs? But mostly, why ONLY Israel if we’re concerned about genocide?
Sigh. Because the genocidal atrocities committed by Israel rank as some of the worst in human history and nothing done by China comes close.
China is not exterminating babies, children, adults - Israel is and has been for 78 years.
And Israel claims to be a Western democracy so compare apples with apples. China does not. Your comparison is a farce unless you are saying Israel needs to be compared with non-democratic tyrannies. There you have a point but by comparison China is still benign.
And honestly, it wouldn't matter if NO international human rights body had concluded that Israel is committing genocide as it's obvious to anyone with a functioning intellect that it is, not only given the official definition of genocide, but given that numerous Israeli officials have clearly and repeatedly verbalized the intent to destroy the Palestinians wholesale.

Rant all you want; it IS disrespect. I despise "my" government's policies, and I would deny it all funding if I could, not because I am cheap.
Again, you missed my argument completely. Maybe think slowly about the multiple deeper implications of using reasoning like 'I hate XYZ because of where "my tax dollars go"'.

What, in your educated view, should Israel’s answer to Oct 7 have been? And what do the laws of war say about human shields and combatant positions in schools and hospitals - from which the students, patients and staff were not evacuated?
Well the French and Polish Resistance wanted to exterminate their occupiers so why the double standards? Or are you saying we should have fought with Germany in WWII to maintain occupation?
And your position is the Nazis had every right to exterminate the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto because they dared to resist just as the Muslims and Christians have done in the Gaza Ghetto? That is sick, truly sick.
And are you a fucking comedian in your spare time? The massively armed Israel with army, navy, air force, missiles nuclear weapons and the capacity to starve every single Goyim Palestinian, with a constantly declared policy of extermination and actions to that end certainly could, given the chance, wipe out 8 million Palestinians, BACKED BY THE US MILITARY, while the Palestinian Resistance WITH NO ARMY, NAVY, AIRFORCE, MISSILES OR REAL POWER has not got a fucking snowball's chance in Hell of exterminating the evil, terrorist, sadistic, savage bastards who occupy their country and murder their children on purpose.
Pray explain to us just how the Palestinian Resistance, Hamas being one of a dozen factions but a short name for idiots to remember, could exterminate the population of what some call Israel? Give us the plan??????????
Read this page: https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition
This part is pertinent:
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Understand now?
OK, so why only apply this to Israel?
Fuck off meat head. Playing the moron or otherwise, fuck off with your propagandist putrid shit
Ah yes, insults, the standard reply of those who can’t answer the question.
No question to answer. Deflect all you want, Nazi fascist thug. Long live forever the brave Palestinians. Idf cowards and thugs still today murdered dozens more across Palestine and Lebanon. So again, Jewish terrorist thug, fuck off and die
Mostly I recall the USA's bogus claims that China was committing genocide in Xinjiang. Or the equally bogus claims of genocide in Ukraine and Iran. The USA lies about everything so it was business as usual.
Here ya go bubba. Watch this. Most chickenshit pussy thing I have ever seen. Now take in the fact they had the nerve to record and upload it.
Like I said …ultimate chickenshit

OK now what about attacking hundreds of defenseless civilians? If you’re going to blame the IDF for one killing, don’t you have to apply the same metric to Hamas and Hezbollah for firing randomly at Israeli cities? And defenseless people?
It is just you. Hutu-Tutsi was a tribal civil conflict. But thankyou for admitting the Israeli bloodbath ranks with basket-case tribal savagery in Africa. You got that right.
Israel is a massively armed colonial occupation regime with a policy, stated and in actions of genocide, slaughtering civilians in a concentration camp where they are trapped, knowing half of them are children.
As to explicit goals by the Palestinian Resistance, a dozen factions including Hamas, their target was soldiers and police as prisoners of war to negotiate for the release of 10,000 Palestinian hostages, hundreds of them children, most without charge ore trial and any convicted denied a fair trial and faced a rigged military court with a 99.9% conviction record.
Israel invented hostage-taking in Syria in the Seventies and the Palestinian Resistance has used it to get hostages released. Gilad Shalit is a famous Israeli prisoner of war which led to more than a thousand Palestinian hostages being released. Which is why Israel invented the Hannibal Directive, which it used on October 7, murdering most of the 1,149 Israelis who died, to prevent prisoners of war being taken. The Tel Aviv regime now has 14,000 Palestinian hostages, hundreds of them children, held without charge whom it rapes, tortures, starves and is about to start executing with in their sicko-style, public viewing facilities so the zio psychopaths can eat, drink, laugh and gloat while children, men and women are murdered for being Goyim.
Bigotry is the modus operandi of ziorael and it always was. Why would any sane adult support such depravity and evil?
Please, Hamas had plenty of Israeli combatants to attack. They targeted a music festival and almost defenseless civilians of all ages.
That’s another discussion. While we’re dredging up horror stories, what of Tibet and the Uyghurs? But mostly, why ONLY Israel if we’re concerned about genocide?
Sigh. Because the genocidal atrocities committed by Israel rank as some of the worst in human history and nothing done by China comes close.
China is not exterminating babies, children, adults - Israel is and has been for 78 years.
And Israel claims to be a Western democracy so compare apples with apples. China does not. Your comparison is a farce unless you are saying Israel needs to be compared with non-democratic tyrannies. There you have a point but by comparison China is still benign.
I don’t think you’re familiar with the current status of the Uyghurs. They are basically enslaved.
