Thank you Caitlin for saying what we all be saying. At 88 years old I have no problem with saying fuck Israel. Remember when a child running naked from bombs the US dropped on Vietnam and was published in a major magazine.. How come the father holding up his headless child is not put on the cover of Time? Because Jewish billionaires have taken over the media .

not to nit-pick, but "Zionist"

billionaires would be more to the point. I agree with the rest completely.

I try not to provoke Zionists. Some of them are armed and impulsive. Just last week, I asked a 95 year old holocaust survivor if he supported the genocide in Gaza. I though that we were friends. He showed me his pistol. He was packing in a public park.

You are on point because there are more Zionist Christian billionaires than Jewish billionaires. By blaming it all on Jews we are letting some of the biggest Christian Zionist criminals get away with this genocide.

with how you tried to provoke me (and I'm not even one of them) - by using unimaginative toothless profanity provocation, that's not much of a feat of life.

How would a US ww2 veteran react if you asked him if he supported genocide in Libya, Iraq?

Not every conversation has potential to be good, loaded questions never inspire a good conversation.

I am not as optimistic and perhaps quite cynical when I doubt the image was published without the nod of those that have to give a nod. Luckily msm does not control all facets of information now so some truth can be found in cacophony of reality shows.

Their manager was amazing during a recent interview. So calm, rational and on point, I can't believe they allowed him to finish a sentence.

Irish tricolour but I admit the orange looks red.

My peepers struggle defining wee stuff.

P.S. I had to translate my friend, I don't speak Italian (other than some footballers names & food, sorry)

I'm Scottish, we struggle with English never mind a 'forrin' tongue. 😉

DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.

https://dawnmena.org/latest/

Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration, and include all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide.

Thank you! I will never say "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine." I will never write, "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine." Above all, I will never think "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine." Again, thank you for telling me to never say, write, or even think "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine."

Well, I think I get the sense of what you mean. At the same time, the growth of 'Fuck Israel' does say something about the hole that Israel has dug itself into. By which I mean that the behavior of Israel toward Gaza and the other Palestinians has fueled an outrage against Israel.

Unfortunately, this is likely to spill over into resentment against Jews who live in Israel and/or support Israel from other countries (especially America).

And this is particularly unfortunate because 'Being Jewish' can mean several different things:

1. Believing that as a Jew you are a member of God's chosen people, and that other people lie outside this circle.

2. Being the child of a Jewish mother.

3. Adhering to Judaism as a religion in one or another of its variants.

4. Believing that Israel is a country (or state) devoted to Jews and that you are part of this (some combination of 1, 2, and 3).

In short, guilty by association. Until a few years ago, all Muslims were facing the same thing. That's why I would caution against any action or word that might cause this spill over.

By saying nothing, writing nothing and not thinking about it; is that not the same as approval or accepting the lies put out by the Zionist state of Israel?

Absolutely. It is our moral duty to do everything on our power to stop the Zionists and their neocolonial capitalist overlords.

Planning to make a white kite to march with and was considering what small thing, if anything, I might add to it - painting a little slice of watermelon was the plan, but "FIFP" is likely to make it as well.

What's funny is, at least in my neck of the woods, the same people who would get offended by this were the same people who oppose political correctness. Again, this is drawing on my own personal experience that, when the situation is flipped, they get offended within a matter of microseconds. As far as I'm concerned, if I don't like what someone's saying, I simply remove myself from the situation and that's it. It's that easy.

Some have a pathological need to get the last word. They will stand on the edge of a volcano screaming their crap if it made a sound that offended them.

RIP, Pope Francis. I feel sure he will go to Gaza in spirit. Everyday, while he was alive he spoke by phone with the Holy Family church in Gaza. Here’s my petition, which I have updated to call on the new Pope, to go, whoever the new one is. Let's keep the pressure on.


Call on the (new) Pope to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing:

Joy in HK fiFP's avatar

Originally, Francis was who the Pope was. I updated the message when he died, but the original one still stands, both as a memorial to history, and to what didn't happen when it should have.

We'll just repurpose it for the New Guy.
