this is not genocide, this it not holocaust !!! this is way more than that. It is genocide + war crimes + complicity + no international law + no human rights + rights that were voted to protect us from genocide are not applicable for everyone ...etc
I would also add the arab and neighbors nations like egypt, jordan, cyprus, ksa ...etc. They all can end the genocide/ecocide/war crimes ... in 48 hours if they want ... but they don't want...
What Cory Booker did in the Senate recently in extended fashion
What they call here in the Southwest: All Hat, No Cattle
And no aspersions meant to sex workers especially those who struggle to feed families
But Sex Workers only service one client at a time.
American and other Western politicians are far more versatile — able to work as whores for numerous clients at once: Wall St., Pharma, Big Energy, Oh yes, and lest I forget, ISRAEL.
And all the other Nazis who never died.
And keep freely murdering innocents globally in the name of Master Races and social and economic progress.
“It says dark, dark things about our civilisation that this nightmare has been allowed to continue. That our rulers are able to facilitate this mass relentless atrocity month after month”…etc etc
Absolutely. I must be stupid - everyday I have - or had - a tiny tiny little bit of hope that ‘someone’ - some force - some country - ‘God’ - ANYONE - will stop this deliberate, barbaric, evil genocide. How naive I am…..it just gets worse. It’s old news (except for the Palestinians) - the world now worries about Trump’s tariffs……the ICC should be in Hungary arresting Netanyahu.
We're all in that grasping at the faint glimmers of hope situation -- every day, Judy. Because we're bloody desperate that there should be at least a splinter of justice in a world we comprehend, and without that we live in an incomprehensible sludge that makes it hard to see, to breathe through the evil barbaric black shroud of death that hovers over this planet. And tomorrow, the same? It's unconscionable.
I speak of justice only conceptually, entirely recognizing that, in practice, humans are incapable of materializing a reasonable semblance thereof. Every bloody job I've ever worked substantiated that view for me. And also that your statement about power is also inescapable.
Exemplary: Of the FT gigs I held, the academic was the freest in most ways. But when faculty-admin meetings transpired and academic issues were discussed, you could have the vast majority of the faculty (the guts of a university together w/ the students) leaning one way. But if the admin -- dean or dean under the pressure of Pres and Board of trustees wanted something else, screw faculty and students screw doing justice to the mission of higher ed that got the institution its accreditation. Justice my tuchis (to use the Yiddish in honor of Miliekowsky).
I know you're right in practice because Homo is hopeless, but my dad was an attorney and did a bunch of pro bono for immigrants so he injected me with the conceptual piece.
Many top universities in the USA, such as Columbia, Harvard, and Penn been threatened with the loss of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars of annual federal support unless they banned all criticism of Israel and its policies, while individual students who publicly expressed such criticism in campus op-eds or demonstrations have been snatched off the streets by teams of masked federal agents, a development clearly reminiscent of the Stalinist Soviet Union and never previously seen in the USA’s national history, until now. Such loss of academic freedom will destroy the international influence of these institutions, which for generations have constituted one of the USA's greatest tools of global value through advanced education and friendship.
Some details above extracted from the Utz Review.
For any American President to go to these lengths to eliminate any criticism of Israel, a foreign state, must surely indicate that the decision making in such circumstances is being made under some form of serious pressure, so powerful in fact that it has forced an American President to give unlimited priority in all things to that same foreign state over his own country, to what is now apparent to all, the great disadvantage to his own country.
That is why the association of that same President with any act ...or person... in the past that could be seen as a matter able to be used to end his career / authority, should be immediately investigated like never before.
We all know to what I am referring.
No leader of any country should be allowed to display so outrageously their subservience to any foreign state, particularly one engaged in ethic cleansing, the stealing of land and the deaths of multi thousands of innocent people.
That is truly unacceptable as it would be for any country, but which is now so obvious happening by what we have seen actioned by the USA since January 20th.
I'm the same. The first thing I do each day when I wake up (lucky me - I sleep) is to search for some glimmer of hope that someone, somewhere, is calling a halt to this madness. But instead what do I see? 15 paramedics murdered and the perpetrator on a jaunt to Hungary.
We are very grateful to Caitlin and Tim for keeping Aaron Bushnell's memory and his selfless deed alive. His was an act of compassion very few of us can ever emulate; only the Buddhist monks who self immolated during the American war against Vietnam.
The Israeli carnage goes on - the bombed are bombed again, the displaced are displaced again and again and again.... the starving are starved again. Countless the times of mothers weeping over their dead babies again and again, scenes of desperate fathers carrying bloodied shrouds wrapped around their dead little children happening over and over again.
The world goes on. Trump gloats over his tariffs, says it is the most beautiful word in the English language. Netanyahu the architect of a genocide is feted in Hungary by a man who no doubt aspires to be like him.
There must be good people and good places and good things happening somewhere... But this is the world as we know it right now.
I know too, too many people who simply cast their eyes downward, shake their heads and murmur, Yes it’s all so sad.
THIS is not the time to be sad; it’s the time to be OUTRAGED. Of course sadness and despair permeates our hearts (those of us who have them) at the unspeakable-ness of it, but what we should heed is this quote from Thomas Aquinas:
He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is IMMORAL. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice.
And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are IMMORAL as well as UNJUST.
Great stuff, gyp, thanks. And justice is one of the public faces of love (Cornel West). For me, it's justice and compassion -- the twin public faces of love.
The ongoing destruction and murder are barely covered in the news. The execution of 15 UN aid workers NEVER was reported on MSM. I sent my daughters a link because they’d never heard of it. With the tariffs and the economic crisis ginning up, all news from Israel will be ignored so the Zionists will step up their attacks—we’re already seeing it. People worried about their jobs and how they’re going to make it will be the priority. The timing seems suspicious to me.
And I have found out that if you try to get people to see this ugly truth that the tariff stuff is distracting the world from they just call you nasty names and accurse you of having TDS! Cyberland is filled with nasty people and you must have thick skin to post anywhere.
I guess some people have a job and don't want to lose it..........perhaps you may find peace in another environment that allows you to have morals. You may not make as much money but you will be free.
Jenny, I have a feeling that many people seem to prefer "security", "comfort", etc. more than "freedom". Hence we have this dystopian state of the world. Maybe if people REALLY cared about freedom (not just individual but also societal) instead of pretending to care (while really wanting/prioritizing security, comfort, etc. instead), we would have a very different world.
The Hind Rajab Foundation is launching urgent legal actions to block Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned visit to Hungary. Netanyahu is currently wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. HRF will petition the ICC, call on the Hungarian Public Prosecutor to arrest him, and notify European airspace authorities to deny him passage. Legal teams across Europe are also preparing to activate universal jurisdiction if he travels beyond Hungary. HRF urges all European states to uphold international law and refuse safe haven to suspected war criminals.
I really wish someone would kidnap the Bibi monster and take him to the court in The Hague. Surely someone out there has thought about doing so by now. I'd give my last dollar to anyone brave enough to do so.
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.
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.
this is not genocide, this it not holocaust !!! this is way more than that. It is genocide + war crimes + complicity + no international law + no human rights + rights that were voted to protect us from genocide are not applicable for everyone ...etc
Fully endorsed, supported and funded by Yankland , the E.U. and U.K. but mainly American Mexicana.
I would also add the arab and neighbors nations like egypt, jordan, cyprus, ksa ...etc. They all can end the genocide/ecocide/war crimes ... in 48 hours if they want ... but they don't want...
Because they have their hands in Western pies also. They love money more than they love their neighbour, just like the rest of us, it seems
Israel and supporters are Terrorists.

So do I. "All Hat, No Cattle" is indeed the work of the sardonic Texan, Mr. Hightower, a clever soul who deserves to be credited. Thanks.

Incomprehensible sludge - that's it exactly. 😞
There is no justice. There is only power and what you do with it.

Note that last phrase "what you do with it".
An example of that power, Feral and Vin.

You aren't alone.

Beautifully expressed Indu! Thank you!
Don't lose hope. Because only the good people lose hope. And if we all give up, only the murderous, the elitist and the apathetic will be left
Thank you Mary! 🙏

Hurrah.
Aaron Bushnell's quote often rings in my head.

The fact is, though - you know about it. I know about it. So there's no reason for others not to know about it?
And I have found out that if you try to get people to see this ugly truth that the tariff stuff is distracting the world from they just call you nasty names and accurse you of having TDS! Cyberland is filled with nasty people and you must have thick skin to post anywhere.

Yes exactly!
I am not sure whom you are referring to here.
You.
Well, you really don't know me, then. Earlier, you thought I was living in poverty, now I am apparently a minigarch servicing Israeli interests.
Both are way off.
Lines crossed.
Whatever that means. Most likely that your assumptions are entirely wrong and you utterly thought terminating clichés, rather than admitting it.
Not at all. I was answering Chang. I think.
I won’t support any party that supports this carnage. Because i’m starting my own that will end it. https://bsky.app/profile/phoenixleague.bsky.social
Very good Caitlin. You never cease to stand up and tell the truth in all of this horrific MADNESS. Aaron Bushnell was so right! 😢☮️🇵🇸

Come on world let's prosecute the monster
I really wish someone would kidnap the Bibi monster and take him to the court in The Hague. Surely someone out there has thought about doing so by now. I'd give my last dollar to anyone brave enough to do so.
Thank you for always writing about what needs to be said.
But, if anyone observed the total destruction in Gaza as excessive or arrogant or monstrosity...that may be embarrassing to the tribe?
