I hope you are taking enough time for yourself. I appreciate you constantly generating content with your trademark sarcasm. It is hard to watch and read at times but a great service for us all. Thankyou

I suppose that if the participants in The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising had surrendered nicely, the SS would have responded in a noble and magnanimous fashion, right?

After each article I think by myself "OK, she has said it all, she has run dry", and then your next article arrives, and Bingo, yet another one hitting the nail on the head that has not been hit yet.

Well done, Caitlin.

While I can’t wrap my head around all this atrocity, I also can’t wrap my head around why the rest of the world is standing by and watching this happen. I understand we can’t do much on an individual level, but, like Caitlin has said before, Biden could most likely stop this with a phone call - that may be simplistic as I can’t possibly know this for sure, but surely at least a group of governments could stop this. It’s unbelievably atrocious.

From my humanist perspective — avoiding the insubstantial diversion of gods-promising-real-estate — these facts are all strongly suggestive of a culture embroiled in a mass psychosis — a collective loss of moral and ethical constraints. I’m referring to Zionist culture of course, given that indiscriminate murder is surely not part of the moral code of Judaism itself. At the least, ethnologists should study and delineate the factors that result in Mass Cultural

Psychosis, simply to learn from Zionist history what's required to precipitate such a deranged course of cultural development.

Israeli forces reportedly drove bulldozers over hospital patients in tents and buried people alive.

not the first time, RIP Rachel Corrie.

Good points. Everyday IDF stoops even lower, the other day they found women children and babies executed at point blank range inside a school 🏫 This is SOP standard operating procedures. The evidence of IDF atrocities are growing exponentially. Nothing can open a closed heart and mind if you can witness these atrocities and still support Israel. We are dealing with some real evil here.

"Biden’s presidency has turned out to be everything anti-imperialists feared it would be, and so much worse."

Biden/obama/bush/clinton/nuland/kerry/mccain/graham/romney/ryan. They are The Swamp. They represent the imperialist US interests. They bring shame to the US and its rational citizens. They must be stopped.

Good to see some humor today, though. Can't always dwell in the sewers others create.

I'll have to agree with you, Caitlin, when you say, "It’s very complicated." It must be because I keep thinking it's rather "simple" and I'm told that isn't what it's all about. Here I think genocide is wrong. Murdering civilians is wrong. Bombing babies in incubators is wrong. Slaughtering mothers and children is wrong. But I keep getting told that those are only "surface issues" and that I'm missing the "bigger picture". What could be bigger and more important in the world today than a genocide is happening in Gaza, and it's morally and ethically wrong and needs to be stopped immediately? I lose a lot of sleep pondering this overly simple question.

A vote for Biden is a vote for Genocide.

If instead of Israeli hostages, the victims had been Palestinian civilians, we would NEVER have heard about this, let alone see it make the headlines, and the IDF and the US mainstream media would have denounced as a crass anti-Semitie anyone who made any claims that the IDF kills people who waive white flags and are shirtless

“… It’s interesting how outside the IDF Israel and its supporters are predominantly all about freeing the hostages, but within the IDF the attitude toward the hostages seems at best to be depraved indifference and at worst outright hostility.…”

Even more interesting though, is that the U.S. and UK have active troops and ships helping the Israelis to “find the hostages”.

At what point does the western public clue in that their governments are not merely “allowing” this depraved acts of mass murder, but in fact ACTIVELY involved in it, from butchering palestinians all the way through to killing even the Israeli hostages.

I fail to see how a militarty organaization dedicated to ever more brutal forms of horrific murderous behavior can be reformed. The IDF AND the present Israeli Government are WAR CRMINALS carrying out, for the last 75 YEARS, ZIONIST STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM against Palestinians.

Could these evil attacks on children and babies be really happening? And the sad answer is that they are because Zionism is a totally evil creed and as much a problem for the bulk of Jewish people as Nazisim turned out to be for the bulk of German people
