Your newsletters help me focus, not to derail in apoplectic anger and frustration; to find new angles, and to feel understood; to find redemption for the sometimes guilty thoughts that whiz around in my head - I am not mad. Thank you.

This isn't just Israel. It's western elites, corporations and mainstream media.

I find it hard these days - with the constant bombardment of news horror stories from at and around the world, to make any sense of what is going on, where we are heading, without feeling like some deranged conspiracy theorist, so thanks Caitlin for helping to make it make sense - even when it’s total madness.

After all we have learned about choreographed lies and fabrications about heroic and professional Oct. 7 military breakout out of Gaza concentration camp — why is Hamas still described as “terrorist” ???

Hamas behaved professionally and well-disciplined in conducting a successful breakthrough military attack out of decades long open concentration camp.

Panicked and cowardly Israeli army, however, murdered its own citizens while as usual launching a coordinated fabrications about “beheaded babies and rapes” – ALL disproven by now.

Hamas party was democratically elected and represents wishes of Palestinian people.

Does anyone believe that if the Zionist entity were holding Palestinian hostages all these months, that any would still be alive, fed and healthy?

Israel and the US created and fund Hamas. Netanyahu said that a conflict would occur, but Israel must not look like the aggressor.

Thank you so much for writing this and posting where all may benefit from it. This is one of the most concise descriptions of Israel and the most important issue of our times. I wish every American could have this article placed before them (or crammed down their throats, if needs be).

SW asia will never be overcome by the slow, ugly suicide of the zionist entity. Any suicide is agonizing to witness, particularly one featuring the maximum damage to those nearby. zionists are masters of self-dispatch, which derives from the suicidal concept of 'chosen people', a radical specimen of divisiveness.

Thank you for not giving that entity a name. Instead, name all the martyrs.

I'm still wanting to have that 24/7 online vigil to read all the names of those killed in Gaza. The technical aspects are what's stopping me from getting it going. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

That is a complicated problem, for instance a huge YouTube post. Best would be as a filibuster in US Congress, with the added benefit of going into the record. At least, read the children's names.

The name it gives itself denotes something beautiful, so it's not applicable. It's a name chosen for propaganda purposes and to mislead.

As to martyrs, the entity has got a real, insoluable problem on its hands, given that martyrdom is deeply embedded in the culture that the entity is mass murdering.

www.HenryMakow.com and Caitlin's articles are two of the best sources of information about the root causes of this genocide.

trump uses the word shylock in des moines, iowa. That was the same location lindbergh made his speech against jews on 11 September 1941. I think his advisors told him to do this because it's become too obvious since the Iran strikes that trump's a puppet of netanyahu.

Thank you for this post! Yes, that perfectly describes the Zionist entity. Sometimes, depending on the wind direction, from half-way around the world, I can detect the odour of the kibbitzim. The vile hubris. The attitude of Übermensch.

Israel versus Judaism

"On March 30, 2020, in one of the police raids in Beis Shemesh, the Israeli police arrested Rabbi Binyamin Friedman and gave him an unusually long sentence due to his history of protests against the state. Additionally, they tortured him in jail in a shocking and horrific manner."

"Netanyahu didn’t make Israel the way it is. The way Israel is made Netanyahu. Netanyahu is Israel in its natural state.”

Ne'er a truer statement has ever been made. Thank you for your clarity Caitlin.

What is the Coalition for Regional Security-- The Abraham Shield Plan

"In the coming years, the State of Israel will rebuild itself as a Zionist, Jewish, democratic, safe, stable, and prosperous home in the land of Israel."

Is it true that Israel will ask or has asked Trump for bunker blasters in order to return independently to the war in Iran? Does anyone have information?

Feral,

As someone like you would know.........a quote from long ago.

“This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”

US General Wesley Clark, a long, long time ago.

Iran and others have always been on the US agenda.

What we need now is the USA to be on someone else's agenda as the #1 target. A couple of Chinese submarines off the coast of New York should do it.

They may then realise that they can be vulnerable as well when we see New Yorkers running for cover from a nuclear bomb.....or two...or three.

Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis. Scary days. First taste of fear since WWII .

Sixty arrogant, bullying years ago, but now with 750 military bases and a megalomaniacal Trump / Netanyahu pairing, forming the Trumpanhayu Administration.

Contrarian 33's avatar

It was even more foolish years ago not to pursue a military alliance with Russia or China to protect them against the Israeli parasites and their 400 nuclear warheads, now spreading their evil values worldwide with the help of the Western weak-knee'd governments and a totally corrupted media.

Calls for a touch of humour from Tom Lehrer.........

First we got the bomb and that was good,

'Cause we love peace and motherhood.

Then Russia got the bomb, but that's O.K.,

'Cause the balance of power's maintained that way!

Who's next?

France got the bomb, but don't you grieve,

'Cause they're on our side, I believe.

China got the bomb, but have no fears;

They can't wipe us out for at least five years!

Who's next?

Then Indonesia claimed that they

Were gonna get one any day.

South Africa wants two, that's right:

One for the black and one for the white!

Who's next?

Egypt's gonna get one, too,

Just to use on you know who.

So little Israel's getting tense,

has 400 now for "self defense".

"The Lord's our shepherd," says the psalm,

But just in case, we better get a bomb!

Who's next?

Luxembourg is next to go

And, who knows, maybe Monaco.

We'll try to stay serene and calm

When Alabama gets the bomb!

Who's next, who's next, who's next?

Who's next?

Thanks, Tom Lehrer.......with amendments.

Their position was that it violated their religion. Hard to imagine there are some folks with a religious objection to nuclear weapons.

Feral Finster's avatar

That was the stated reason. Funny how religious principles often prove malleable.

Regardless, the Americans have no such misgivings. So Iran can decide - follow suit or vet beat up.
