Dear Caitlin! I am so proud to be one of your readers and followers. You are shining point of light in the vast darkness the US, Israel and NATO thrive though. For now, all this modest Palestinian wants to say is THANK YOU and SOLIDARITY. Peace and love always. Bishara Costandi

Well Bishara, in support of our comments and hoping that it may add to your comfort, let me say that the readers of these pages will work to get your country back, to rid that same country of the evil planted on your land in 1946 by the UK, primarily to rid them of a problem, not created by you, but by yet another so-called "civilised" country, six years before. That same country now having chosen to turn its back on you and your people.

We will also never forget the evil done to you and your people by those who based on their own false understanding of their importance in this world, their self-promoted and naive feelings that they are special, incorrectly promoted as 'Gods's own' and their historical characteristics of greed and corruption and who since that date have caused your people to be tortured for seventy eight long years with little or no help form those who should have helped.

Yes, the people of the world have let you down. They have succumbed to greed and corruption and discarded any semblance of humanity.

So you are not alone although on this day, you have been discarded by so many Western countries who have also been infected with the evil qualities of your oppressors, a disease which now seems to have infected so many, shown daily by their actions.

Don't despair, therefore. Np one will ever forget the history of this world in which Palestine was a major part. in centuries past. Nor will they forget the countries that allowed this to happen along with the perpetrator's hateful cruelty while so many others stood by and watched and did nothing.

We are with you and yours. You need to know that.

I am sure I speak for all the readers of Caitlin's writings on these pages.

Thanks, Bishara.

Be confident that one day the world will wake up to the crimes of the US and its sycophants, Israel and its murdering genociders and the weak Western world for its complicity in crimes against humanity in Palestine, for over 70 years with no credit to the United nations, a failed organisation if ever there was one.

It really is time for the Middle East bloc, minus the hated Israelis on stolen land, to form a partnership with China, Russia and the African states.

Worse to come yet, however as Biden and his white, Anglo / Christian criminals with 8 years only of oil reserves, wake to what that means to US industry when compared to 1,000 years of reserves in Venezuela and other very substantial reserves in places like Kuwait, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Saudi, with the exception of Venezuela, all located in the Middle East.

That's the game right now. Power plays for oil, at any price. Right, Netanyahu?

The medium used, wars, sanctions, blockades, starvation and plain bloody murder. It is the only thing that 2024 Americans and their evil cohorts, Israel, can do and they will continue to do ithis, one now as evil as the other.

The sole reason for the genocide, with total US support.

Without 'Israel', the United States ceases to be an Empire. It NEEDS the chaos that 'Israel' brings to the world at large, as well as the post WW-II 'moral' argument (all but now collapsed.)

Without the Zionist entity, West Asia would naturally unify & Jews, Muslims & Christians can once more live in harmony & peace, as they did for millennia during the reign of the Khilafa.

Without Zionism, there will be Peace. The sooner 'Israel' ceases to be & The peoples of the region can organically unify, the better. Apartheid & Settler Colonialism will end & so will 'Israel.'

I used to live in California, and went to San Quentin a number of times to join demos against capital punishment. The police in the US originated from the plantation guards, who used to watch the slaves at work, chase the runaways to catch, torture or kill.

Ikr? I have such difficulty when I see so-called Christians and preachers, joining anti-death-penalty efforts. As if they don't see what their own religion actually represents, as if their beloved saviour hadn't endorsed the death penalty with his acceptance of the crucifixion for not only himself, but for the other condemned men as well. Although I support such groups, and always will, it repels me to see it crawling with these religious types, who claim to oppose the death penalty for religious reasons. Are they joking? Where would their salvation come from if not for the death penalty?

>> "there is no need to discuss because we obviously don't read the same media"

Man, I hear it ALL the time - that excuse is always thrown at my face. Doesn't matter if it is from the "right" or from the "left". The "right" have their sources of media and the "left" have their sources of media.

I had a similar experience with my brother. This was in relation to the Israel-Palestine situation. Everytime I bring up facts, he says - "so you think you are always right?". I say - "No, here are the facts - tell me which of my facts are incorrect". He says - "Just because you read more, you think you know more? I have my own facts". I repeat, "tell me even a single fact that I have told you that is wrong". He says - "you keep throwing your facts on my face. Who do you think you are? You think you are so great." And then he goes onto personal attacks - "You're insignificant! You're insignificant". I ask him again - "I'm willing to admit I'm wrong if you can tell me where I'm wrong and which facts I got wrong". At this point, he just hangs up the phone.

So how does one resolve this conundrum of not being able to agree on anything due to their own preferred sources that feed into their own confirmation bias?

I'm not a degreed historian, generally eschew "alternative history," and am probably dated and jaded at my 80 yo. But my recall of reading such as the Washington Report On Middle East Affairs in the 1990s remains IMO valid: Hamas' forming leadership and national spirit, mid-'80s, led the movement to consider that the PLO-cum-Fatah-cum-PA was already tending to tend to itself and its entrenchment rather than to the people of Palestine and their legitimate social, political, human-rights, justice, freedom-from-oppression/illegal occupation et al aspirations. That reality was reinforced for me by WRMEA's reports that Intifada I (1987 start?) first featured Palestinian women taking to the streets of Palestine, beating rhythmically on pots and pans, and chanting "No to Occupation! Yes to Dignity, our Rights, and Freedom!"

I first took up the Palestinian cause in 1964 while studying the Arabic language, culture, and extant facts at the Defense Language Institute, Monterey, CA. That's 60 years and counting....

Actually, I think that (legislative) election was 2006 -- and the vassal US and its master 'Israel' set about furiously to "do it in."

The Zios are so good at such...divide and conquer, control and dominate et al.

Historically many genocides have been in the millions. Like wars and famines the lives lost are horrendous. We can excuse only so many things as being "the ways of the world"; but we must also ask ourselves are we willing to see the world become a wanton slaughterhouse where lives are dispatched for the sake of pure greed and power. It has been this way throughout history but now the slaughter has become more indiscriminate than ever and the psychosis of war and genocide only become more deeply entrenched and a palpable disgrace to our humanity.

Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum just issued a Report that warned:

"Misinformation and disinformation is the most severe short-term risk the world faces."

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2024/01/ai-disinformation-global-risks/

Get that? Repeat: "the most severe short term risk the world faces".

And the elites are doing everything to repress, suppress, block, and deny the distribution of "misinformation and disinformation".

Get it? The crackdown is underway.

Top global risks addressed by National and local regulations

"Which approach(es) do you expect to have the most potential for driving action on risk reduction and preparedness over the next 10 years?"

Censorship and surveillance (64%)"
